64. We don't have any more time

Tue Jan 11, 2022, 06:22 PM

Trying to appease this asshole is useless. We take things out of this bill that really need to be there, hoping to win his approval, and he still turns his nose up at it.

Put everything back in the bill that has been laid aside. Then, call out the Dem version of Guido to visit Mr. Manchin and twist his arm. Yes, Biden is too nice. He's a good man. This situation has gotten to the point where it requires someone(s) with a mean streak, and absolute focus.

Who would fit the bill?
