In reply to the discussion: Pelosi rejects Manchin's call for a 'pause,' shows little willingness to pare back $3.5 trillion bil [View all]LastLiberal in PalmSprings
(12,582 posts)8. Rather than everyone else taking a "pause," why doesn't Manchin just catch up?
Doesn't he realize if he continues his obstructionist ways he'll be in the minority party after the 2022 election? Then he'll be able to write all the righteous op-eds he wants and nobody will give a shit -- especially the Democrats. I hope he doesn't plan on bringing home to goodies for his constituents. He says he's protecting the filibuster for them. Bullshit! Someone is paying Sinema and him off; eventually some Bob Woodward-type reporter will ferret out the facts.

They (press) can ask her all they want, but if they don't move, she may have to

I know. And as I said in my first response, I think she is done with the drama queens.

I read a bio of her in the now-defunct LA Times Magazine when she became Speaker the first time

Good. Let the undermining and pseudo-Dems be absolutely clear to all. Switch parties OK?
