Does anybody else doubt that BBB died when BIF passed the house?

[ColinC]

Or do they assume that Manchin would have made this declaration regardless of whether his bill didn't make it through?

Was BBB dead all along or was there always a chance it could have passed? Is there still a chance?

1. I only Manchin knows what he would have done.We are playing a futile game here

[onecaliberal]

2. I was of that mindset but I heard the reports that Manchin was working with the president.

I heart President Biden say that Manchin had agreed to a framework.

3. He would have made the declaration. He held the cards.

That is why they did not go together.

We needed BIF passed for the good of Democrats.

4. Except

We needed BIF passed for the good of Democrats.

The BIF is overwhelmingly full of what the Repubs and Corporate Dems wanted.

6. Oh really?

[Frasier Balzov]

5. That's not what Pramila Jayapal thought.

[ColinC]

8. There was doubt then.i wonder what she thinks now.

[WHITT]

10. Actually

she's the one who pointed out the BIF made Climate Change WORSE.

7. Yep.. AOC had it right

Unless Judas manchin's corporate handlers would have a change of heart (fat chance). BBB died the moment the other bill passed.

It was like someone on a ventilator and feeding tube... Brain dead just waiting for Judas to pull the plug after he had twisted the knife enough in Joe Biden's back enough to make the democrats look bad enough is his buyers eyes.

11. We should start calling the SOB 'Lucy'.

Damn, I'm TIRED of the repugs snatching the football away!!
