"SNIP.......

Politico: “One day after sinking President Joe Biden’s signature social and climate spending legislation, Manchin laid out a path forward that could take months and still fail. He wants the legislation to go through Senate committees and focus on rolling back the 2017 Trump tax cuts.”

“He also wants Democrats to stop trying to force him into compliance.”

......SNIP"

1. In other words, he wants the Dems to do it totally his way.

No compromise whatsoever.

[Cousin Dupree]

2. What Manchin wants is whatever his briber wants. This guy is obviously corrupted big time

[Scrivener7]

3. I'm surprised he's looking to roll back TFG's tax cuts.

[Efilroft Sul]

4. That's the carrot to his running-out-the-clock stick.

[Scrivener7]

5. Ah! Of course. Thank you. I didn't even see that!

6. given he knows Sinema

has already said she won't agree to tax raises, this is all bs.

[no_hypocrisy]

7. Another fake-out. He'll vote against the bill tailored to his specifications.

[Mr.Bill]

8. If I were Biden I wouldn't

even take his calls.

But then that's why he's president and I'm not.

9. So now Manchin has his own agenda he wants everyone to follow.. Why one would think...

he's the president.

[Crunchy Frog]

10. He wants Dems to clean in between his toes with their tongues.

And then he still won't vote for it.

11. So all he has to offer is more delay.

No thanks, Joe.

Oh, and fuck you.

12. The BBB IS Mostly all Manchin atm, other than a few add-ons

in the House version, and one of those is binned already, by the Parliamentarian (immigration reform).

His fucking ink and handwriting are ALL over the Senate template, it was built to his specs.

He is playing a bait and switch con in repealing the Rump trillions in tax cuts as well, as he bloody wells knows Curtsy Sinema will never vote for that.

A few days ago, at the White House, he put his name on a framework (HIS framework) that was getting very close to being workable, looked Bid n in the eyes, agile his hand, then went out and proceeded to knife Biden and basically ALL the rest of our Party in the back, and on FOX FUCKING NEWS, just for max troll points.

He is not a good faith actor.
