Are you a clueless Russian troll or what? |
Dude chill - there are videos of her putting her hands behind her back like she’s being detained with cuffs. Melodramatic just like her fence crying photos. |
Nope, just waiting for 11% inflation while the progressives continue caterwauling about trans rights and free daycare. |
Deluded? She has backed the Party’s Platform consistently and admirably. Manchin cares nothing for Platform, but in particular he despises the rights of women, the environment, voting rights, and social and economic justice. His record in Congress proves that. The only ones who love him are conservatives and the ever shrinking number of “old school” fake Democrats. |
What use is a platform that gets nothing passed because voters don’t want to support legislators who run on it? BTW that platform isn’t new. It’s Bernie’s and he’s been pushing it for four decades with zero to show for it. I could care less about AOC - she’s loud and brash, nothing new to that. |
Clown calling people stupid but didn’t watch the video! The Clown Show defense of AOC continues unabated! |
Hes just salty because he knows he may not be alive when the democrats control the WH and congress again |
LMAO! Yeah sure. Melodramatic. Why don't I hear you whining about all the "melodrama" when it's something like Ted Cruz sitting in a Border Patrol boat surrounded by guys with big guns for a photo op? |
He's gonna be irrelevant soon. Dems will have a majority in the Senate with the next election. |

I think he's perfectly understandable. He hates liberal welfare policies funded by ruinous tax and spend policies. Only sane person in the whole democratic senate that wont keep voting on policies that will worsen historic inflation. The fact they keeo trying to twist his arm and bully him into submission like the American Rescue Plan is the definition of insanity.
Democrats should consider themselves lucky they are in the majority because of him and they can bring their bills to a vote and have been confirming D judges including Jackson. Ds would have gotten squat with McConnel in charge but I bet Biden would be way more popular than he is now. |

The tweet posted in this thread is out of context. Manu Raju’s first question to Manchin was about the climate action bill, and his financial entanglement in coal and fossil fuels. No surprise that Manchin shot down Schumer and will not consider raising taxes on the wealthy or corporations. He received a million in campaign donations from oil and gas companies 2017-2020. He has financial holdings between 1-5 million in Enersystems, his private coal business in WV.
Manu Raju: How do you respond to the criticism from your colleagues that you strung them along for a entire year, and at the end of the day you pulled the plug? Manchin: I never strung anyone along. I was the first one to raise the alarm on inflation. I’m worried about the person that can’t feed their family. Manu Raju: It’s your financial ties to the coal industry that raises concerns. Manchin big deflection: Ya know what? Everyone has a job, everyone has tried to make a living to provide for their family. If they want to criticize that and look for a reason— the bottom line is inflation. Manu Raju: You keep hearing Republicans say you should just join their conference. What do you say to that? Manchin: See you later! One critic made it very clear. Senate Finance Chair Ron Wyden, whose committee had jurisdiction over the clean energy tax credits and corporate tax provisions, said in a statement, “Since nearly all issues in the climate and energy space had been resolved, this is our last chance to prevent the most catastrophic—and costly—effects of climate change. We can’t come back in another decade and forestall hundreds of billions—if not trillions—in economic damage and undo the inevitable human toll.” Manchin is disingenuously using … but inflation. His solution is to invest more in fossil fuel and continue lining his pockets. He doesn’t really give a sh!t about that person who can’t feed their family. He’s truly the worst kind of moderate. We need to gain 2+ senate seats to knock him down from his fake perch. |
Dems are projected to lose the House. Go google how to pass a bill. |
