@itsjibba

If both bills die it hurts everyone, but it hurts Manchin the most

Guarantee you that the MSM will make sure it hurts progressives the most and almost instantly goes completely nuts blaming them for nothing, not even the “bipartisan” bill, getting passed. It’s precisely what Manchin is being paid to orchestrate.

@dr_coyote

Not if they can’t win against a Republican challenger. Like it or not, Manchin can .

If we are talking 2024, when Manchin is up… I’d rather the party give him the finger.

If we are at 50 seats even again I’d be surprised…

With VRA update, we won’t need Manchin, without it we lost anyway.

@tsp

Apparently, Manchin wants to minimize any investment to help his constituents improve in those rankings.

Exactly, like every other Republican.

Keep you constituents sick and stupid for electoral benefit

… coal-fueled fans to blow at the windmills …

Sheer brilliance! Add the new jobs and still save the dirtiest, most dangerous jobs for West Virginians fit only for coal mining.

Fuck Joe Manchin. Oh? Has that been said before?

Said Before?.. Yes

Said Enough?.. Never

@jackofalltirades

Can we include Texas and Florida in that ban?

Let me check … hmm … only if they have horribly criminal governors. Yeah, you’re good to go.

He could always change parties as the Governor of W by god Virginia did.

I’m thinking it might take a horribly destructive hurricane to blow Manchin’s house down before he gets an idea of the urgency here.

[DuckmanGR]

At the end of the day Manchin is a small little man. He’s barely different from Lieberman.

Seriously, the Democrats need to take him aside and threaten everything he holds dear, his wife, his kids, and his own life.

Hahahaha, like who? Chuck? Corey Booker maybe? Markey, Bernie, Brown? Maybe borrow someone from The Squad? Sniffit? castor, dr_coyote, he looks tough!!

Ugh, I’m so sick of having to depend on some feckless toad to keep the republicans out of power. I want to crush Republicans, not work with them.

@DuckmanGR

dr_coyote, he looks tough!!

Or he could be a bag of Japanese snack food holding a cat.
(hat tip @danny whom I noted “appear[ed] to be a cat” and responded as above)

[runfastandwin]

If Democrats cave on this I swear to Christ. It sucks but no reconciliation no bipartisan bs bill.

[runfastandwin]

If only some intrepid journalists would pursue him about this…

[old_curmudgeon]

I don’t know about that. It caused a lot of problems.

Besides, there was Maj. Devereux’s famous message from Wake Island, “Send us more [Japanese].” When he got out of a Japanese prison camp and someone asked him about it, he said (or perhaps concluded) that the words were code padding. “The last thing we wanted was more [Japanese]!”
