Posted December 21, 20213 yr So W. Va. Democrat Joe Manchin went on Fox News Sunday and said he would not vote for BBB, effective killing the bill. A great development, the bill was fiscally irresponsible and would have stoked inflation. Still, Nancy Pelosi went on record as saying they'd try to work on this more after the New Year break. Manchin's vote was motivated in no small part by the extent his constituency relies on the coal industry. We'll see whether or not renewed negotiations will focus on that. Let's hope this bill stays dead in its tracks where it belongs.
December 21, 20213 yr Yep, Dems upset by this need to show up and vote to try an increase their numbers in the Senate making Manchin irrelevant.
December 21, 20213 yr The funny thing is that Manchin might run for president. If he did, Trump and the republicans would paint him as 5 miles to the left of Karl Marx and the end of capitalism as we know it.

None of us are moderate or conservative. All Dems = Liberals.

Trump will say it was stolen because reasons, because feelings. Trump supporters will once again use violence to try to change the outcome.

You do realize that he can't get enough votes to win either a primary in either of the two main parties, so your speculation is pure fantasy.

Just out of curiosity, what events caused more damage to property - the George Floyd riots or the Jan. 6 event in D.C.? Or does violence not count when it's committed by Democrats? Or are people "triggered" if they mention that uncomfortable fact to the woke element?

BBB was largely an enactment of the New Green Deal - a coal killing New Green Deal. And what is the chief natural resource in W. Va???? Just now, Dave Moss said: Ok Kz I invite you to make an intelligent response, although none can be had by you to that point.

Just out of curiosity… which event was encouraged by a sitting president? which event was a bigger threat to democracy? I don’t support the George Floyd riots and think any participants who damaged property should be prosecuted for it.
December 21, 20213 yr Imagine the roles were reversed and BLM stormed the Capitol forcing Congress to evacuate. That would be all Republicans would ever talk about.

My point is the cockroaches in his party won’t sit idly by and let him do this without finding some way to trash him as a person.
