Were it not for the fact that the move would make Mitch McConnell Senate Majority leader again, there are many of us that would just assume punt Joe Manchin over to the Republican MAGA party where he belongs.

His excuse for being such a pompous sh*t head (Covering up all that corporate money he gets. He is a Koch Co. favorite) is that he’s from West Virginia, and he likes to ask if we would like it better if we just had a GOP Sen? Well, it’s getting old because when one votes with the Republicans on the most important legislation of our generation, it doesn’t appear to make a difference.

If I were in the DNC I would start running ads against him.

He is voting against Build Back Better. All of it. Biden isn’t going to get his signature piece of legislation because of one man. The man so consumed with power that one wants to pop him with a needle.

Jen Psaki had some choice words for Joe Manchin (Former D, WV)

Weeks ago, Senator Manchin committed to the President, at his home in Wilmington, to support the Build Back Better framework that the President then subsequently announced. Senator Manchin pledged repeatedly to negotiate on finalizing that framework “in good faith.

On Tuesday of this week, Senator Manchin came to the White House and submitted—to the President, in person, directly—a written outline for a Build Back Better bill that was the same size and scope as the President’s framework, and covered many of the same priorities. While that framework was missing key priorities, we believed it could lead to a compromise acceptable to all.

Senator Manchin promised to continue conversations in the days ahead, and to work with us to reach that common ground. If his comments on FOX and written statement indicate an end to that effort, they represent a sudden and inexplicable reversal in his position, and a breach of his commitments to the President and the Senator’s colleagues in the House and Senate.

In other words, F-You, you lying PO… And then Psaki went right after Manchin personally, calling out the “insulin” issue, which directly impacts Manchin’s daughter who may be charged criminally for her price-fixing as a pharma executive.

He will have to do some explaining? We will ask his daughter.

And you can read Psaki’s full response HERE, it’s a doozy.
