I’m not confident that Joe Manchin will ultimately hold the line on more spending; however, it is interesting that on the same day Manchin is reported to be casting doubt on more Joe Biden social spending {LINK}, the Washington Post published a hitjob on him around his family finances {LINK}.
Accepting there are no coincidences in politics, it would appear the intelligence agencies are firing a warning shot against Senator Manchin based on his financial connections to the West Virginia coal industry.
(New York Times) – WASHINGTON — Senator Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, the most prominent Democratic holdout on President Biden’s $2.2 trillion social safety net, climate and tax bill, cast fresh doubt on Monday on his party’s plans to speed the measure through the Senate before Christmas, saying he still had grave concerns about how it would affect the economy.
Mr. Manchin outlined his skepticism before speaking by telephone about the bill with Mr. Biden, a discussion that aides to both later characterized as positive. After the call, Mr. Manchin, who represents West Virginia, did not rule out the possibility of supporting the measure this month. He said that “anything is possible here” when asked about a vote before Christmas, and that he was still “engaged” in conversations with the White House.
But in a 50-50 Senate where Democrats would need all of their party’s votes to push through the legislation over unanimous Republican opposition, Mr. Manchin’s reluctance to embrace it has helped freeze the measure in place. (read more)
Every article written about the Build Back Better/Social Spending/Green New Deal bill, carries a totally different price tag. The New York Times says $2.2 trillion. Politico said $1.6 trillion, and other media like CBS have put the figure around $3 trillion. Regardless, Joe Manchin has reservations about it.
Those reservations have apparently triggered the ‘six ways to Sunday‘ deep state….
(Washington Post) – In Sen. Joe Manchin III’s hilly West Virginia home county, his family’s business has made millions by taking waste coal from long-abandoned mines and selling it to a power plant that emits air pollution at a higher rate than any other plant in the state.
That enterprise could have taken a hit under a key part of President Biden’s climate agenda, a $150 billion plan to push coal plants toward cleaner energy. One lawmaker, though, played a central role in killing that proposal: Manchin, who has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars annually from the family coal company while using his role as a Democratic swing vote in a 50-50 Senate to dictate Biden’s policies.
When pressed about whether he has a conflict of interest, Manchin bristles. “I have been in a blind trust for 20 years. I have no idea what they’re doing,” the senator told reporters in September, referring to his family’s coal firm. “You got a problem?”
But contrary to his public statements, documents filed by the senator show the blind trust is much too small to account for all his reported earnings from the coal company, as of his latest financial disclosure report, which covers 2020 and was filed in May. (read more)
Nice investment portfolio you have there Joe, it’d be a shame if something happened to it.
DOJ will likely announce a FARA investigation soon.
And a full swat team arrest conveniently covered by cnn.
… complete with an amphibious assault by a commando team in tactical inflatables
(even though West Virginia is land-locked)
Manchin does live on a house boat, so there is that.
Don’t worry. We can vote our way out of this nightmare.
Wait! What? I need the /sarc tag?
Seriously?
My chuckle for the day 😉
Actually, Joe Manchin just might be in a pickle. An independent caucuses mainly with the dems, but uses the moral high ground to often, where are you going to go now?
Many a mistress would walk away and find another. However, now the wife knows and it looks to late for all involved. And the wife, no one going to fault her.
Trump is the only man to save us, right after he stops promoting the injections that are killing millions.
I voted for, and have great respect for Trump, but he is the one who delivered the “vaccine” at warp speed. It will become the albatross around his neck in 2024 as the Democrats will conveniently forget that they were the party that force-fed it to the American people for four years. They will attack Trump at every turn for the damage it did, and he will have no satisfactory answer. It could very well cost him the election.
And regrettably Trump still doesn’t see as he continues to boast opening the door for big Pharma to rapidly deploy the vaccine was one of his great achievements.
I don’t get why he continues his defense of the shot. I don’t get why his lawyers aren’t aiding the Jan 6 political prisoners.
Of course, i didn’t get why he allowed Van Jones, cop hater and self avowed ‘communist revolutionary’ to attend his criminal justice reform First Step bill signing. Oh wait, the commie was sandwiched bewreen Jared and Ivanka. That’s a clue.
What a disaster. Now blue states have paroled cop killers(here in Virginia) rapists, thieves and crime is up in capital city 30 percent. Low bail, no bail and coddling of criminals ‘of color.’
PDJT had good intentions with the second chances bill but he was bamboozled once again by the commies.
I am a conservative in Oklahoma.
I have been in touch with his office several times to encourage him to hold the moderate line.
Please do the same.
Manchin will cave if a) the price is right or b) theres no political damage to him. Right now he believes FJBs build back broke is a loser politically and will cost him his job. If polls change he will change too…see a) for that.
Manchin will cave. He will be offered $ and favors and that’s all that matters. I’d love to be wrong.
Repeating my reply to Marcus…
At least I tried!
Regardless of the outcome.
Some of you need to do the same.
If he fails, at least you would have tried.
Nothing ventured is nothing gained no matter how hopeless it seems.
My sister and I had the same EXACT justification for her trip to DC in early Jan 2021 (I was her bodyguard)
I agree. This green new deal would kill him next election. That if a Republican would clearly spell it out for the people instead of just sound bites.
How much is a vote worth that releases 2 trillion of funds that are diverted to friends of the elite? If he doesn’t rake at least $100 million he is selling out way too cheap.
Maybe, but at least I tried!
“You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don’t take.”
Wayne Gretzky
👍👍👍 Wayne was right.
Do nothing and you get nothing but zero in return.
I write him weekly, to remind him that (1) West Virginia Democrats did not put him in office without the help of WV Republicans and (2) he will get zero Republican votes in 2022 if he signs on to this. As a WV Republican, I think I know what I’m talking about.
–“…he will get zero Republican votes in 2022 if he signs on to this”–
I don’t think Manchin is up for reelection in 2022.
He has already hinted at leaving, besides when push comes to shove they always got Dominion
Good.
You’re doing what you can! 👍
They will compensate him in some agreeable manner.
He is in negotiations with them even now and they’ll make some arrangement that either excludes him or completely compensates.
Someone needs to send him an artist’s rendering of evil souls burning in hell.
Maybe that will remind him we are only here for a short time but eternity is forever.
This is what the left does while the GOP sits back and watches.
On the bright side…
Will this cause him to finally switch parties?
We don’t want the duplicitous bastard.
How about Manchin for Murkowski and a Congressman to be named later.
Yes we do.
To which party? McConnell’s party?
Or our party?
Not the same parties.
GOOD comment, maybe BEST of the Day,…but I haven’t read them all, yet!
BULLSEYE! There are THREE parties in DC now, and it’s driving the UniParty nuts.
if he did switch, would be doing the same thing to PDJT in a few years, that he’s doing now to Demoncrats.
Haha we trying to get rid of his kind
thats because the rino’s are just as dirty!!
And they don’t even learn anything by watching.
typical democrat maneuver.
If SD is right and Manchin is playing at trying to come out of this as being the “moderate Democrat leader” then this could end up backfiring on the powers that be…badly.
I was wondering about some of the deep game being played here… mainly what happens if Manchin refuses to blink and the IC chooses to force him out. Doing so would potentially change Senate control, but how much does that matter really? And would the IC take that risk if it didn’t have a suitable contingency in place?
Lindsey says hi.
is that sellout rino lindsey your referring too?!!
The one and…I guess not only since there are several.
If Manchin holds, Pierre Delecto will step up and help Shumer out.
I live in Arizona…don’t forget Sinema. She could cave. She’s a complete fraud.
It ONLY “changes control of the Senate”, if you think in antiquated, outside the beltway R vs D way of thinking.
The IC, the Uniparty leadership, and everyone in DC with half a brain KNOWS the Majority gavel in the House, is going to go to McCarthy, and in the Senate, McConnell is going to get MAYBE a 1 seat “advantage”.
But, changes NOTHING except optics, cause the single Uniparty controlling Congress was in the Majority before the election, and they arebin the majority AFTER the election.
Long term Dems are already announcing their retirements, in anticipation of and to facilitate the change, just as Reps in the House did, before the 2018 midterms.
Put bluntly, they “flip” the “majority/minority status of the two faced Uniparty, like people changing their socks, and it means about as much.
McConnell has his sleeve full of jokers he can deal, any time he needs to “lose” a vote he doesn’t want, the ever willing squishees, Murkowski, Collins, Romney, etc.
So, the “risk” to the Uniparty-D, of losing Manchins seat to a Uniparty-R is minimal.
The Uniparty has set it up that way, so no one Senator can hang them out to dry, or hold them up for too much ransom.
To me, the real ? isn’t Manchin, its Synema.
She’s a total whack-a-doo, not sure she has any skeletons in her closet, that haven’t already been exposed, and not confident they can buy or bully her.
good anlysis
Agree; especially if it Manchin does have eyes on sitting in the Oval office.
“But contrary to his public statements, documents filed by the senator show the blind trust is much too small to account for all his reported earnings from the coal company, as of his latest financial disclosure report, which covers 2020 and was filed in May.”
This reads more like the left plans a whisper campaign of ethics charges against him.
Better to try keep his vote on the plantation since it could always be an ongoing investigation.
it’s ALWAYS some investigation. this keeps the red button visible to all players.
that hand that hovers over it…never knowing when but knowing for sure that leaving the field, is a sure way to get it smashed.
My bet is Manchin also knows where FJB and his slimy clan get so rich too.
“But contrary to his public statements, documents filed by the senator show the blind trust is much too small to account for all his reported earnings”
Anyone recall WaPo being concerned over Bela Pelosi’s reported earnings? Or Feinstein? Or Hillary? Urkel?
Hunters?
Or Manchin’s up to now!!
WAPO thus proves true the well-known axiom that it only investigates its political enemies.
My brother sent a package with WAPO pages wadded up for filler. I threw the wadded up paper in the dog poo bag. At first I was going to burn it but the fire danger is just too high.
Also from the Gateway Pundit:
“The Mob Was Summoned to Washington by President Trump” – BREAKING: Unhinged Demon Liz Cheney Hints Federal Charges Against President Trump
Liz Cheney read subpoenaed text messages from FOX News personalities to Mark Meadows tonight during the sham January 6 Committee hearing.
So these leftists subpoenaed Mark Meadows text messages from AT&T or another carrier, or maybe he turned them over to the sham committee.
Now they are releasing them publicly.
She has lost what little mind she ever had. The RINOS as well as the Dems are really terrified of him.
Hmmm, my nickel on the grass is that she’s enraged at Trump and his supporters for getting uppity. The princess won’t suffer the little people to insult her highness.
Someone who has some pull over him should encourage Dick to take Liz on a hunting trip.
This EVIL b!tch Cheney has something to hide…. that’s the only explanation for her going after Trump.
She’s the Tip Of The Spear of one last #NeverTrump Gasp. It’s not going to work.
Hey Liz: it’s the economy, stupid.
Well….if so…she’s pretty damn stoopid to believe that PDJT is a teeny-tiny bit intimidated by this fake investigation….
Anyone with an IQ above a dead ferret knows they are scared to death of PDJT and what he has done, is doing, and when it will all be revealed.
There is so much more going on and one day it will be revealed.
She thinks going after Trump is gonna solve her problems, but there are most likely 100 million+ people who support Trumps movement to make our Country Great again and to keep it GREAT, not just for one election period, or 2 years till the next Congressional seating. The real traitors who are harming our country, aligning with China, etc. have a nice way of revealing themselves though, most of them are in these committees attacking Trump and therefore the rest of US great Americans.
And that number of Trump support continues to increase as it matches the rising price of bread and fuel
Hey, easy there. I’m busy working on my latest product. It doesn’t work, in fact all our test data points to it being downright lethal. Never mind all that though. The thrust of our research is to convince the people who don’t buy it, as the reason it doesn’t work.
LOL
Trump has come out of the weeds and is more visible now. The Fake News has and is being debunked. The “Bad Guys” no longer have the bullhorn influence and control they once enjoyed.
People notice the Afghanistan, Southern border and the mandated vaccine debacles. People are now more receptive to the 2020 election being fraudulent.
It is the fraudulent election exposure what the “Deep State” players fear the most. Being charged with treason is not a joke. It is serious and it has them in desperate panic.
I don’t know that PDJT has “come outvof the weeds” all that much.
I remember seeing Ali fight, as a kid. After every round, they would “score” the round.
One round, Ali would rope-a-dope, as his opponent punched like crazy, while Ali covered up.
He would lose that round on points.
Next round he would come out, but only just enough to win that round.
And then back to rope-a-dope. At around 9th round, Ali would truly “come out”, and opponent was all punched out, and could barely hold his gloves up.
Point being, I think PDJT comes out “of the weeds” JUST ENOUGH. And, being “in the weeds” is strategic, right now as they are TRYING, DESPERATELY to appeal as being “anti-Trump”.
Not much appeal in that, when he gives them nothing to be against.
I agree he hasvthem terrified, because hevis the one thing that could destroy the Rino control over the GOP, and if that is
destroyed, the Dem party can not maintain, let alone advance its agenda.
Her political career is over and I’m betting shes running out of DC friends too. Shes toxic even by DC standards.
What are the chances they actually get Trump? And if they do, what happens? Will everyone just crawl back into their home and moan about it?
I’m sorry but at that point there better be action from everyone who supported him.
Chances of getting Trump: Zero
Liz the Liar seems unaware of the level of “dislike” real Republican women have for her since she revealed her hatred for our President. Without us she doesn’t have a chance. Federal charges?? I sense a huge rebellion brewing if they try that. She disgusts me.
FLC.
And whatever does she mean the President needed to act immediately? What was he supposed to do? Remember, he had already requested 10k national guards a couple days or a day before the rally.
From what’s been revealed so far, sending national guard and capitol police had to be authorized by others.
So what did Liz the Bi*ch expect him to do?
Where are Pelosi and Millie’s records of that day and around that day?
Oh that’s right, all animals are equal but some are more equal than others.
Liz is as Demonic as Nancy.
I wonder…I wonderbif Nanzi said no to NG troops, because she feared they might support PDJT?
With 10,000 armed troops, AND 100,000 civilians, she feared he might then storm the Capital, and sieze control.
In her alcohol pickled, addled paranoid shriveled excuse of a brain, made totally insane by TDS, I can see her, and THEM, thinking this way.
Remember, Miley was giving assurances to China, etc.
On SOME level, they really do see PDJT as being the incarnation of evil, and capable of anything.
So, that COULD explain her refusal of what (to anyone who isn’t suffering with TDS) seemed like a perfectly reasonable request, 10,000 NG troops, for traffic and crowd control, of an estimated 100,000+ people coming to D.C.
Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, or hell a fury like a woman scorned.
Not the first Congressional committee to illegally obtain and then release phone records, and Liz is putting on display for all to see, what the Republicon party really is.
Otherwise, McCarthy should have stripped her of ALL committee positions, and the RNC should have kicked her out of the Party.
No, McCarthy doesn’t have the authority to kick her outvof the House, tthe voters of Wyoming have to do that.
That this hasn’t been done, shows that they approve of her actions, and that pretty much says it all.
F the Republicon leadership, from McConnell and McCarthy, to Ronna and everyone in between, including liz and mitt.
When they finally target his daughter who more than doubled the cost of the epipen overnight, because she could.
He will suddenly find a justification for destroying his own constituents.
The swamp protects the politicians family felons for a reason.

Funny… I remember that controversy but the only name I recall being attached to it is Martin Shkreli, a Big Pharma insider and cartoon villain who chose to hurl himself on the metaphorical sword of social media outrage.
How convenient for Manchin at the time, and how convienant for the IC now, that his daughter’s involvement largely escaped notice.
IMO that is being held in reserve in case he doesn’t budge after this salvo.
Leverage!
It’s different to watch the Kabuki when you can see the strings.
Only at the Conservative TREE HOUSE, with Professor Sundance, was where I learned to look for the strings. Am sure that I am not the only one. 🤔🤔🤔
DITTO! 🤠
As I remember: President Trump took that money back. Then when biden got in they gave the money back for a previous vote.
Well, we’ll see what stuff he is made of, won’t we. A man with some character (although a Dem) or a straw man who stands not on principle. I’m not taking bets.
But pray for him anyway!
I do, Solomon. And not just him. I pray that God will open all their eyes, no matter who, and stir every shriveled soul.
As with any sinner. Also, pray God’s Will be done, and God’s Glory be revealed.
Jesus prayed that the cup that was prepared for Him to drink would pass Him by nevertheless stated thy will be done on earth just as it is done in Heaven
Maybe it is time for those who have possibly been blackmailed by the evil doers, to step forward and tell the world the truth?
Yep.
Own up, own it, take the hit, stop doing their will.
I have been saying this since the Dred Justice Roberts caved on ObummerCare…just own up to it and start naming names. I truly believe there would be such a stampede of others doing the same that most of the crimes would get ignored in the onslaught!
That usually leads to a stroke or sudden unexplained demise.
Eating a pillow, for instance. But now, they have the Vax, and biological agents to dose you with.
Remember Donna Brazils reaction, when she heard Seth Rich had been killed;
she wouldn’t stand near a window, afraid she would be snipered.
And this was a DEM, and someone ON the plantation, firmly in the libtard camp.
These are POWER addicts, control freaks,..with no moral or ethical limits to their behavior.
I doubt anyone will ever flip, cause Epstein not only solved a problem, it sent a message.
And Seth Rich was ALL about a message; he had already transferred the thumbdrive to Assange.
They weren’t sealing a leak, they were sending a message.
Makes perfect sense, Bogeyfree… Unless the offense you’re being blackmailed for is unspeakable….
Self-destruction should be preferable to destruction of one’s country.
Just saying.
Yeah, not that many patriots among the D.C. set in any of the three broken branches of the corrupt federal government.
Well, of course, Maquis… For people with a conscience who can feel shame…
Do these people strike you as having a conscience? Do they seem shame-able to you?
If one is guilty of participating in the defrauding a FISA Court, perhaps your choice might be ‘preferable’ to them….
If they are guilty of crimes against humanity — like child trafficking, etc. — I don’t see them being too noble.
They are more likely to take the ‘self-exit option’ without “stepping forward and telling the world the truth” in that case, in my view. It’s how evil is wired…
one might be inclined to even admire the impressive power of the secret police spy state to rapidly MANAGE central state actors.
it’s quite impressive.
that’s the enemy…right THERE.
I’m sure years back it was all done informally, behind closed doors.
now the corruptors are riding free to spell it out in hot red: get in line or else.
advertising your power is essential in maintaining it.
manchin will fold in 1, 2, 3…
I suspect the Conspiracy has contingency plans and deep dossiers on every actor in the political sphere.
A well funded and well staffed Conspiracy with, yes, rapid response forces.
I would no more stake my nation’s future on Manchin that I would Roberts.
Who cares??? This has gotten so ridiculous…Like somehow Manchin is King Maker….It’s stupid….I’m not falling for any of this theater…. I’m looking for the ‘phantom’ John Durham….Has anyone seen this guy??? Seriously….I’ve been saying for years John Durham is a ruse…a complete head fake….I don’t believe there is a ‘real’ John Durham….it’s just a name.. A picture of some guy with a mustache and stern look on his face….
a quick search through the archives of Sundance U here, will provide you with all the answers you are looking for. No I won’t do it for you.
Is Sinema voting for Build Back Broke?
Yeah. Disappointing like learning Santa wasn’t real either.
Still havent gotten over that one.
Yeah, but in Germany they arrested Santa,…for not wearing a mask!
So, he won’t be delivering presents this year, kiddies cause on X-mas eve, he’ll be in JAIL!
Howie???
If clapping sea lions appear, we will know.
Joe’s a drama queen and is not MAGA and never will be. Dont trust him to save the Republic. And the Republican’s cant be trusted either.
Interesting that NYT refers to the resident as Mr. Biden.
A tradition dating to the time when they actually “set type” to print newspapers; the FIRST time, in an article they refer to the POTUS, they write “President “X”, and then every time after that, they refer to him as “Mr X”,…and as radio and television developed, they have followed that tradition.
If they take him down, 49-50 lose
If the replace him, it will be awhile 49-50 lose
If they replace him quickly, its W. Virginia, another Conservative 49-51 lose
Any Democrat that dares to try to leave the Plantation will be brought back in chains.
Is the Governor of West Virginia a Republican?
He’s a Democrat who switched to the Republican Party ~ a Transrepublican.
https://www.foxla.com/news/west-virginia-governor-jim-justice-switching-from-democrat-to-republican
I am so going to repurpose that :
“He’s a Democrat who switched to the Republican Party ~ a Transrepublican.”
🤔🤗😁
Republican in name only. “Jim Justice” apparently thinks it is ok to bribe his citizens into COVID vaccinations with state run lotteries and gift programs. He never fought back against the insanity, just wants federal funding like all the rest.
https://governor.wv.gov/News/press-releases/2021/Pages/COVID-19-UPDATE-Gov.-Justice-announces-Do-It-For-Babydog-Senior-Center-Edition.aspx
Then Transrepublican is exactly right; transsexuals can SAY they are women, when they are men, so he can SAY he is a Republican, when he’s really still a democrat.
Only his history seperates him from your typical Rino.
its maga or globalist
the word republican just means globalist these days
Yes. Jim Justice won as a Democrat, but changed parties because he supports Trump so much. WV Republicans like myself like him a lot.
Maybe more people will start to realize “No body is safe from these people”
We can argue and debate here all night long and throw our opinions around.
But none of us know beyond real fact in our opinions about Joe.
None of us are God Who knows every human heart to be able to judge and say for a certainty about Manchin.
He may be a ruse.
Even so, if he is, the ruse may delay the things the progressive left wants to foment on us all.
So be it.
I’ll take that over a dem/liberal blowout right now.
How many of you have called his office to speak your peace?
I have about 6 times.
At least I tried.
Did you?!
Yes, at least once, weeks ago… will call him again. And thank you for trying
I did.
I stay in touch with our OK governor’s office weekly.
Also Florida’s governor office. DeSantis.
We need to encourage these people even if they aren’t of our state.
Unity of truth is power!
DeSantis gets enough encouragement from we Floridians, but thank you anyway. Please stay out of Florida politics.
So, the Manchin family collects coal refuse from local mines, and sells it to local power plants to provide local residents power for x millions of dollars.
Manchin family money pales in comparison to Hunter’s Ukraine and China energy industry income, not doing any real work, but as a connection to his dad.
Where is the biden family hit piece?
The article amounts to Joe Manchin is doing something to benefit him financially, an action that is heavily favored by the residents of West Virginia.
His daughter has a very lucrative job at one of the pharmaceutical companies that makes the over priced epi pen and if I’m not mistaken didn’t dementia Joe just give JMs wife a 6 figure job in government ?
Yes, Brandon named Manchin’s wife to a development board (or equivalent) that gives away taxpayer money for special projects. That happened several months ago.
Then again, Manchin probably has a long way to go if he wants to catch up with Grand Wizard Robert Byrd’s record.
They never get around to renaming the thousands of things named after Byrd though.
At this point, readers, have you attempted to call his office…and offices of those who are on the other side of our conservative stance?
Regardless of what you might pre-determine to be a failed mission…which could certainly be, did you try to at least make your voice known?
Did you at least try?!
We can call til we’re blue in the face. Manchin is going to do what Manchin benefits from.
Was not sure who to respond to in this thread. Everyone, I believe has a “control file” on them that will be pulled out of the file when they presume it is to their advantage to use it when there is an agenda at hand.
And it is absolutely “normal” to me that the control file is of Manchin is being exposed by either the Washington Compost or the New York Slime “press.” Usually in an attack to degrade the person in question.
When the “press ” writes that the Obummer administration sent billions of dollars to fund “Clean Coal Technology,” just to keep the Dems in W. Virginia happy, I’ll take notice.
No use wasting my energy over where Manchin made his money, as it seems its usual for Pelosi, Waters, McConnell, etc, etc, etc to have “suddenly” made billions after being “elected” to office. Only those opposing the agenda of the day get their control file pulled out and put into the press.
Same old song and dance. How many times are the “press” going to rinse and repeat their same old degradation stories. Yawn. All of a sudden I’m tired.
Will the FBI or the CIA be aiding and abetting the WaPO on this investigating of Manchin for not supporting the Democrat’s Dig Hole Deeper bill??
Will no one rid me of this troublesome Senator?
Good Lord… It is all so obvious and predictable and they — the whole bunch of them — couldn’t care less…
They are totally up in our grille at this point…. And they don’t care how obvious it is…
Since seeing all the strings that we’ve been shown on this site over the years, it is impossible to not see them…
Just last night I said to my wife: if Manchin pushes back just a little bit more he’s going to hear from old Uncle Merrick or a Deep State equivalent…
Less than 24 hours later….
Does WaPo have any interest in how Pedo Joe can afford to own four homes, including one on the beach?
Makes no difference. The CIA has dirt on all 535 and can manipulate them at will. They just like to spin for dramatic effect and sit back and laugh at us.
The last bill that he said he was opposed to, Biden gave his wife a $163K per year job and suddenly he felt he could vote for the $1.9 trillion Covid Relief bill. He’s as bent as all the deep state and the media will expose him if he goes against this bill. He doesn’t have a deep caring for Americans or for the people of West Virginia. He’s been covering himself and what will keep him in office. I don’t think he will go against the party line and Kamala will break the tie. So, we can count on double digit inflation in 2022, loss of the power grid, no heat for red states, the climate corps monitoring our water usage and the amount of beef we consume, and the IRS auditing all Republican tax returns. And forget about the value of savings. I feel so powerless. I call and write and call and write and even our Republican Senators are traitors to the people of the states who voted for them. And Trump is under continuing attack.
West Virginia coal industry graft is better than China graft.
Manchin used to be the governor of West Virginia. Maybe that was before the Chinese got into the business of trying to play the influence game with governors. Maybe not.
After talking by phone to the illegitimate president, Manchin saying, anything is possible here, means. I’ve been made an offer I can’t refuse, and the fold like a cheap suit is in my future.
Who says the communist ministry of propaganda isnt real
Joe Manchin’s wife Gayle received senate confirmation for her $163,000/yr presidentially appointed position at the end of April. Two weeks later, Joe Manchin and a couple of other Dem senators introduced a bill to eliminate the carried interest tax loophole that hedge funds use as part of their business model. LOL. I’d bet Hunter Biden relies on that provision. Lots of influential deep pockets would hate to see that tax favor go away.
https://www.manchin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/manchin-bill-to-close-carried-interest-tax-loophole-eliminate-tax-breaks-for-wall-street-investment-managers
That’s what made Stalin such a great leader. The Communists constantly eat their own.
The Deep State is totally composed of deceitful, unscrupulous, shameless, mendacious VERMIN.
The Left is proactive. The Right reports.
Either they scare Manchin and he submits, or this pisses him off. Given (as you call him) the installed puppet’s approval rating in West Virginia is around 20% I’m inclined to believe it’ll be the latter.
It’s clear the Democrats have learned one thing from ObamaCare. They can pass and shove down any horrible bill against the will of the people and still win big. They weather the storm and return in full power. Manchin will submit AND be voted back in. They know this.
So they want to audit Senator Manchin? Joe, Biden is worth at least $9 million because of a book deal. How about Hunter? Did Joe’s book deal break-even for the publisher or was that really a donation? Is this just another in a long list of “convenient” IRS leaks? Just askin.
We shouldn’t be indignant. Democrats play to win, that’s why we are where we are. We should be playing the game exactly the way they are, unfortunately, we aren’t… When we require power we need to destroy our enemies using the same tools, with the same ruthlessness, this includes the shills, stealthers and grifters within our own Party also…
The thing is, the shills you speak of “in our own party” use ALL the dirtiest of dirty and illegal and immoral tricks, but not against Dem opponents, only against primary challengers.
A bold and possibly smart move for Manchin would be to face the Dem’s latest coercion and dirty tricks head on and publicly declare he has had enough of Democrat treachery and become an Independent member of the Senate–or even better yet declare himself a moderate Republican. If he folds it could be because he is either weak and feckless or that the WaPo is right and he is just a self enriching Senatorial crook that is trying to stop further investigations of his finances.
If Joe votes against this reckless Woke Grifter Omnibus Bill, his most pleasant days in the Democrat party are over. They will never forgive him; but his voters would likely stick with him if they are an informed constituency.
This would also be good time for a prominent journalist or News source like the New York Post to do a revealing hit job on all the top Democrats by describing the wealth they have accumulated while in office. Maybe throw in McConnell’s family’s enrichment via “business” with the Chi Coms as a token Republican.
In the end, Joe Manchin always does what Chuck Schumer tells him to do. When has he ever not voted for a Democrat final bill?
I can’t stand these duplicitous bastards.
All Joe has to do is come out, highlight this coincidental article, then announce he will be switching parties. And, he needs to do it wearing a MAGA hat and have Trump at his side.
That is how you flip the situation and go on the offensive, rather than playing defense the whole time.
Sure, they can spin it but that move….that announcement that way….is just a way to lob that mortar right back at them.
Put no, zero, zip nadda faith in Manchin, he will cave when the pots write for him..
I believe if there’s a Red Wave in 2022 (And I believe there will be) Joe Manchin (who is up for re-election in 2024) will become a Republican in January 2023.
I reckon Trump will “convince” him – perhaps as Speaker of the House.
Speaker Trump will of course claim credit for increasing the Republican Majority in the Senate – how good is that, a Republican House Speaker who gains seats for Republicans in the Senate!!
Sinema could do the same thing frankly – like her or not. Or like Joe or not for that matter.
It’s just politics – and these two potential “RINOs” could well end up with Primary Challenges in 2024.
When I hear, “red wave,” I get a gag reflex. Not sure the CIA will be able to cheat the same as in 16, but they will cheat enough. The UniParty globalists are banking on it.
If they are able to do to Manchin as suggested in this post, then Manchin, being in a unique position to understand what has been going on, has been focusing on the wrong things while in Congress.
They will reap what they sowed.
Manchin will fold and vote for the bill. He’s a Democrat, and Democrats lie as a core political strategy.
