Immediately following the statements by West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, earlier today, which effectively ends the Senate Build Back Better bill, the White House releases a lengthy statement [READ HERE] blasting Senator Manchin and releasing the leftist hounds from Hell upon him.
This reaction from the White House is exactly what the communist Democrats do whenever they are rebuked. We should anticipate the extremely angry Biden administration will retaliate with even stronger economic punishment against all Americans this Tuesday.
WHITE HOUSE – “Senator Manchin’s comments this morning on FOX are at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances. 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.
Senator Manchin claims that this change of position is related to inflation, but the think tank he often cites on Build Back Better—the Penn Wharton Budget Institute—issued a report less than 48 hours ago that noted the Build Back Better Act will have virtually no impact on inflation in the short term, and, in the long run, the policies it includes will ease inflationary pressures. Many leading economists with whom Senator Manchin frequently consults also support Build Back Better.
Build Back Better lowers costs that families pay. It will reduce what families pay for child care. It will reduce what they pay for prescription drugs. It will lower health care premiums. And it puts a tax cut in the pockets of families with kids. If someone is concerned about the impact that higher prices are having on families, this bill gives them a break.
Senator Manchin cited deficit concerns in his statement. But the plan is fully paid for, is the most fiscally responsible major bill that Congress has considered in years, and reduces the deficit in the long run. The Congressional Budget Office report that the Senator cites analyzed an unfunded extension of Build Back Better. That’s not what the President has proposed, not the bill the Senate would vote on, and not what the President would support. Senator Manchin knows that: The President has told him that repeatedly, including this week, face to face.
Likewise, Senator Manchin’s statement about the climate provisions in Build Back Better are wrong. Build Back Better will produce a job-creating clean energy future for this country—including West Virginia.
Just as Senator Manchin reversed his position on Build Back Better this morning, we will continue to press him to see if he will reverse his position yet again, to honor his prior commitments and be true to his word. (read more)
This is going to get ugly.
Best part of the letter AND SO HONEST because every bill out of the American Oligarch Chambers are bullshit
“is the most fiscally responsible major bill that Congress has considered in years”
Manchin needs to pick that and other statements made by the WH for the outright LIES which they are.
In fact, he should say he lost all confidence in the administration when he came reluctantly to understand that the statements and pronouncements from the WH and DNC were outright LIES.
You can be sure there are MANY Dem House members and Dem senators who are gloriously happy that Manchin did what he did so they don’t get saddled with BBB.
Maybe Manchin is hoping that his stand will propel him to the Dem nomination for POTUS. Maybe he’s been chosen by a hidden, secret group of office holders and lobbyists who want to move the party back to the center . In that case, he really might have killed off the Sanders, AOC wing.
Things being what they are, though, there are still a lot of monied lefties that will hate him for this.
“But the plan is fully paid for, is the most fiscally responsible major bill that Congress has considered in years, and reduces the deficit in the long run. “
Translation is huge new taxes and by saying it reduces taxes in the long run means that there is no sunset clause on the new taxes!
The bill cannot possibly be big enough because they keep letting needy people across the border.
…said The Plagiarist to The Grubers…
(not you, Whiteboard, The Occupant)
i know i know. =)
I have accepted that a physical altercation is coming – where they will order people with badges or new logos created, to round us up.
the rest of this is just theatre.
Lol I gotta a chuckle out of that too.
“those famalies paying $1,000.00 a month for insulin” can thank Joe Biden. He is the one who froze President Trump’s decrease in cost for that medicine, along with many improvements Trump devised while President. Can’t blame Joe Manchin for that one.
but asking a real question, WHY WOULDNT joe vote for it? its not going to cost him anything. period. no one has consequences with Dominion.
EDIT – I think the answer is the other CTH article just published. theatre.
It sounds like the communists are not very fond of the democratic process.
Note to all the semantic “Karens” out there: We are a Democratic Republic, which is a form of democracy, so no need to chime in with the “we are a republic, not a democracy” refrain.
well Machin on Fox brought up a second reason for saying no – COVID. so im sure some sick incoming covid bill is coming to us shortly.
Totalitarians are never fond of the democratic process.
The self described German Democratic Republic was totalitarian.
They built a wall and had armed guards to protect socialists from capitalism.
I swore an oath to the Constitution of the Unites States, not to a “democratic republic”. The United States is a Constitutional Republic in which we vote to elect citizens to represent us on all levels of government and, through co-equal branches of that limited government at the federal level, to ensure we can exercise our natural God-given rights freely; that is what globalists and totalitarians of all stripes are trying to destroy. We are a nation that respects the rights of individuals, protecting those rights even as a majority might be drawn to limit them for the “greater good”, using such fraudulent as allowing non-citizens to vote, vote-by-mail and other forms of cheating. As I believe Socrates might want to caution, democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner!
And therein lies the problem. We elect voting proxies, who then make themselves available and vulnerable to lobbyists and extortionists. Your convictions are only as valid as the proxy you elect.
And if your preferred proxy loses that election, your convictions are tossed out the window, even when they are deeply held moral convictions. We now have abortion, consequence-free looting, drug mandates and obscene deficits. That’s what your constitutional government gave you, voting every two years.
How long can that system endure? It’s obvious not much longer.
Perhaps this will help your understanding of the issue:
What type of government does the US have? (constitutionus.com)
Technically the USA is a Constitutional Republic…..with democratic processes
Exactly. Both are variations of majority rule. As long as votes are private, voting is easy to corrupt.
Get the popcorn, as it’s just a matter of time before Dementia Joe says something moronic, which will be followed closely in time by Heels Up blabbing something just as vacuous.
The sound and fury will signify their self inflicted incompetence along with a parallel inability to understand what happened or how to fix it.
Neither of them understand the basic elements of negotiation.
Expect that something to come out of Joe Dementia’s mouth during his Tuesday speech.
The word “Negotiation”‘s true definition/meaning is unknown to the Lib Dems. They think it means “our way or the highway”.
Thank you, was making the grocery list, had forgot to add popcorn!
It will all come down to blackmail. Is Joe compromised in some way? Are there pictures or better yet video of Joe doing inappropriate things. Will an old love interest surface? How bout financial shenanigans? Certainly there must be SOMETHING in Joes past ? Breaking news: It has been revealed Joe Manchin is not a monk or a saint.
Joe could do every sin on earth except violating a human – and I’d be okay with it If he wants to expose the cabal.
Or just a good old fabricated story blown up and repeated endlessly by the media.
The problem is, in the end, it is the people of West Virginia who they need to pressure and they may not have enough pure leftists to create the required threat. The Democrats may remove Manchin from all his committee assignments but it is doubtful they will kick him out of their caucus since that would drop the Dems into minority status.
That leaves good old corruption. Some leftist billionaire could offer a secret offshore bank account with 7 digits worth of cash. The corruption could also target the GOP. Some exposed RINO looking at early retirement could cash in as well. Murkowski comes to mind.
Look what was done to Democrat frontrunner Howard Dean a few years back. After he said he supported a two-state solution, which is contrary to the Globalist war criminal plans, they promoted and pushed a clip of him “screaming” pushed it relentlessly and destroyed his candidacy & campaign.

2004: The scream that doomed Howard Dean
I still can’t stand this guy.
Agreed, but it was interesting why and how he was taken out.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That was my phone ring for a while. Cost me $.99. Ha!
Dean was unhinged and that appearance successfully publicized it.
did DNC send him cool off to ANTARCTICA ????
One thing is for sure, the Dems play hardball and they don’t take prisoners. That said, its doubtful the Dems would primary him because any Democrat to the left of Manchin wouldn’t win in the general election. And using dirt to blackmail or “persuade” Manchin could have the unintended consequence of making him a sympathetic victim and rallying support for him.
Manchin knows his position and the position of Joe Xiden. Classic Rook move to freeze the King.
WV is traditionally a pro-union state, preferring Democrats. All the left has to do is roll out a Republican that walks and talks like a Democrat to confuse the masses.
Joe Manchin knows exactly what is doing and he’s knows how the game is played.
I read in some article that Joe Manch has a Maserati and a house boat. He didn’t get them on his Senator’s salary. Capice?
well to be fair..it’s …only.a Maserati SUV….
Will be calling Manchin’s office Monday to say thank you
And also to say that given the quality of the people in DC over the last decades
There is practically NOTHING they can accuse him of that would negate my admiration and gratitude. I am sick of watching this nation and the world driven into the ground by DC corruption/ incompetence/ outright treason
I know that Manchin is doing what he is doing for himself, not for me or my country. His past voting record has taught me that.
They are all sharks.
Perhaps Manchin is man enough to not like being threatened, after all these years of compromise with his fellow dems? Who knows?
You can push too hard and far sometimes against a certain type of man.
Oh, joe will compromise or he will simply disappear as they will kill him.
Hopefully he knows where a few bones are buried as well.
How bout financial shenanigans?
Swamp is already looking into those.
What were the charges brought against Senator Menendez of New Jersey shortly after he publicly criticized Obama’s Cuba policy? Were they related to finances or FARA-type charges?
His daughter got a temporary pass on the EpiPen scandal.
Watch “new” evidence pop up all of a sudden.
Plus she refused to testify to congress.
Suddenly that’s a crime in and of itself.
https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2021/09/manchin-large-campaign-contributions-epipen-scandal/
“They” will just go to the Hoover File Warehouse, pull the file marked “Manchin”, and they are good to go. No need for Dems to worry.
Heather is the risk.
will they poke a hole in the bottom of his yacht????
Let them eat each other. Maybe then for a few minutes the let the rest of us alone.
Who are the people behind Manchin? 🤔
He is not a single man, making a stand.
The CEO of Home Depot I giving money to Manchin. That’s why I hope he becomes a Republican.
By the end of next week Manchin will be a Putin asset.
And I won’t care about that, either.
Heck we have people who got suicided in Fort Marcy Park with two shots to the back if the head. How could Manchin out-do that in our banana republic?
“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.”
Haha, so Manchin is basically pulling a McCain on Biden, although for maximum effect he should wait for the vote and then give it a big thumbs-down.
Why would you take the WH version of things as truth?
When his this WH under Biden EVER put forth anything but lies?
If Sinema backs him, she will be his VP running mate.
Poor Brandon. Poor, poor, pitiful Brandon. Deceived by a “democrat”. Who’da thunk that could happen …
They should work on Romney or Murkowski. They would cave in a heartbeat!
Geee…what if they retaliate against West Virginia by closing down the FBI’s Robert Byrd Center in Charleston, WVa.
Ouch ouch
that would be so perfect
Take a moment and imagine this being reported, just for the pleasure of it
That would make the world a better place 🙂

“we will continue to press him…”
Nothing like signaling what you’re going to do.
Reminds me of Obama’s “Don’t call my bluff.” [Oh, were you bluffing? Thanks for letting us know.}
Nothing against the State.
The individual conscience is not a leftist concept. The individual who dissents is the nail that needs to be hammered down.
The fundamental logic of the leftist is that the absence of open dissent is proof of relative contentment. Utopians have learned the hard way to set the bar very low.
I’ll bet a donut that Manchin will be a hard NO on Putzhead Schumer’s so-called ‘voting right’ bill. And I look forward to seeing Manchin tell the irrelevant Comrade Bernie to pound sand after Sanders’ dumb comments today. This is getting rather entertaining.
Hopefully they don’t Vince Foster him…
Who cares if they do? They’re effectively destroying themselves and outing themselves as the corrupt criminal scumbags that they are.
Maybe they buy Senator Manchin a book for Christmas.
How to be a Democrat for Dummies.
Manchin’s “public utterances”? When you’re in the habit of parsing language for intent and meaning, well…
Add me to the list who believe he will have an unfortunate transportation accident. When it happens make sure to beat the drums LOUD on that “conspiracy theory”. Make them deny, deny, deny because their denials always point to the TRUTH!
If that happens, Manchin’s manhood had better lead him to give a reasoned speech, one in which he states again WHY he opposed BBB and how he has seen the Democrat party descend into lunacy.
Then, he should announce his dropping out of the party and his becoming an indy OR a member of the GOP.
A breach of his commitments to the president and the senator’s colleagues in the house and senate……. That’s the problem his commitment should be only to his constituents that he represents ..
true blue demoncrats and rinos it’s all about their agenda not Americans
Made this comment on the Joe Manchin interview thread.
Joe Manchin has proven to be always for sale. Joe Manchin wants JoeBama to grant him a legacy…he replaced one of the ultimate pork masters in Congress, Senator Robert Byrd.
Look at the wiki site for all the 100’s of sites named after senator Byrd. Joe Manchin wants bingo wings on his women and legacy for after he retires.
so basically with the current narrative, once Manchin later endorses it, the media can say the bill is better for the American People because Machin stuck to his guns and made it better (when we didnt need a single thing in that damn bill)
Yep, plus some money is allocated (ear marked) to build some “infrastructure” with Joe Manchin’s name it.
or…they “save” money by taking down the monuments to Grand Dragon Robert Byrd by renaming stuff in WVa after Manchin…ooooo….now that would make Sheila Jackson and Maxine Waters go weak in the knees.
yep they are going to have to round us up and kill us, because to many of us know their games.
I do not think there is one independent vote in the Senate. They are all controlled. The House may have a handful, thats it. An ex-congressman laid it out years ago after he voted the “wrong way” one time.
The Usurper’s handlers are afraid that their globalist masters will see them as unreliable partners in this frenetic lurch toward world government and “what one hand giveth, the other taketh away” in terms of tenure in power. They didn’t flip so many levers to steal a U.S. presidential election, in plain view, only to be stymied by the amateurishness of the American co-conspirators. And these people play for keeps and do not accept “Oops” or “We tried” as an excuse. Heads literally roll to make the necessary point. And for the record, “Manchin did not kill himself.”
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” – Ephesians 6:12
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” – Romans 8:37
Their name is LEGION
and they are many !
BTW, that pic of Joe makes him seem demonic.
In this case it fits, no matter how this turns out.
The only symbol the commies understand is NO and 🖕.
The irony of “I was for it before I was against” ala Sen. Kerry is palpable and I’m having a difficult time hiding a smile.
Have any of you ever seen a cornered racoon? Or ever worse, a cornered RAT? This is what is happening. You have to expect it. BUT, what the useless GOP will do little if nothing to put down the varmints, because they are allies. Frankly, they must all be put down, metaphorically speaking of course.
Apparently there are no compromising pictures of Manchin.
WaPO is using “climate change” to flog Manchin.
Manchin brought up electricity reliability. Let’s Go Brandon has warned of a winter of severe illness and death for the unvaxxed. Let’s see who will be right. Brandon could find himself more firmly up against that political wall if there are power outages. Manchin will look like the adult who needs to call for a wheelchair to take Old Uncle Brandon to the “home”.
Popcorn time.
Double post
Somewhat agree but , Biden is a placeholder so in that sense he can be blamed for a ‘ dark winter’ too.
Then he gets replaced. ????
The “dark winter” phrase worries me. It is like the time Joe told us about his voter fraud operation. An inadvertant admission of the plan ahead.
Funny how nobody picked up on Joey’s “admission”, eh?
Kamala is a placeholder too since she is not a natural born citizen. It is conceivable that she might not be administered the presidential oath of office.
With Uncle Brandon and Kamala both out of the way, the Resolute Desk would go to Nanzi, who will be 82 years old on March 26th. After that, Senator Patrick Leahy would be the next in line. He turns 82 years old on March 31st.
After that would come Anthony Blinken. No wonder John Kerry wanted his old job back as Secretary of State. The jet-setting climate czar is not in the line of succession.
What a parade of horribles.
Does it mean anything that Manchin went on FOX to make his intentions clear? That must piss off the Dem PTB even more.
How many choices did he have to go and bash the President? Manchin can always threaten to go back to Fox. As far as the WH is concerned, mentioning Fox is to discredit Manchin. Manchin does not seem to care.
I bet if Manchin had a press conference from Mar a Lago it would piss them off more.
I figured it meant he’d switched parties basically.
“Build Back Better will produce a job-creating clean energy future for this country.”
Riiiiiight ….. jobs making candles in the back yard, over an open fire because there is no heat in the house, to sell on the street corner, using the fat from the livestock you have to keep because meat is no longer being produced, and you couldn’t afford it even if it was, because the job you used to have no longer exists. But you can get a free degree in gender climate identity studies at the local community college once the feds take it over.
Everything it took our ancestors and us many generations to build, gone in the blink of a leftist progressive’s eye.
Joe Biden is a deceiver, a dissembler
His trousers are alight
From what pole or banner
Shall they dangle in the night?
Perhaps the admin and its water carriers can explain how essentially re-distributing coal production from countries that observe safety protocols to others that might have reported issues with that is going to work for pollution issues and reported climate issues.
https://www.energylivenews.com/2021/02/04/china-built-over-three-times-as-much-coal-plant-capacity-as-the-rest-of-the-world-in-2020/
“China built more than three times as much new coal power capacity as all the other countries in the world combined last year. That’s according to a new survey by the San Francisco-based think tank Global Energy Monitor (GEM) and the independent organisation Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), which suggests China commissioned 38.4GW of new coal plants last year. That translates to more than one large coal plant every week.
“The research, which surveyed global coal-fired units through to 31st December, also shows 73GW of new coal power projects started in China, which is five times as much as in all other countries. The report demonstrates Chinaʼs coal fleet grew by 29.8GW in 2020, while in the rest of the world’s net capacity decreased by 17.2GW. In addition, China was home to 85% of the 87.4GW of proposed new global coal-fired capacity in 2020.”
Trait0r J03’s “administration” can’t even explain what day it is, and even if they could, they wouldn’t out of spite.
This is some sick, sick Schiff, which reveals the socialist heart of darkness and why, if you play fair with them, they don’t reciprocate but perceive it as weakness to further exploit. Remember school criticizing socialism at a private east cooast grad school because if socialists can criticize traditional society, then it must be okay to criticize socialism, correct? Wrong! Socialists can criticize, but socialism cannot be criticized! Received the full blast antipathy of a tenured faculty who called me “repugnant,” “cowardly,” and threw me out! At the next school, a teacher asked, “What are you doing here?” I explained and said I wrote a paper. He wanted to see it. After reading it, he said, “It had its problems, but you’d have to be pretty low to give a first year student a B on a paper like this.” I said, “B? He gave it an F!” Then I showed the prof the nine pages of single-spaced criticism the socialist professor wrote. He was agog, aghast, and amazed! He had never seen such a thing! He apologized on behalf of academia for the professor’s behavior, which helped — a little. Tell this story because it revealed to me the true nature of socialism in America, something which most naive Americans have not experienced and cannot believe. They are finding out fast.
What infernal serpent
Has lent Biden his forked tongue?
From what pit of foul deceit
Has all his hiding and all his whoppers sprung?
The prob I see is the Uniparty controllers aren’t necessarily onboard: they need the economy to continue and not collapse. They’re using Manchin and Sinema (sp ?) to stop the outright destruction of the economy knowing that they let Biden and crew get away with fraud in 2020 to rid themselves of Trump.
The only downfall with a Manchin 2024 Uniparty choice is the Kamala problem. If the O crew tanks Joe in order to place Kamala at the top, then how is the Uniparty gonna thwart the first female (and black) President from running? She’ll get trampled without the fraud in the voting bill and Trump will crush her. They might be able to do the normal fraud to put Manchin over the finish line, but probably not.
If O goes with Kamala, when will the commies put that in motion?
The far left and Democrat party (but I repeat myself) are driven by violence hatred conformity hypocrisy jealousy pessimism tyranny and group think.
What a lovely inspiring bunch of people sarc. They all hate themselves.
I think we should divide the US and let these lunatics stew in their own juices. There really is no living with them and they are getting worse. Florida here I come.
Merry Christmas!!
Keep coming back to the Judgement of King Solomon and the two women fighting over the baby, which is analogous to two parties fighting over a nation. One wants to protect the nation, and the other wants to destroy it. King Solomon — that is, the American people — can differentiate between the two parties, and there choice certainly ain’t Trait0r J03! But how to make the decision stick after the globalists and socialists corrupted elections?
FJB – the angry Democommunist
It is time that the White House understands that, despite the installation of an unelected representative, they are servants of the people. And it is time that the people let that be known to them.
80,000 new IRS Agents and not one will be investigating the rich. Prepare Folks, it’s coming with no lube!!!!
Sans lube?
By the way, I heard a very interesting interview today with Dr. Chris Martenson regarding ‘build back better’. He explained that the current financial system, and the immense debt that it holds, is practically impossible to ‘repair’. The idea of ‘build back better’ is the total destruction of the financial system as we know it, due to that continuing and unworkable debt (and listen to Catherine Austin Fitts, with regard to how our finances will be taken out of local institutions). Martenson’s info was basically that the globalists and bankers have, through the increasing debt that they have caused which, he suspects is actually over $200 trillion worldwide, totally broken that financial system beyond repair.
Curious Cat wants to know: How would Psaki or Brandon recognize “honoring prior commitments and being true to one’s word”, since such concepts are entirely alien to today’s Democrat Party?
Feels like kabuki theater in order to convince us Congress still functions. I’ll love to be wrong.
Will Manchin be Swift Menendez’d?
I still don’t trust Manchin, he has a history of weazling the weasel.
Nice family coal business you got there Joe. Be ashame if it got EPA ruled out of business.
The last paragraph, “ to combat climate change “ is the real intent of this monstrosity. This is where the real power lies to transform this country and entrench bureaucratic totalitarian control over all aspects of our lives. The other parts of the bill are window dressing and distractions.
Mancin should switch Parties immediately… It would put the stake in Bidens administration once and forever. I also think it would cast a shadow of intolerance on the Obama driven, disingenuous, Socialist left…
They got no leverage on Manchin. Capito-Moore won her Senate seat with over 70 percent of the vote. WV is full on Republican. Manchin is THE ONLY Democrat that could win the Senate in that state. The chances of the DNC primarying him and keeping the seat are zero.
So he can tell Joe to go soak his head. He’s doing what he has to to stay in the Senate in that state.
Is Manchin’s use of Fox News to let his constituents know his decision on the BBB bill, as well as the opening salvo of his 2024 Presidential bid, also sending a direct message to the WH and the woke left to shove off, leave him alone, since the world knows what the woke thinks of Fox?
He is a liar and a deceiver! So is Joe Biden.
Manchin needs to watch his back. We all know what they do to people they don’t like.
My first thought was he got a call from 45. Vote Yes, WV MAGAs oust him. Vote No, Ds oust him, he dumps the D title, switches parties and runs for re-election in ’24 as an R when 45 is re-elected. Either way I don’t trust him.
Good point, he does hold the power. He could just say f-u, I’m going to the R party. That’s the real power right now.
I have a feeling that China Joe will go so BESEK Tuesday night that his blood vessels will explode on national TV. Who the hell cares what this IDIOT says any more. Anyway, I live in Florida so Gov. Ron D will say FU to China Joe.
I think they would rather have his support for the federal election takeover bill in compromise ; )
The only reason Manchin is so highly regarded is because this vote is straight majority, and the voting rights bill still has the filibuster. Thank you McConnell 👎
