Democrat Senator Joe Manchin wears the purple tie today as he answers questions from the DC legislative narrative engineers. There are two videos below. The first is a general presser with multiple members of the DC media (print journos) about the Green New Deal energy bill he negotiated with Senator Chuck Schumer. The second video is an interview between Manchin and Fox News host Harris Faulkner.
Unfortunately, in both the presser and the direct interview no one pins Manchin down on where “expanded energy production” of the bill is located. Manchin claims there is legislative language in the deal that supports the fast domestic production of oil, coal and natural gas to meet the immediate issue of skyrocketing energy prices. However, Manchin is a smooth operator, and he states confidence that rapid and expanded development of oil, coal and gas is part of the deal. WATCH:
Here’s the segment with Harris Faulkner trying to pin him down on tax increases, energy production, inflation and the 2024 election.

Crook
Howdy, Frank!! Worse than that, I think.
When your degree is in backstabbing, corkscrewing and dirty dealing it equals Manchin.
Right, Patrick. In fact I do believe those are the prerequisites for anyone who aspires to a place where these qualities are put to devastating use everyday…on the people who elected them.
Here is the real deal though. He has eyes on the 2024 Presidential run and if this deal does not come through he is done. He will not be able to take that yoke off his neck after he screwed the majority of Americans.
There are NO moderate Democrats. Manchin, if elected to the presidency, would be just as bad as the Squad & Bernie, except he’d make sure fossil fuels were OK in WV.
BTW Manchin, if you’re relying on Chuck the Schmuck to come thru on what he promised, Pelosi is going to tell Chuck absolutely not.
Absolutely 100% …. there is no such thing as a moderate Democrat.
Smooth Operator…..
.
….Oozing charm from every pore, he oiled his way across the floor…
Good song.
I believe a more appropriat song for Manchin is AC-DC dirty deeds
He’s as slick as soap grease. If the Uniparty ever needs a member to serve as an archetype, Manchin is the one.
slippery’er than snake snot —– unknown
Crook is shorter than spelling Democrat.
I remember as a kid, having done something wrong, it was time for a spanking. As I lay on my father’s knee he said to me “this is going to hurt me more than you.”
I looked up at him and said “then, let’s trade places!” Manchin says in effect “this is about what I can do for our country” which reminds me of those lottery tickets “it’s for the children.”
As a kid when I visited my grandparents farm in North Dakota one of the chores I had was to clean out the barn after the cows had been milked.
Manchin belongs in that barn, on the floor next to the residue the cows left behind as they went to pasture, to be pitch forked out by those who have such responsibilities. He does not fool me one bit!
I watched the Harris Faulkner interview. It got heated, but regardless how stupid he looked, (facial expressions and sweat speak volumes sometimes), and how many attempts she made to pin him down, he was slippier than a can of wd40.
No need to ask, he’s a smooth operator.
How Low Will You Go Joe!
However low he has to go to keep his daughter’s EpiPen deal.
That purple tie really must mean what we think it means. I find it remarkable that it genuinely pops up at exactly these junctures.
Who will hold his feet to the fire?
Would that be the purple tie of a two-faced hypocrite traitor?
I think the ropes for the lamppost will have to be purple.
I’d prefer it if they would just say F U, but even the worst totalitarians lie. It’s just easier to control people.

Here are the graduates of Bkackstone CEO Steve Schwartzmans academy
Didn’t catch /haven’t seen either of the Fox videos as I tend to refrain from all of their morning & daytime programming, but Sara Eisen did a decent job pressing him on several aspects of the proposed bill on CNBC ‘Closing Bell’.
He appeared to be caught a little off guard & uncomfortable by her questioning.
Sorry, not in a position to locate a link if someone else has the means.
We’re looking at 45’s opponent. He’s slick okay. He reminds me of a mobster. Yah. Now that the D’s ruined our economy and shut down oil, he’s the savior who’s going to do a pipeline in WVA? So they crashed and burned USA and now he’s stealing things 45 did and save the day? Those Dems are really slick. 81MM++++ by 2024 won’t fall for this shite.
America LAST …….. ‘President’ .. Biden sends Billions to Ukraine while Eastern Kentucky / West Virginia are flooded with people hurting !!!
Donations — see , God’s Pit Crew . com ….. or Mercy Chefs . com
They are good to go.
It’s great to donate but I am seriously tired of us having to donate to good causes while our taxes are used to fund everything I don’t agree with. Taxation without representation. Why can’t our taxes go to Tunnels to Towers, etc? We can’t funnel our money to taking care of our vets disabled in war? No, we have to fund displaced Ukrainians and illegal aliens. Subsidizing our own downfall. Corrupt
I understand Joe Mansion has done very well in life
President Trump Averts World War IIIBy Michael Baxter –
August 2, 2022
Of course Manchin is a smooth operator. His palms have been greased for a long time.
Manchin will vote for new gun ban , HR 1808 … with ‘ excuses ‘
His mantra: it’s no D, not R, it’s Red, White & Blue.
He’s running. Distancing himself from the Dems. Trying to be a patriot to pull from MAGA patriot votes.
He’s 2024 Dem candidate against 45.
He’s slick and sleazy.
Joe Manchin is now dead to me. He entered into a negotiation with progressives and he believes he came away a winner? The history of progressivism began under Woodrow Wilson and has not stopped. Today we are faced with one world politics: tyranny on a scale never seen before.
And Joe Manchin thinks he got the best of the Davos Crowd?
Idiot.
Joe Manchin has been dead to a lot of us after he was installed the first time.
“Joe Manchin is now dead to me.”
Yeah, but he is a democrat. He still votes.
It was only a matter of time, Jos, before Manchin showed his colors, once again. He was never the hero for stalling Biden’s Blah Blah Blah plan.
you know this question was coming; did the Nancy stunt today coincide with the BLS release? as in, Smokescreen for the bad news?
this has to be orchestrated…
i noticed there was a super hype thing, if not a viral thing playing out…
for sure, it is a crisis that cannot be recycled often.
Thanks to the sysops and mods stay cool and safe great job!
Lets put it this way…Joe is paid off by the Chinese. Nancy is paid off by the Chinese. Mitch McConnell and his handler…I mean wife… are paid off by the Chinese (is Mrs. McConnell a Taiwanese agent to Beijing?). IMO, half of the Taiwanese gubmint are paid off by the Chinese.
Mr. Pelosi’s hearing today was a MESS!!!!
So, which other side of the coin is there?
Writes Sundance: “Manchin claims there is legislative language in the deal that supports the fast domestic production of oil, coal and natural gas to meet the immediate issue of skyrocketing energy prices. However, Manchin is a smooth operator, and he states confidence that rapid and expanded development of oil, coal and gas is part of the deal.”
So what does the damned bill say? Have you read it? Has anyone?
C’mon man,…you KNOW they have to PASS the bill,…so they can THEN find out whats in it!
Funny, Lauren Boerbert just submitted a bill, to require a one week period after members recieve a bill, before they can vote on it.
This 5000 page pared down BBB bill, they had TWO HOURS to read it, and then vote.
Whats the funny part is a year ago AOC tried to get the SAME rule that LB is trying for, now.
So thats the definition of a PIPE DREAM. Got it!
Anyone who has ever smoked mj, crack or opium knows whatca “pipe dream” is,…
In this weeks episode of Fargo, the part of Jerry Lundegaard is played by Joe Manchin.
“Ma’am, I answered your question. I answered the darn – I’m cooperating here, and I…”

Senators have good conversations and do homework. That precious and now I feel better.
7.33 minutes of total BS. Sleazy.
Love that the U.S. Markets show the Dow falling $300+ and other in the red!
He says we’re (D’s) paying down the debt. He’s lying. Just read this today.
FTA: Congressional Budget Office warned that US federal debt is expected to rise 185% within the next 30 years. Total debt holdings could double the size of US GDP by 2051.No politician or spender of this debt cares as they have no intention of paying it off. The Congressional Budget Office is calling this an optimistic forecast, given the previous estimate of debt soaring to 202% of GDP by 2051. The fact of the matter is that no one can foresee how much money politicians will continue to spend. Servicing the debt will become more expensive over time, expected to reach 10% of GDP by 2051, 7.4% in 2042, and 5.1% in 2032.
Most do not realize that the national debt is already at monumental levels. US gross federal debt to GDP reached 100% by 2012. The ratio remained somewhat stagnant until capitalism became sick with COVID in 2020, and the GDP to debt ratio rose to 128.1%. The figure stood at 137.2% by December of 2021 and has continued to increase.
China no longer wants US debt and has begun to sell off its holdings. As other currencies decline relative to the dollar, US debt, and all government debt in general, no longer seems like a smart investment. We have reached a point where Congress can continue to pass bills and bribe voters with socialistic promises from their latest puppets because no one cares about the future of America. The US will be the last to fold but expect the inevitable as countries, city-states, and governments are all temporary in the eyes of father time.

Hi, MC!
Why should we, the US taxpayer, pay off any debt incurred by domestic and foreign criminals? I say…let’er rip!
Hey, WSB! Ha! No end in sight on the debt…that ceiling collapsed long ago.
His suit is too big. And why are all these clowns wearing purple ties all the time? It’s the latest fad in DC. Remember when it was green ties.
For what it is worth Joe Manchin operates a scrap,coal business where they supposedly collect scrap coal from various industries in West Virginia and has a contract to be the exclusive supplier to a single coal fired power plant who conveniently needs this scrap coal.
He doesn’t have a green bone in his body.
Scrap, trash coal useless to everyone else in the state where he most likely gets paid to remove and dispose of it for price and suddenly it is of value ,after he gets his hands in it, to a major purchaser .
That most fortunate of business connections has corruption written all over it.
It never ceases to amaze how many people continually fall for Manchin’s “Lucy vs Charlie Brown Football Shtick”.
Time and again Joe (Lucy) puts the football on the tee, with promises to keep it there. People who saw him remove the last time, swear that Joe M is serious “this time” while others are just too dumb to see it.
The ball gets moved, money gets pocketed and Joe gets elected again.
Joe M is angling for as many bobbles in WVa named after him as there are for his mentor and master grifter, the late Senator Robert Byrd.
I wonder if the energy promise (coal, oil, gas) is a ploy to bring Sinema along? They need her to or no deal.
She and Joe played their roles, letting filibuster rule recission be submitted, but voted down,…
THAT was the key goal.
They paired it with a bloated BBB bill, that would ALSO be shot down, as camafloge/distraction, and having accomplished that, they now submit a “paired down” BBB bill, that includes what they REALLY want.
My guess is that Synema (technically, she IS ‘MY Senator’) will vote FOR it.
Id like to know how growing the IRS brings down inflation. West Virginia please fire this a$$hole.
I am really beginning to dislike purple as a color.
I got a call today from a lady representing the Construction and Trade Unions of WV in support of the inflation lowering legislation spearheaded by Senator Manchin. I told her she is calling and lying to the citizens of WV because the bill will increase inflation. I explained that I have a MBA and an Economics degree. I asked her why she was calling me and lying.
She did not have an answer.
Well done.
Hey Joe, bend over and grab your ankles, Smuckie Chuckie got a surprise for ya!!!
“about the Green New Deal energy bill he [Manchin] negotiated with Senator Chuck Schumer”
Negotiated, schmegotiated . . . they are all “just following orders”
Manchin and Synema recently “played the role” usually played by Collins and Murkowski.
The LAST thing the Leadership (McConnell, McCarthy, Pelosi and Schumer) want is to repeal the fillibuster, as it is a major tool for protecting the R wing of the Uniparty from exposure.
But, for appearances sake they HAD to be seen “going for it” and ‘failing’ to get the votes, because of two ‘mavericks’ who voted against party lines.
The only thing worse, for the leadership, than having a R majority in the Senate, and no fillibuster rule to hide behind, is that situation AND PDJT in the Oval.
So, its just like when, in order to keep the appearance the R party is in opposition to the Dem party, and in the majority, the R’s advance legislation they don’t want to pass, and then they have Collins and Murkowski (or others) break ranks.
Its Kabuki theater, so they pushed both end fillibuster AND huge BBB bill, has Synema and Manchin oppose both, waited for us to forget, then revisit the bill they WANT (BBB) and make no mention or effort on ending fillibuster.
Its how they roll, and it only works if people aren’t paying attention.
As for Manchins assurance there are provisions for rapid development of oil, coal, etc.?
Biden could open the tap today, he doesn’t NEED no stinkin’ legislation!
Which right there, puts the lie to Manchins assertion, no need to read the bill, it ain’t THERE.
All Manchin did was signal he is for sale. More importantly, he set the line for what it will cost for him to vote to eliminate the filibuster as well. So when Dems get spanked (If Republicans don’t destroy their chances in November like they are doing now), expect a flurry of legislation after they kill the fillibuster. This country is screwed beyond repair.
SNAKE!
As a life long citizen of West Virginia, I can say “How Low Will You Go Joe” Manchin is a proven liar and a professional grifter. He has been supportive of this “green” 🤮 when he was Governor in WV. He was an Obama sycophant. While saying he was for coal energy and the coal miners that had good paying jobs, he was touting for that “green” 🐎💩. He was also touting himself as a staunch 2nd Amendment supporter. 🙄
While he was governor, he guided and signed a WV Cap and Trade bill known as the Alternative and Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard. The bill was originally introduced by Manchin in his 2009 State of the State Address. As a result, that was the end of the Democrat reign in WV. After the election in 2012, the Republican State Legislature repealed the WV Cap and Trade Bill over “senator” Manchin’s objections. https://cleantechlaw.com/2012/01/west-virginia-house-gop-to-fire-back-at-w-va-cap-and-trade-bill/
After Manchin had already signed a WV Cap and Trade law in 2010, being the liar and hypocrite Manchin really is, he ran ads in WV with him shooting Barack Obama’s “cap and trade” plan in 2012. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/joe-manchin-shoots-another-bill-in-new-campaign-ad/ As you can see in the video, Manchin did it again in 2018, this time shooting Obamacare with a shotgun. Now he want to increase subsidies for Obamacare in this sick, slick sellout bill.
Nevertheless, uninformed voters who bought the “good ole boy” nonsense, Manchin won over enough voters (many who now admit they are sorry for supporting him) to win his reelection bid against AG Morrisey by 3% points. A lot of “out of state” money, including Michael Bloomberg, ran ads and smeared Morrisey as an “out of state carpetbagger” at the time. Now, Morrisey’s Supreme Court’s recent win against the EPA which started during the Obama Administration, has proved them all wrong. Morrisey has been a decent AG fighting for the 2nd Amendment and against Federal government control.
Who is the real Joe Manchin, in case you really didn’t know watch this short ad video.
Manchin is scum and knows he is finished in West Virginia, thus all the Sunday Show blitz, interviews and dodging questions trying the same old “good old boy “no labels” crap. The “good ole boy” image has now been exposed as the fraud Manchin always has been.
BTW, I wont even get into his wife Gayle being appointed by Joe Stolen to the Appalachian Regional Commission or his Mylan pharmaceutical, epi pen disaster daughter, Heather Bresch or her WVU degree scandal.
3% sounds like Dominion machines.
How does an extremely red state keep voting in a Dem sellout?
ESS Machines. https://100percentfedup.com/voting-machine-maker-ess-confirms-they-sold-wireless-modems-to-11-states-website-claims-zero-voting-tabulators-were-internet-connected/
Like I said, I don’t think Manchin can get re-elected in WV. The only reason he got re-elected in 2018 was because out of state money PAC’s, and union PAC’s spending money for ads smearing Attorney General Patrick Morrisey as an “Out of State” Carpetbagger.
Morrisey moved to WV from New Jersey in 2006 and won the Attorney General position 6 years later in 2012 as a Republican. A lot of uninformed voters, especially in the Northern half of West Virginia where Manchin had a efficient political machine established, believe the smear ads and suspected that Morrisey was a “out of state” political carpetbagger. Many people believed that Joe Manchin was a “good ole boy”, even after the above-mentioned 💩 he had pulled on West Virginians.
Since that time, I have listened to many call ins on Statewide radio programs who admitted to voting for Joe Manchin in 2018, who were sorry, disappointed and angry that Manchin keeps selling them out and would never vote for him again This latest Schumer scumbag, sellout move by this liar, along with the other corrupt things he and his family have pulled, has finished him IMO. In 2020 he indicated that he “might” run for Governor, but his internal polls must have been so bad as he decided against it. I have heard that he will not run for re-election in 2024.
GOOD RIDDANCE! And take your good friend Sellyouout Moore Capito (RINOWV) with you Joe.
Morrisey is truly MAGA. He has done an outstanding job as AG. I met and talked to him after he was elected. When he arrived in Charleston, he upset everyone in that government. He made departments do what they were supposed to do by law but hadn’t been doing for years.
I’ve always wondered what kind of machine Manchin has in WV.
WVcoalman,
Thank you for that little history lesson on Joe Manchin. I too am a lifetime WV resident, 20+ years underground coal miner, 20+ years at a large manufacturing plant and witness to Joe’s career. Manchin is a fraud and hopefully one of the last Democrats that will ever be elected or installed in WV.
It’s amusing to watch citizens across our country get to know Joe!
I was an underground coal miner close to 20 years also along with finishing up with a career as an Operating Engineer in the building and trades. I am proud to say I have never voted for this jackass fraud Manchin, even when he was Secretary of State. I guess we know this Manchin scum along with his good friend and political partner in the Moore/Capito machine better than most. The rest of the country is just finding out what a piece of 💩 old “moderate” Joe is. 😁
Just more smoke and mirrors. Our entire government is just smoke and mirrors.
First, the Biden Administration shuts off the oil production by shutting down pipeline construction and with drawing leases. Now we have Joe Manchin promising, more gas and more oil if they are allowed to raise the price for it at the pump by charging main street companies with a 15% surcharge. And, he didn’t even feel the need to say how much oil would the middle class actually see at the pump and for how long. Knowing full well that more oil and gas means more food being produced from farms. Folks, this is just straight-up black mail! Pay us more, and we are willing to turn on the Spicket, for now!
Did President Trump want 15% for far lower gas prices? Then why does Joe Manchin want it for far higher gas prices?
Yes, Joe we know that when the SPR is gone, the gas prices will be higher than ever!
So I keep reading that the Democrats are fast tracking this bill and daring Krysten Sinema to vote no……. but nobody is mentioning that Patrick Leahy is up in Vermont with a broken hip…… so where do they get their 50 votes from???
He’s not up for re-election. No shirt off his back. Deception in process.
Sure Joey a sucker born every minute. You’re a slick car salesman and energy production will start when we pay down the debt.
What do they have on Joe Manchin? He fell for the Wimpy hamburger ploy. I will pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. In this case, he’s expecting a kickback for his state from Chuck U for his vote today. Like that is going to happen.
Manchin is pretty slippery, I would never consider buying a used car from him.
He’a a lying scumbag.
Manchin is such a phony.
Who is he kidding?
He was holding out for more money. Now they’ll do the same thing with Sinema.
You don’t get to be an important senator without knowing how to line your pockets.
I read somewhere the other day that Gates helped twist Manchin’s arm on this deal. Another offshore account somewhere?
The purple tie. The 21st century edition of the ‘secret handshake’. That he wears that tie specifically, while answering questions, is really all you need to know about his motives.
It’s a shame Manchin is on the wrong team.
But maybe it’s a blessing?
Who will lead the Democratic Party in 10 years? Not Pelosi, Biden, Schumer or how many others are over age 70?
