Re: JOE MANCHIN
Lol serious anger issues are your specialty. Recall a few months ago when you posted multiple profanity laced posts directed to members here but of course you deleted them.
I’m done responding to you .

Always picking fights, then playing a victim (because Catholic). Comments such as "calm down", "take a break" are so typically passive aggressive of Sur. I wish he would stop.

Re: JOE MANCHIN
I believe they were directed at me. Because (1) I am a female and therefore perceived as weak and (2) I dared to suggest that women withhold sex as a strategy if the male-dominated Republicans ban abortion. He told me that I was stupid and to "fuck off" and told me that I hated "the dong." It was an extremely weird and hostile response.

Well yeah but what is your position on the dinar?
Re: JOE MANCHIN
I like diners. I like the booths, and the pickles that come with the sandwiches.
I'm from New Jersey originally, where there are lots of diners.

Just caught up with Manchin, who set a very high bar for passing 'chunks' of Build Back Better plan.
In short, he wants to see inflation, covid and the national debt dealt with first.
Also said they'll be 'starting from scratch' and his December offer isn't on table

"The main thing we need to do is take care of the inflation," Manchin said. "Get your financial house in order. Get a tax code that works and take care of the pharmaceuticals that are gouging the people with high prices. We can fix that. we can do a lot of good things."

This Joe Manchin wants to stop pharmaceutical companies from gouging people?

CNN —
West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin defended his daughter in an interview Tuesday after the pharmaceutical company she leads raised the price of EpiPens – a move that thrust the father-daughter pair into the center of the political debate over healthcare costs and drug prices.
Speaking to Bloomberg News, Manchin praised his daughter, Mylan CEO Heather Bresch, as “compassionate” and “generous.” The former West Virginia governor said that ever since Bresch has been at Mylan and he’s been in politics, “we made a point” to keep those parts of their lives separate.

Re: JOE MANCHIN
Joe Manchin hasn't shown that he can bring a single Republican to the table by being 'thoughtful' and 'deliberate', let alone 10 of them. This is what kills me; the dude keeps insisting that it's the rest of the Democratic Party's fault that not a single Republican wants to agree to anything.

Re: JOE MANCHIN
Well i haven't looked at this thread since my last post. It certainly was an experience. And and I will just say that the comments on me were inaccurate.
Anyway, Manchin is just throwing random excuses. If somehow bill were brought up to deal with his issues he would find another reason to Vote no. His real reasons are something else entirely. There was no way this was going to pass on his watch, no matter who was persuading this and what was being offered.
I have seen it said that the whole process of sausage making and legislative business is slow and ugly and messy and the problem is that it is too exposed to the demands of a daily news cycle with a Media desperate to have something to shout about. I actually agree with that. But I also think that I never saw a single sign he was going to change his mind, and his position has been largely unchanged for months.
Still at least they got two out of three pieces of major legislation passed. Sometimes you just have to take your victories, dust yourself off, and make sure this guy is irrelevant next congress.

Re: JOE MANCHIN
I have no clue if he will run again. Even if they primary him, in West Virginia I'm not sure another Democrat could win because it's become so red. The only real way to make Manchin irrelevant is to elect more Democrats to the Senate.

Re: JOE MANCHIN
Right now I would settle for the combination of getting a few other non-Rs in the Senate and cutting Manchin loose to grift corporatebux.
