The problem with good ideas is once they are fielded you cannot get them back in the bag, and thus Manchin is fighting a losing game, but as long as he gets attention, it's a win for him, personally.
I don't understand how one can drive through West Virginia and not want to help. But that Byrd highway sure is awesome way to drive past all the failed places.
You are inherently correct - they can plead the fifth if they believe that they have acted in a criminal fashion and would be incriminating themselves - they cannot do it to hide anyone's criminal actions - they also can hav ethe fact that they pleaded the fifth used against them as an adverse inference
These two are loving the power they have to yank chains on any whim that might cross their minds. And they love raking in the cash that is filling their coffers. Hopefully the damage they are doing, at a time when we really need to be make leaps to repair the country, will come back to haunt them.
All that to say FU Man Chin and Kyrsten Cinema are voting no. Period. Tell me something I didn't already know, or couldn't guess with three chances.
It's long past time for Schumer et al to tell this obstructionist media-whores to piss or get off the pot; and knowing they'll do neither, they should be kicked out of the DP Senate Caucus. These bills are going to be compromised to death, if they pass at all; and should they pass in their watered-down-to-nothing form, the GOP's going to demagogue them right through election day as commie-fascist-nazi-socialism stealing YOUR FREEDUMZ!!!
The better strategy is to let Chin-Sin vote with the GOP, and then spend the next 11 months demagoguing the GOP for hating America and 90% of us who live here. The time for compromise is long past. One has only to see what's become of the DP/DNC since Clinton built his legacy on doing more to repudiate the legacy of FDR and dismantling the New Deal in eight years than the GOP could manage in the preceding 48 years.
LMAO- you mean the progressives who have voted on this bill and negotiated in good faith since the beginning? Right, keep blaming progressives for moderate bullshit.
They know who they are!
Ok, I meant Manchin and Sinema, with their backup chorus of GOP moderates.

They only need it to last until they are on their deathbed.
Irony, eh?

They have their own trumbril.
He seems kind of squirrelly.
Fuck those fucking prevaricating assholes. I hope they fucking ____ _____ _______ forever!

Maybe it's time to grant DC the State status?
I wish I shared your BBB outlook. I don’t believe Manchinema will ever vote for it.
Her plan is to run as an independent and split the vote. She honestly believes Democrats are worse than Republicans.
Never trust a centrist. 👎
