"Why doesn't Biden show some brass and call him out?" The possibility of Manchin having a sudden come-to-Jesus moment has to be left open even if it is considered unlikely.

Well, especially not anything that would hurt the fossil fuel or pharmaceutical industries, but also no taxing of the rich to pay for anything, and no spending money that isn't paid for.

I think Manchin's bad faith was always a factor, but the real problem is what Josh at TPM noted: they hurt his fee fees but calling him out as a problem and not including Sinema. He overreacted, lost his ticket for attention and regulars in the Oval office, and now he is throwing a tantrum about the consequences of his first tantrum. Immature and not too bright. That's Senator Manchin.
