How is it Manchin's fault as opposed to the parents who birthed them?

There's a lot of poor people in W. Viginia, its the poorest state of the union. He lives like a king and his paupers are eat the bread.

That doesn't answer my question.

This makes no sense! ("are eat the bread"?).

The vaccines are a disaster and the disaster will be slow-rolling. They are frantically, almost maniacally trying to blame the unvaccinated.

It's barely working now. It certainly isn't working very well when you see Cory Booker and E. Warren vaxxed AND boosted and having "breakthrough" infections. This is not an outlier, btw. This is what happens with really bad vaccines. They make you MORE susceptible to the virus.

But like all horrid losers, rather than say, we messed up...they'll blame those who did not take part. It won't work. But let them find that out, the hard way.

Within the last week I’ve learned about five different people (from 5 different families) who have tested positive for COVID-19. All 5 were jabbed last year with a recent “booster”. The most ironic part? One of the five people is the person who called me early last spring about the need to rush out and get vaccinated! That family believes the government would never lie and knows what’s best for the commoners. This family has high-skilled jobs; I don’t get it. The only thing that makes any sense is they’re gullible, if the government says something it’s gospel. Smart people acting dumber than turkeys can still be led around by the nose.

A democrat senator that used common sense and the left is crucifying him.
It really does paint a picture on where the democrats are today.
Perhaps in the future they should change the party name to the Democratic Socialists of America,
or maybe the People's Republic of America.

Indeed. If any poster doubts that Manchin did what his constituents wanted him to do, they need to read up about West Virginia. The state is tied to oil and coal and he placed his voters’ needs above the Democratic agenda. Manchin was very specific about the parts of BBB he opposed, yet they misjudged his rhetoric to be just that and expected him to cave.

Isn’t a state senator supposed to put their state’s concerns above say, the needs of California or any other state? Manchin did exactly that and likely helped himself as well.

One step away from making the Sleepy joe a lame duck.

There are a lot of poor people in New York, where AOC lives. There are a lot of poor people in Minnesota where Ilhan Omar lives.

What's your point, hypocrite?

Manchin Didn’t Just Shiv Biden’s Agenda, He Whacked Biden’s Central Campaign Promise Too

If anyone should understand Joe Manchin’s motives for screwing average Americans, the environment, and our democracy itself, it should be “Status Quo Joe” Biden. Manchin’s political decisions, aside from being self-serving, are dictated by his true constituents. No, not the voters back home, his duty is to his high-powered political contributors.

Like the vast majority of Senate members, regardless of party affiliation, the needs of the folks back home are rarely a priority, except those folks back home that head major corporations or whose personal wealth is in the ten-figure range... or larger.

Biden is no stranger to opposing bills to aid working families, the poor, the elderly, etc., he spent his career in the Senate serving the same “constituency” as Joe Manchin. As was stated by AOC, Manchin’s plans to kill legislation beneficial to average Americans was clear months ago. So no one aware of Manchin’s personal business holdings and where he placed his political loyalties should be surprised by anything Manchin says or does.

GOP leaders should thank Manchin publicly for his consistent opposition, since he was able to do what Mitch McConnell could not.

Joe secure his re-election…in his representation of the people of WV he helped save the Republic from falling off a cliff

I suspect he’ll be canceled by the dnc and the xiden doj will go after him in the near future

I HAD TO LAUGH--- clicking through the channels hitting all of the networks during news hour, there were only two consternations by the MSM:

1. JOE MANCHIN. You would think he had just been caught stealing top secret papers to give to the Russians! After YEARS of the Left harping about how anyone who went along with one of Trump's agendas or mandates to make America stronger were a brainwashed buffoon, they were all denouncing Manchin now as a TURNCOAT, DISLOYAL to Biddum in the WH! How dare he actually think for himself and vote against what is essentially the most massive spending bill in all of history, mostly just a huge give-back and reward of pork to people who have loyally supported the democrat party!
2. OMICRON: Despite the fact that omicron appears much more survivable, overlooking the fact that had Joe simply cut off all travel in and out of the country for a few weeks it couldn't even be here, despite the fact that overnight it appeared in something like 27 states, even as they admit that to this point ONLY ONE PERSON HAS DIED FROM IT, they were gritting their teeth, locking the doors, and pulling down the shades hunkering in for the next Covid onslaught like it was as inevitable as the sunrise. Funny they don't blame Joe for any of this at all like they did Trump even as they now admit that MORE people have died of Covid this year under Biddum than ever did under Trump!!! But under Biddum now, it is treated just like a bought of BAD WEATHER.

----- just one of those things.

One might say he whacked Joe in the Pee-Pee.

In recent months, Manchin has told several of his fellow Democrats that he thought parents would waste monthly child tax credit payments on drugs instead of providing for their children, according to two sources familiar with the senator’s comments.

Manchin’s private comments shocked several senators, who saw it as an unfair assault on his own constituents and those struggling to raise children in poverty.

[Smokin' OP]

if i could get someone who speaks the language of the fucktarded to translate this, i'd appreciate it.

now - based on the topic at hand and your continued one track GOP BAD pony, why do you refuse to look at both sides with a critical eye? when you do nothing but attack all one side does and defend all your side does, you lose any credibility you could ever hope to dream of having.

Right moron.

manchin is fighting for in most respects who we used to be. back when we had issues but talked through them. back when compromise wasn't such a nasty word. he realizes you can't run roughshod over the other side and call "US" a country. we can't keep blindly pushing one side for the only reason it isn't the other. the house of cards is missing the foundation at this point and is like wile e coyote in the air about to fall. you seem cool with it as long as you get what YOU want. screw the rest of the country as they are evil for daring to be against you.

'Roughshod'
That's what the GQP has been doing.
They wont even pay for their debt, they accrued when Trump was in office.

Trump shut down the government for 35 days because of his vanity wall, something Trump promised Mexico was paying for.

Trump remarked, "I am proud to shut down the government for border security ... I will be the one to shut [the government] down. I'm not going to blame you for it ... I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down."

Trump then steals $2.5 billion from the pentagon for his vanity wall.

you and far too many like you don't want to speak to the issues and work on common solutions, you seem to simply get up for 1 purpose and that is to be an idiot.

WTF? Not one GQP nut voted for the bill that would help their constituents.
Seems Manchin needs it most.

Rank	State	Population	Median Income
1	Mississippi	2,984,418	$45,081
2	West Virginia	1,817,305	$46,711
3	New Mexico	2,092,454	$49,754
4	Louisiana	4,664,362	$49,469

congrats. you're definitely one of the best in that regard.

Sure moron.
That's all the GQP does is obstruct, they've doing that decades,
Then when they get home to their constituents, brag about all the $$$, that they brought into their district.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., said it pained her to vote against the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.

But in the weeks that followed, the first-term Republican issued a news release celebrating more than $3.7 million from the package that went to community health centers in her district as one of her “achievements.” She said she prided herself on “bringing federal funding to the district and back into the pockets of taxpayers.”

GOP lawmakers have been especially bullish about promoting the rescue plan’s Restaurant Revitalization Fund, which devoted $28.6 billion to the struggling industry. Applications for the program opened this week.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., topped a group of at least eight Republicans who have encouraged constituents to apply in recent days. The others included Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., and Reps. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y.; Greg Pence, R-Ind.; Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Wash.; Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas; Troy Balderson, R-Ohio; and Anthony Gonzalez, R-Ohio.

Every single one voted against it.

Beyond funding for restaurants, Republicans have also touted millions of dollars in health care grants allocated to their districts in the latest stimulus plan.

Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., in late March pointed to millions of dollars in such grants on social media, saying he was “proud” to see the taxpayer dollars returning to his district.

Cawthorne voted against it.

Rep. Alex Mooney, R-W.Va., issued a news release at roughly the same time to promote more than $41 million spread across 12 health care centers in his district.

“I am glad that this funding has been secured,” he said, neglecting to mention how it was secured.

'Party before country', it's in the GQP, DNA.

 

[Smokin' OP]

I thought the infrastructure Bill already passed, did I miss something?

No, you didn't.
I shouldn't have included those points in my comment.
