Manchin Didn’t Get Even One Republican For His Compromise ‘Bipartisan’ Voting Bill
No, really, Joe, how are you feeling today? Maybe a little embarrassed? Or, maybe a little exposed – ya know, for once again shown to be the huckster* and blowhard* and hypocrite* that you are.
*HUCKSTER: Someone who sells or advertises something in an aggressive, dishonest, or annoying way.
*BLOWHARD: 1) A very boastful and talkative person; a braggart. 2) A self-important egomaniac who likes to toot his own horn.
*HYPOCRITE: A person who claims or pretends to have certain beliefs about what is right but who behaves in a way that disagrees with those beliefs

Another DINO Manchin Self-Own

But, He Is Making A Lot Of Money Off Them
When asked by a CNN reporter to respond to Senator Bernie Sanders accusing him of holding up the Biden agenda, Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia said:
“No, no. There’s 52 senators who don’t agree, okay. And there’s two that want to work something out if possible in a most rational reasonable way”.
No, no, Senator Manchin. While you are a right-wing coal millionaire, you are a registered Democrat and you do represent West Virginia as a Democratic senator. You, along with that batshit crazy Senator from Arizona Kyrsten Sinema, are two of 50 senators that sit with Democrats and are the only two Democrats trying so fuking hard to kill the Biden agenda.
FYI, Senator Manchin, the other 50 senators that currently make up the United States Senate are Republicans.
As made clear yesterday by John Amato at Crooks and Liars:
Doesn’t Manchin understand that if he destroys these two major pieces of legislation he and Kyrsten Sinema will have no power at all when they help lose control of the Senate in 2022? Are they practicing for that time?

Joe Manchin illustrates that the real division in American politics is no longer left versus right, conservative versus liberal, even Democrat versus Republican. The real division is democracy versus the moneyed interests.

POS DINO Manchin – The Senator Who Doesn’t Give A Fuck About Anyone But Himself, And His Corporate Sponsors
After months of negotiations, after months of promising he was negotiating in good faith, coal multi-millionaire Senator Joe Manchin now says he will vote NO on the Build Back Better Act. The Corporate-Democrat of West Virginia made the announcement Sunday on Fox News.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki responded on Sunday afternoon saying Manchin’s comments were “at odds” with what he has said to administration officials and that the White House believed Manchin had been working in “good faith” to reach an agreement.
“If his comments on Fox and written statement indicate an end to that effort, they represent a sudden and inexplicable reversal in his position, and a breach of his commitments to the President and the Senator’s colleagues in the House and Senate. Just as Senator Manchin reversed his position on Build Back Better this morning, we will continue to press him to see if he will reverse his position yet again, to honor his prior commitments and be true to his word”.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, voted for the infrastructure bill with the understanding that Manchin would get to “yes” in talks with Biden; She was not happy on Sunday:
“Today, Senator Manchin has betrayed his commitment not only to the President and Democrats in Congress but most importantly, to the American people. He routinely touts that he is a man of his word, but he can no longer say that. West Virginians, and the country, see clearly who he is”.

Corporate donations to Sen. Joe Manchin’s PAC surged as he fought President Biden’s agenda
West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin’s political action committee saw a surge in corporate contributions this fall, ahead of his decision to oppose – and apparently kill – President Joe Biden’s $1.75 trillion social safety net and climate-change bill.
Manchin’s leadership PAC, Country Roads, received 17 contributions from corporations in October and 19 last month, according to a CNBC analysis of Federal Election Commission filings. None of the four months prior to October saw as many corporate contributions.
