Manchin signals he won't support filibuster carve-out for debt hike

[Desert Dog]

32. Part of the Plan

Mansion wants the Democrats to use the reconciliation up to solve the "crisis". Two birds - One stone for him. How about getting McConnell to STOP blocking it? Mansion is posturing like there is some negotiation for this. The GQP isn't asking for anything. They are just being petulant children and he is giving them cover.

The coal turd and his corporate senator with the curtsy are the worst freak'n negotiators on the planet! Why don't they just SHUT UP. Schumer cant even bluff this - if they keep running their mouths and doing op-eds.

I think both bills are effectively dead. After the economy takes a crap because of their malfeasance, Democrats should build one infrastructure bill with some perks and wrap it into the reconciliation bill. If the parliamentarian chokes on it, fire the person and move on. We need to start posturing on this immediately. Make the GOP and corporate Democrats go on record and VOTE against it. You can see GQP gearing up to run on "tax and spend" Democrats again.. Wrap this obstruction around their damn necks. Trillions in tax cuts for the rich, but NOTHING for the middle class.

If Mansion and Cinema only care about their infrastructure bill, then we need to kill it. Take it off the table. The long post by Senator F-Off was a tell. She was trying to get her way around the reconciliation bill, failed and threw a tantrum. She was going to have a celebratory rally with her corporate masters at the posh AZ resort and Joe/Progressives dashed her plans. She dreams of being this great bipartisan negotiator and she could not even persuade her own party. Did she even try? Seems like she just blew them off. KS is demented and i now fear she will never agree to anything. It is just a matter of time before her team starts floating leaks regarding her defection to the GOP. If Breyer gave more consideration to the country vs. his last chance grab at relevance, he would retire and we would get a sane justice in place asap. With Dem sh1t show in Senate and Cinema melt down, it would probably be easier to run away from "Dems control everything" fantasy. Cinema flakeing off to GQP could make the Senate apathy much clearer to the electorate. Would it help in individual races? Probably not, but it could help with national mood and turn out.
