Manchin: Nothing new on BBB ... or the filibuster either
Hot Air ^ | January 4, 2022 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 01/04/2022 9:47:50 AM PST by PJ-Comix

The latest proclamation from King Joe runs counter to the buzz promoted by the media. Supposedly, Joe Manchin had returned to negotiations on Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan, and might even have signaled a willingness to do a nuclear-option carve-out on the filibuster for the election-federalizing SB1.

Not so fast, Manchin said a few minutes ago. First, no one’s changed positions at all on BBB and there haven’t been any new talks so far:

So it looks like the reports about Manchin maybe considering Build Back Broke and doing the nuclear option was just nothing but what the media would HOPE he would do. Poor little Manu Raju hardest hit.

Yeah, it was all BS from Axios’ “unnamed sources.”

Stay tuned. Many threads on this site contain many opinions that Joe M. Will eventually cave in. Stay tuned.

He’s a Democrat that keeps Schumer in charge of the Senate. No reason to trust him.

This stiff is one of the biggest frauds in DeeCee. Biden will meet his price and our great grandkids will pay for it.

If that would have happened it would have already happened. It didn't and the heart of Manu Raju is broken. In fact, if you want to know how firm Manchin is on this just look at the face of Manu Raju. If Manu Raju looks as if he is about to cry, that means Manchin is NOT shifting his position. And Manu Raju looks about to break into tears.

What about Kristen Sinema? Do protesters still confront her in the ladies room? Or is she on board with all this Build Back Business?

“...and there haven’t been any new talks so far...”

So far. There’s a long way to go until November.

“The 2021 Joe is the 2022 Joe ...”

Then it’s game over for the Dems, if that’s true.

It was nothing yet the negative Nancy’s in here pounced on it without any confirmation. Like always.

They might end up just passing a very very small sliver of Build Back Broke, like just $50 billion worth, and declare "victory" although it would mightily piss off Bernie. But as to breaking the filibuster... NAW!

They have to pass the "Democrats control the National elections forever" bill to have a good chance.

With it, they can create all kinds of fraud, just like in 2020.

But they have to pass it in time for it to take effect before the mid-terms. The closer they get to the mid-terms in 2022, the harder it gets to pass it.

That’s because Manchin will cave in. He always does. Just as soon as he gets his cut. He learned that from Biden.
