Factions negotiating over the massive reconciliation package traded blame for the drubbing even before the polls closed. By Wednesday, new fissures emerged as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) added four weeks of paid family leave to a bill even as Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), one of two moderates at the center of the negotiations, signaled he could not support such a provision.

That’s right.

Double down on what costs you votes.

That’s the ticket to taking our country back again.

Go for it dems. Show your true colors.

Pelosi doesn't care if the Dems lose the House and she loses The Speakership if by getting this bill passed she can enrich herself by a couple hundred million dollars. I mean, two hundred million is nothing in a $3.5 trillion budget, an accounting error no one will even notice. And her seat will be safe.

They had 2 years from installing Pudding Cup to get the US to capitulate to China. They have certainly been acting like they know the clock is running.

It’s a good thing that 2 holdouts in their own party are slowing them down. The Republicans (RINOS) have certainly been silent.

If this were WWII, it’s May 1943 (Nazis defeated in N Africa), and 1 year from now will be our Normandy, then on to DC (Berlin).

We are still stuck with Obamacare, thanks to McCain and other Bush League Republicans.
