Schumer hits Manchin for failing to support Build Back Better, maintains Democrats will 'find a way forward'
Fox News ^ | 12/20/2022 | Brooke Singman

Posted on 12/20/2021 6:21:44 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told Democratic colleagues Monday that this legislative session has led to moments of "deep discontent and frustration" as the Build Back Better Act hangs in limbo, blaming Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., for not coming "to an agreement" with President Biden, while maintaining that the caucus will continue to "try to find a way forward" on the president’s economic agenda.

In a letter to Democratic colleagues Monday morning, Schumer, D-N.Y., reflected on the first session of the 117th Congress — which he pointed out "began with Republicans in the majority but quickly switched to Democratic control by the slimmest margins and has become the longest 50-50 Senate in history."

That’s exactly what I’m asking? Has Trump already killed her political career by endorsing and working for and probably getting cash to her primary challenger? If she thinks so, this particular Judas becomes incredibly dangerous.

I trust the younger tax paying voters realize they will be paying for this for the rest of their lives. This will increase the reliance on the government rather than working.

Meaning they will find a way to punish him

Not that dems possess critical thinking skills, but attempting to punish Manchin to harshly will drive him out of their camp. He can always go indie and caucus with the GOP.

Sounds like a threat to me. They're almost forcing him to leave the party.

I suppose he would go Independent though so they don't fight over his body.

The only way forward for the dems is to lie and cheat an steal. Next year is an election year, with a demented lame duck President I can’t imagine too many folks up for re-election want to go out on a limb for this already failed Presidency.

<< Thank God Manchin stood up to Democrat commies >>

Yup. Did Sinema oppose it as well, or just Manchin? She seems to be avoiding the Rats’ wrath.

We need to work on Tester then. He’s a quieter version of Manchin.

It AMAZES me how Schumer AND McConnell, with smiles on their faces, consistently, year after year, do the OPPOSITE of what is good for this country.

I consider them both anti-patriots. Only when they are both no longer in office can the rest of us START to even consider that we have turned the corner on the mayhem and ANTI COUNTRY federal legislature we’ve had of recent years.

CONGRESS has done more harm to America than all the wars combined. MAYBE we should elect a virtual dictator that serves for 2 years and can be recalled. Disband Congress and rent out all the office space and apply the income to the national debt.

This is silly. All thry need is one Repuke. I’m not sure why they aren’t just trying to massage the Alaskan or the ever reliable Collins or Mitt. Same problem the Repukes have, they don’t even pretend to have another 50 people to swing a deal with.

Biden, Harris, and Biden’s programs have very low popularity with the public.
Most “centrist” politicians are smart enough to know this is toxic stuff.

That would be career ending. Only a handful would be in that category and I don't think the usual suspects are that stupid to vote against their constituents.

Chuck U is a vile monster, attacking a man who is simply a weak, vacillating goof.

More like. “Hey Murkowski? How would you like a nice retirement plan with a beach house in Florida next to Nancy and a cabana boy to luffa your stretch marks?”

I cannot believe Tester is still representing the great state of Montana. He’s a snake, a stupid snake.

Bribing a RINO Senator doesn’t take much effort. Coming to a theatre near you soon.
