Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has reportedly resumed negotiations with the White House on President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda after essentially torpedoing it before the Christmas break.
According to Axios, sources confirmed that the senator has reportedly engaged with the White House “on the climate and child care provisions” in the president’s signature piece of legislation “if the White House removes the enhanced child tax credit from the $1.75 trillion package — or dramatically lowers the income caps for eligible families.”

Yup, as predicted.
Indeed.
I saw this coming. Manchin can NOT be trusted by our side.
He probably did or close enough to it. Some members of Free Republic consider him to be the savior of the Nation.
Effin two headed snake! Never ever trust this POS! I
Proving once again that he would make a good RINO.
Let’s just hope this story is not true. Hopefully he realizes without coal his state is sunk. Maybe, maybe not.
That he was a Democrat was all you needed to know.
Rose, all you need to know is that he is a Democrat. If you trust him after that, you deserve what you get.
I’ve seen a lot of chickens prematurely counted on this around here. We all know what he is. They’re just negotiating the price.
Predictable.
Get the ads running in WV: “Is Manchin now willing to sell us out?”
*** check amount he wanted ***
Or a dead horse head at the top of his Christmas tree.
SICK!
They already hired 87,000 gestapo agents. Washington lobbyists write these bills. Passage has already been bought. It’s a matter of a few signing bonuses.
“He finally got the check amount he wanted”
His last vote got his wife a cushy federal job.
“Hopefully he realizes without coal his state is sunk”
His coal union votes democrat and will be promised retraining and good jobs.
He was always going to negotiate. The problem for the Dems is that it was felt that the deal on the table was as far as the House left wing was going to go before they would not vote for it.
Sooooo, you get Manchin with concessions. But you lose the AOC crowd. Otherwise, the Dems would not have thrown the fit that they did when he torpedoed it before the New Year. They knew that unless he accepted their version it would be an impossible sell on the other side.
