Schumer bent Manchin over and….
L
What a tool Manchin turned out to be. Honestly, only stupid people believe liberals on anything.
I’m not entirely sure leaving this out is a “win” for the GOP.
I mean - Manchin deserved this failure. But I think overall it’s a loss for the US
The GOP is betting that blocking this bill will kibosh Manchin’s hopes for re-election and get energy prices to the point that Democrat 2024 prospects will evaporate.
Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) told reporters he wanted to see more muscular changes to the permitting process that would require the Biden administration to issue faster approvals for projects.
“I agree with Joe that there should be permitting improvements,” Rounds said, “but you want something that actually requires the administration to follow through.”
However, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), a friend of Manchin’s, said Republicans should recognize that another opportunity to enact permitting changes might not materialize for a while.
“Republicans have come together and said we need to advance permitting reforms,” she said. “If we have an opportunity to do it, let’s do it. Let’s not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.”]
“Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat who chairs the Senate Energy Committee, said the move would have serious and long-term consequences for American energy independence.”
If you really cared you woukdn’t be a democrat. FU.
LOVE to see that snake, Manchin, get some KARMA!!
How many more times will Schmucky Schumer sodomize Manchin before Manchin goes full postal?
Democrat leaders were hoping to include the legislation, which overhauls permitting regulations for oil and gas drilling, within the National Defense Authorization Act as a reward for Manchin’s support of President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.

Tell us again about “tribal” politics, Joe.
Actually we are paying the price for WV having sent Manchin to the Senate...and then keeping him there. When push comes to shove his “moderate” act is just an act. Leftist policies have been enacted due to his presence and he in the end is there on their side.
Now they don’t need him. If he truly believes the country is heading in the wrong direction as his rhetoric claims, he would resign from the Senate.
“This is why the American people hate politics in Washington.”
And you are a big part of the reason, Joe.
Sold your vote pretty cheaply didn’t ya?
But it was okay when the Dems did it, Manchin?
