Sanders says Manchin not supporting Biden's spending package is 'not acceptable'

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said on Sunday that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) not supporting President Biden’s $3.5 trillion spending package was “not acceptable.”

"No, it's absolutely not acceptable to me. I don't think it's acceptable to the president, to the American people or to the overwhelming majority of the people in the Democratic caucus," Sanders told host Dana Bash on CNN's "State of the Union."

"This is a consequential bill. It is hard to put a bill like this together. At the end of the day, I believe we will," Sanders told Bash.

Mentioning that he worked with Manchin on the passing of the American Rescue Plan earlier this year, Sanders said he was hopeful the Senate would pass the $3.5 trillion spending bill package.

Sen. Bernie Sanders says Sen. Joe Manchin preferring $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion for the reconciliation bill is "absolutely not acceptable."

Manchin said on Sunday that he would not support the $3.5 trillion package, which the Senate hopes to pass this week so the House can pass the measure by Sept. 27.

Manchin proposed a $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion spending package that will address child nutrition, unemployment and the tax code.

If our representatives on our side would’ve done their freaking job and demand impeachment hearings the rats would’ve been hiding under a table right now instead of demanding detrimental bills to pass. The republicans would’ve made biden a lame duck fake president but instead McConnell and McCarthy gave him life line.... no impeachment hearings .... effin bastards! THEY HAVE TO GO!!

“never until the Biden administration have I seen such a bold effort to tie the hands of law enforcement from upholding the rule of law”

a post here on freerepublic

“In order to assume his or her duties, the President-elect must recite the Oath of Office. The Oath is administered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The President-elect places the left hand on the Bible, raises the right hand, and takes the Oath as directed by the Chief Justice. The Oath, as stated in Article II, Section I, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution, is as follows:

“’I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.’”

“Fourteenth Amendment
Section 3
No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same....”

A federal lawsuit needs to be filed to get rid of the Delaware rebel.

Federal courts should be able to enforce both Sections 1 and 3 of Amendment XIV.

Having been disappointed in Manchin many times, I, with great sorrow, think in the end he will give in.

It would be nice if he stayed strong, but it’s hard to beat those odds.

If he stands firm, it will be the first time, I think.

Manchin will cave. He’ll sell himself taking bribes, or succumb to threats. Manchin always caves.

I think Corn Pop rode shotgun when Joe was driving that 18 wheeler.

Or maybe he was with Lunchbox Joe down in the coal mines near Scranton - before he moved to DE when was 10 years old.

LOL. The $3.5T bill doesn't even extend unemployment, there's no way a smaller package would.
