WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Joe Manchin declared Tuesday that President Joe Biden’s vast social and environment bill is “dead,” using his strongest language to date to underscore that any revival of Democrats’ top domestic priorities would have to arise from fresh negotiations.

“What Build Back Better bill?” Manchin said Tuesday, using the legislation’s name, when reporters asked about it. “There is no, I mean, I don’t know what you’re all talking about.” Asked if he’d had any talks about it, he added, “No, no, no no. It’s dead.”

Hidden name: "Bilk Badly Busting" bill. Yay, kill the beast!

Given enough federal money, Joe M. will roll over better than Major Biden.

Exactly like every horror movie ever.

9 months to Nov election.

Let's say it is dead. Bet the Dems come up with a small package...which is 95% climate crap.

[Brian Griffin]

Calling all federally elected RINOs to the federal feed trough!

$20 billion for the first turncoat.

$10 billion for the second turncoat.

$2 billion for each additional turncoat.

Credit when credit is due, good for Manchin.

[dfwgator]

To Build Back, you must destroy first. They haven’t quite finished the “destroy” part yet.

[Sacajaweau]

Brandon already said they would simply do it piecemeal. But I think Pelosi put the kabash on it because of the “reconciliation” aspect.

[caww]

Let Biden figure it out....we can wait..and wait...and wait...and wait.
