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.”

If Manchin or Sinema were to go, their replacements would be Republicans, as the governors of Arizona and West Virginia are Republicans. That would give the GOP 52 votes, making McConnell majority leader and flipping the committee chairs to the ranking Republican. So Manchin and Sinema are not in danger.

They’ll try and revive it again after confirming Justice Alice B. Token.

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

It's called "bagramming"

The BBB head has already been cut off.
Only the Dementia Joe crazies still don't see it

[lurk]

It’s never dead. Collectivism mutates and returns in other forms.

We will never figure that out.

[SmokingJoe]

Why?
You all promised they’d get it passed by Christmas and thus is February.

[SmokingJoe]

Manchin’s unfortunate suicide will revive the bill.

Dream on.
Neither Manchin nor Sinema is Epstein.

[cowboyusa]

Domestic President Macnhin has spoken.

“Neither Manchin nor Sinema is Epstein:

I HOPE NOT

[SmokingJoe]

They are NOT in jail for starters. And Manchin is far tougher than Epstein and in case 9f "accident" will 100% be replaced by a hard core Republican conservative that will make the Dems crap their pants.
What more ya got?

[V_TWIN]

I’m Good bro. Not looking for an argument.

My initial post was pretty much a joke......but apparently not a very good one.

[caww]

Even if they “piecemeal” it they will formulate it so there’s much more to it than what they present and they’ll focus on “It’’s for the children” or some such catch word to make it sound like if our guys aren’t for it we don’t care.
