#2 Be a shame if Heather's 'memory holed' EpiPen troubles found a new home and a re-look at the Justice Department.

#4 Back when Manchin first made noises about voting against BBB, I remember some WV guy saying he was just negotiating his price.

#7 i grew up in a democrat town, fall river, mass. I remember being perched on my dads shoulder to see harry truman campaign from a train flatbed in 1947.
Now, i don't like any of them. there should be two parties, conservative and liberal. the liberals must be liberal ie "open to new ideas" and the conservatives should conserve.

#8 I do not believe that anyone (Schumer, Manchin, McConnell…) are out maneuvering anyone. This is all agreed upon. These 800+ page bills are somehow magically created overnight. We are all just being played. Enjoy the $hitshow.

#9 Lifted directly from CTH this afternoon:

BRASS TACKS – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was gleeful last week promoting Manchin’s new green energy proposal because, with steel and aluminum tariffs removed, Canada will be one the biggest beneficiaries of $370 billion congressional spending package. Canada has no heavy industry left, they are the assembly economy for foreign manufacturing that uses loopholes, and the senate bill creates a USMCA loophole for this exact purpose.

The West Virginia windmills and solar panels will be shipped as raw materials from China and the EU into Canada. Canada will assemble the parts and ship the finished goods into the United States for placement by illegal alien workers employed by the contractors. The batteries to store the solar and windmill power will come from Mexico, after they receive the raw materials from Africa and Asia.

Canadian workers, Mexican workers, Chinese Workers, African workers and ASEAN workers will all benefit from the generous Joe Manchin spending package.

Unemployed West Virginia coal miners will watch Joe Manchin run for office in 2024 on Japanese televisions powered by China, while eating cheese puff flavored cricket snacks sourced from Canada. Brilliant plan, Joe.
