Sen. Joe Manchin - Imgflip

Sen. Joe Manchin threatened to block President Biden’s climate change and infrastructure package unless Republicans have more of a voice in the negotiation process than they did with the coronavirus stimulus bill.

Manchin, a moderate Democrat from West Virginia who has emerged as a critical swing vote in the narrowly divided Senate, said he would use his position as chairman of the Senate Energy Committee to hold up the legislation unless the GOP has input.  

“I’m not going to do it through reconciliation,” ​he told “Axios on HBO” in an interview that aired Sunday. “I am not going to get on a bill that cuts them out completely before we start trying.”

  • Maybe some of them  are finally waking up to the liberal communist government control their party has.

  • Why didn't you block the Porkulas phony stimulis bill?? HUH, Joe?

  • Good luck with the thieves

  • I was thinking the other day that Republican voters are not represented unless the voted-for bill is represented by at least part of the agreed-upon votes in the process of passing bills or laws. If the Congress or Senate votes on a bill there should be no less than fifty percent of democrats and fifty percent republicans plus one vote to pass, that way all citizens are represented and in agreement to pass the bill. Doesn't that make sense? If they don't get fifty percent of both republicans and democrats to start with then it is a dead bill or law! Tell me what you think about this. 

  • He seems partly awake. Let's hope he truly wakes up

  • Don't trust one word Manchin says.  Remember he's been against the doing away the filibuster [or even changing it] for a very long time - until this weekend.  Did anyone see him on Meet the Press or Wallace?  He's just another lying Democrat who will go along with anything Herr Schumer wants.

    • Joe was against any law that would limit the 2nd ammendmant, until after he was elected the first time.  Then he voted for limitations!  Remember how he was photographed with a rifel for his campagne posters?  Now he wants more restrictions!

       

  • The Demofascists enforcers will be having a talk with Joe soon to assure him ha might have an accident if he doesn't GET IN LINE!!!

  • Why doesn' he just change parties???? He is more of a Republican than today's democrats!

    • NO he is NOT!
