Senator Manchin, in threat to Biden agenda, opposes reconciliation, backs filibuster


Without trashing the filibuster it would most likely mean we would be waiting until at least the beginning of the next FY for any more stimmy... perhaps unless there is another crisis that develops...

So they have 2 rogue...

Reconciliation seems to still be possible but looks like it would have to closer to the start of next FY.... so this is a schedule issue...

Joe Lieberman, incredibly chosen as VP candidate. Says everything about Dem establishment.

Maybe Manchin remembers that.

Yeah, scumbags they can point to, so they never have to do a damn thing.

The Dems keep obstructionist cunts like Lieberman and Manchin to fuck up any really progressive agenda. That way they can 'play liberal' while still doing their donor's bidding.
