As a former state employee, I remember they spoke greatly about Joe's ability to pillage federal funds for personal items (ex: got the feds to pay for WV Dept of Environmental Protections to buy a plane for infrared flights and Joe took it as his personal air taxi). But that just means he is just one of the gang in terms of being a politician.

I live in WV. And Joe Manchin is a hero here. Not for what he did today, but for what his Father did with JFK

As for him flipping parties, he would join the Gov here in doing so. 

Come to think of it I don't think anybody should switch parties I think they should vote their conscience. Left or right.

Very true.

I see the coal miners here in WV are upset with Manchin’s no vote. He is an honorary member of the coal miners union, and his no vote cuts funding to help coal miners

When will you smarten up and find out what's actually in the bill?

Or maybe you already did which is why you've gone quiet.

I would like the self-proclaimed economics expert break down exactly what's in the bill not glittering generalities and tell us why he thinks it couldn't be improved upon even as it stands after the cuts?

About the same time Mitt Romney puts a “D” next to his name.

I'll say it again.. If this were a a simple infrastructure bill, I'd be all for it. But it's far from it

Axe-actly

And if the Democrats cared about actual infrastructure they would have gotten on board when Trump was pushing for one.

 Seems like you Biden lovers spend a lot of time bitching about one side or the other being inflexible until 1 of your own flexes a little bit.  Maybe he was one of the very few honest enough to realize how much damage build back better was going to cause. And I'm surprised that you loved it if that's what you're pissed about?

 Meanwhile you praise generals who refuse to follow the orders of the commander in chief as the Constitution demands. Maybe Millie should just join Al-Qaeda?
