I’ve often been hard on Sen. Joe Manchin and for good reason. Too often in the past, he’s presented himself as an unshakable moderate in order to keep his seat in deep-red West Virginia, while at the same time folding on major issues when he gets to Washington.
Yet, I have to give him credit. Under immense pressure from the far-left of his party, including the leadership in Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, Manchin appears to be stiffening his spine. I’m not saying to trust him just yet, but it’s a good sign.
Today, Manchin penned an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal

The left's 'reeeee....' level is layered and amplified with Manchin's refusal to kill the filibuster that will be used in the Senate to block Pelosi's threatened abortion bill.

The left just hasn't gotten anywhere near Joe's price.
Of course, he's gotta think on how he can snooker the WV electorate again in 2024.

Manchin loves playing this game and evidently we love watching. The game playing never ends and the American taxpayer is always the loser. Wake me up after the vote is taken.

He is up for re-election in 2022. Maybe the polls will save us.

"Never get between a camera and a politician in Washington." - Former Texas Senator John Tower. Just like actors, singers, and yes, some preachers,
they LIVE for the limelight. They crave it and It feeds their egos. Pres. Trump made a huge mistake campaigning against "Cave-in Joe" in the last election.

“Stiffening his spine” actually means “Raising his price”. Trusting this clown is like expecting Mittens or Liz Cheney to do the right thing.

Manchin is all hat and no cattle. He talks a good game, but seldom follows through. I'm waiting to see how he ACTUALLY votes.

Maybe the deep state has already selected the blackmailed Rinos who will support the bill. That way Manchin can appear as a principled politician. What we see is never the truth. The cabal controls the entire US government and if they want it to pass, it will.
In the current climate, I am suspect about anything a DC politician says or anything in the woke Wall Street Journal

Because of the Afghanistan disaster that Biden created, Manchin has sensed that it’s not safe politically to go along with the Democrats.

After the damage Xiden has done to America’s reputation in the world as well as what he has done to those he abandoned, nothing he wants should pass from this point forward. Hopefully Biden and Sinema hold their position in the face of deadly threats that will come from Chuck U. You could see what Chuck U was all about yesterday when he was front and center in the NY storm aftermath, blaming global warming so he can get his $3.5 trillion for the Green New Deal. He proved it’s all about the money!

Joe is only in the "Zig" phase of his Zig-Zag version of politics. Don't worry, he will fail us again sometime soon. He and Susan Collins should get married and move to someplace far away.

He won’t. Hold the line. He never has and he won’t start now. He just has to make a big scene about the issue until he can show his voters he was reasonably convinced to change his mind and stab them in the back. Yet again. I’ve seen him do it over and over.
He has those dance steps well memorized. They work too.

They'll lower the price tag a bit and he'll fold.

He’s just telling Joe that he wants a raise for his wife.

Fool me once....... this is sop for Manchin. He's negotiating and put in his current price just so over the Holiday weekend the 'real' Power can decide how much they want to give him. Someone in his family should start creating art. That seems to be the new medium to transfer funds.

We haven't seen ONE demonrat Senator that has a conscience and votes for We the People. It's all about them. Usually filthy luger.

He'll do what all hacks do: vote against the 3.5 but go all in on, say, a 3.0 Mill bill.
That way he can say he voted against an outrageous expenditure but he also voted to bring home the bacon.
Both Ways.

He is always grandstanding, until he or the wife get something out of it. Let's see if he carries through this time! I do not trust him!

Joe the drama queen Manchin. He must be campaigning for re-election it's time to turn on the 'moderate switch'. What a classless, clueless dweeb, jerk. Mitt Romney wishes he was as cool as Joey Munchkin.

Here we go again with the DEMOCRAT Senator from the Mountain State. Anyone who believes that Joe Manchin won’t eventually tow the party line I have a West Virginia outhouse with Robert KKKKK Byrd’s name on it to sell you.

Last I heard Biden's approval rating in West Va was in the 20s. By now it's probably closer to 10.
