GETTING kickbacks.
In exchange for the filibuster.
I think this is one of the back door kickbacks for Manchin. Manchin’s no fool. String the regime along long enough and double, triple, maybe quadruple the payoff for the votes he was going to cast all along. The guy might be as talented a swamp operator as McConnell is.
Need every grassroots campaign we know to advertise the fact that Joe Manchin is going to take bribes for his vote and how big the bribes are. His wife already got the government “job” she probably doesn’t have to go to (kinda like the jobs Kamala got from old Willie). I hope Steve Bannon etc. keep an eye out on what he gets paid off with next.
And there you have it folks! I kept saying oh he’s just waiting for the dollar signs to cross his desk and here you go. Consider him caved by Monday. The rats never cross each other or their base, not like our site does, they never do just look at what Pelosi said a few hours ago and caved to the squad.
Anybody believing that Manchin was standing firm out of principle simply does not know his history. He talks a good game but he always folds in the end and here he now has a million reasons to fold. I suspect Sinema will fold next as soon as the dems know the price of her vote, likely negotiations are ongoing as we speak.
West Virginians better remind that a-hole who he’s supposed to serve.
Manchin is on our side, right.
