Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has once again killed President Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda, telling reporters on Tuesday that it’s deader than ever.
While the establishment media reported Sunday from two confirmed sources that Manchin was resuming negotiations on Biden’s $1.9 trillion reconciliation package, the West Virginia senior told reporters the massive tax and spend plan was still dead.
“I’m not agreeing to any of this,” Manchin said about changes to the package the media reported. “There’s been no conversations” with the White House.
Manchin reiterated his December position: “I feel as strongly today as I did then.” ...

Manchin is single handedly saving America from this BBB socialist monstrosity, and needs to be encouraged.
But the self righteous buzzards waiting to pounce will show up here and be their usual turd-in-the-punchbowl selves. They can't wait for him to cave, even if it means the US takes a giant hit.
It must suck to always expect the worst from good people.
With Manchin's history, that statement is NOT reassuring.

Did Simema cave? I haven’t seen any mention of her lately. Last I heard she was standing with Manchin.
And the filibuster rule too - is he a firm no on that?
His palm needs a little more grease.
I don’t care what reason is being used to block Bilge Back Broker. Keep it up.
Good for Manchin. But in fairness to Republicans, the only reason Manchin is able to single-handedly kill BBB is because all 50 Senate Republicans held firm against it. So to anyone who claims there is no difference between the two parties...you're wrong.
The fake news media only has to say “Manchin Said to Be Reconsidering...” whether it’s true or not and they have a story.
It’s dead...until it isn’t.

In other words Manchin hasn't gotten the payoff he wants yet to support the GND.
Remember when we were kids and we found that good OL bald faced hornets nest?
Then, just had to....and when they settled down and again...
Well Manchin just stirred the bastards up again.
Exactly. This is just the usual political posturing and gamesmanship from Manchin. Holding out until the price is right.
I’m glad he killed it again..
Why did it need killing again???
oh ya, because he started talking about bringing it back.
I don’t assume it’s just him.i believe he is the beard.
If Manchin was “good people” he would have never been a Rat in the first place.
So what do we think REALLY happened?
I'd bet that someone in the White House probably leaked the fake story thinking that Manchin will now HAVE to come back to the table.
They probably thought if they leaked a story that Manchin was talking again, the LAAP-dog media would run with the story and pressure Manchin to resume talks to "make the story true."
Desperate Democrats do desperate things.
It didn't work.
