Joe Manchin is a slimy, snake who voted for green new deal and other crap in the “inflation reduction act” which will actually increase inflation rather than decrease it. Manchin was promised by the “progressives” that the continuing resolution bill, that will fund the government until December would include his West Virginia pipeline deal. Then, “progressive” Democrats stabbed Manchin in the back and said they wouldn’t support it. Today, Manchin was forced to remove his permitting crap in the CR bill, and his humiliation was complete. He sold out to the progressive left on BS “climate change” crap and got screwed for it. Now he’s basically done in 2024.
Credit where credit is due. Thank you “progressive Democrats” for completely destroying this snake!
Moderate Democratic West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin won’t be getting his side deal on permitting reform done after all.
Manchin struck a deal with Democratic Leadership to include an overhaul of the U.S. energy permitting system in a continuing budget resolution — to avoid a looming government shutdown — in exchange for his vote on the “Inflation Reduction Act,” the Democrats’ $740 billion tax and spending plan. But Manchin’s deal was on thin ice from the start due to bipartisan opposition. Manchin announced Tuesday afternoon that he had asked Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to take his reforms out of the funding bill.
“It is unfortunate that members of the United States Senate are allowing politics to put the energy security of our nation at risk,” Manchin said in a statement on Twitter Tuesday. “The last several months, we have seen firsthand the destruction that is possible as Vladimir Putin continues to weaponize energy. A failed vote on something as critical as comprehensive permitting reform only serves to embolden leaders like Putin who wish to see America fail.”
