1. Somewhere

Joe Lieberman is smiling.

[Bettie]

2. Is this where we're supposed to cheer

because he's ostensibly on "our team"?

Give him an 'atta boy!' in celebration of his going along with the right wing on public health?

[choie]

3. Of course he backs the republican plan.

fucker.

[BeckyDem]

4. Shameful.

[Celerity]

6. he is literally on record now as being pro-Covid spreading, just astounding

[Fullduplexxx]

5. Oops better not ....

[PortTack]

7. Just infuriating!!

[Corgigal]

8. Someone need to take Joe Manchin

on a joyride through Huntington West Virginia, and ask him, what is wrong with you? If no answer, drop him at a psychiatric center for anti-social behavioral therapy.

[Celerity]

10. maybe he could take the Maserati on a tour of these WV locations

16. West Virginians living a sad life

9. Does co-sponsoring a bill against Biden's agenda count against Manchin's 100% rating?

Even if the bill never comes to the floor for a vote, which is likely since a bill must originate in the house, and Pelosi can block it there, so it will never be voted on in the senate.

Whew! That was a close one! Looks like upstanding citizen and wholehearted Democrat Joe Manchin will keep his 100% meaningless “100% Biden loyalty voter” rating from 538 that is touted by his fan club here, even though he has co-sponsored this anti-Biden agenda legislation…

[BeckyDem]

11. +1

[Celerity]

12. this type of resolution is not House dependent, so the Senate will vote on it and pass it with

Manchin's help.

His 100% record will be shot and far more meaningful is the fact Manchin literally is THE vote that passes a final vote against a Biden stance. (unlike the meaningless protest votes (that blocked nothing) that the 'but but Manchin is 100% pro Biden' poster always tosses out there in a futile attempt to play sophistry spin games)

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. But without originating and passing in the house, it will be a toothless resolution

It will not have the force of law, it will be as meaningful as “National Doughnut Day” type resolutions.

[Celerity]

14. I never claimed it would become law

[SharonClark]

15. So how does he feel about the red states who have passed laws or have governors

who have outlawed private businesses from implementing mask mandates for their employees?

[Volaris]

17. FINE THEN, heres how we proceed, then:

Every single one of your employees got ALL their shots?
Cool cool, good job, ZERO federal OR State taxes for you next year.

Oh, I'm sorry, your maga ass got fired cause you're costing your company TAX DOLLARS?
Sux to be you, bro...better call joe manchins office.

Fuck this game playing. If this is what Joe thinks he wants, then let's make the alternative LESS PAINFUL, because fuck him at this point.

[tritsofme]

18. This is a pointless vote, Manchin did not vote against the mandate when it actually mattered

Yesterday, as an amendment to the CR.
