Manchin's Rude Awakening - Own Party Betrays Him After He Caved on Inflation Reduction Act

Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin’s agreement late last month to back the disingenuously named Inflation Reduction Act came as a shock to Republicans and likely to members of his own party as well.

Up until then, the West Virginia senator had been the one vote standing between the Democrats’ passage of needless and expensive climate change legislation and fiscal sanity.

Then, one day in July, a beaming Manchin joined Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to announce his support for a $740 billion bill which, contrary to its title, will do nothing to reduce inflation. It will, however, subsidize green energy programs, raise taxes on the middle class, and dramatically expand the size of the IRS.

In order to secure Manchin’s vote, President Joe Biden and Democratic leaders promised to facilitate the approval of a gas pipeline in West Virginia. This would require passage of legislation that would “overhaul the permitting process for energy infrastructure,” according to The American Prospect, a liberal website.

Apparently, progressives in the House are not keen on supporting a measure that “could undercut the IRA’s down payment on clean energy by accelerating approval for energy projects that could ramp up U.S. fossil fuel production and exports of natural gas,” The American Prospect reported.

I have a feeling these 30 pieces of green silver will remain entrenched in the minds of the WV electorate who will suffer later on due to Manchin's betrayal.

Give Mr. Manchin the 2022 Bart Stupak award for gullibility in the political arena...

Well, Benedict Arnold wasn't treated well by the Brits, either...

No one trusts a turncoat who won't stay turned.

This happened to Gen. Milley as well. During Trump, according to Milley's own book, he was in contact with the CCP and the Chinese Military using "backchannels", swearing that he would never allow (*ALLOW*) Trump to do anything against them. A clear military coup and usurpation of National Chain of Command.

Now, Trump is gone and China refuses to take calls from Milley anymore. Nobody respects a traitor. How can they trust him? More than that, they no longer need Milley. Biden will already do anything China tells them to do. So Milley/Austin are redundant.

But yes. As Manchin learned, once you 'trust' the word of Satan, only a fool is surprised when they are betrayed.

Milley is a traitor.  He should be court martialed and shot as a traitor.  He has already confessed to his treason, that is how blatant traitors are in the USA today.  And yet, he remains in control of our military.  Of course his boss is an even bigger traitor!

In regard to the moron Sen Manchin,  did you ever see a dumber look on a politician when Biden handed Manchin the signing pen to adding 87,000 IRS armed agents/modern day Gestapo?  Manchin ended his career with that vote.  No way West Virginia votes him into office again.  I can see him getting primaried in WV and losing.  And the new taxes on all forms of energy, but hey, no worries, not going to affect anyone under $400,000 income.  That lie alone should send Biden to politician hell.

And his numbers are up.  Go figure.  That is how dumb Americans are today, or just how dishonest the media is with every breath!

And when the inflation comes, and we have not properly addressed the current bout of hyper inflation, and these drunken sailors for spending us blind.  Interest rates will hit 12-14% next year.
