I certainly hope Manchin sticks to his decision. He sort of has a reputation for folding.

And Lefty heads explode:


Ilhan Omar -



Quote:
“We all knew that Senator Manchin couldn’t be trusted. The excuses that he just made, I think, are complete bull****,” she said.


Meanwhile on CNN, Rep. Ayanna Pressley accused Manchin of having negotiated in bad faith and claimed he’s belying the will of the people.


“He has continued to move the goalposts, he has never negotiated in good faith and he is obstructing the president’s agenda, 85 percent of which is still left on the table. And in obstructing the president’s agenda, he is obstructing the people’s agenda,” she said.

So you think it’s someone else’s responsibility to pay for you to procreate? Here’s an idea, if you can’t afford to have and raise kids don’t expect someone else to pay for them. Democrats love giving away other peoples money for votes. They are doing it now with illegals and your hooked as well.. anything for someone else to pay the way eh?

Apparently the White House is upset because they felt they were close to Manchin's number when negotiating a bribe to get him to back the adminstration's plan. Thankfully he's more worried about his constituents than Biden & party. This was a no brainer and Manchin knows it.

he has been consisted in not supporting this liberal b.s. of a bill. He knows he can't back down in his state where 3 out of 4 people are against this bill. He is playing smart, next year the GOP will take over congress and he will get things for his state from the GOP. Hell, We might make him #3 in the GOP ranks.

I honestly don't mind hard-working families who are struggling to make ends meet getting the child tax credit. I far prefer helping Americans than sending our tax dollars to other countries.

But by sending thousands of dollars to families who don't work, while it may help them better provide for their families, it's also incentivizing them to stay home instead of getting a job. And without income and no income tax return being filed, this won't be offset by anything. That, I take issue with.

The Democrats want everyone feeding off the government. Help those who contribute and do something to motivate the takers.

Those of us who didn't get a dime because of income restrictions.
Yes, kinda salty - I know people who haven't even lived in this country for years and still got their stimulus checks.
