I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the "let's not do anything to upset Joe Manchin" plan was a failure.
This is why I made this loving tribute to him and his family *MONTHS* ago.

This story destroys all the cheerleader BS that has been spread on Twitter about Joe Manchin this entire year.
Forget what he says.
LOOK AT HIS ACTIONS.

100% agree. The Senate must reconvene immediately and bring BBB to a vote regardless of Manchin’s statement.
If they forced folks to go on record with BIF, they can force the Senate to go on record with BBB. We can take it up again next year too.

This is what they wanted right before Christmas.
This was McConnell's plan months ago.

(Bloomberg) -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc. lowered its forecast for U.S. economic growth after Senator Joe Manchin said Sunday he won’t support the $2 trillion tax-and-spending plan that’s the heart of President Joe Biden’s economic agenda.

Donald Trump wanted to stunt Joe Biden's economic growth.
Mitch McConnell wanted to stunt Joe Biden's economic growth.
Republicans want wanted to stunt Joe Biden's economic growth.
AND DELIVERED WHAT THEY WANTED.

People don’t understand how power works. Republicans are in the minority & are still managing to defeat Democrats b/c they’re ideologically driven & are engaged in a raw power struggle. Liberals keep talking about processes that will go out the window the instant GOP takes over.

I’m the House sponsor of the #BuildBackBetter Act, and I can tell you that Joe Manchin’s reasons for opposing this legislation are complete BS. I don’t know if he doesn’t get it or just doesn’t care, but the American people will pay the price.

A Gutted BBB plan is not the BBB plan.
Don't get spun on that BS in January.
It was already cut more than half to appease this MF.

My 5 year old immuno-suppressed daughter didn't build antibodies to the vaccines. She's a cancer and transplant survivor. Just a bummer. Still, we keep hope. This is why you vaccinate and mask up and take this pandemic seriously. You do it for those who are vulnerable.

Just want to extend my sincerest fuck you to all who didn’t care enough about the other guy to get vaccinated. Been with my dad in the hospital for cancer, nurses are in short supply because of you. Stay out of the hospital if you don’t believe in science! 🖕🏼‼️

There 20 Republican Senate seats are up in 2022.
Let’s expand our majority so we never have to hear Joe Manchin's name again.

All I can is holy shit are you lucky I'm not a UK resident.
Because you are an idiot's idiot and you are destroying your country with the same stupid enthusiasm Donald Trump did here.

If you know someone who is not vaccinated or not had the booster yet make an effort to convince them that it is the right thing for them to do for their own health and everyone else's too.
The Biden administration has done an amazing job with vaccinations but we need to do more.
