    If Manchin hadn't stood firm, there is no way that enough Republicans would have allowed the welfare benefits that were scaled back, not in dollars, but in putting sunset provisions in the BBB. Sort of like getting Republicans to repeal obamacare when they had the chance. Thanks Maverick.

    Brandon's Handlers Accuse Manchin of Bad Faith in Wake of His "No" On Build Back Bolshevik Bill
    —Ace
    On Sunday, Manchin went on Brandon's favorite network, Fox News, to say he was a hard "Hell No" on the Build Back Bolshevik bill.

    "If I can't go home and explain to the people of West Virginia, I can't vote for it. And I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can't. I've tried everything humanly possible. I can't get there," Manchin said. "This is a no on this piece of legislation. I have tried everything I know to do."

    The White House is claiming that Manchin promised to support the "framework" of this bill and the "scope" of it, meaning, the dollar amount.

    Except the didn't. These are all lies.

    But Psaki accuses Manchin of lying, and of betraying Brandon -- and the Democrat cause.

    And the poor. And children.

    And America.

    Basically, Brandon declared war on Manchin, which is good for Manchin, because, as the Taliban can tell you, Brandon sucks at war.

    "Senator Manchin's comments this morning on FOX are at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances," Psaki said. "Weeks ago, Senator Manchin committed to the President, at his home in Wilmington, to support the Build Back Better framework that the President then subsequently announced. Senator Manchin pledged repeatedly to negotiate on finalizing that framework 'in good faith.'"
    "On Tuesday of this week, Senator Manchin came to the White House and submitted -- to the President, in person, directly -- a written outline for a Build Back Better bill that was the same size and scope as the President's framework, and covered many of the same priorities. While that framework was missing key priorities, we believed it could lead to a compromise acceptable to all," Psaki continued in her statement. "Senator Manchin promised to continue conversations in the days ahead, and to work with us to reach that common ground. If his comments on FOX and written statement indicate an end to that effort, they represent a sudden and inexplicable reversal in his position, and a breach of his commitments to the President and the Senator's colleagues in the House and Senate."

    Manchin did not agree to support a $1.7 trillion bill. He announced months ago that he would support a $1.5 trillion bill. Brandon and the Democrat presented him with a $1.7 trillion bill, so that's already outside what he said he'd support.

    But it's worse than that, of course, because that $1.7 trillion price tag was a lie. That number was contrived through transparent horse-sh*t gimmicks like supposedly sunsetting leftwing spending programs obviously intended to go on forever after one or three years.

    No actual spending was taken out of the $3.5 trillion bill Manchin objected to -- they just pretended that some of the larger spending plans would only go on for one or three years out of the ten years the budget covered.

    Literally no one in DC believes that, and when Peter Doocy asked Jen Psaki if Joe Biden would commit to those supposed sunset limitations on spending, she changed the subject and refused to answer.
