BBB DOA

Yesterday, Sen. Joe Manchin seemed to drive the final nail into the coffin of the Biden/Harris/Pelosi/Schumer "Build Back Better" bill. It was actually a "build back bad" bill that would have taken us down the road toward socialism, fundamentally transforming America for generations.

Here's my quip for the day: Biden was finally right about something. He said the bill wouldn't cost anything. Well, if they don't pass it, he's right! 

If you could see me right now, I'm doing a little dance in my office. But it's only a little dance. 

The full weight and fury of the left has come down on Manchin's head in the last 24 hours. He's being threatened.  The White House press secretary essentially called him a liar. Every socialist in Congress (here and here) is calling for his scalp. The worst people in America are furious, and, sadly, they have a lot of money and power. 

Some Democrat insiders are claiming that Manchin's statement is just another negotiating tactic. Don't forget that he is on the record saying he could support a $1.5 trillion bill, but not this $5 trillion monstrosity. 

Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer announced this morning that he will bring the Build Back Better bill to the Senate floor for a vote "very early in the New Year." And he vowed that the Senate will "keep voting on it until we get something done."

But the Biden White House is clearly on the defensive. This Politico headline says it all:

"Biden Promised Competence And Order. Chaos And Uncertainty Are Winning."



The deep split in the on the left is impossible even for the leftist media to ignore.
