White House is torn over Joe Manchin’s fury at climate law he crafted - eviltoast
Biden aides are trying to agree to Manchin’s demands where they can to avoid antagonizing him, while still advancing a climate agenda that he strongly opposes.

As White House officials weigh how much to give in to his demands, rift grows between president and senator from West Virginia

It’s worth leaving a comment to let the Biden Administration know that you want the greenhouse gas reduction measures in the Inflation Reduction Act preserved

    Equating the documented and admitted truth of the Dem leadership rigging primaries to Trump’s preposterous lies about them rigging the 2020 general shows either profound ignorance or colossal dishonesty. Be better.

      the documented and admitted truth of the Dem leadership rigging primaries

      …doesn’t exist and you know it. Be better.

        So this is just a figment of my imagination? This court decision was purely hypothetical? The former head of the party is just a disgruntled employee making shit up? ANOTHER former leader of the party stepped down just for funsies? This is just the fevered ramblings of a lunatic or a Trump supporter (but I repeat myself)? They weren’t the main reason that Cuellar, the last anti-choice democrat in Congress managed to “beat” Cisneros whose policy positions were many times more popular across the board?

        You really need to get your head out of the fucking sand and/or stop knowingly lying.

          That is an opinion piece.

          This court decision was purely hypothetical?

          Kushner-controlled paper. Not credible.

          The former head of the party is just a disgruntled employee making shit up?

          Paywalled.

          And no, I’m not interested in you copy-and-pasting the text for me, because I don’t trust you not to alter the text.

          ANOTHER former leader of the party stepped down just for funsies?

          Not an admission of guilt. Sometimes people resign just to defuse controversy, even though they are not actually to blame.

          This is just the fevered ramblings of a lunatic or a Trump supporter (but I repeat myself)?

          That isn’t relevant. It complains about how down-ticket candidates are selected, but Bernie Sanders was on the ticket.

          They weren’t the main reason that Cuellar, the last anti-choice democrat in Congress managed to “beat” Cisneros whose policy positions were many times more popular across the board?

          If that were true, Cisneros would have won the election. She came close, but she didn’t get the votes. And no, it’s not cheating for politicians to endorse each other.

          You really need to get your head out of the fucking sand and/or stop knowingly lying.

          The feeling’s mutual. If you want to successfully deceive me, you’re going to have to try a lot harder than that.
