Great. Manchin is just what this country needed. Just when we thought we were rid of the republickballs' knee on this county's neck Manchin steps in and proves otherwise. Manchin is not a mere fly in the ointment. Manchin is a massive maggot dump three feet deep found in a portojohn that will derail other crucial legislation such as climate change, racial equality in the justice system, voting rights, minimum wage adjustments, etc. The fact that his WV constituents out of 50 states rank as health care– #48, education– #44, economy– #50, infrastructure– #50 should speak volumes. And this is the piece of work that will continue to haunt the democratic agenda.
DO NOT TAKE THE COVID VACCINE! This is a brand-new vaccine platform with ZERO long-term safety data. Not debatable. There will be no do-overs.
Chuck Todd is the John Coltrane of political journalism.
If we made corruption illegal, Joe Manchin wouldn't have a job in government.
JOE MANCHIN daughter was the CEO of MYLAN her name is Heather Bresch she single handed rose the price on Epipens on all Americans in 2016. JOE MANCHIN DAUGHTER, HEATHER BRESCH, ATTEMPTED TO MAKE MONEY ON EVERY AMERICAN WHO NEED TO HAVE AN EPIPENS BECAUSE SHE COULD AND IT WAS GOOD FOR HER BOTTOM LINE. JOE MANCHIN NEEDS TO BE VOTED OUT!
All that money for covid relief will go in the congress pockets.
According to the official statistics, South Africa has turned into one of the greatest epicenters of Covid-19 in the world. Since the beginning of April to the 12th July, the cumulative number of infections in South Africa has doubled about every 14 days. On 12 July 2020, 264,184 cumulative cases have been recorded, slightly more than double the 131,800 on 28 June, 14 days before. South Africa was firmly on track to record half a million cumulative infections by 25 July. Community spread appeared unstoppable. At that rate of increase, 1 million would have been infected by 8 August, 2 million by 22 August, 4 million by 5 September, 8 million by 19 September, 16 million by 3 October and some 32 million by 17 October 2020. That would represent 53% of the population of over 59 million people. The daily number of new infections should then have dropped off steeply. On that trend, over the first two weeks of October, between one and two million new infections were likely to occur daily. The growth of new cases in adjoining areas, such as Zimbabwe, Namibia, Eswatini, Botswana and Lesotho was much, much slower – less than one-half to one-third the rate in South Africa. But now, with the current wave in progress, the numbers in these countries are growing in proportion with numbers in SA.
On 13 July, the number of new cases in South Africa dropped significantly by about 1,440, or about 11%. The day before, the 12 July 2020, sales of alcoholic beverages were prohibited in South Africa, creating a false impression that the ban was the cause of the drop in numbers. However, this is false, because the normal lag period of some 5 to 10 days between the introduction of a new measure that is effective, and a reduction in case numbers, was completely absent, clearly identifying it as fake. This trend of a reduction of new cases continued daily and became progressively stronger. Today, 8 March, 2021, with a second (or third?) wave tapering down, the official cumulative number of cases in South Africa stands at 1,521,068 instead of well over 50% of the population, had the 'trend' of doubling every 13 or 14 days continued. It had taken some 107 days to double to this latest number. There is no rational reason for a ban on liquor sales to cause such a sudden, steep drop in new cases. Hence the conclusion is that, over the three-and-a-half months before 12 July, the numbers have been manipulated up, as were the numbers on recoveries. Death numbers, on the other hand, were manipulated down: https://www.businesslive.co.za/bd/national/2020-07-29-excess-deaths-soar-to-more-than-four-times-official-covid-19-toll-mrc-data-shows/
The question is, why have the case numbers been manipulated up?
Early this year, South Africa applied for an IMF loan of US$4.3 billion at a very low interest rate. On 27 July 2020, the IMF publicly announced that the loan was granted – https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2020/07/27/pr20271-south-africa-imf-executive-board-approves-us-billion-emergency-support-covid-19-pandemic Most likely, South Africa was informed of the grant earlier than the public announcement, perhaps around 12 July? Clearly, the numbers in South Africa have been manipulated up to impress on the IMF an urgent need for funds to fight the epidemic in the country. Most of the funds are likely to disappear into the pockets of corrupt people in positions of power and their family.
A further question is, what is the real motive for the ban on liquor sales – back in July 2020 and again now in early 2021?
The answer is that the ban on liquor sales will most likely drive many liquor stores out of business. The liquor trade is seen as lucrative, easy business. White owners of such businesses are exempt on a racist basis of financial assistance to weather the covid storm, including the IMF funds. Many of these businesses are likely to go bankrupt and be bought up at bargain prices by black politicians, their family members https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2020-07-31-ace-magashules-sons-each-bag-a-free-state-covid-19-contract/amp/?__twitter_impression=true and other black business people, perhaps using some of the IMF funds paid for other contracts where contract prices have been loaded – https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/covid-19-sahrc-set-to-probe-gauteng-health-spending-amid-corruption-claims-20200730

Fraud and corruption assume many a guise. The South African government is rotten through from top to bottom and the people in power are out on the loot. They saw an opportunity and they jumped on it. But at the same time, they are doing the South African population a grave disservice, endangering peoples' lives and livelihoods – subsequent waves of infections in South Africa are being masked by the huge false first wave. The statistics are being adjusted according to ulterior motives. Such as the opportunities a good crisis offers for personal enrichment. This time, however, the South African black elite defrauded and made fools of the international community, their co-members of the IMF, rather than their own citizens – perhaps strategically a grave error?
Now, only 5 months after South Africa was granted the USD 4.3 billion IMF loan (which comes to USD 71 per person in South Africa), the South African government cannot find the USD 4 per dose for the Astra Zeneca vaccine to vaccinate the population!

Its all true!
But the cherry on top?? – South Africans like this one:
"Samuel Makhetha 23 hours ago @Jan Viljoen no sir, a lot of Africans used their forefathers best method of killing all kinds of flu viruses, steaming using different natural herbs and I'm one of them. No need to pay billions to sons and daughters of Colonialists who still have their own agendas of depopulation of black African people."
Not an isolated opinion either! And it takes just one half-civilised saboteur with similar views to leave a freezer door open or flick a switch and thousands of doses of vaccine are lost – as recently happened in South Africa.
No long term data? They can have my shots…
Equity….. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Manchinn is one Dem I would vote out but we need to keep good Dems in office period
Manchin is living in fantasyland, if he thinks there are 10 Republicans who are willing to even consider working with Democrats. At least he tries harder than most, but I don't understand how he doesn't understand that Republican Senators just aren't willing to pull their own weight for the American people. The system he wants to maintain isn't working for Americans.
This is why everything in the Bill should be for the people that way there's no wasteful spending they find ways not to help Americans an give us lip service instead 🖕ðŸÂ¾🖕ðŸÂ¾🖕ðŸÂ¾
Mans goals with Viruses are no different than his goals with Atomic Weapons. Read “This Is A Bio-Attack Alertâ€ÂÂ, by Dr Robert B Strecker to better understand the Truth about COVID-19. Dr Strecker, a Medical Doctor with a PhD in Pharmacology said, “There Is No Proof Any Vaccines Cure Anything.
ITS THE END TIMES PEOPLE JESUS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER AHHHHHH!!!!!
To all you Manchin haters, don’t forget it’s better to have a Democrat who votes both ways from West Virginia compared to a republican from West Virginia.
No other democratic nominee in West Virginia can possibly win!
Manchin is really a Republican. Why is the media so easy on him?
That Manchin won't change his mind on the antiquated filibuster and believes Republicans, who have voted lock step against Democratic bills for over 8 years, want compromise, speaks to how poorly thought-out his position is on this issue.
Manchin IN THE KNOW👀
He voted to remove federal funding for Planned Parenthood in 2015, supported President Trump's immigration policies and voted to confirm most of his cabinet and judicial appointees, including Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. He vocally opposes policy proposals from the progressive wing of his party, including Medicare For All, abolishing the filibuster, increasing the number of justices on the Supreme Court, increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, and attempts to defund the police.
MANCHIN CAN SAY WHATEVER USELESS WORDS HE CHOOSES, THE PURPOSE OF HIS JOB IS NOT TO RIDE INTO DC ON THE BACKS OF HIS VOTERS AS A DEMOCRAT THEN HAMSTRING EVERYTHING THAT HELPS THE VERY POOR PEOPLE OF WEST VIRGINIA. BE HONEST AND RECOGNIZE AS SOMEONE " WEST VIRGINIA RICH" HE ALIGNS HIMSELF WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
the politician's will get most of this, i will not see a dime give it to your church
blue state and government worker bailout based on a fraud
Every SENATOR SHOULD TAKE THE INCOME THAT THEY EXPECT AMERICANS TO LIVE ON FOR 6 MONTHS JST SO THEY CAN SEE HOW QUICKLY BEING SHORT EVERY MONTH SPIRALS OUT OF CONTROL AND LEADS TO DEPT. BEFORE WE GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO SAY WHAT IS IN OUR BEST INTREST QHEN THEY VOTE AGAINST THOSE WHO ACTUALLY KEEP THIS COUNTRY AND THEIR POCKETS WORKING.TIRED OF LEADERSHIP SPEAKING ON MY BEHALF WHEN THEY HAVE NO CLUE OR CONSERN FOR MY STRUGGLE.
Tell me sir? When was the last time the Republican party voted for anything other than tax cuts for billionaires and judges to take away voters rights
The people of the United States have been betrayed by the senator from West Virginia
Typical of Chuck Todd to only say it is “COVID Relief “ when only 9% of the $1.9 Trillion goes to that. When will he get a spine and call people out? He can call a Republican out but he gives a pass constantly to Democrats. The Show should be called “Meet the Liberal Press†I watched this show for balance and it has had zero in the last four years. You have lost me as a viewer and one who supported your advertisers.
The ignorance of the trolls never ceases to amaze me.😅
I saw this 20 min. ago on msnbs.
So the Republicans say this bill was filled with Liberal spending agenda's ? So the Democrats are doing what we voted them in to do 🤆? And thats a bad thing how……..?
"pork" involves funding for government programs whose economic or service benefits are concentrated in a particular area but whose costs are spread among all taxpayers. Public works projects, certain national defense spending projects, and agricultural subsidies are the most commonly cited examples. (Wikipedia definition) If not for funding government projects, infrastructure or programs, then what is our taxes from labor, sales and property suppose to go to? So that corporations, CEO's, billionaire stockholders and billionaires can get their taxes cut? Are we tax payers responsible for funding the lavish lifestyle of the very rich deadbeat tax payers, while we starve and live on the streets after we get evicted from our own homes? These politicians are same people who sit on the board of these huge corporations, own stocks in them and have gotten very fat off of tax funds that fund subsidies that go to those companies. They are not representing the people, they're representing themselves. Those Scrooges are so greedy that they hate funds going back to the people who paid into them and that are not going into their own pockets. This is not GOP v. Dem, it's the very rich v. the very poor.
Today the Republic died. George Soros rules.
Manchin is a horrible human being.
why worry about the opposition having a say so? the opposition hasn't let the democrats have a say so in approximately 10 years. You don't negotiate with an opposition, the republicans, who have strategically negotiated in bad faith consistently in the past.
Vote Joe Manchin out!!! he is a Republican!
This is why next year, we need to vote for progressive democratic senators and governors, not moderates taking corporate money.
WE WERE PROMISED HELP WAS ON WAY ON 1-7!
Peace and Blessings
Have a blessed and beautiful day
We don't want your f'n jab! We want you to stop dropping bombs! ASAP! We want you to lower the price of insulin and epipens for those people who need it! And we want you to lower the price of gasoline! While your at it can you give all those people their jobs back that you signed away? Thanks 😊ðŸ™ÂÂ
This piece of legislation robs our country. Way to go Resident Boe Jiden! Thumbs down!!!
