Democrats reneg on a deal they made with Joe Manchin.

What else is new. A political party that believes in getting its way by any means necessary is not going to honor any agreement they make. When this deal was first made anyone with eyes open knew that they were going to stiff Manchin.

This guy will be resoundingly booted out by the voters of West Virginia in 2024. I just hope the Republican who runs against them is a good one. There are still a lot of rotten Republicans out there.

Tim adds:

A lot of Republicans didn't support this either because it was tied to a big spending bill.

Manchin was a fool. His own party hated him and was prepared to give up the seat rather than let him hold up their agenda. And if anyone didn't think they would throw him under the bus they don't know the Democrats.

Granted he deserved it; anyone foolish enough to trust the radicals in the Democratic Party deserves what he gets.

There was no way the Democrats would allow streamlined oil and gas drilling. They want to kill fossil fuels - not aid in their production. There whole scheme of empire rests on killing off the old economic order and accepting the new one they have created (which greatly benefits themselves.) This would throw a lifeline to oil and gas. Manchin should have understood this was never going to happen.
