Well, it was predicted that this would happen. Less than a full month after it was announced Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) came to an agreement with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in order to get the misnamed "Inflation Reduction Act" passed, that deal may already falling apart. Such a reveal comes one week after President Joe Biden signed the bill into law.
The deal that took place between Manchin and Schumer, as well as Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, assured Manchin that there would be a separate method approved that would involve permits for energy infrastructure, including gas pipelines.

If Manchin believed anything Schumer said he is an idiot.

Schumer is a total liar, and if Manchin bought the lies, he's a sucker. More likely, this is a cover story for Manchin, "I was robbed", and he is getting a large bribe through a back channel.

Ohhhhh...... I don't think that Manchin ever believed or bought into the so called "deal". Manchin knew that it was never going to happen. Maybe with a republican Congress.
Which begs the question: WHAT DID Manchin get for his vote? OR, what do the Democrats have on him?

Sure Manchin had a deal, until he didn't. Schumer agreed to what Manchin wanted. Unfortunately, the rest of the liberal Democrats were not part of the Schumer / Manchin agreement. Schumer could agree and promise all he wanted but as every person with a single living brain cell should know; once the ink was dry on the Inflation Reduction Act (or whatever they called it to deceive people) any deal would be off or suddenly unworkable. Manchin has been around long enough to know that this would occur.

No surprise. Manchin was a traitor to his principles and to what he told his state he would do. And is usually the case, the traitor was eventually screwed over by those he was a traitor for.

Like they say, "get it in writing". Secret backroom verbal deals are hardly legal or binding. Then again the Demoncrats hated Manchin for his previous votes and are now getting their revenge. Too bad WE are all going to pay the price.

Chuck The Schmuck will tell anyone any lie to get what he wants at the moment.
As soon as The Schmuck gets what he wants, the other half of the deal is suddenly 'forgotten'.
In dealing with The Schmuck, you have to get what YOU want FIRST, THEN give The Schmuck what The Schmuck wants.
Otherwise, you wind up like Manchen (assuming that he was cheated, and was not in on it all along) or (time after time) the Pubbies,
Come to think of it, all those times The Schmuck pulled a 'fast one' on The Turtle..... I wonder how many times The Turtle was 'in on the steal' all along.
Hmmmmm.....

Are we really this F'n stupid? Manchin plays his part well in the Kabuki Theater that is our government. Good cop , bad cop. All players are on the same team they just switch jerseys once in a while to make us believe there are principles in play. There are not!!¡

The House Dems were not part of the deal. Manchin was played, and Schumer will tell him that he does not control the House and he should go whine to Nancy.
Joe, good luck explaining this one to your voters.

The article is speculation-heavy and fact-free. But make no mistake that Manchin's deal with the devil will not favor him or a pipeline in West Virginia when it is contrary to the almighty specter of Climate Change.

Manchin had better not start complaining about how his “deal” isn’t being honored by Democrats. If he didn’t know they would reneg on the deal, he’s dumber than I thought. He doesn’t know by now that his Party is populated by liars, thieves, and decepticons?

The deal hasn’t fallen apart. Schumer had no intention of keeping this promise. Manchin should have known this. Democrats are great for promising, but never ever delivering on their promises. And, it is always somebody else’s fault for not delivering. Just ask the MSM. They back up everything Democrats say.

You could see this coming. Manchin is now trying to save himself in WV. I rather doubt the WV voters will buy his story. Schoomer is the snake in the grass and you went right for him. Sorry, Manchin, you sold your soul to the devil on this one.

Manchin got played. I hope whatever he received for his betrayal of the American people was worth it. I don’t understand how the people in his state can continue to support him. A man willing to stand up to an out of control government is someone to admire but one who wheels and deals with the lives of his constituents is not worthy of their support or respect. The fact that politicians can make these horrific decisions and never be held accountable is appalling. It gives them undeserved power and diminishes the wants and needs of those who actually vote for him. Joe Manchin is not a man to be respected or admired. He is, like most politicians an arrogant self-serving parasite feeding off taxpayer largesse.

Any democrat who is complaining...now...is holding out for more money in a brown paper bag coming their way....manchin needs some positive news to sell his state...and this smells like a payoff for more money ...or bridges that go nowhere in his state....he can't be trusted...look at his record while in the senate...he cares only for himself...not his state...

If they double cross him it wouldn't surprise me if he switched parties and hands the Senate over to the Republicans.

The only contact Manchin will have with with West Virginia is the phone call to his Realtor to sell his house. He’s done with WV, his daughter got a degree, a CEO spot and millions after JM and his vermin D’s voted to require epi pens in schools, and now he got bought off by Chuckie.
He’s NEVER going back to his hometown….frankly, I am sure he despises the citizens of that State.
It’s hard NOT to despise people you’ve so consistently fooled.
