What a difference 60 days does not make.

Democrat Joe Manchin gives in and PULLS energy plan from spending bill to avert shutdown

Schumer, D-N.Y., had agreed to attach Manchin's pet project to a bill to fund the government in exchange for his vote on the Inflation Reduction Act

Amid opposition from both Republicans and the left, Manchin realized leaving in pipeline language could potentially trigger a government shutdown

Manchin votes for the Inflation Reduction Act because, inflation (that's gotten worse because of this stupid shit)

Machin votes for Spending Plan because, hell, lets' go for broke and spend even more money we don't have. Think of those Ukrainian kids that are escaping! 3 oblasts bailing, we have to keep those prisoners by sending more bombs to the faggot known as Zelensky, or Tiny Dancer to this anon
