Once, when buying a car, I walked out and got a better deal. Called home to get the okay: What, you only walked out once? I walked out again, was chased down again in the parking lot, and I got an even better deal. I suspect this is what Manchin is up to, and that he will eventually agree to some lf a scaled back BBB. I suspect he knows now, or will eventually conclude, that this will be the best of all possible outcomes for him.

Do ceramics companies still make those kitschy presidential portrait dinner plates? Will Joe Manchin be shown as portrait 46.5? Oy!

Is he planning on a future presidential library in Beckley or Morgantown? Yes, probably - he's loving his serendipitous fame. He really loves himself more than his constituents.
