Manchin says he’s not negotiating with Biden on spending bill

WaEx:

“There’s no negotiations going on at this time,” the West Virginia Democrat told reporters gathered near his Senate office Tuesday afternoon.

    … or …

    maybe you should consider NOT spending time on your Houseboat in DC … don’t want to find yourself floating face-down in the Potomac because of a ‘slip’ during a midnight stroll around the deck, would ya?

    And what is the case for a politician today can change drastically tomorrow, depending on the incentive.
