He’s not seeking re-election. He probably doesn’t give a shit.

He's referring to the article in this post where Manchin is on a Zoom call with some billionaire donors and it's implied that a cushy job where he counts fat stacks could be waiting for Blount if he plays ball.

What makes me laugh most at the recording is how Joe M. and Joe L. are assuming Roy won't get paid by somebody else that has the opposite view.

The old “we won’t support this unless it’s fully funded, and also we reject any potential source of funding” game.

With the Infra bill having passed the Senate, it will be interesting to see The Squad actually does attempt to block it in the House like AOC threatened.

It would be funny if that map was how they divided up the money.
Green gets a certain allotment.
Purple gets half of the green allotment.
Red gets nothing.
