The president met with House Demos on Capitol Hill at 3:00 p.m., or knowing him 3:30 or 4:00, and emerged to say that a deal was as much as weeks away. So Manchin gets his fucking "pause". Really, this is best. The deadlines were all Nancy's, the joinder, and then decoupling, of the votes, all her doing. What was she going to do, hold a goddamned and torpedo both? They've been working long and hard, emotions are frayed, positions are getting set in artificial concrete, they need a goddamned break.
“I’m telling you, we’re going to get this done,” Mr. Biden said at the Capitol after huddling with Democrats who have been feuding over the two bills. He added: “It doesn’t matter when. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in six minutes, six days or six weeks. We’re going to get it done.”
Exactly right, "It doesn't matter when."
