Description: During Chuck Schumer's speech on the Senate Floor prior to Republicans and Democrats finally agreeing to pass an extension of the debt ceiling, Senator Joe Manchin is shown facepalming in the background. Following the speech during the vote, Republican Senators John Thune and Mitt Romney are seen confronting Schumer and seemingly making fools of themselves. Joe Manchin is an opponent of many of Biden's budget reconciliation social infrastructure proposals along with fellow Democrat Kyrsten Sinema. In the wake of Donald Trump, these type of cringeworthy off the rails angry outbursts seem all too common in a Congress that rarely acts in the best interest of everyday Americans.
