The Thread To Vent On Nancy Pelosi & Her Hubris


Recommended Posts

 

 Pelosi: We’re launching a “bipartisan” select committee to oversee coronavirus response — not investigate it.

 

“Even if Pelosi is sincere at the moment, Schiff and Jerrold Nadler among others in her caucus will demand that this select committee expand its scope at some point.

 

The only way to prevent that from happening would be to have an equal number of Republicans and Democrats on the select committee.

 

Chances of that happening range somewhere between slim and none.”

I believe Slim just died of the Kung Flu...

PELOSI BARKS

Nancy Pelosi is Exhibit A in Kim Strassel’s Wall Street Journal Potomac Watch column “Pols Face a Coronavirus Test.” Subhead: “Who’s leading and who’s seeking political advantage? Here are the answers.” Pelosi is the leading example of what not to do:

Crises have a way of separating the leaderlike wheat from the opportunistic chaff. Coronavirus is the crisis of our time, and the political winnowing is something to behold.

 

Example: The Trump administration spent this week distributing ventilators, standing up small-business loans, dispatching hospital ships, erecting alternate care facilities, explaining virus modeling, revamping regulations to keep truckers on the road, and plastering the airwaves with information about hygiene and social distancing. Speaker Nancy Pelosi spent this week setting up a new House committee to investigate Donald Trump.

After citing Governors Cuomo and Newsom as counterexamples, Strassel returns to Pelosi:

Contrast this with Mrs. Pelosi, who seems to view the pandemic as one big political opportunity. She held up last week’s relief bill for days, attempting to cram into it unrelated election and climate provisions. She used a Sunday CNN appearance to accuse Mr. Trump of killing Americans. This week she announced a new special House committee that will “examine all aspects of the federal response to the coronavirus” and will have subpoena power. This is yet the latest Democratic machinery for investigating Trump and ginning up scandals.

 

“The little dogs and all,” King Lear complains as he struggles to hold it together in Shakespeare’s great play. “Tray, Blanch, and Sweet-heart, see, they bark at me.” Lear seems to be seeing things, but Pelosi is unfortunately for real. The little dogs bark but the caravan moves on.

ESSENTIAL READING ON DEMOCRATS’ ANTI-TRUMP CORONAVIRUS CHRONOLOGY:

 

Attorney Par Excellence Cleta Mitchell lays it out, excruciating (for Pelosi, et. al.) gaps and all:

 

“If Pelosi believes the president should have done something at the beginning, when exactly does she think was the ‘beginning’? Was it during the impeachment proceedings that Pelosi instigated? Should Pelosi bear some responsibility for what she perceives as the president’s failure to focus on the coronavirus back in January?

 

“The single most important step taken by President Trump was his closing of U.S. travel with China, which happened on Jan. 31, something the president reminds us at every briefing.

 

“He’s right, but what he doesn’t say is he made that decision at a time the CDC was assuring us the risk to America was low, the WHO was covering for China, Democrats were trying to impeach the president, and Biden was attacking the decision as xenophobic.”

I agree. Lay off the “non-essential” employees, and make all the regulation-suspensions permanent.

Even MSNBC can't stomach what Pelosi and Schumer are doing.

 

How effed up do you need to be as a Dem elected official to have MSNBC piss all over your efforts to screw the American people?

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the architect behind Democrats’ decision to block $250 billion in additional funding to small businesses suffering because of coronavirus-related lockdowns, now says there’s “no data” to support an influx of emergency cash, even as banks are reaching their lending capacity due to unprecedented demand for aid.

 

 

Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) moved to block Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) from passing the emergency bill by unanimous consent on Thursday morning. McConnell had hoped that the need for assistance would be evident enough that he would not have to call Congress back from recess to vote on the measure, but Democrats disagreed.

 

McConnell was left incensed, noting that the $350 Paycheck Protection Program fund, which guarantees entrepreneurs with fewer than 500 employees low-interest loans that will be forgiven if they use the money to keep workers on the payroll, is “on track to be depleted by the end of this month.”

This is what you get when you elect people how have never worked a day in their lives and have no clue what it means to run a business,

 

They care about themselves and their power. That's it.

 

This is another reason why you don't see many leftists here, @BullBuchanan. Their party is too stupid and embarrassing for leftists to show up to defend.

But Nancy isn't in the driver's seat.  She controls 1 of 3 bodies that have to sign off.  She doesn't learn though.  Impeachment and her last effort to dirty up the aid bill are recent lessons. 

Her past machinations could be somewhat hidden and without a lot of backlash. In this instance the backlash could be deadly.

Really makes one wonder, is she just miscalculating now, going senile, or getting desperate about something?

 

Her holding her breath until the R's caved and blaming them for the hold ups used to work.  Something's different now.

I'm guessing the DNC internal numbers are trending really badly for November.

She's desperate because the crisis is not as bad as they hoped -- thus, this won't be stopped/or pushed off until after the election:

This too from what I've heard from staffers on the DNC side. Joe is a dumpster fire, they know it -- and the crisis they morbidly hoped would help keep Joe's flaws from public view have only been accentuated with his bumbling attempt to maintain visibility.

President's name to be printed on relief checks

Beginning this month, Americans will see financial relief checks from the federal government’s $2 trillion stimulus plan flow into their bank accounts to assist them during the COVID-19 outbreak. But many college students and recent graduates were disappointed to find out they will not receive $1,200 from the government, even if they were affected by the pandemic.(AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File) Photo: Evan Vucci, Associated Press

The Treasury Department has ordered President Donald Trump's name be printed on stimulus checks the Internal Revenue Service is rushing to send to tens of millions of Americans, a process that could slow their delivery by a few days, senior IRS officials said.

The unprecedented decision, finalized late Monday, means that when recipients open the $1,200 paper checks the IRS is scheduled to begin sending to 70 million Americans in coming days, "President Donald J. Trump" will appear on the left side of the payment.

It will be the first time a president's name appears on an IRS disbursement, whether a routine refund or one of the handful of checks the government has issued to taxpayers in recent decades either to stimulate a down economy or share the dividends of a strong one.

 
 

Treasury officials disputed that the checks would be delayed.


So arrogant
