House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) worked to scupper the phase-three coronavirus relief package on Sunday after Majority Whip James Clyburn (D., S.C.) told caucus members last week that the bill was a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.
Clyburns comments came on a Thursday call featuring more than 200 House Democrats, during which caucus members laid out a list of provisions they wanted to be included in the Senates trillion-dollar package.
Republicans have said that Democrats have reportedly demanded increased bargaining powers for unions, as well as environmental regulations for airlines and more wind and solar tax credits.
Pelosi flew into Washington, D.C. over the weekend to add demands to negotiations, a move that Senate Republicans have cited as the reason why the procedural vote to fast-track the legislation fell by a party-line vote on Sunday night.
Speaking after the vote, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) slammed Democrats for playing politics in a time of crisis. 14
All of a sudden, the Democratic leader and the speaker of the House shows up and were back to square one, McConnell said, saying the shift amounted to obstruction.
Were fiddling here, fiddling with the emotions of the American people, fiddling with the markets, fiddling with our health care. The American people expect us to act tomorrow, McConnell said. And I want everybody to fully understand if we arent able to act, itll be because of our colleagues on the other side continuing to dicker when the country expects us to come together and address this problem.
It means Democrats are convinced that there will no wide spread corona virus epidemic
“Dem Rep. Told Colleagues Coronavirus Bill Is Tremendous Opportunity to Restructure Things to Fit Our Vision [Clyburn- SC]”
Dem Rep. [Clyburn- SC] Told Colleagues Coronavirus Bill Is Tremendous Opportunity to Restructure Things to Fit Our Vision of our great SOCIALIST future !
Thus spoke Comrade Clyburn....
If nothing passes so be it. Trump can blame the Democrats and not add 3 trillion to our debt over the next few months.
All I feel like commenting are swear words aimed at the Left. Selfish, power tripping ba$t@rds.
Pelosi is tearing up the fabric of America.
She’s attempting to. She will fail and fail SPECTACULARLY!.................
Democrats are deliberately delaying things because they are hoping for a recession, if not a depression. The Great Depression is what set us on the road towards socialism in the first place. When people are scared, they value the hope of security (a false hope) over freedom and independence.
When Susan Collins rips the Dems, you know it's bad for them.
When this episode is over, and it will be sooner than anybody expects, the political landscape will be littered with the bodies of Commie-Democrats far and wide............even in the media........
And the Brits voted out Churchill after WWII, instead favoring socialism and “free” healthcare.
Which proves once again the saying “Dont let a crisis go to waste” the Dems will do ANYTHING, even induce a mass panic over a VIRUS that has most likely been here for MONTHS, in order to impose their radical agenda..tell me what does the carbon footprint have to do with coronavirus, what does abortion on demand have to do with coronavirus, it doesnt, but the Dems see this as their chance to sneak in as much BS as possible so even if they lose in November it wont matter their agenda will be implemented anyway
Yep, and if the American people follow suit, we will be stuck with the disaster. Why do people always think big government can take care of them and solve all their problems? It always fails.
3 trillion is insane.
Would be nice to get a itemized list of each cost.
About a 50-100 billion a week would cover, the previously working, non-working.
And there should be a clean bill just for that.
I called and emailed my Rat senators Spartashit and Bob The Crook Menendez. I urge everyone to do the same.
Grow a spine Mitch you coward. Dump cloture and filibuster rules. Then pass things on a simple majority. You did it for judges, why not for the ‘crises?
I think you're right about that regarding consumer spending. But I'm guessing the stock market will take five or more years to recover the 10,000 points it shed over the past couple of weeks. The air has come out of that balloon I'm afraid. I hope I'm wrong though, and that's always a good bet.
I HATE THE _______.
I WISH ____________.
AMERICANS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO STAND UP AND FINALLY _______!
WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF DEMS AND DEEP STATE COLLUSION AND __________________!
I WISH SOROS AND OTHER ELITISTS__________!
I never lose track of the fact that whether one is discussing Marx or Pelosi etc. the above quote is the core of collectivist belief. Only in the midst of an extremely consequential dilemma would anyone but a hack politician, blinded by ideology, be fighting for the tripe the Rats want to put into a Coronavirus bill. One can only hope Pelosi's etc. current BS will wake up the real America.
Democrats are unmitigated, irredeemable pieces of crap!
If now we cannimpeach and remove any democrat leader formobvious obstruction by porking up a bill with non-related political items, it would be now, under extreme, govt-self-declared, emergency conditions.
