The Perils of Pelosi

When Republicans failed to deliver for the American people and lost their majority in the United States House of Representatives in 2018, a true poison was unleashed on the nation. For a second time, Nancy Pelosi became U.S. Speaker of the House and in her latest stint in this position she has been incredibly damaging to this country.

For months, she pursued a divisive and unnecessary impeachment of President Donald Trump. Instead of working to fight the coronavirus in January and February, congressional Democrats were only focused on impeaching and convicting President Trump. The Ukraine hoax which led to the flimsy impeachment charges was as ridiculous as the Russia hoax, but it did not matter to Democrats inflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

As the impossible dream was nearing an end, Pelosi, in an act of partisan rage, tore up the president’s State of the Union speech, the most disrespectful behavior ever displayed by a U.S. Speaker of the House on national television.

Since that time, Pelosi and the Democrats have been working non-stop to blame the president for an “almost sinful” response to the coronavirus, while pushing dangerous legislation to financially ruin the country.

Blame Pelosi’s mother. Her problems stem from the time her mother did not allow her an ice cream cone at age 3. She never got over it.

the word “cannabis” is used more often than the word “jobs” in the 1,815-page legislation.

I am not convinced the Republicans lost it in 2018. It may have been taken away.

The most egregious aspect of the bill is that there are no restrictions on illegal aliens receiving financial assistance. This once again shows that Democrats are totally uninterested in border security, fighting illegal immigration or in any way penalizing those who have broken our laws to enter the country.

Pelosi’s legislation includes $3.6 billion for states to enact mail-in balloting and early voting, causes advocated by Democrats.

What will it cost for dismantling the fence if they ever get back in office?

“Blame Pelosi’s mother.”

I blame Paul Ryan. As Speaker of the House he declined to aggressively fight Obama in Obama’s last two years. During the first two years of the Trump administration he publicly and privately worked against the President. Then, when he announced during the 2016 election season he was retiring and stepping down as speaker, he did not step aside for a new Speaker who would lead the GOP campaign to preserve the House in 2016. Instead, he stayed in place as a quiet figurehead and did nothing to enhance GOP chances of preserving the House majority. As a result of Ryan’s do nothing performance, the GOP lost the House and Pelosi got her second term as Speaker.

Paul Ryan put Pelosi in power for the second time. Intentionally.

Well, here’s the thing. Nancy Pelosi does not think what she is doing is “wrong” in her own eyes. But she is seized with this underlying notion that some grave error has occurred, and that circumstances do not allow her to take a long perspective on things. So she turns upon the nearest thing, which happens to be President Trump, and has attached all manner of ill intent upon what he is doing. This MUST be subverted, a prime directive with her.

It is the scorpion riding on the back of the frog while the frog is ferrying the scorpion across the river, and the scorpion delivers a fatal sting to the frog. The frog gasps out his lest breath, and says to the scorpion, “Why did you do that? Now we both die out here. Me of the poison sting, and you by drowning.” The scorpion hisses, “You knew I was a scorpion when you let me ride on your back. This is what I do, because I AM a scorpion.”

Nancy Pelosi sees herself as the river.

The decline of the American nation began about a generation after women were granted the right to vote. The Democratic Party has devolved into a collection of demented women and girly men. They have too much power.

If it weren’t for lawless Obama, then we probably wouldn’t have a great president like Trump imo.

And if it weren’t for corrupt, out of touch, quid pro quo Pelosi, Trump would probably have underestimated how vast the swamp that he is draining is imo.

Thank G-d for sending Trump.
