As my pal and Townhall colleague Guy Benson commented, “Pure politics.” Why did Nancy Pelosi choose now to come down from her $2.5 trillion demand for COVID-19 relief? As I mentioned earlier and as a reporter reminded Pelosi this morning, the August proposal from the Problem Solvers Caucus offered more money than the centrist “framework” proposal does now, and would have avoided the economic damage over the last couple of months. So why negotiate on a figure that’s only 36% of what Pelosi demanded for the last six months?
Simple, Pelosi replied. Donald Trump lost the election, and now she’s willing to deal:
“Perhaps you missed what I said earlier: Joe Biden pledged to crush the virus,” she snapped at a reporter, saying unlike Donald Trump, the president-elect wants to pass an even larger economic stimulus package after he takes office next month.
In her telling, embracing a $900m package introduced this week by a group of Democrats and Republicans is a reflection of new realities – and incoming Democratic chief executive and coming coronavirus vaccines.
“Don’t characterize what we did … as a mistake,” Ms Pelosi said of her months-long holding out for the kind of $2trn measure her chamber passed earlier this year but was blocked by the White House and Senate Republicans. “It was a decision, and it’s taken us to a place we can do the right thing. … I’m very proud of where we are.”
Total. Garbage. What makes this even more total garbage is that she’s essentially crediting Joe Biden with the vaccine, which is an absurdity beyond belief. It’s a “total game changer,” Pelosi says, even though it was Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed program that created the game-changer. It’s also been well-known that the vaccines would come before the end of the year, and almost arrived before the election itself.
Furthermore, Trump wasn’t an obstacle to spending more on relief — he was mainly Pelosi’s ally on that, even if he thought some of the spending priorities should be different.
Trump did not lose the election you stupid member of the Stupid Jackass Party Please check on you Idiot Indicator Megaphone Mouth
So getting a vaccine in record time, keeping our mortality rates below the average, and recovering our economy quicker and better than any other first world country isn’t “crushing” the virus?
Epic win for Donald Trump.
And I thought the Democrats and their drones said debt is a bad thing. So they want more of it?
Democrats are Marxist scum. They will be handled (legally), in time.
Democrats should be so proud of the miserable, trashy skank Pelosi. In every aspect, Democrats have endangered lives and livelihood for political gain. They’ve withheld aid to those needing it the most while supporting political violence and terrorism against citizens. They deserve no support or respect.
Inflicting pain and hardship on tens of millions of Americans who are paying a price for her comrades’ lockdowns just to flaunt her power. An evil, evil bitch who wouldn’t be Speaker next year if we would have had a free and fair election last month..
While she shuts down businesses and kills jobs, fish-faced Maxine Waters shovels a quarter million dollars of campaign funds to her daughter.

It’s not the first time and, of course, POS Pelosi turns a blind ethical eye.
