Someone Needs to Remind Nancy Pelosi That She’s Not In Charge

Someone needs to remind Nancy Pelosi that she’s not in charge of the country.

She seems to have forgotten this key detail as she responds to President Trump’s latest policies and plans regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, and it’s actually pretty hilarious to see how totally unaware she is of her relative insignificance.

Pelosi is drafting a fourth coronavirus relief package, to be introduced when Congress returns from recess in the spring, but it now appears that trillion dollar aid bill will be indefinitely delayed while she holds her chamber in recess.

Pelosi “signaled Thursday that the House is unlikely to return to session later this month, her clearest indication yet that Congress — like the rest of the country — could remain shuttered for weeks or even longer as the coronavirus crisis continues,” according to Politico.

How much do you want to bet that this fourth relief package is really just a heroic retelling of her bravely standing up to Trump when no one else would, and that she’s going to keep the House in recess until President Trump says he actually wants it to stay that way?

She also had harsh words for President Trump who has, reportedly, begun the process of convening a second coronavirus task force, this one charged with plotting a course to reopen the country and restart the economy. Trump has said before that he hopes to roll out a plan to lift coronavirus-related lockdowns as early as May first, subject to the advice of several of his top healthcare experts.

. . .

Pelosi wants the country in economic lockdown much longer, she told Politico.

“Nobody can really tell you that and I would never venture a guess. I certainly don’t think we should do it sooner than we should,” Pelosi said. “This has taken an acceleration from when we started this. Little did we know then that at this point, we’d be further confined.”

Imagine that. Nancy Pelosi wants to keep the country economically crippled as long as possible.

It’s almost like the economy has been one of Trump’s biggest talking points about the success of his presidency. Wait a second. . . does anyone remember if there’s some sort of election coming up?

On Thursday, Pelosi, who now says there will be little more than a skeleton crew of Federal legislators in Washington until at least May, stood in the way of an emergency relief bill that would have added $350 billion to the Paycheck Protection Program, a small business relief fund that is swifly running out of cash.

She implied, in her speeches Thursday afternoon, that she wanted the bill brought before the full House and Senate rather than passed by unanimous consent — something that can’t happen unless Pelosi gets all of her own members on the same page and in the same room. Small business owners may now have to wait for months to see additional relief funds.

Alright, now I’m really starting to think there’s something fishy going on here. It’s almost like Pelosi is trying to make things as sh*t as possible in America, for as long as possible, so that when November rolls around Trump is in charge of a thoroughly crippled economy in a country where people can’t even leave their homes without being beaten (WHICH IS WHERE WE’RE HEADED AT THIS RATE) so that the Democratic candidate can sweep in with promises of golden fountains and money trees and rainbows built on clouds of whipped cream.

I’m starting to think Pelosi cares more about her own career and scoring political points than the well-being of America.
