Pelosi, AOC Warn Moderate Democrats to Stop Voting With the GOP
NY Mag ^ | Ed Kilgore

Earlier this week the Democrats now running the House of Representatives strutted their stuff with passage of a bill aiming at the ancient liberal target of the gun background check “loophole” for private sales. It was passed by a 240-190 margin on what was basically a party-line vote. But before that vote, Republicans offered an unexpected “motion to recommit” the bill to add language instructing law enforcement officials to notify ICE if an “illegal immigrant” attempted to buy a gun. Twenty-six Democrats voted with Republicans in favor of that motion, and embarrassed House leaders added the language as an amendment to keep the bill from dying then and there.

Subsequently House Democrats met to discuss the incident (the second successful MTR maneuver by Republicans in the brief period since Nancy Pelosi took the gavel), amid some talk of amending the House rules either to eliminate MTRs or provide members with more time to consider them. But according to the Washington Post, recriminations broke out between members angry at the defections on the ICE vote, and defectors angry that Democrats from safer districts weren’t sufficiently sensitive to their political needs.

In other words, Nanzi Piglosi wants “all” the Marxist RATs to “not give a damn about the country.” Do whatever it takes to acquire their own Marxist power over the American people!!

Great 2020 platform for the Marxist RATs:

“It’s all about us and our quest for power; to hell with the American people and to hell with the country.”

Sound like a winning platform to you?

I don’t know about that. She has Hillary’s ruthlessness without Hillary’s tin ear on politics. She might purge several members of congress to encourage the others. It only takes 1 or 2 to cow the others.

“...Pelosi may be a one-term speaker.....”
From your keyboard to God’s ear.

These “moderate” Dems ran for office posing as Republicans, saying they weren’t interested in impeaching the President, and they weren’t going to support Pelosi for Speaker. They lied.

I could see Pelosi stripping the minority of all rights. Starting with these various motions and progressing to prevent the minority from serving on committees.

If she could, she wouldn’t allow the opposition to vote.

Pelosi is like the old Kaiser. Dolph did an end-run around the old guys and took power by lightning force. AOC appears ready to do whatever it takes to make it happen RIGHT NOW, and we may find Nancy disappearing in a fiery plane crash.

Defacto, she is Number 1. Who else is dominating the news and developing policies that Presidential candidates must endorse?
