House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is cracking the whip on Democrat House members, encouraging committee chairs to finish outlining their demands for the next coronavirus relief measure — a measure the Speaker has already signaled will feature Democrat Party agenda items like universal vote-by-mail.
“We have to think big,” Pelosi reportedly told her Democrat colleagues during a private call on Monday.
According to Politico, the Speaker pushed committee chairs to “finalize their portions” by “close of business Monday with hopes of pulling together a final package by week’s end, according to multiple Democratic lawmakers and aides.”
A timeline for the proposal has not been issued, as the House still has no firm date to return to Washington, DC.
Details of the measure, at this point, remain limited, but Democrats “privately admit the expansive legislation is more of a policy wishlist than anything,” Politico reported.
The coming legislation could be reminiscent of the 1,400 page pork-filled coronavirus relief proposal offered by Pelosi in March. That particular proposal contained party agenda items unrelated to the public health crisis. Democrats demanded increased fuel emission standards for airlines receiving funds, expansion of wind and solar tax credits, requirements for federal and corporate gender and racial diversity data, a bailout for the Post Office, restrictions on colleges from providing information about citizenship status, vote-by-mail and ballot harvesting, among other demands detailed by Breitbart News.
Politico added that Democrats hope to draft their legislation ahead of the Senate in order to establish the baseline for negotiations:

No negotiation, JUST SAY NO!
Everybody gets a pony.
This is when the President should come out and say:
NO NEW Corona Virus Legislation will be Signed, it will be VETOED unless it has a 2/3rds Majority of BOTH Houses.
When will the usps tracker number be out so I can buy some hay.
It’s not meant to be passed. It’s meant to be voted down in the GOP Senate so that the Democrats can go to people who are hurting in the fall and say, “We tried to help you but the Republicans voted it down.”
Nancy...Ain’t gonna happen.
The right should do the same. That way, nothing passes.
Can we parade around the likeness of her severed, bloody head for comedic relief?
She’ll cut your head off and you won’t even know YOU are bleeding says her smug spawn on the PROPAGANDIST PLATFORM...

The Democrats are the looters, taking advantage of the current disaster.
Exactly right.
They shove this crap out there knowing the lousy media will cover this and twist it.
Except for Jimmy. He's not "diverse."
We should throw rocks at Jimmy.
she will overreach, and create a monster that everyone recognizes as a disaster-in-the-making.
she’s unraveling more and more as these stimulus packages keep going out without her Divine Authorship.
It would be a breath of fresh air if when President Trump talks about the Democrat wish list if he would drop meaningless words such as Democrat and Establishment Republicans. Instead he should apply proper definitions to these wolves in sheep clothing Democrats should be described as ideological globalist socialists, some of them communists. As for Establishment Republicans , they too are ideological globalists. Both groups have in common a utopian desire to rearrange the world to their liking into a New World Order with themselves as the closest things to gods.
Let the Senate pack it with a wish list too.
Slash federal agency budgets by 20% and demand they spend 10% more on services than they do on employees.
Mandate the states give school vouchers to parents of children
Strip universities of research grants if they accept foreign research grants.
Limit the number of UN diplomatic visas to 3 per country.
Remove income taxes on wages earned through a person’s labor.
Repeal the 17th Amendment.
They’re going to slip an amnesty into one of these if this keeps up much longer, just wait for it.
I believe we all have a pony already. We may just have to dig a little deeper to get it. With all the horse shit we have been given lately, there is bound to be a pony somewhere.
