The cynical partisan opportunism of Democrats exhibited during the coronavirus economic crisis has been breathtaking.
Rather than move forward with quick, no-frills, massive $1.8 trillion dollar rescue plan, Democrats decided to hold the country hostage by trying to cram through a slew of lefty goodies that have absolutely nothing to do with the pending economic crisis.
As corporate boards struggle to figure out ways to keep their companies afloat, Nancy Pelosi is demanding that they spend time filling gender and racial quotas, down to “subcommittee assignments.”
As the transportation sector wrestles with a once-in-a-century economic disaster, Democrats are trying to compel airlines — who have seen a 90 percent drop in customers — to cut greenhouse gas emissions every year until they hit a 50 percent reduction.
If Pelosi keeps this up, airlines are going to see a 100 percent reduction soon enough.
As small business lay off workers, Democrats held up a federal loan program so they can pass more wind and solar tax credits, fund NASA’s environmental restoration group and study climate mitigation efforts. How any of that going to save jobs? What does this have to do with coronavirus shutdowns?
As millions of Americans are filing for unemployment benefits, crushing state government budgets, Democrats held up a rescue bill so that they can give government employee unions extraordinary collective bargaining power.
As millions of Americans wonder how they’re going to make their next mortgage payments, Pelosi demands that the Senate offer free internet, fund community newspapers and set up minority-run banks.
As hospitals wait for funding, Pelosi is worried about national minority and gender pay equity — an age-old liberal hobbyhorse. By prioritizing affirmative action over rescue funds, she is ensuring that more Americans of all races, genders and creeds will be unemployed.

“...Democrats want to remake the country...”
No, Democrats want to DESTROY the country...”
FDR tried it during the Great Depression and almost succeeded.
Pelosi is such a diabolical bitch. And Schumer... what a sick, evil bastard.
Just imagine what would have happened if Republicans had tried to hold up Obamacare in order to get voter ID or better immigration controls.
Just imagine what the Monica Media would have said, how it would have been covered.
Hanging is too good for those scoundrels.
Most of the dem presidential candidates had plans to “transform America” or implement “deep structural changes”, this is just another expression that.
It were better to leave that money with the moneylenders than let the Democrats do their takeover with it. For them it seems a golden opportunity to undo some of what DJT has accomplished and put themselves on the road to the takeover they crave.
Perhaps it is time to destroy Democrats... They want to hide behind the Constitution, until they can overturn it.
take back the house
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are asking for war and their deaths
Demo-expletive-crats see this thing as their chance to rebuild their plantation.
obviously the liberals are not yet feeling enough pain and worry.
CORRECT-Democrats seek to "DESTROY" not "remake" the country. Wake up America!
Never let a crisis go to waste
This makes me as angry as I’ve ever been. It’s amazing that they would DARE to do something like this. I hope President Trump rips them a new one.
We are Burning Down the House to stop the Chinese Corona Virus and Pelosi and Schumer are Dumping Gasoline on it.
The Demon-crats couldn’t care less about the American People. They see the Coronavirus only as a weapon they can use in the ongoing cold civil war.
I’d call them scumbags, but then I’d have to apologize to bags filled with scum.
