Note that lack of commitment to putting the bill up for a vote. Pelosi blew up the negotiations over the weekend by demanding consideration of her own pork-riddled $2.5 trillion plan. That was seen as perhaps a negotiating ploy to get Chuck Schumer more leverage — and it appears to have worked. Schumer went on CNN this morning to claim victory for Democrats with this agreement, and pledged that aid would immediately get to Americans because of their skillful negotiations to improve the CARES Act.
Now, Pelosi seems to be signaling that she won’t abide by Schumer’s agreement on the package. Not only will that slow down or stop the relief altogether, it leaves Republicans with no legitimate negotiating partners at all. Why did they bother to discuss the bill with Schumer in the first place if Pelosi wasn’t going to abide by the agreement? Basically, she is threatening to cut off any credibility Schumer has in future negotiations, and making him look like a fool on national television to boot.
Pelosi can’t be that foolish. Right? Right?

ANYthing to keep the President from solving this problem????????
I am pretty sure she as Pearl Harbored it at least twice.
She wants to gyrate the market a few times. Stir up panic when people see the gains reversed.
It’s what you do in a crisis... milk it like a cow!
Of course she will. You can bet the farm on that. However, the Democrat Party will not survive her hubris.
No, but she darn sure is that NUTS.
.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if they didn’t pass it and it turns out they didn’t need it anyway?
Impeach, or recall Pelosi. Schumer might get a clue, or take a leave of absence.
Mess with peoples pocket books this close to an election...they remember.
Can’t let a good crisis go to waste is the Rat way.
Having said that, the speaker would have been heavily involved in the background on the negotiations. She would be pretty insane to throw it all out the window. I think that would be touching the political third rail.
While I wouldn’t put anything past her, they were waiting on the final text. Which I think is still note been voted on in the senate.
Vacate the chair. Maybe I’m dreaming but there have to be at least 25 Democrats who find this outrageous if for no other reason than their own political fortunes - one of them could run and get the speakership with those 25 members and getting the Republicans to vote with them to oust Pelosi.
Then again, thinking there are that many Democrats with integrity is probably foolish...
You mean ask a remaining liberal.
I think that the Democrat party is shedding members and at this point if they are unable to get away with illegals voting they lose the house in November.
it is called”shorting the market”
Un fi savy peeps dont know this
And, NEVER FORGET, as things stand, she is RIGHT BEHIND Mike Pence for the Oval Office seat!
If that doesn’t start a Panic Pandemic, nothing will
I wonder if Schumer will tell Pelosi those black ops guys have got seven ways to Sunday to get her to go along.
“No, but she darn sure is that NUTS.”
“NUTS” - evil.
Pelosi got her shorts on.
Only she knows when they're coming off.
