House Speaker Nancy Pelosi threw a political tantrum on Twitter, scolding Republicans in the Senate for putting “lives and livelihoods” at risk by not holding a vote on her party’s $3 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the bill “reads like the Speaker of the House pasted together random ideas from her most liberal members and slapped the word ‘coronavirus’ on top of it.”
Democrats are trying to keep the hysteria level about the coronavirus ratcheted up in order to panic the Senate into passing trillions in new spending that may not even be necessary — or desirable. Democrats have stuck a liberal wish-list of policies in with the cash payouts that Trump would be forced to swallow in order to get the cash into the pockets of voters.
That tactic might have worked in the early days of the pandemic, but it’s not likely to work now.
Kennedy suggested even with major changes he does not believe it would be likely to gain majority support in the Senate, with Republicans having been “so shocked” when they saw it.
“The reason is, I think Speaker Pelosi overplayed her hand. I mean her bill is so grandiose, it’s not a coronavirus bill. It’s basically a remake of Western civilization bill. ”
Indeed, radical liberal House members see this as their last chance — perhaps in a generation — to “transform” America into a socialist paradise. But the panic has passed. We may still be in a crisis situation, but the sort of measures that were necessary two months ago aren’t needed now.

Twisted freak.
They used to get away with saying stuff like this with Lott, Frist, and Boehner, but not with President Trump at the helm.

The solution for these Rats is to throw someone else’s money against the wall.
” But the panic has passed”. In other words the jig’s up.
Out of $3 trillion I’m not getting any off it. The previous monies helped some, but overall didn’t prevent many from economic ruin. I say kill the whole thing.
Planned parenthood got a lot of the last round, shows you even without this bill they managed to steal money form us
“Political Retribution” is an apt description for Pelosi and her House Democrat behavior since 6 November 2016 for the high crime of exposing Hillary as an entitled witch!
Sociopath
Can’t understand normal thinking.
Cruella deVille come to life, only difference is that Nan is looking for a coat made from skins of the sacrificed Unborn. Hideous, skanky.
Good Lord this gets old. The House introduces a bill with outrageous spending aimed at their supporters. They know it has no chance of passing. Then once it fails they use it for a photo op. Who would want to live a life of total charade like this?
OF COURSE SHE DID! That was the reason for the bill to start with, so dim-0s could say, look what we tried to give yall and Republicans would not allow.
It was NEVER intended to pass the Senate.
Nanzi and the Dem mob are running the House like a classic mob-type “Clip Joint”.
Taxpayers are being tricked into paying good money from their hard work, and receive in return nothing but poor Congressional services that are fatally flawed.
We are looking at Democrat abuse of power and a level of Democrat party corruption that makes the Nixon episode look like child’s play.
Democrats offer little for the country. They point the finger and want people to be victims. They do little and expect people to vote for them.
A weak politician is searching for relevance, searching for credit
Choke on it, Nancy.
Why can’t the mealy-mouthed Republicans ever respond to this sorry excuse for a speaker and turn her words around on her...she is the one putting people’s lives and livelihoods in danger by putting forth non-serous legislation.
(Cue Biden voice: “Come on, man!”)
