Pelosi plays chicken with House Progressives, schedules three votes for next week that "must pass"

[CDDP]

This is a risky move, as House progressives have vowed to vote against the infrastructure deal unless it's done in tandem with the $3.5 trillion 'Build Back Better Act" - which was Pelosi's original plan until a group of nine moderate House Democrats insisted on separate votes for the infrastructure bill and the partisan $3.5t bill which can only be passed via reconciliation - a budgetary procedure which only requires a simple majority.

In a Sunday appearance on ABC's "This Week," Pelosi said that it "seems self-evident" that the $3.5 trillion figure will go down.

"Yeah that seems self-evident. That seems self-evident" she said on ABC's "This Week" when asked if she would acknowledge that there would be a lower total for the package," she said, adding "I think even those who want a smaller number support the vision of the president."

"We have to find our common ground, respectful of each other’s views. This isn't about moderates versus progressives." (it totally is).

Should be plenty of rrrreeeeee this week

 

[Rebarcock.]

I wonder if any sneak through

 

[America 1st]

They are gonna have to lift the debt ceiling with reconciliation. Likely gonna have to do the whole process again just for that and they’ve already admitted they wouldn’t be able to get it done before default.

Either that or the amend the current reconciliation package and pass it which is even more unlikely at this point.

WTF??? Manchin doesn't want to spend 3.5 trillion and that makes him a fascist?

They equate being unable to pass the John Lewis act, gun legislation, amnesty for illegals, and the full 7T reconciliation bill they wanted all on him and Sinema.

Libs think they’ve comprised by coming down to 3.5T.

If the hardcore commies in the House hold to their guns things will get interesting. All the whack jobs have to do is not vote for anything until they get their $3.5 trillion bill passed. My guess is they will fold or some Republicans will vote to pass the smaller infrastructure bill.

 

[America 1st]

They honestly don’t care that she is their best candidate in 2024 and beyond.

Their hubris is overwhelming. I honestly never expected them to handle EVERYTHING this poorly.

Has a party in control of both chambers and the executive branch EVER bungled things THIS much?

 

[tiderollsonu]

If they end the filabuster there will be a full on meltdown come next year. Cocaine mitch will be unrelenting with the majority back and no filabuster (which Dims have used 10x more than pubs)

The previous administration and the one before that. No none seems to get anything done during the super majority.

Trump signed 117 bills into law in his first year all while having to deal with the Russia Hoax.

I agree that the GOP did him dirty still with how they held out on him.

OLBERMANN can’t die soon enough.

Edit: Same with Pelosi

Olberman is a bad person. He litter ali picks the worst takes possible and just runs with them and then spikes the ball on an infant baby.

If only he could have stuck to Sports Center circa 1990 he could have been a decent human being. Now if is just one of the almighty "elite" who thinks his shit doesn't stink.

@America 1st Or someone else would you be so kind to give me a short summary of what is going on with these 3 votes this week?

The only one that might pass is the bipartisan infrastructure deal since it’s already passed the Senate.

The other two are DOA.

They are going to have to use reconciliation to raise the debt ceiling which means they either go through the process of amending the current bill and getting it passed before default or pass a separate reconciliation bill just for the debt ceiling.

The current 3.5T bill wont pass before then and attaching the debt ceiling (regardless or raising it or suspension) wont move it either. Would actually make it harder to move even tho some Dims think it would move Manchin for some reason lol. They would barely have enough time to make those amendments before default if they started today because it would need to go back through committees and then we would need another votearama in the Senate.

If they go with a separate reconciliation bill for just the debt ceiling (which more and more Dims are realizing they’ll have to do) then they need to get it going asap because they’re already not gonna get it done before default.

We are in a bad place right now as a country because the Dims simply cannot govern effectively and it might put us into default for the first time ever. The risk this time is higher than it’s ever been and honestly I think the GOP needs to hold the line on this. It would be awful for the economy but it would completely sink Puddin and the Dims.

Someone please throw that cunt into a bottomless dumpster. Right now goddammit - right fucking now!

Sleep well ChicagoFats - here is what is being attempted by the mastermind mobster who controls America's most dangerous organized crime ring: The "democrats" are working feverishly around the clock to try and embezzle as many billions of taxpayer dollars as they can!

That means your money ChicagoFats. That mean MY money too.

We only need a handful more democrats who simply need to wake up and get off their fat asses to do what is clearly the best for America and vote NO. This is the easy was to victory and how we can defeat them without putting our boots in their ass.

Or, there is another way that would get huge ratings on FOX. Let a Republican movement, in full camo gear, gather some old but trusty political weapons and give the reeking, rotting flesh thieves the whole 9 yards from a 50 cal (like the famous B-29 had in its open bay door in WW2). Talk about roaches scurrying off into the dark with the big bad lights from a 50 cal come on!



That is another wonderful way to ensure stopping this heinous crime. We can watch FOX and get to revel in a gory end to their frigging malfeasance.

@ChicagoFats
Charles Shmuck confirmed in a phone call Monday, with The Speaker and The CiC, that it would take 3-4 weeks to do another reconciliation process.

If they don’t start movement on this by the end of this week things are gonna get painful.

The Squad. They have true pubic political power and capital. Pelosi on the other hand is a worn out old style politico cunt. When she takes her Depends diaper off once a week, her pussy lips hit the floor with a loud, wet smack sound.

If this comment excites you, put a gun to your head and do the right thing.
