At 1:00am on August 25th, Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats came to an agreement on a massive spending proposal. The Senate previously passed a $1.5 trillion “infrastructure” bill, and a group of 9 House moderates -led by Josh Gottheimer- wanted to see it pass. However, the far-left progressive caucus wanted their $3.5 trillion spending package which includes Green New Deal spending passed as part of the total budget agenda.
Representative Gottheimer’s group did not concur with the House $3.5 trillion spending proposal and saw no-way for it to pass the Senate.
An internal deal was struck amid the Democrats for Gottheimer’s coalition to agree to advance a rules change with two conditions on that August 25th late night discussion {GO DEEP}:
(1) Pelosi would have to promise to bring the $1.5 infrastructure bill to a vote on September 27th; and (2) Any larger GND/”Human Infrastructure” bill ($3.5 spending package) would need to be structured to pass the Senate.
Again, back on August 25th, the ‘moderate’ Marxists (for lack of a better term) could see that AOC’s progressive caucus spending bill was unlikely to pass the Senate in its current form. To get the Gottheimer group on board, House Speaker Pelosi agreed to the two conditions, as negotiated. To appease the AOC nuts, everyone agreed to tie both the $1.5 trillion infrastructure and the $3.5 trillion spending boondoggle together.
Fast forward through the next four weeks. The Senate struggled to come to any agreement as Senator Manchin (WV) and Senator Sinema (AZ), along with others, balked at the insufferable nature of the $3.5 trillion blueprint that would remake the entire U.S. economy and end up with a massive $5+ trillion deficit. Eventually both Manchin and Sinema tapped-out, there would be no way to compromise with the far-left moonbat caucus who were dug in.
Because the second point in Gottheimer’s deal (House bill must be able to pass the Senate) was not met, the entire process came unraveled. Suddenly, Pelosi finds herself having to renege on the promise to bring the $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill to a vote on September 27th. As the deadline passed, Pelosi tried to save face -en process- by saying the vote would be likely on Friday October 1st.
With public support for the office collapsing at an astounding rate, Joe Biden attempted to insert himself and his weak-sauce leverage at the last minute. It didn’t help. The $3.5 trillion spending priority quickly turned into a dead fish, rotting in blueprint outline form without ever making it to ‘reconciliation’ legislative language.
As a consequence, Pelosi’s original agreement with Josh Gottheimer (NJ) leaves him in the same position as Bart Stupak in 2010.
In the aftermath of Nancy Pelosi’s ObamaCare lies, former Representative Bart Stupak (Michigan) and the entire 19 member Blue-Dog caucus were wiped out in the 2010 mid-term election. Democrats actually lost a total of 63 seats in the U.S. House (biggest crushing defeat since 1938) and lost 6 seats in the Senate during that 2010 mid-term.
The August 25th promise to bring the $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill to the House floor on September 27th was a lie. Democrats are by nature totalitarian dictators, and just like Bart Stupak, Josh Gottheimer was threatened by Pelosi and House leadership to go along and get his group to vote in support of Pelosi’s massive scheme.
Josh Gottheimer, and the 9 members of the ‘moderate Marxist’ coalition, held up their end of the agreement and supported Pelosi with the two reasonable terms in place. However, Gottheimer and his group are now left to recognize just how extreme and dangerous the AOC-wing has become.
The Speaker of the House lied to Gottheimer in an effort to manipulate his support. This is the zero-sum strategy Democrats always deploy. Pelosi never had any intention of living up to her end of the bargain unless her larger objectives were met. Democrats are devious and they don’t have boundaries in their fight. The ‘ends‘ justify any ‘means‘.
Democrats must be taken out of power; they are dangerous…. and, based on increased public sunlight, the current polling indicates an awakened nation is noticing.
In the interim, Pelosi is deploying her familiar UniParty tactic. She is baiting the Republican and opposition to attack the Democrats for their lack of cohesiveness. Pelosi wants the nastiest, snarkiest, most hate-filled attacks possible. Then she will use the attacks against Democrats to circle the wagons and deploy her demand, a guilt and shaming move, to save-face for the entire Democrat political apparatus.
Pelosi’s strategy usually works…. But will it work this time?
She is without a doubt satan’s mistress.
She looks over 10000 years old because of the demons that drive her
Satan has many “children” in Washington DC doing his will to whom I speak John 8:44 too.
They should vacate the chair…
It’s funny how these people think they can just make it up as they go along and that once their rules are in place everyone will fall in line and it will be all peaceful and perfect. Are they ignorant to the fact that the same unruly people they leashed on America and her Constitution will be the same people to tell them to fk themselves? If they think Americans don’t have any fight in them, they have another thing coming. The 2022 election will be an inflection point. Either the will of the people will be heard at the ballot box, or it will be heard by the sound of the largest standing fully armed citizen militia in the history of the planet. We are a patient people and we prefer to do things the fair, right and proper way. Take those options off of the table and I promise they will see just how much fight the American people have in them. They know not what they do.
Nancy Pelosi is the scorpion.
Her caucus is the frog.
It’s what she does.
Pelosi has committed Sedition against the people of the US since the beginning of Obama’s second term.
She should be charged, tried, & convicted! And yet she continues without remorse or Responsibility!
They are above the law. It pains me to say that, but no matter what a politician does do they get prosecuted for it? NO. Time and time again we see this from the elected Uniparty swamp creatures. THE LAW DOES NOT APPLY TO THEM! Occasionally a piece of low hanging fruit will be sacrificed for the public to see. The other side of that coin is 99% of the actions of the Uniparty go unchecked, unfiltered, and with no accountability to nobody but their own personal pocket, and how they can prosper from these actions.
Pelosi is the “Whore of Babylon” in the bible.
Thank you Sundance for your insightful comments on this.Once again you bring clarity to what is really occurring in DC for us outsiders to the sausage making.
I keep waiting for her to catch wuflu and die.
Stoli Pelosi
Can’t wait until she goes away.
This is so rich. Bart Stupak was a weak stupid human. And he got what he rightfully deserved. His vote on Obummercare put the blood of babies on his hands (and I believe he was a “Catholic”) as well.
Nancy Pelosi is evil incarnate. She is a disgusting human, but she isn’t weak or stupid. That’s why she was able to destroy Stupak. I only hope she is unable to get these bills passed, because if she does, then it’s the end of the US as we know it. We won’t be able to vote our way out of it, for sure.
Thank you, Sundance, for all your dissecting of this. You always make it so clear!
Gee who can argue with an agenda that will destroy the America that is the envy of the world and create a new Venezuela. We must not attack the Demorats. Oh heavens no, the Marxists will be seen for what they are if we ignore them and do not say a word.
All righty, by the way I have a time share investment for you in Malabo for a mere 800k. Surely someone as sophisticated and brilliant will immediately invest in this once in a lifetime opportunity.
