CONGRATULATIONS to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

[jc456]

Ugh, Lakhota, you might as well be a republican. I’m definitely curious what you think separates you from republicans besides you not liking their leaders like Trump and McConnell.

I mean it’s fine if you don’t like AOC or Bernie, but their political positions still matter.

I don't like radicals on either side. Our government isn't designed for rapid and radical change. Change comes methodically and slowly. Public opinion evolves slowly. Speaker Pelosi is the right person for the right time. The younger House members can learn from her experience before they take leadership.

then why did she lose the leadership? it was a repeated loss.

WHY is your AH leader McConnell not letting the bill to open gov't come to the floor ? They already with bi partisanship sent it to your other AH in the WH After conferring with scum coulter hanitty and limpaw he changes his mind?

I'll give you one guess. but you're too stupid to answer it. So, I'd rather just give you the answer so you can at least read it.

it won't make the floor because there is no funding for the boarder wall. Are you truly that stupid? try all you want to pound that square peg in the round hole dude. try and try. fund the wall or no deal. it is quite simple. BTW, a compromise has been made and the dems refused it. so it is them not willing to open back up the government. just so the markers are set correctly. Working visas for all DACA kids. all of em. three year visas? Hell, the dems aren't even for the DACA kids anymore. when one's hate is so severe that they can't help the people, alas, they are useless.

The bill is THE SAME one they all agreed on Why the change ???

and? I gave you the reason. take it up with the pres.

A great day for American democracy. What do you think?

Yeah because it worked out so well for the Democrats during her last stint as Speaker.

You'd think that the Critters from Crime Family-D would have learned their lesson in 2010 but apparently their days of slamming their own dicks in the car door aren't over yet.

Obama 2013 and Trump 2018. Are the shutdowns the same? Not exactly

By Jon Greenberg on Wednesday, January 2nd, 2019 at 3:18 p.m.


With no quick end to the recent federal government shutdown in sight, a Facebook post harking back to a 2013 shutdown under President Barack Obama has been shared over 71,000 times.

The Dec. 22 post from Trump-backer Kristy Greczkowski said, "Oct 2013, Obama shut down the government for 16 days to force Obamacare. A friendly reminder America. Secure our borders."

The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)

We thought we’d compare the two fiscal impasses.

A quick recap
In September 2013, two issues were in play, the Affordable Care Act and raising the debt ceiling –– the legal amount the government is allowed to borrow.

The Affordable Care Act, passed in 2010, was due to begin in earnest in 2014. The individual mandate requiring people to have insurance would come into force. Coverage would start for Americans who signed up through government insurance marketplaces (although the meltdown of the federal Healthcare.gov website was about to throw that step into chaos).

Republicans, primarily in the House, aimed to defund Obamacare. None of the 12 regular appropriation bills to pay for government operations had been passed. A group of 80 House Republicans signed a letter to House Speaker John Boehner saying this was the time to eliminate any dollars that would allow Obamacare to move forward.

Before the shutdown, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., warned that a shutdown would be a bad idea and in any event wouldn’t block most of Obamacare from moving forward.

We rated that claim Mostly True. Most key parts of the law – the insurance marketplace, the premium subsidies, and the taxes and regulations – would continue unimpeded.

But if Obamacare was one rallying cry, the debt ceiling turned out to be just as important. The government was closing in on the legal limit of $16.699 trillion in debt. Without the flexibility to borrow more, Washington faced the prospect of not being able to pay back Treasury notes as they came due. Republicans wanted broader spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt limit.

At the time, Republicans controlled the House, and Democrats held the Senate. Obama had said he would veto any bill that defunded Obamacare. His veto threat and the Democratic-controlled Senate doomed any measure that undermined the fledgling health care program.

The House passed several bills that eliminated Obamacare funding, and the Senate kept stripping out those provisions.

The government shutdown began on Oct. 1. On Oct. 15, the rating agency Fitch said the U.S. government’s credit worthiness would be reviewed. A downgrade would have dramatically increased borrowing costs.

You're making promises that history suggests the incompetent boobs from Crime Family-D can't keep.

The more likely outcome is that the dingbats in the HoR will spend two years chasing their own tails and chittering like the macaws that they are only too see the weasels from Crime Family-R utilize Princess Nancy's ugly mug as the poster child to remind the voters of everything that's wrong with Career Congress Rats and send her packing for a second time.

Nancy Pelosi Elected Speaker Of The House

House Democrats overwhelmingly cast their votes for the long-serving California representative on Thursday.

WASHINGTON ― After quashing a small revolt in her own caucus around Thanksgiving, Nancy Pelosi reclaimed the House speakership Thursday, becoming the first politician in 58 years to take back the gavel.

Pelosi was elected 220-192, with 12 Democrats voting for someone other than the California Democrat and three voting simply “present.”

Pelosi’s path back to House speaker wasn’t easy. Part of the reason Republicans were able to win back the House majority in 2010 was through a “Fire Pelosi” campaign that made her toxic in some Republican-leaning districts, and Republicans have run on a similar playbook for every election since, including in 2018.

A number of freshman Democrats made promises during the campaign to not support Pelosi if they were elected to Congress, and 10 stood by that vow, voting either “present” or for someone else.

A great day for American democracy. What do you think?

Finally, a senile Speaker! Great job Dems keeping Washington diverse!

She always did a great job; + thorough! Pelosi knows WTF she's doing unlike Boehner and Ryan! I've known her to pass 200+ pieces of legislation in her DEM. led Congress while Boehner started out his tenure losing his first 3 votes! It's like these idiots on "the right" can't count! Then of course there's the self-sabotage with their more radical conservative members who work against the party's best interest, not to mention THE PEOPLE! I just hope she's not feeling her oats so much as to put "that $1" for "the WALL" in the budget to get "Trump's goat!"

no

they shut it down because they didn't want modifications made to it.

And we don’t want modifications made to the current budget
Republicans want a wall......include funding as part of the budget process
They had two years of total control of Congress and did nothing

Why not just have Mexico pay for it ?

For the people on site who have a BRAIN, the Dems lost in 2010 by the constant haranguing of the ACA by Republicans making the law look bad! Now that OBAMA-care is on the books and helping people, even those same scumbag Republicans are touting it and saying they're for coverage of pre-existing conditions and keeping kids on parent's insurance until they're 26 yo.! The hypocrisy is mind-numbing, but they still took advantage of the populous' naivete and stupidity!
