Fact check: No, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi isn't worth $196 million

https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-no-house-speaker-172533305.html

 

Who said she was? Rhetorical question - I don't fucking care. The sight of Nancy Antoinette gloating over her freezer full of expensive ice cream while regular American's lives were being ruined by her party governors pretty much cements her White Privilege.

 

No, not $193 Million.
Could be over $220 MILLION or in debt $40 MILLION.
See, thats how the reporting rules for congress work. Just about worthless in the end.

The best guesstimate is Nancy Antoinette is worth over $100 MILLION.

Not bad, eh?

House votes to pass Biden’s ‘Dream and Promise Act’ to give citizenship benefits to 3M illegal immigrants

AN Newsroom
UPDATED 7:22 AM PT – Friday, March 19, 2021
House Democrats passed an immigration bill proposed by Joe Biden, which would provide a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.

In a 228-to-197 vote Thursday, the House passed the Dream and Promise Act in an effort to establish a pathway for U.S. citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants who were brought across the border as children. The bill would also protect other groups of illegal immigrants from deportation such as farm workers and their spouses.

Analysts have said the bill may have a hard time going through the Senate, but Biden is eager to sign it into law. Meanwhile, the surge of illegal immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border has prompted the House GOP to call for a hearing on border security.

 

We need to sort out the ILLEGAL MIGRANTS in the United States now.
But not until several other things happen
1) strengthen and enforce laws that prohibit hiring of ILLEGAL MIGRANTS
2) Provide a clear, easy to understand, qualification list to become an American Citizen. Process applications for immigration/asylum only in our embassies out of the country.
3) Strengthen and require bonds for visa holders.

Then, and only then, can we sort out the ILLEGAL MIGRANTS in the country now. As we learned when Reagan did a blanket amnesty thing, it only encourages more people to come here ILLEGALLY.

 

Let it go. Every president has passed an amnesty order all the way back to Reagan.and ya know what? The next president will have to do it again! If you haven't started the process to become legal, and you've been here 30 yrs. Throw their asses out. But it won't happen. As long as we have keyboard warriors, these idiots that show up at rally's with they're friends, hoist a sign take a pic, then run home and post to FB, instagram, twitter, (xnxx) ? And that's how it begins, the mind numbing rhetoric that is our college youth.

 

It's all economic, at bottom.
Give everyone (adult) who comes in a tax number, and a year to find work & start paying taxes.
If tax record shows compliance, after 3 years, grant citizenship.
If tax record shows non-compliance, deport after 1 year.

 

Brilliant

 

Pelosi: Drug pricing measure under discussion for infrastructure package

Wait.
Now Nancy Antionette thinks drug prices are important?
Where was she in September, 2020?
Trump Signs New Executive Order On Prescription Drug Prices : NPR
Trump Signs New Executive Order On Prescription Drug Prices
September 13, 20208:23 PM ET

President Trump signed an executive order Sunday that he says lowers prescription drug prices "by putting America first," but experts said the move is unlikely to have any immediate impact.

The action comes nearly two months after the president signed a different executive order with the exact same name but held it back to see if he could negotiate a better deal with drug companies. "If these talks are successful, we may not need to implement the fourth executive order, which is a very tough order for them," Trump said at the time.

The new executive order repeals the original and expands the drugs covered by Trump's proposed "most favored nations" pricing scheme to include both Medicare parts B and D. The idea is that Medicare would refuse to pay more for drugs than the lower prices paid by other developed nations.​

Well, we know what biden/harris thought about it;
Joe Biden Suspends Trump Executive Order to Lower Insulin, Epinephrine Prices (breitbart.com)

President Joe Biden’s first actions included a directive that suspends President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at lowering the prices of insulin and epinephrine, which was to have gone into effect on Friday, January 22.
​

And what Nancy Antionette thought about it;
Pelosi Statement on Trump’s Latest Prescription Drug Price Sham | Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (house.gov)

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement on President Trump’s continued failure to take real action to lower prescription drug prices:

“Once again, President Trump is making empty promises instead of taking actual action to lower Americans’ drug prices. In fact, Trump’s rebate rule will increase premiums for America’s seniors and people with disabilities.

“Four years of President Trump caving to Big Pharma have culminated in this sham. It is clear that Trump’s promise in the campaign to negotiate drug prices ‘like crazy’ means not negotiate at all.

“President Trump’s latest empty announcement is an insult to all the seniors and families who are still waiting for real action to lower their prescription drug costs.

“Again, President Trump should stop making a big deal of hollow executive actions that he knows won’t work.”
​

So, now, Nancy and biden/harris and the power rangers and despicables will enact their own drug cost reduction plan that looks suspiciously like Trump's plan.
No matter.
2022 approaches.

 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi makes the conservative/Republicans pay every day for their lying hypocrisy and treason. That is the one thing conservative/Republicans are to stupid to realize. They constantly underestimate Speaker Pelosi which is why she is always two or three steps ahead of them. Out of spite they tried to force Eric Swalwell off the intelligence committee because he was contacted by a Chinese spy six years ago. Swalwell broke off all contact as soon as he was informed and fully cooperated with the FBI. And the FBI cleared him of any wrong doing. But now that Matt Gaetz is under investigation by the DOJ the conservative/Republicans refuse to remove him from the Judiciary Committee even though that is a direct conflict of interest because he would be overseeing the DOJ. And Pelosi is going to make that crystal clear to the American people.

Matt Gaetz scandal could cost him his seat on House Judiciary Committee: Nancy Pelosi

The leader of the House of Representatives on Thursday addressed the scandals involving Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).

"Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida and a close ally of former President Donald J. Trump, is being investigated by the Justice Department over whether he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old and paid for her to travel with him, according to three people briefed on the matter. Investigators are examining whether Mr. Gaetz violated federal sex trafficking laws, the people said. A variety of federal statutes make it illegal to induce someone under 18 to travel over state lines to engage in sex in exchange for money or something of value. The Justice Department regularly prosecutes such cases, and offenders often receive severe sentences," The New York Times reported Tuesday.

At her weekly press conference, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) addressed the situation and said it could result in Gaetz being kicked off of the House Judiciary Committee.

"If in fact these allegations are true, of course being removed from the Judiciary Committee is the least that could be done. But again, I think, from what we've heard so far this would be a matter for the Ethics Committee," Pelosi said.

I don't know how this one is going to turn out. President Biden is still pretty much set in his ways and anti marijuana. But maybe he can evolve.

Schumer says Senate will move ahead on marijuana legalization

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) has vowed to move forward with legislation to federally legalize marijuana, even if President Biden resists such a move.

In an interview with Politico published Saturday, Schumer said he “will have an ongoing conversation” with Biden on the legalization of cannabis to “tell him how my views have evolved” on the issue.

However, Schumer said that if Biden, who has vocalized opposition to the full legalization of cannabis, does not eventually come around to the legislation, the Senate will still “move forward.”

“He [Biden] said he's studying the issue, so obviously want to give him a little time to study it,” the Senate Democratic leader told Politico. “I want to make my arguments to him, as many other advocates will.”

“But at some point we're going to move forward, period,” he added.

Schumer pointed out that while he initially opposed federal marijuana legalization, his “thinking evolved,” and in 2018, he became “the first member of the Democratic leadership to come out in support of ending the federal prohibition.”

“When a few of the early states — Oregon and Colorado — wanted to legalize, all the opponents talked about the parade of horribles: Crime would go up. Drug use would go up. Everything bad would happen,” Schumer explained.

However, the New York senator added, “The legalization of states worked out remarkably well.”

“They were a great success. The parade of horribles never came about, and people got more freedom. And people in those states seem very happy,” he said.

Schumer’s commitment to putting forth marijuana legislation comes as his home state of New York this week officially legalized recreational marijuana for adults, following a slew of other states that passed measures in recent months lifting restrictions on cannabis for medical and recreational use.

The fight for federal cannabis reform comes as Biden has also faced pressure to reverse his administration’s employee policy on past marijuana use after it was reported that five staffers had been fired as a result of the policy.

A group of 30 Democratic lawmakers last week signed a letter to Biden urging him to “clarify your employment suitability policies, remove past cannabis use as a potential disqualifier, and apply these policies with consistency and fairness.”

Schumer, in the interview published Saturday, cited the much higher level of support for marijuana legalization among the American people than in past years. A November 2020 Gallup poll found 68 percent of Americans supported legalization, the highest level ever measured by Gallup on the issue.

In February, Schumer, along with Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), announced a commitment to making “comprehensive cannabis reform” a top priority.

“The War on Drugs has been a war on people — particularly people of color,” they said in a statement at the time. “Ending the federal marijuana prohibition is necessary to right the wrongs of this failed war and end decades of harm inflicted on communities of color across the country.”

I was not at all sure Chuck Schumer could pull this off. He did a lot of research and got way down in the parliamentarian weeds and said he thought he found a path but I had my doubts.

Chuck Schumer scores major win that will allow Democrats to bypass GOP obstruction


www.rawstory.com

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Monday announced the Senate Parliamentarian had issued a ruling that will allow Democrats to sidestep the filibuster again in 2020.

Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan without any GOP support by using a process known as reconciliation. Under the process, the filibuster is not applicable.

However, there are significant limits as to what can be included in the bill, as was on display earlier this year when the Senate Parliamentarian ruled that a proposal to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour could occur under reconciliation.

Schumer had asked the Parliamentarian to rule whether it was applicable to "amend" a budget via additional reconciliation legislation. The Parliamentarian ruled that could occur, opening the door for Democrats to pass Biden's American Jobs Plan, his infrastructure bill, without the GOP able to block it via the filibuster.

"A potentially very big deal," PBS Newshour correspondent Lis Desjardins tweeted. "Schumer's office confirms that the parliamentarian agrees with him that, essentially Democrats can *amend* a budget resolution and get another shot at passing something using budget reconciliation. They are still working out the plan/effect."

The ruling is only the first step and Dems haven't decided to use reconciliation yet an the Parliamentarian could still potentially rule that individual parts of the bill are out of order if they do.

Infrastructure news: Chuck Schumer’s office says the parliamentarian agrees with his interpretation of the Senate budget process, which could enable Democrats to bypass a filibuster and use reconciliation once more in fiscal year 2021 (and several more times next year).

I have been saying this since President Biden's inauguration. I have been a Democrat since 1980 and I am just not used to them being this good. I don't know if President Biden and his decades in the Senate had anything to do with this but after they COVID relief passed most people were going but now you're done if you can't end the filibuster. And they said no we aren't. I don't know of anyone who saw this one coming.

This is a really good deep dive into it.

Democrats will get an extra chance this year to push legislation without Republicans

https://www.latimes.com/politics/st...ats-extra-chance-push-legislation-without-gop

 

Now, if the despicables relly had fundamental problems with the filibuster they'd agree to modify or eliminate it but make it effective after the 2022 elections.

They won't though. The goal is to jam as much despicable agenda down our collective throats before they find themselves the minority again.

 

I've been an American Republican since the Carter shit show began in 1976 and I cant understand how anyone with an ounce of honest patriotism would approve of any one party being able to push through any legislation without any consent from the other party,
this is not how America is supposed to operate and democrats know it, but the partisanly biased lying fucks dont care as long as they get the vote...

this is the dictatorship we were warned about, democrats are free to fuck up America both economically and culturally, and motherfuck them all, there doing it, ...welcome to the Democrat States of Socialist America!
