Are Republicans dumb or intimidated enough to fall for this trap?
It’s Official! Pelosi Doubles Down on Stupid and Confirms “Compromise” Infrastructure Bill Is a Trap
Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden think that they are geniuses who can play us all for fools. We see through their good cop/bad cop routine, though. This nonsense is as transparent as it gets. Biden’s got the good cop role down pat. He’s willing to work with the GOP and fancies himself as a man who is willing to compromise to get things done.
Pelosi, on the other hand, seems to pride herself on being one “tough” customer. In reality, she kicks and screams whenever she doesn’t get her way. She’s willing to blow up any deal as long as she is not getting what she wants. In this instance, she’s not going to sign off on an infrastructure bill unless she manages to slide a massive social welfare package through as well.
Progressives believe that they are going to get what they want by linking these bills. That’s how they are putting the screws to Joe Manchin. Manchin is supposed to jump when they say “how high?” because the infrastructure bill that he is so proud will go bye-bye if he does not play ball. In other words, the Democrats believe that they have all of the leverage at the moment.
There’s just one issue with this plan that they have neglected to take care of. Biden has lost his marbles and regularly seems to forget that he is supposed to be playing the good cop. His team is left to pick up the pieces and re-frame the conversation. The House Democrats were shaking their head over this, as they watched Biden’s handlers rush to fix his mistake.
One of them even referred to the whole situation as a “f–ing clown show”, which are some strong words but we can’t deny the level of truth here. Mitch McConnell is now trying to smooth the situation over by asking Biden to work on Pelosi. If she removes the link between the bills, this allows the GOP to continue to blame Biden….regardless of what ends up happening going forward.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Pelosi is not going to play ball. She is going to continue to make this as difficult as possible because that is her M.O. and we all know it. Pelosi relishes playing the bad cop and won’t give that up just because Mitch McConnell says so. The Hill has more:
“What the Speaker has said, and I totally agree with her, is that we’re not going to vote on one until the Senate sends us both,” Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.), chairman of the House Budget Committee, told reporters after the meeting. “That’s not changed.”…
.@RepAOC: “The Senate doesn’t run the show. The Senate doesn’t tell the White House what to do, the Senate doesn’t tell the House what to do… if the Senate really wants to run with their bipartisan bill… then they should give on reconciliation.” pic.twitter.com/k0R8FAhU86

Pelosi … is standing her ground, supporting the liberals in her caucus who are wary that enacting the smaller infrastructure bill — which the Senate is shooting to pass before the August recess — would erode the momentum behind the larger partisan package, which Democrats intend to pass by reconciliation.
The liberals are demanding that the Senate pass the second measure before the House votes on either, and leadership appears to be well on board.”
How are the Republicans going to react and will they continue to play along? These are the questions that have to be answered now. Will Pelosi’s precious progressives play along, too? The younger members of the caucus are already signaling that they will but what about the moderates? These are the folks who have to be considered because they are less likely to play ball going forward.
Manchin is not likely to budge and we’ll leave you with a telling quote from one of the many centrist Democrats who have spoken out against this. “I think it’d be incredibly disappointing if there’s a bill from the Senate, waiting for our action, and we choose to delay it arbitrarily,” says Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA). No one wants to let the potentially historic infrastructure bill die on the vine….except Pelosi!

Liberals are very considerate of the way they want others to swallow their poisonous ideas. They know a drop at a time will eventually become effective so like a "little pregnancy" they spoon speed until their prescription is all gone and thus, they accomplish their goal..
Just try a little of the critical race theory and see how it tastes, then a little more until you have digested the entire bottle. By then your love of and respect for country has turned to hate and a confused state of mind. Eventually, you doubt yourself and your motives and submissively are willing to see yourself through a fractured racial prism..
Everything becomes racially tainted and guilt ridden. The big lie is like a porous cloud. You cannot grab hold of or refute it, because it is all fluff..
Consequently, once you imbibe a little poison you become conditioned for accepting bigger doses of more poisonous ideas.
AND:
Does this equate?
Subject: Kneeling -
John McNulty (born May 29, 1968), is an American football coach who is currently the tight end coach at the University of Notre Dame. He is a former player and graduate of the Penn State University. McNulty returned to Rutgers, where he spent five seasons as an assistant coach and offensive coordinator from 2004 to 2008. The veteran coach also spent 15 seasons in the National Football League (NFL), coaching for six different teams.
He said:
I watched the Democratic leaders of Congress kneel in the halls of Congress for about 9 minutes, for the death of a black man named George Floyd.
I have never seen them kneel for a fallen *Police Officer.
I have never seen them kneel for a fallen *Soldier.
I NEVER SAW THEM KNEEL FOR THE *SOLDIERS THAT HILLARY & OBAMA LEFT TO DIE IN Benghazi!!
I have never seen them kneel for a murdered *white man or woman*.
I have not seen them kneel for the thousands of *black-on-black murder victims.
I have not seen them kneel for the thousands of *elderly people that died in nursing homes due to the Corona Virus.(Especially N.Y.)
I have to ask: *WHY are Democrats putting the life of George Floyd as more valuable than the lives of everyone else?
In fact, Democrats have put so much value on the life of George Floyd, they have allowed rioting, looting, arson, ️murder, and mayhem in communities Nationwide...
ASK YOURSELF - WHY NOW?"
The family (brothers and sister) of George Floyd opened a Go Fund Me account to "help the family"? It has already raised $14,455,100.00 and still counting from donations as of June 22, 2020. Yes, almost $14 1/2 MILLION. And, given a $27 million settlement from the city. This is for a guy who was arrested NINE times; was a convicted drug dealer (and at a drug deal the day he died); held a gun to the stomach of a pregnant lady while his five buddies robbed her home; did prison time three different times totaling about eight years, and obviously didn't learn from our penal system.
And now America is memorializing him by painting murals of the guy on the sides of buildings like he's a hero?
Crime does pay! .....and to pour salt in the wound, Rep. Pelosi (democrat) presented his brother a folded American flag flown over the Capitol in his honor in a beautiful tri-cornered presentation case.
We should be embarrassed if not disgusted as citizens!!!!!

I have mixed feelings about promiscuity and abortion. Everyone has a right to their own body but becoming a breeder of children is unfair to and places a high cost on society and most particularly what about the child whose future is highly uncertain and likely to be tragic.
Therefore, I am conflicted about Biden's care for immigrants yet disdain when it comes to abortion.

America's military remains the best organization within government so the progressives liberals believe it is now time to destroy it:
Cotton vs. chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, General Mark Milley.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) last Thursday said he wanted a review of all general and flag officer promotions starting in 2007 to assess the nominees’ opinions on critical race theory.
Critical race theory (CRT) is a body of legal scholarship and an academic movement of civil-rights scholars and activists in the United States that seeks to critically examine American law as it intersects with issues of race and to challenge mainstream American liberal approaches to racial justice. CRT examines social, cultural, and legal issues primarily as they relate to race and racism in the United States.
“If it harms unit cohesion or esprit de corps in the military, then we’re literally risking our freedoms,” Cotton said. “That’s why it is so important that the military’s highest priority should remain what it always has been, to fight and win real wars, not to get distracted by culture wars.”
In June, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, General Mark Milley, defended the study of critical race theory in the US military during a House Armed Services Committee budget hearing. “I want to understand white rage – and I’m white,” Milley told the committee. He said he wanted to learn what caused thousands of people to storm the US Capitol during the January 6 insurrection, and “try to overturn the constitution of the United States of America.”
Milley defended the fact that critical race theory is included on a curriculum syllabus at West Point, saying, “I’ve read Mao Zedong. I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist. So what is wrong with understanding, having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend?”
Cotton told an online forum of the Heritage Foundation last Thursday that officer nominations are typically handled by staff without deep reviews, except when there’s a “red flag” on the nomination. And the only nominees who are reviewed routinely are officers in line for their fourth star, or in line to receive a major command. Otherwise, there are typically no nomination hearings held, the senator said.
“But maybe it’s time to change that,” Cotton added. “Maybe it’s time that we start ensuring that our flag officers subscribe to those very basic principles that are outlined in our Declaration of Independence or Dr. Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech.”
Apparently, Cotton’s office receives complaints from troops that the military’s “indoctrination training sessions” on critical race theory began in response to the death of George Floyd, and “it’s gotten worse over the last six months.”
General Milley told the House committee: “I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our noncommissioned officers of being, quote, woke, or something else, because we’re studying some theories that are out there.”
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was also present at the same House Armed Services Committee budget hearing and had a tense exchange with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla) about critical race theory.
Gaetz asked about Space Force officer, Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, who was fired from his command last over his podcast that claimed Marxist ideologies are becoming prevalent in the military. “How should the Department of Defense think about critical race theory?” Gaetz asked Austin.
“We do not teach critical race theory, we don’t embrace critical race theory,” Austin said. “And I think that’s a spurious conversation.”
Sen. Cotton and Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) set up a website inviting service members to anonymously report examples of “woke ideology” in the military.
