The Republican Senate barely governs under McConnell...very little legislation moves forward under his leadership. 

Doesn't help that he flips flops for opportunity.  He'll say one thing for example when he fought the nomination for Supreme Court Justice under Obama and when he quickly filled RBG's seat.  He thinks nothing about being a hypocrite.

Speaking of hypocrites, I'm reminded of this that I saw the other day:

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is pushing for a vote on President Biden's massive spending plan as soon as possible, even though she has previously pushed back against GOP efforts to ram through legislation without a Congressional Budget Office score, an analysis moderate Democrats are now demanding. 

"Americans have a right to know #Trumpcare's impact on their lives. Rs shouldn't vote without an updated CBO score," Pelosi said on Twitter in March 2017 as the GOP was attempting to swiftly pass former President Trump's reforms to the Affordable Care Act."

That's it? FOX is reviewing the failure of Trump care? The proposed partial repeal of the ACA? Didn't a bunch of republicans vote against that...like Stefanik? 

That legislation was hugely unpopular with We the People and some analysts believed that the proposed healthcare legislation cost Trump the midterm election...proposing to put working  people off healthcare to save money for the wealthy is hard to sell to the average American.

Yes, Democrats can be as hypocritical as anyone but I don't see her wanting to see the CBO score as hypocritical.   I believe it's Senatorial procedure.

I've said it before on these forums that McConnell and Pelosi are at the top of their game and good at what they do.

The CBO has looked already at the infrastructure bill in what according to what McConnell said in the above article is a "procedural step".

Pelosi is in South Florida looking to purchase a retirement home.  Even she appreciates that Florida is the best state in the union right now.

I'm pretty good with Google and can't find this. 

I live in Florida and happen to agree though that Florida is the best state in the union.  I plan on staying here after I retire.   ?

Post anything directly from Q please.  The Leftist media boogeyman “Q” is the biggest load of baloney ever.  To try to twist some old obscure trolljobs on a far left message board 4chan as some right wing thing is just pathetic.  Funny thing is nobody can ever post a direct Q link and instead just cite far left media outlets.

That reference to Q triggered quite a response.  

All of a sudden links are important to you, eh?

I'll show you the proof that the Trump cult believes in Q as soon as you show the proof that Pelosi is retiring to Florida.

Still can’t backup the nonsense that you pander here.  Who really gives a crap where Pelosi retires to.  She can retire anywhere with her insider trading gains.  As much as I loathe the woman it’s hard not to respect her hustle.  She is just playing one side of the game.  I’d sell my soil and push Alt Left crap if it meant I could be worth $100 mil.
