Journey to Surrealville: What's really fueling Pelosi's shutdown of America's relief package?

— California's Gov. Gavin Newsom, New York's Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and Washington's Gov. Jay Inslee — three lefti-est of lefties — who have nothing but praise these days for President Trump?  How could they betray Democratic moneybags financing sources such as Google and Facebook and even Walmart, which have done so much good as their part of the collective effort?

Monica Showalter  "After days of unusual comity between Republicans and Democrats in the coronavirus crisis, the big congressional economic aid package to help hospitals, laid off workers, and battered small businesses all came crashing down as Nancy Pelosi jetted in from vacation, blocking the set-to-go bill over the weekend.  In place of that, she came up with a 1,400-nightmare political goody bag for the left — everything from ballot-harvesting to corporate diversity requirements to greenie airline regulations to a $15 minimum wage and a lot of other horrors — attempting to slip through the entire panoply of laws her party wants to enact but can't get passed.

"It was Pelosi's and other Democrats' doing, all right — just look at how the New York Times changed its headline sequence, first putting out the facts about Democrat road-blocking, then, likely after some Pelosian phone calls, softening the blame, and then declaring the whole thing a bipartisan morass.  Yeah, sure. 

"It's an outrage.  It's a mistake.  It's likely to get them thrown out for good from both the House and Senate come November.  As Roger Simon noted in his excellent piece, they're using a pandemic for political aims, suggesting they have no limits on how far they'll go to use any crisis for political gains.  They'd do the same in a nuclear attack, he points out, because they are that far gone.  Christopher Bedford at the Federalist has an excellent piece, too.

"Not surprisingly, Twitter hashtags such as #PelosiHatesAmericans and #DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica are leading trends on Twitter.  It's a sign that this is going to leave a mark on Democrats and isn't going down well.  Nurses need some decent masks right now.  Coronavirus patients need ventilators.  Small businesses need a lifeline.  Airlines and cruise ships need a lifeline, and yes, they are big corporations...that hire hundreds of thousands of workers.  American workers have seen $1,200 checks dangled in front of them...and are now seeing them pulled away from them like Lucy's football.

Pelosi Jr.

"Not a biggie to Nancy Pelosi, who, after all, has called thousand-dollar checks to workers "crumbs." . . .

Looks like the Nancy we see on the news is the same Nancy at 
home with her family:
Vile: Nancy Pelosi's daughter Christine endorses felony assault on Rand Paul

. . . The context of the sick tweet, according to Fox News, was someone stating that Sen. Mitt Romney, upon hearing of Paul's illness, decided to self-quarantine after hearing about Paul's misfortune in order to protect his wife, who has a medical condition that leaves her especially vulnerable.

"Instead of cheering Romney, which would have been a reasonable person's response, she decided to go low, lower than a dirt bug or beetle grub, by bringing up the violent 2017 assault on Paul by a hate-crazed neighbor, whose attack left Paul with five broken ribs and the loss of part of his lung — in order to cheer the criminal.  And this, right at the time when Paul is now afflicted by the coronavirus." . . .
