Was this before or after the Republicans failed to agree to a bill proposed by the Dems? No what I am saying is the inept response by the government really fell on both sides. To state that the blame for the failed government response lies with one side is revisionist history. Both sides played politics with the issues.
The bill the Rats were pushing was a lot like the bill they are trying to pass now. Billions for programs that had nothing to do with Covid relief. If you're talking specifically about getting money out to people then yes Pelosi is to blame and the only people engaging in revisionist history are the people who deny this.
After Biden won Nancy agreed to a smaller relief bill that she could of had prior to the election. Before accusing others of engaging in revisionist history may be best for you to actually learn some history.
For months, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi held the line against a pared-down stimulus plan to prop up the coronavirus-hobbled economy. She insisted that Democrats needed to go big or stay stalled, arguing that this wasn’t the time for stopgaps or patchwork solutions.
On Friday, that changed. The most powerful woman in Washington stepped to the podium and told reporters on Capitol Hill that House Democrats were ready to accept something closer to the bipartisan $908 billion spending plan as a down payment on follow-up legislation to come next year. The slimmed-down spending — which is still larger than the entire Obama-era economic stimulus plan of 2009 — could be paired with a must-pass, $1.4 trillion government funding measure that faces an end-of-week deadline.[/i][/b]
What changed? Two things, said the Speaker. A vaccine appears nearing delivery. And Joe Biden won that White House.[/i][/b]

Well you certainly cherry-picked a quote from that article. Read the whole thing and it basically says both sides played politics. Only a firmly biased perspective can read that whole article and come away thinking it was all the Dems fault a relief bill wasn’t passed. But you’re free to be wrong in your view.
Really? Politicians on both sides played politics!!!! Shocking. Only a firmly biased perspective can ignore the fact that Pelosi herself said she was now willing to accept the "bipartisan" $908 Billion bill, that could have been passed before the election, now that Biden had won the Presidency.
Who was stopping that $908 Billion from coming to a vote in the House, Mr. Revisionist history?
The Dems were pretty clear in this case that they felt the relief support needed to be as big as they could make it and it would in fact be hurtful to pass something too small that only passed the buck for a future round of relief. They went big, the Reps predictably said no. Have things changed and the relief has changed, yes. And the point is? It’s really simple, both sides stood their idealogical ground and played chicken and nothing got done. Then the ground shifted and both sides have moved in response. It’s stupid DC at work. It’s not an evil plot.
Now who is engaging in revisionist history? And by "both sides moving" you mean Nancy agreeing to the already established $908 Billion bill after the election. Could Nancy have gotten that $908 Billion before the election, yes or no? Could the Republicans have gotten that $908 Billion before the election? You talked out your ass, take the L.
I’m not sure where you’re getting some of your numbers, but “Nancy” agreed to a 1.9t price tag not 900b. So no in fact she didn’t settle for what she could’ve had before and the Reps did move closer to the Dems numbers. So in other words both sides moved. Your alternative facts don’t help your case.
The fact that you have your head up your ass isn't helping you. The bill that Nancy was holding up prior to the election was the one the Senate passed in December and that Trump signed into law on December 28th 2020. We're not talking about the $1.9 Trillion dollar cluster fuck they passed last week.
Congress passes legislation with $900 billion in coronavirus relief and $1.4 trillion to fund the government through Sept. 30.
The measure includes a $300 per week federal unemployment supplement, $284 billion in Paycheck Protection Program loans, $600 direct payments and $8 billion for Covid-19 vaccine distribution, among many other provisions.
The aid comes after months of delays, and Democrats have called for another package when President-elect Biden takes office in the new year.

What Nancy and the Rats passed out of the House in December for Covid relief was $900B. That was a number she could have gotten prior to the November election. Gawd I hate when ignorant people try to correct me when I know they have their fucking heads up their asses.
The only person here who has been engaging in revisionist history is fucking you. Now if you want to just plead to being an ignorant motherfucker who is running their mouth without knowing the facts the judges will allow for that.
