Knowing it will never get seen in the senate.
She's as smart as Boehner was, passing those bills modifying ACA.
Yup, she's off to a GREAT start.

Yeah because it worked out so well for the Democrats during her last stint as Speaker.
You'd think that the Critters from Crime Family-D would have learned their lesson in 2010 but apparently their days of slamming their own dicks in the car door aren't over yet.

Obama 2013 and Trump 2018. Are the shutdowns the same? Not exactly
By Jon Greenberg on Wednesday, January 2nd, 2019 at 3:18 p.m.
With no quick end to the recent federal government shutdown in sight, a Facebook post harking back to a 2013 shutdown under President Barack Obama has been shared over 71,000 times.
The Dec. 22 post from Trump-backer Kristy Greczkowski said, "Oct 2013, Obama shut down the government for 16 days to force Obamacare. A friendly reminder America. Secure our borders."
The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)
We thought we’d compare the two fiscal impasses.
A quick recap
In September 2013, two issues were in play, the Affordable Care Act and raising the debt ceiling –– the legal amount the government is allowed to borrow.
The Affordable Care Act, passed in 2010, was due to begin in earnest in 2014. The individual mandate requiring people to have insurance would come into force. Coverage would start for Americans who signed up through government insurance marketplaces (although the meltdown of the federal Healthcare.gov website was about to throw that step into chaos).
Republicans, primarily in the House, aimed to defund Obamacare. None of the 12 regular appropriation bills to pay for government operations had been passed. A group of 80 House Republicans signed a letter to House Speaker John Boehner saying this was the time to eliminate any dollars that would allow Obamacare to move forward.
Before the shutdown, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., warned that a shutdown would be a bad idea and in any event wouldn’t block most of Obamacare from moving forward.
We rated that claim Mostly True. Most key parts of the law – the insurance marketplace, the premium subsidies, and the taxes and regulations – would continue unimpeded.
But if Obamacare was one rallying cry, the debt ceiling turned out to be just as important. The government was closing in on the legal limit of $16.699 trillion in debt. Without the flexibility to borrow more, Washington faced the prospect of not being able to pay back Treasury notes as they came due. Republicans wanted broader spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt limit.
At the time, Republicans controlled the House, and Democrats held the Senate. Obama had said he would veto any bill that defunded Obamacare. His veto threat and the Democratic-controlled Senate doomed any measure that undermined the fledgling health care program.
The House passed several bills that eliminated Obamacare funding, and the Senate kept stripping out those provisions.
The government shutdown began on Oct. 1. On Oct. 15, the rating agency Fitch said the U.S. government’s credit worthiness would be reviewed. A downgrade would have dramatically increased borrowing costs.

You're making promises that history suggests the incompetent boobs from Crime Family-D can't keep.
The more likely outcome is that the dingbats in the HoR will spend two years chasing their own tails and chittering like the macaws that they are only too see the weasels from Crime Family-R utilize Princess Nancy's ugly mug as the poster child to remind the voters of everything that's wrong with Career Congress Rats and send her packing for a second time.

Nancy Pelosi Elected Speaker Of The House
House Democrats overwhelmingly cast their votes for the long-serving California representative on Thursday.
WASHINGTON ― After quashing a small revolt in her own caucus around Thanksgiving, Nancy Pelosi reclaimed the House speakership Thursday, becoming the first politician in 58 years to take back the gavel.
Pelosi was elected 220-192, with 12 Democrats voting for someone other than the California Democrat and three voting simply “present.”
Pelosi’s path back to House speaker wasn’t easy. Part of the reason Republicans were able to win back the House majority in 2010 was through a “Fire Pelosi” campaign that made her toxic in some Republican-leaning districts, and Republicans have run on a similar playbook for every election since, including in 2018.
A number of freshman Democrats made promises during the campaign to not support Pelosi if they were elected to Congress, and 10 stood by that vow, voting either “present” or for someone else.

She always did a great job; + thorough! Pelosi knows WTF she's doing unlike Boehner and Ryan! I've known her to pass 200+ pieces of legislation in her DEM. led Congress while Boehner started out his tenure losing his first 3 votes! It's like these idiots on "the right" can't count! Then of course there's the self-sabotage with their more radical conservative members who work against the party's best interest, not to mention THE PEOPLE! I just hope she's not feeling her oats so much as to put "that $1" for "the WALL" in the budget to get "Trump's goat!"

And we don’t want modifications made to the current budget
Republicans want a wall......include funding as part of the budget process
They had two years of total control of Congress and did nothing
Why not just have Mexico pay for it ?

For the people on site who have a BRAIN, the Dems lost in 2010 by the constant haranguing of the ACA by Republicans making the law look bad! Now that OBAMA-care is on the books and helping people, even those same scumbag Republicans are touting it and saying they're for coverage of pre-existing conditions and keeping kids on parent's insurance until they're 26 yo.! The hypocrisy is mind-numbing, but they still took advantage of the populous' naivete and stupidity!
