Yesterday is a day that will live in infamy, at least for former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Still smarting from the Democrats’ loss of the White House, Pelosi continues to do all she can to obstruct President Trump and, once again, it blew up in her face. President Trump made sure the nation knew she and Chuck Schumer wouldn’t sit down with him to discuss the pressing issue of immigration. Making matters worse, a federal court denied a motion for a temporary restraining order that would have allowed Leandra English to remain as acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Poor Nancy, she failed again in her attempt to usurp power from the President.

To say yesterday was a bad day for Pelosi is putting it mildly. She allowed ego and hurt feelings to trump (see what I did there) the possibility of proving the Democratic Party is willing to sit down and negotiate on important issues like immigration. Instead, she and Chuck Schumer chose not to attend a planned meeting with President Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. Seems Pelosi’s delicate feelings got hurt when the President tweeted ahead of time that he didn’t think there could be a deal because Pelosi and company were soft on the issues of immigration and crime. My goodness, if that wasn’t an opening to prove not only to Trump but to the country that the Democrats are willing to to deal with the issues plaguing our nation instead of playing petty politics, I don’t know what is. Instead, Pelosi and Schumer skipped the meeting. They then snubbed the President, offering instead to meet only with McConnell and Ryan. Never one to miss a good PR moment, Trump made sure to let the nation know.

Pelosi’s response? Let’s just say she made it clear — again — that she would rather put her own feelings and ego in front of the needs of the nation.

But it gets better. A federal court pulled the rug out from under her, Elizabeth “Raises Fist” Warren and other members of the left, when it denied Leandra English’s motion for a temporary restraining order against President Trump naming Mick Mulvaney acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. English, an Obama appointee to the CFPB, is, according to Pelosi and company, the “rightful acting Director” According to English and her supporters, this is because the previous director, Richard Cordray, appointed her to that position upon his resignation.

Mary E. McLeod, CFPB’s general counsel, sent the following to the senior leadership of the agency on Saturday, arguing that Trump has the authority to name the acting director. “I advise all Bureau personnel to act consistently with the understanding that Director Mulvaney is the Acting Director of the CFPB,” McLeod said in the letter. Yet, despite this, english pressed her motion. Note too, English isn’t losing her job with the CFPB. She would be acting as Mulvaney’s assistant.

But that wasn’t good enough for English, the anonymous donor(s) paying her legal fees for the challenge, or Pelosi. It isn’t so much that Trump dared appoint someone else to the position. It’s that he appointed someone known to be a vocal critic of the CFPB, one who has said it should be disbanded. Gee, does that sound familiar? Gov. Perry and the Department of Energy perhaps? How dare the President appoint someone like that to oversee one of Obama’s pet bureaus?

Wow, Pelosi even had a hashtag to support the bureau, to “defend” it.

It becomes clearer with each passing day that the Democratic Party on Capitol Hill doesn’t care about dealing with the critical issues facing this country. Instead, they continue to try to usurp power from the presidency in any way they can, while maintaining programs and positions created under the Obama Administration. For all they harp on how the Republicans obstructed Obama at every turn, aren’t they doing the same thing they condemned? Is the country going to have to collapse before they finally admit the two sides have to work together? Or will Nancy hold her breath and stomp her feet until she turns blue? If yesterday is any indication, the answer to both questions is a resounding “yes”.
