BREAKING: Nancy Pelosi just stood up to Trump, telling him that she will not give him his stupid wall.
Nancy Pelosi's spine just became the envy of all Republicans, after witnessing two years of Paul Ryan giving his best jellyfish impression.

(15,060 posts)Time that every Dem stood behind her and hailed her for her grit, values and dedication to the causes we all believe in. Stop letting the fucking Republicans define who Democrats are.
And to all those who want a new, younger Speaker, let me say this: Nancy is a powerhouse politician who knows how to fight, how to lead and where all the bodies are buried. At the end of her term, two years from now, she will hand over the leadership baton. But during these coming two years, the best thing that the young newcomers can do is to learn from her. It will make them more effective against the real "evil" America is facing: -- The Republican Party.

(1,115 posts)Pelosi is our new leader and Trump's goose is cooked. They keep talking
about 2020 and Trump's opponent. Trump is not going to be around in
2020 and Nancy is going to be the incumbent.

(10,842 posts)call Trump's bluff. If he and the Republicans went to shut down the Government they can certainly do that. And then, be held accountable for the lost revenue and ensuing chaos/anger a shutdown will entail. Right before Christmas.
This blackmail routine has to stop. Using the Dreamers and a resolution on DACA as the bait is despicable. We're talking thousands of young lives and futures vs the Trumpski's bloated ego and empty promises.
The Republicans want to play hardball. Fine. We have Nancy Pelosi in our court. I like the odds!

Loves me some Nancy P.
LiberalBrooke
(527 posts)That Trump is begging for money for the stupid wall he assured everyone that Mexico would pay for. Mexico is smart enough not to pay for it and we need to be smart enough too.

(3,557 posts)Why is it on democrats to facilitate the republicans in accomplishing their shitty agenda?

(92,418 posts)the votes then, and they still don't now, plus in addition, we control the House
In other words they needed Democratic votes in the Senate for the wall, then and now, and they don't have them

(11,949 posts)The house is a done deal.
Despite their bluster the blue wave rocked them. The senate may well pass it and put the onus on trump.

(3,259 posts)A process that provides immediate amnesty and a fast track pathway to citizenship the second the legislation is signed. Then let the Trump followers and rank and file Republicans realize that we can tie their wall up in court for a decade while they build a small section here and a small section there. In that decade we will the repeal the wall aspect of the legislation like they did the ACA.
