As it turns out, Pelosi has the perfect plan to trap Trump and the Senate GOP.
On Wednesday, flanked by incoming House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Pelosi told reporters the first thing her House would do:

Nancy Pelosi: "Tomorrow we will bring to the floor legislation that will open up government. It will be based on actions taken by the Republican Senate led by Senator Mitch McConnell." Via ABC.

In other words, Pelosi plans to introduce and pass the same funding bill that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) shepherded through the Senate by voice vote two weeks ago which happens to not include funding for Trumps wall!
By passing this bill in the Senate but blocking it in the House on Trumps order, Republicans boxed themselves in. They cannot easily claim that their own bill they just voted for in the Senate is soft on border security. Nor can they pin the blame on Pelosi for not retaking up the alternative House bill that included Trumps wall funding, because that bill was rejected by the Senate.

(779 posts)Would love you all to hear the recording of 'One last time' by the cast of Hamilton and Barak Obama, it is great and perhaps if enough people try hard we could get it up on the charts, it would make Trump's head explode.

(369 posts)It's not really off the subject because it reminds Americans what it means to be POTUS and why it's important that, even the most powerful people, owe their allegiance to the country and it's people.
We are going to get a chance to see the complete opposite play out in front of our eyes so it's good to be reminded of how things should be.
Nancy and the Dems taking back the House is Act2.

(7,142 posts)McConnell is the gate keeper, he violated the Constitution by not giving Merrick Garland a hearing. He should be hammered by the M$M why he won't bring House passed legislation up for a vote in the Senate. We need to keep the pressure on McConnell and GOP/Trump Senators, especially those Senators who are up for reelection in 2020.
If Pelosi's bill gets put up for a vote in the Senate, it will pass. Will Trump veto it? I think not, if he does, he is finished.

(4,341 posts)Enough about the orange buffoon, each republican enabler must be addressed in public, their masks must be removed, they are more guilty than the buffoon who only knows how to crap through his mouth, but he doesn't understand policy, or anything for that matter, he is just a decoy and that has to be shown to the country...mind you, I don't say the World because the World already knows that, it is the illiterates from the USA who do not understand.

(9,426 posts)I saw a photo of the entire cabinet around the table. I was surprised Mrs. McConnell was sitting in a chair. I thought for sure she would be under the table, servicing tRump to keep both their jobs, Mitch's and hers.
