Speaker Pelosi called his bluff, using her power of position & her

..long ago, learned skillset to benefit her people & her country.
This is why She's been re-elected Speaker of the House & others are not.
Pelosi proves over & over why she holds such trust among her Democrats.

Thank you Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She has a mastery of knowing when to hold back & when to strike.

Phenomenal move Speaker, for landing such a double-triple blow.





Pelosi called the bluff immediately, and now all wings getting on board. This is the right way for the Democratic coalition to respond.
Hammer McConnell.
Win Georgia

Deliver a better deal for Americans.

On FB I saw Sanders take credit for 2000 in March and Markey, Harris came along. Not true. Harris wrote the bill and Gillibrand Markey and sANDERS CO. I am not rewriting history for ego. This is Pelosi's bow.

No. I am not giving a thumbs up to Sanders when he was willing to not vote for my UI two weeks ago.

This masterful bluff-calling happened because of Speaker Pelosi.

The 2 grand offer was Trumps ego talking.
Then he was one-upped by the one woman he cannot beat in a game of high stakes political maneuvering.

This is Pelosi doing what she is notorius for.

But look who's 1st in line again to claim credit for self props the headlines..

This was purely a typical Pelosi move, while they chattered their nasty degrading remarks about her, in the background.

AOC and Bernie fought to get checks in when they were left out. Now Pelosi is doing a wonderful job calling their bluff.

I am quite envious. I stopped being able to handle heals 20 years ago and am just a year or two younger than Pelosi. For that alone she's got my respect.

We respect & love our lifetime career women of the Democratic Party.
Talk about breaking barriers for others to follow! They did it.

Gratitude.
America needs to see more of it from those who choose the role of leadership.

Thanks~
