Nancy Pelosi tells Senate Democrats to ignore Schumer and let the shutdown happen
Citizen Watch Report ^ | Alex

Nancy Pelosi built her career railing against government shutdowns, calling them reckless, cruel, and unnecessary. She blamed Republicans every time, saying they hurt families and federal workers. Now, suddenly, she’s cheering one on. Why? Because Trump and Musk are cutting the Democrats' out-of-control spending, and there’s nothing she can do to stop it. Pelosi doesn’t care about shutdowns—she cares about power.

For years, she painted shutdowns as disasters. During the 2018-2019 standoff, she claimed, “Federal workers should not be pawns in this political game.” Now she’s telling Senate Democrats to kill a funding bill and let a shutdown happen. What changed? The spending is already at Biden levels, but because Trump supports it, suddenly it’s unacceptable.

Last time we checked, government workers had been caught not doing much government work at all

She is just putting on a show for the lunatic base. The cloture vote passed so that means no shutdown.

Pelosi’s comments is one of the many reasons I held off celebrating the passage of the CR in the Senate. There are just too many chances for ugly surprises in what remains of the Senate's decision.

Listen, the next time you can build a net worth of $ 250 million on a max salary of $ 200,000 a year come talk to me. This is one brilliant investor. And she doesn’t have to obey things like the ridiculous Covid mask rules that apply to everyone else.

She is such an odius person.

She'll die one of these days, and demons is Hell will pass her around like a pack of smokes.

She'll learn to like it like her husband prefers it...

It's so much fun when they start fighting themselves.

Perhaps an unintended consequence of Trump's being president.

Proving that her husband has already made some “lucky” stock trades that will cash in on a shut down.

I think Schumer is doing this for the VA Senators, Kaine and Warner who are not in favor of shutting down the govt because most of their constituents are Federal Govt workers or contractors and have been very vocal about the firings. Townhall with people crying and upset, etc. They would be eviscerated if the govt shuts down and they would have no more constituents because they would all be in mental hospitals.
