Pelosi shades Schumer on funding bill: ‘Listen to the women’
The Hill ^ | 3/14/2025 | Emily Brooks

Posted on 03/14/2025 10:08:21 AM PDT by ransomnote

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday issued a blistering statement on how senators should handle a government funding vote that, without naming him, dinged Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).

“Democratic senators should listen to the women,” Pelosi said. “Appropriations leaders Rosa DeLauro [D-Conn.] and Patty Murray [D-Wash.] have eloquently presented the case that we must have a better choice: a four-week funding extension to keep government open and negotiate a bipartisan agreement.”

“America has experienced a Trump shutdown before – but this damaging legislation only makes matters worse.  Democrats must not buy into this false choice. We must fight back for a better way. Listen to the women, For The People,” Pelosi said.

“Donald Trump and Elon Musk have offered the Congress a false choice between a government shutdown or a blank check that makes a devastating assault on the well-being of working families across America,” Pelosi also said. “Let’s be clear: neither is a good option for the American people. But this false choice that some are buying instead of fighting is unacceptable.”

If anyone ever says they need proof America is in trouble due to Dems, this is proof.

Go, Trump. Go, Elon.

Memo to Chuck: If your reputation is in tatters on the Left, change your hair to purple and lime green. Just sayin’.
As you peer over your glasses imperiously at the lowly common people they will see you are “hip” to the new trending hair colors. Maybe one color on each side.

The Beat poet Anne Waldman used to shave her head on one side and grow her hair long on the other to represent her lesbian and heterosexual sides of her being. Still writing at age 79.

I doubt that Nancy ($15,000 fridge and $15,000 freezer) Pelosi gives a flip about working class families. That’s what they all say.

“Former...” But she’ll continue to get a nationwide soapbox from the MSM whenever she wants, until she croaks.

Schumer realized he did not have the cards and he did not want to end up like Zelenskyy.

Now now Nancy. Don’t be too harsh on Chuckie. Just go up to him and plant a big wet sloppy kiss on his Palestinian lips.

America has experienced a Trump shutdown before.

Translation: Democrats caused it

If anything is good for America it doesn’t fit the democrat agenda.

Listening to women is how the rat party ended up in the toilet. Even Serpent head James Carville has pointed to the fact that the party’s sorrows are due to being run a bunch of argumentative fussy old women.

We did listen to them Nancy. That’s why we’re where we’re at now.
