Pelosi vows to teach Trump-less McConnell a lesson, despite shrunken House majority

Speaker Nancy Pelosi predicted the slimmed-down House Democratic majority will nonetheless gain power with Joe Biden in the White House.

But so far, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell isn’t budging on his refusal to consider Pelosi’s massive coronavirus aid bill, even with Biden’s presidency looming.

“Whether you're in the minority or majority, if the president is of your party, you have more power," Pelosi said Friday at a post-election press conference.

Pelosi said “Mitch McConnell is going to find out … not having Donald Trump in the White House is going to change his leverage, and that dynamic.”

Republicans predict the opposite result.

So long as Sen. McConnell stands firm Miss Nancy's threats are empty.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

it is not so much Mitch standing firm as much as Romney, Collins or Murkowski going soft
No punishment, in my opinion, is too great, for the man who can build his greatness upon his country's ruin~  George Washington

too bad we can’t say the reverse is true in the House, even though their lead is almost down to single digits.

The rats just do not have in the House  the equivalent to the worthless flaccid republican lumps you named.

Think in terms of 40.

Mitch will not get rid of the filibuster.

Unfortunately we are living in a time where DC is run by the corrupt who seek only power and money. If the Pubs stop everything they can win the House back and expand our majority in the Senate in two years. Biden can do a lot of damage just as chief executive, but most of that can be undone by the next Pub POTUS. The problem will be winning the Presidency when 4 cities (Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia & Atlanta) can get away with enough vote fraud to win those 4 battlegrounds for the Rats.

Somehow election fraud has to be ended.
