Also Schumer. Although Pelosi did most of the talking in the video shown, Schumer backed her up calmly and determinedly.

We have excellent Dem leaders to be proud of.

The “coward meter” for Ole Bad Ass Kevin Compared to Speaker Pelosi. Ovaries over balls, except McCarthy has neither. She has zero fear of the fat man. Kevin cowers like the pussy trump grabbed and never let lose.

expressed caring & concern for Pence’s safety while they spoke over the phone.

-And, also impressed that Pence helped them get back in to finish their work.

They worked together!

Schumer rose to the occasion was right after Trump took office and imposed the Muslim ban. Schumer was at an airport helping stranded Muslims get legal and material aid. He actually cried in sympathy for them, which TFG ridiculed, but which I thought (and still do) showed Schumer's strength of character, to be able to empathize with people in need.

Younger folks don't realize how knowledgeable and hard-working she is. . . . She always knows how many votes she has, and she is a master at getting legislation passed. Too often, Nancy gets blamed by members of her own party for people she has no control over such as Manchin and Sinema who are truly the ones who have fucked our party the most.
