This is such a weird thing to be excited about because for it to actually happen a major catastrophe has to befall our nation.

since people like him are literally walking catastrophes for our nation, I don't think he cares

I liked Nancy a lot. But she was wrong about many things and new leadership is overdue. Too bad old fart Chuck Grassley doesn't take the hint.
Nancy predicted that Trump would never be the president back in 2015, obviously wrong. Nancy predicted Trump would be impeached, again she was wrong. And there were many other times and issues where Nancy called it wrong. Not that anyone including Nancy is perfect, but the bottom line.... she is doing the right thing.

However... I too have a prediction of my own.
I predict Nancy will become the hammer yielding right wing MAGA serial killer. So when Trump is discovered with his head bashed in, and McCarthy, and Jim Jordan (please make it Jim Jordan), then we will know what Nancy has been up to. And why she has collected so many hammers in her closet. All sizes, types, and colors.
You go get em Nancy Maxwell.

"I have enjoyed working with three presidents, achieving historic investments in clean energy with President George Bush; transformative health care reform with President Barack Obama; and forging — and forging the future from infrastructure to health care to climate action with President Joe Biden."

Pelosi throwing some shade in her speech today, lol.

Nancy Pelosi was branded as the evil witch by Republicans. Hakeem Jeffries is slated to take over Democrat house leadership

My prediction Republican attack on him will be “ the black one with the Muslim name”

No, you're the one who's wrong. Trump was impeached, in fact he was impeached twice. It's a common error to say he wasn't impeached and it betrays stupidity every time. Trump was not convicted, and I'm sure Nancy never predicted that he would be convicted because the votes weren't there in the Senate. A 5 year old could have figured that out.

And you're trying to criticize Nancy Pelosi because she made predictions that didn't pan out? Are you serious? She was very arguably the G.O.A.T. Speaker of the House. She was the reason that the ACA wasn't abandoned. She implored Obama to not give up when he'd decided he had to. Then she ramrodded it through the House.

You do not want that.

The elections are so close right now the party needs everyone it can cram under the umbrella.

The sub-30 year old probably need it if they are going to be invested in voting from now on.

The goal of suppressing/subverting the left vote by killing alternative left-wing parties by Democrats is not this:
Republican-lite with voting consistently with right-lite policies versus Republicans with voting consistently with hard-right policies.

The goal is to state if you are leftist the only party is the Democratic party. Thus, democrats are filling file and rank with leftists since they have nowhere else to go.

Earth as a Space Station that is failing:
- Democrats(as a leftist party(the goal from three lines prior)) => Survival of a diverse many
- Republicans(as a rightist party(mental health issues and corporate psy-ops)) => Survival of a select few

People seem to be missing the bigger point that the top three(?) are all resigning and all three are older people like in the 80 year old range. Almost like they talked about doing it.
They will be replaced by younger people. Gen X is taking over.

going to disagree, if you are a conservative your gonna go hopping back to the gop once they clean the shit from the party and we will see it once they have someone semi sane at the helm, trying to court them is a recipe for disaster

Jeffries is going to be an entirely different presence in that role. I think he'll be much more openly combative and aggressive with the GQP. Nancy was more passive about it, but Jeffries won't pull his punches.

You can disagree with Nancy's policies but by all accounts she was a decent human being. Can't say that about the deplorables who mocked the attack on her husband.

Yeah, arguably Biden had the best chance of tumbling trump in 2020, and once chosen the other candidates in the party got behind him.

Which betrays absolutely nothing other than prodding the bigot nerve in their constituency. :rolleyes:

She will go down as one of the greatest, most accomplished speakers in history.

No one else could have gotten as much done with such a microscopic majority. We'll see the opposite end of the spectrum with Mcarthy (however long he lasts).

His multiple mental weaknesses will surely be on exhibit very soon. It will be entertaining and party damaging at the same time.

Dude, come on Civics 101. He was impeached twice.
Partisan attacks and in neither was he found guilty. Try, try to understand, i know it's tough for you, but give it a kindergarten attempt. An impeachment is only an accusation and in this country (United States of America) a person is innocent until proven guilty and he was not convicted.

Reading must be hard for you. Not only did you fail to understand the context of the posters comment but you also fail to understand how impeachment works (hint it doesn’t adhere to the same standards as a court of law).

You’d understand this if you weren’t such a piece of Shit traitor.
