CONGRATULATIONS to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

[Valerie]

...

if the sovereignty of the United States is under attack at your southern border...

fake news

 

[easyt65]

They’re already turning on each other. Crazy Bernie fans are still bitter about Crooked Hillary. Then the Crazy Eyed Cortez already has challenged Pelosi. Get the popcorn ready for a Democrat implosion.

I love it. Cortez has already pissed off Pelosi by participating in a sit-in protest in Pelosi's office after winning her election.

Republicans must be FREAKING OUT after that speech.

She talked about:

equality for gays

Helping American workers

bigger paychecks

infrastructure

leaving a better country for our kids

and more that would help the middle class.

Republicans hate that kind of talk. Let me rephrase that. Republicans make a similar talk but we all know it's bullsh!t. Republicans only help the very rich. Well, when Democrats are in power, they help all Americans, not just the white and rich.

Yep, there's a new sheriff in town.

Amid the wreckage, one happy 2019 thought: Democrats will be able to subpoena Trump

Look at all the corruption even with Republican attempts to cover it all up. Those days are over. America wants to know what Republicans have been doing behind the curtain. Now we drag their corruption out into the light of day and see how bad the damage from GOP Looting.

 

[BlueGin]

She was just elected. A great day for American democracy. What do you think?

She's there to kill single payer.

I sure hope not.

Notice how when Corey Booker went down to "endorse" Gillum, Gillum never said another word about single payer afterward? Booker's funded by pharma.

Dick Gephardt had a lobbying firm up and running to cockblock single payer within a month after he left "public" life. The Wall Street donor/"job creator" class always has it covered "both" ways. If the people want that, they'd better get out in the streets.

Most Democrats are backed by big Pharma.

Pelosi's 1st Task As Speaker - Prevent A Liberal Revolt

"House Democratic leaders are set to advance sweeping internal rules changes Thursday that would attempt to bring more sunshine to congressional governance and defuse a pair of political powder kegs that wreaked havoc on GOP leaders over the past eight years.

But in their first day of power in the new Congress, Democrats must stave off a liberal rebellion after prominent Democrats said they would oppose the entire rules package that has been carefully assembled by Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and a top lieutenant."

What was the near revolt about?

Liberals Do Not Want To Be Held Fiscally Responsible In Regards To Their Spending, Signaling They Are Fully Embracing DEFICIT SPENDING As The Take Control Of The Budget / Spending / Economy"

"Rep. Ro Khanna of California and Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York said they would vote against the rules changes - in the second vote Democrats will take in the majority after ostensibly electing Pelosi as the new speaker - because of the inclusion of a fiscal measure known as "pay as you go," or PAYGO. That rule, echoing a provision in federal law and in the Senate's rules, would require the House to offset any spending so as not to increase the budget deficit."

I agree with not supporting Paygo
It is a sham

Why would the GOP freak out about anything the boney Alzheimer's-ridden extremist says..... Oh, you think anyone actually gives a crap what she says. I get it - that's funny.

Ummm....you do realize that while Trump had an affair before he ran for office approx. 60+ Democrats, while in office, sexually harassed and assaulted women FOR DECADES, refused to sop it and hold those who did so accountable, and instead created a committee whose sole reason for existing was to illegally use tax dollars to buy the silence of their victims, right?

John Conyers is somewhere laying low enjoying his tax payer-funded huge retirement benefits package instead of rotting in a prison cell where he belongs, thanking God and his fellow Democrats that his crimes / actions were not highlighted and that he was not publicly attacked as the Democrats are trying to do to Trump.

No

Like Reid, McConnell is table anything he knows the president won't sign.

Only time Trump is likely to see Pelosi, Waters, or Cortez is at the SOTU.


(or when the come crawling to his door, asking for help)

 

[conserveguy877]

When are they going to ask Pelosi how her bought and paid vacation by tax payers was during the shutdown? Especially while the president has been working in the Oval Office.

Had hope for a new face, Nancy is good at her job that's how she got back in. if she will mentor someone younger to replace her for 2020, & keeps the radicals in check that would be good.

WOW that's a pretty low bar there Shittingbull. None of them are top drawer.

Pelosi should retire and Waters is dumber than a box of rocks and that an insult to the box of rocks. Ocasio is new and has no power at all.

Better rethink your post there dummy. LOL

Nancy Pelosi Elected Speaker Of The House

House Democrats overwhelmingly cast their votes for the long-serving California representative on Thursday.

WASHINGTON ― After quashing a small revolt in her own caucus around Thanksgiving, Nancy Pelosi reclaimed the House speakership Thursday, becoming the first politician in 58 years to take back the gavel.

Pelosi was elected 220-192, with 12 Democrats voting for someone other than the California Democrat and three voting simply “present.”

Pelosi’s path back to House speaker wasn’t easy. Part of the reason Republicans were able to win back the House majority in 2010 was through a “Fire Pelosi” campaign that made her toxic in some Republican-leaning districts, and Republicans have run on a similar playbook for every election since, including in 2018.

A number of freshman Democrats made promises during the campaign to not support Pelosi if they were elected to Congress, and 10 stood by that vow, voting either “present” or for someone else.

Nancy Pelosi Elected Speaker Of The House

A great day for American democracy. What do you think?

I agree with you.

The last time Nancy was Speaker of the house she passed legislation that would have helped America a lot but most of it died in the senate from republican filibuster.


Those who don't like our jobs moving to other nations should have agreed with her when she passed legislation that removed all tax benefits for moving off shore and included tax encouragements to bring those jobs back.


That like so many other good pieces of legislation were filibustered and killed by republicans in the senate.

I hope they all find a way to work together for the good of our nation.
