The whole Pelosi thing.

Tell me again how great Pelosi is and how much she deserves the speakership.

I'm not thrilled with Pelosi, but I also don't mind that she is there. She is there for a function. 1) She knows how to be the speaker. 2) She isnt' going to run for President, but she can be Trumps enemy in congress who he lashes out at, protecting those who do run for President. 3) Nothing is going to pass for the next 2 years, and certainly not any progressive reforms that would also require Senate approval, so BFD. 4) This is probably thought of as protecting districts that tend to swing back and forth, rather than placate progressive districts that will vote D no matter what.

the fact that she and Schumer duped the racist, bigoted christian sexual predator into saying he'd be "proud to shut down the government.. and I won't even blame you" on live TV was reason enough to re-elect her as Speaker.

Exactly. The next 2 years are kinda critical. You don't roll the dice with a noob.

yep.

Madam Speaker quotes Ronald Reagan in her speech...

then smiles.. and calls out Republicans for not clapping....

(they're now the Party of Putin, I reckon).

My new House representative voted "Present" today for the speaker position. Drama!

I saw that news earlier and can't pin down her motivation yet. Her opposition's campaign ads said she was bought and paid for by Pelosi.

She apparently pledged on the trail to not vote for her. So she didn't.

Oh, to prove she wasn't bought & paid for by Pelosi.

Why in the fuck is Pelosi pushing a bill to call into question the ability of trump to fulfill his duties.

Why why why. Stay the fuck quiet. This reeks of an attention grab.

Why now.

I totally agree. Now is not the time

It's not like his conduct has been out of step with what we've come to expect of him, so yeah, this seems pointless and dumb.

Bigger fish, Nancy.

Maybe to stop the judge vote?

I think it’s probably part of a coordinated strategy related to the legal challenges expected with the election.

He is more erratic than usual, even for him. He's on a steroid that causes mood swings, euphoria, etc. He's on experimental drugs and a mix that no one has taken and that no one knows what the effect will be. The Joint Chiefs are in quarantine.

This is potentially a very serious national security situation with our command and control at least somewhat disrupted, and it is a very legitimate question to ask whether or not he is capable of discharging his duties (relative to his normal). And it isn't like we can get straight answers from the WH.

Politics are likely behind it, sure, but these are legitimate discussions apart from politics.

Is it really possible for him to be more erratic than usual? Maybe I've missed a few things in the past week, but I think he's kind of always like this.

Nancy is a Queen.

She’s clearly slipping.

No idea, I would imagine he probably has lots of unflattering things to say about her. She's very much a part of the Democrat establishment, and he very much hates the Democrat establishment.

For steve:

My favorite part is when he reads tweets. /s

Predictable he would have this take. He’s horrible but for you I’ll watch it after my morning coffee and break it down.

Good job by Nancy. Now people are talking about her instead of Biden.

Sorry couldn't make it past 6 minutes, that guy SUUUUUUUUUCKS.

I suspect if she had worked with him to pass the bill he'd make a video full of his usual hatred for working with the republicans.

Also, one little snippet he said 'instead of giving people healthcare' he clearly doesn't understand how government works. Nancy Pelosi alone can't just give people health care. I think this source of his anger is based on his own ignorance.

6 Minutes? Damn. I couldn't make it through the first minute.

Yeah, it took everything I had. My advice to him is if you are going to spew horseshit over the internet at least figure out how to be entertaining.
