Is not she the governor, or whatever it is called. of California ?
California of the once Bees Gees where now people poop in the streets, use drugs openly, live in tents ?
Where taxes are sky high and massive flight from this state to Texas and others ?
Where no tourists will ever visit again.
I think it says it all.

@toddr13 ok so at one time he was her nephew. Jesus there's still enough of a family connection there for someone to assume she's running California

@Callmewhatyouwill No he wasn't. Your brother-in-law's nephew by marriage is not your nephew. There's no relation to her.
@toddr13 close enough for me.
Still a relation no matter how far removed

WAR ON IRAQ
March 20, 2003 - The day after the war on Iraq was launched, as thousands upon thousands of her constituents were marching in the streets of San Francisco protesting the unilateral invasion, Pelosi was in Congress condemning the demonstrators. She voted that very day for a resolution declaring "unequivocal support and appreciation to the president...for his firm leadership and decisive action." And she used her leadership position in Congress to urge others to sign on to the resolution.
November 2, 2004 - In a referendum put to Pelosi's constituents, 63% voted in favor of the statement, "The federal government should take immediate steps to end the U.S. occupation of Iraq and bring our troops safely home now." This number, 63%, is surely low, as the entire city of San Francisco voted on it, while Pelosi only represents the city's more progressive eastern half.
January 12, 2005 - Two months after the November referendum, Bay Area Congressional Representatives Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Lee, Pete Stark, and Sam Farr joined Democratic colleagues from across the country in signing a letter to President Bush calling for the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq. Pelosi conspicuously refused to sign on.
November 17, 2005 - Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) made a brave, groundbreaking call for immediate withdrawal from Iraq. Pelosi stood up and said, "Representative Murtha speaks for himself." And just one day later, on Nov. 18, 2006, she voted against immediate withdrawal from Iraq. She used her leadership position as House Democratic Leader to encourage others to oppose Murtha. Doing so helped to kill the momentum building at that time to force a timetable for troop withdrawals.
November 30, 2005 - Two weeks later (interestingly, just after local San Francisco Green Medea Benjamin spoke about possibly running against Pelosi), Pelosi reversed course and said she supported Murtha's call for immediate withdrawal. Still, she took no action and refused to use her leadership position to call for a 'party caucus position,' which would have put the majority of the Democratic Party on record against the war and shifted the national debate about the war. Indeed, at a point when two thirds of Americans had acknowledged that the invasion of Iraq was a mistake, and when a majority of Americans began saying that the time had come to start rectifying that mistake by bringing the troops home, Pelosi's actions stalled the national debate and weakened the Democratic Party's stance.
Pelosi has voted again and again to approve ever-increasing military spending. Year after year, she is a reliable ally of the military when they invariably request more. Of specific note, in 2002, she voted for a bill that allocated billions of new money for the development of new "low-yield," "usable" nuclear weapons. In 2003, she voted in favor of a bill that exempted the military from the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
2. PATRIOT ACT
Despite the opposition of San Franciscans, Pelosi did not join – let alone lead – the 66 legislators who opposed this Orwellian legislation. No, she voted for the Patriot Act, which gives enormous, unwarranted power to the executive branch, unchecked by meaningful judicial review. This new authority has been used against American citizens in routine criminal investigations unrelated to terrorism, against immigrants within our borders legally, and against those whose First Amendment activities are deemed by the Attorney General to be threats to national security. Again, she used her powerful leadership position in Congress to urge other representatives to vote with her.
See Pelosi's own words on her promise to "stand shoulder to shoulder with the President" on this and other erosions of civil liberties in the name of fighting terrorism.
3. NSA WIRETAPPING
Pelosi was one of very few legislators who learned about Bush's authorization of secret warrant-less wiretapping of U.S. citizens. She chose to go along with Bush's wishes and to say nothing for six months about this clear violation of the Constitution. "I was advised of President Bush's decision to provide [wiretapping] authority to the National Security Agency...and I have been provided with updates on several occasions," she acknowledged.
She isn't against war at all, she's against a certain party. While that party sucks, knee jerking based on who it comes from isn't a good metric.

She's an 80 year old Power Whore, who wants to keep her speakership in her smelly skeletal fingers, probably well past her own demise. Instead of helping the American people, who desperately need the stimulus package she is holding up with porking up the pork barrel, she is busy ensuring that future Presidents can be taken down directly by Congress.
She wants to destroy the Constitution, destroy the 3 branches of government so that ONLY the legislative branch remains effective, and she wants to control the whole thing.

An example of extreme corruption by perceived power, one who may have started on the journey with an intention to change things in the world, but who is so consumed with "self" that one forgets that they serve the "people." As speaker, that's not just her home district, but every American, and referring to those with whom she does not agree, both in and out of her political view, in a derogatory and dismissive manner reflects poorly on her and the office she has attained. She does not have to be "nice," and in many ways Speaker is not well suited to someone who has to be "nice," but one can be respectful and discharge duties without abusing the position for political gain and headlines.

The poor old woman has had too many facelifts and botox injections. She is crazy as a loon. She honestly needs to be removed from the speaker position as she doesn't care about every day Americans who may need financial aid getting through the pandemic. Horrible person that puts politics ahead of lives.
She's a politician, older than the two Presidential contenders, has a multi thousand dollar refrigerator, has mass amounts of ice cream and possibly vodka in that refrigerator's freezer, and I encourage the old girl to never again kneel down, lest there not be anyone to get her upright again!

She scares little dumpy. I love how she is pursuing the 25th amendment to get rid of the idiot.

Cute...nice one syllable word. Don’t get use to words that are inadequate to express concepts. If you couldn’t tell, let me be the first to inform you, trump’s intellectualism is on the way out. Reality is coming back.

@Pfuzylogic 👍 whatever you say. Can't reason with your fantasy, won't try.
Cute is the only way to describe that little dream of yours.
