2000+ pages,the GOP could give a crap less. They see the hand writing and they are going to take care of their Donors and fund their pet projects,and,dump the distaste on the new Democratic Congress to clean up.

We have seen this game before. They are counting on 2020 elections. Replay of 1999.

10. That's my question as well. I listened to an hour of Pelosi bashing on NPR this afternoon.

Crystal Ball, who's in cahoots with Tim Ryan, Seth Moulton and others have made it their mission to oust Pelosi. The reasons they give sound soooooo Republican. Since when do we allow Republicans to decide who we (Democrats) choose to lead us? Crystal is on my shit list. She, and those like her, are giving ammo to Republicans, and I think it's meant to divide us.

and don't forget Kathleen Rice, that fierce Rep. is anchoring for Nancy's position though she says she's for Ryan. As I understand it they were humiliated by their strategy last time they tried Nancy on, so we'll see. And Ryan is an admitted corporatist.

15. It's funny they don't go after Schumer, nor did they go after Harry Reid in the same way. My hunch

is there's a bit of misogyny going on as well. Crystal Ball claims that women are having a hard time running & winning because Pelosi is such a good target for the Republicans. Why would we want to attract the kind of people Crystal and her cohorts are trying to reach? I wish she would just admit that she's a Republican at her core, and leave us the hell alone.

Schumer got a pass when he turned his back on PBO, what do you think would've been the result if she did that. And what has Tim RYan done that makes him such a leader. I'll tell you, nada, zip, nothing. Let's see him stand in the house for 8 hours in heels defending Dreamers.

17. He's done absolutely nothing that I can see. Look, if Nancy wants to give up leadership, I'm cool..

with that. As long as it's her decision. I don't want to feel, in any way, that she was pushed out because of the blue dogs. If that happens, I may have to truly question my loyalty to the party I love.

There was a thread somewhere yesterday where a poster admitted, truthfully, he wanted white men elected. I'm done with that and so are the demographics.
