Speaker Pelosi looked downright Presidential today, as usual.

A masterful, intelligent, and engaged politician, as usual. We are lucky to have her. She is a credit to our party, as usual.

It vexes the shit outta me watching decades of Republican lies, deceit, and bullshit against another strong Democratic Female politician pull a certain percentage of us to bad mouth her, as usual.


I can't think of a better Democrat these last 30 years than Speaker Nancy Pelosi.


Unless it's Secretary Hillary Clinton.

And gave it to Donald J. Trump.

I'd say it cost Secretary Clinton around 25% of Democratic voters. They been lying on her since 1992. 26 straight years of it, and they got what they wanted.


And it damn near cost Speaker Pelosi her second Speakership.


BECAUSE DEMOCRATS WERE TALKED INTO BAD-MOUTHING THEM.


It vexes me so.

was that Clinton was SOS when the Libyan US consulate was attacked by terrorists or demonstrators. As if she was responsible for everything that happens in the world.

She tried her damdest to get us Obamacare way back in President Clinton's first years in office. I'm not sure if you remember that time but it was something to behold. The level of crap they spoke of her then made Benghazi look quaint.
