Pelosi gets her swagger on

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Nancy Pelosi has her swagger back after a stellar week for the California Democrat, who is expected to make history next month by beginning a second Speakership in the House.

First, she baited President Trump into taking the blame for a potential government shutdown during a dramatic, televised showdown in the Oval Office.

The image of Pelosi strutting out of the White House meeting in a red wool jacket and pair of sunglasses quickly went viral, and even prompted the coat designer to bring back the discontinued piece.

Then, the very next day, Pelosi struck a deal with a rebellious group of Democrats who were hell-bent on ousting her from leadership, winning over more than enough holdouts to deliver her the Speakership in January.

1. I just love those California Girls

2. I'm glad she's been accepted by majority. I do understand why a lot of Dems want "new blood"! But

right now I believe we need an experienced Speaker to deal with McTurtle and his group of jackasses and beat them. P:lease support Nancy and give some of the newbie Dems a chance to learn how congress works.

3. I love California girls too,

but isn't Nancy from New Jersey?

5. Considering how many decades of her life she's been here, she's definitely a California Girl!

Sure, she's got Baltimore, MD roots (and good ones they are, considering she was raised up by a great mayor who taught her the ropes from birth) but -- she's ours.

6. She was born in Baltimore, MD.

Her father was the mayor of Baltimore.

The words "New Jersey" are nowhere on her Wikipedia page.

4. She is smart, strong and experienced...you can't go wrong with that combo.

7. No better leader to teach the newbies all of the ins and outs that she had to learn the hard way.

Once they learn the basics, they can take over and put their own spin on things.

8. Pelosi brought in your face intelligence, wisdom, experience & class to Trump. &OMG that coat!

Two years Melania's been trying to be a fashion icon ( esp w those hideous big belts) & Pelosi dazzles everybody in her flawlessly sophisticated two year old, regular coat.

9. Yeah, that's true- Malevolent's mis-cues on clothes, or total lack of 'em, have been overshadowed

by Nancy's make-it-look-easy class and glamour.
