The only thing worse for Trump than having a Democratic woman as Speaker

[EffieBlack]

is the fact that that woman is Nancy Pelosi, the baddest of the baddasses who is on her second tour of duty as Speaker so she has no learning curve ...

She's hitting the ground running ...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. I can hardly wait to see what mischief she has in store for that dipshit!

[Stuart G]

3. Nancy has a whole lot of expertise..in causing.."mischief"...she ain't "new." and..

Nancy has been around the block a whole lot of times.. More times than dipshit Trump can count..

[czarjak]

8. Trump's never even turned a corner!

[LuckyLib]

17. She knows about government and how it works. How congress functions (or doesn't) and how

to get things done. Trump knows nothing. Wait til he starts pontificating again, and she shuts him down: "That's not how it works, Mr. President."

[jmowreader]

38. It is not "mischief"

She is going to rip the entire Trump administration such an asshole the GOP will be begging the Democrats to impeach the bastard before anyone connects the Trumps to them.

[Baltimike]

2. It REALLY WAS crazy how they tried to pigeon hole her, and weigh her down

absolutely nuts.

[sheshe2]

4. Waiting to exhale.

5. In high heels.

[sdfernando]

46. The Devil Wears Prada!....but in this case

she ain't the devil...she is an Angel!

[yellowdogintexas]

51. and backwards nt

[leanforward]

6. It makes me extremely happy, estatic to know Speaker Pelosi is coming back.

I'm waiting for action after handing over the gavel. Passing a clean CR. It would be nice if it mirrors the Senate Bill.

Also, I would like to see somewhere, the disaster relief supplemental appropriation.

[BadgerMom]

7. So thrilled!

Can’t wait!

[Yavin4]

9. She's gonna need a box of tissues at the SOTU

Mike Pence will start crying because he's sitting next to a woman that's not his wife.

[iluvtennis]

12. LOL

[akraven]

13. Or his mommy! n/t

[lunatica]

41. "Mother" is his wife.

[akraven]

52. LOL! I know, but it's a fun dig at him.

He's as much a jerk as sTrump!

[Muzilee10]

15. Little stuffed suit

PENCY, the Elf, may be sitting next to the next POTUS. Best case: DIpshit gone somehow, Pency being investigated for a few aiding-and-abetting felonies and President Pelosi.

[2naSalit]

10. Less than a week...

*sigh*

[NurseJackie]

11. Nancy rocks! No learning curve!

[Danascot]

14. She's already beaten the crap out of him a couple of times

and she hasn't even gotten out of the starting gate.

[FreepFryer]

16. And she will be nipping at his and Pence's heels, the successor should they relinquish their..

...stolen offices.

[spanone]

18. ...and he knows nothing. nada. zip. ziltch. zero

[kimbutgar]

19. Saw her marching in heels down Market St. in SF on a tax protest in April.

She is a badass!

[NBachers]

20. This isn't a job you hand over to a gotta-figure-it-out neophyte. We need the best, we got the best.

[Marie Marie]

24. Yes, experience counts and that has got to be learned.

Nancy's got it.

[mcar]

21. The boogey woman!

[Pluvious]

22. With Maxine as wingman ...

On our bus to Never Never Land !!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

25. "I'm reclaiming my time"

Google the video of the gentleman singing five part harmony to "I'm Reclaiming My Time."

You will not be disappointed, I guarantee it. I watched it five times in a row. I'm still gut-laughing.

[Pluvious]

37. Thanks Haggis - that had some soul !

Nice to see more inspired creativity from politics.

( now I've got it running as an earworm lol )

[Heartstrings]

23. I am so ready!

Bring it ladies!

[Bluepinky]

26. Love me some Nancy P. You go, girl!

[calimary]

27. Uh-HUH. I bet she won't declare impeachment off the table this time.

She damn well better not!

[radical noodle]

28. And Nancy is backed by the brilliant

and outspoken Maxine Waters. I cannot wait to see them in action!

[True Blue American]

29. Schiff is hiring experts on money

Laundering. He said he would concentrate on that. Nunes better watch out,too.

[True Blue American]

30. I admit I was wrong

On needing new blood. But there are new ones in trainng. I think that is perfect.

[EffieBlack]

31. Exactly! A winning combination!

[True Blue American]

32. Now, I guess Trump

Will forget about calling Hillary names and tweet about,” Crooked Nancy”!

[EffieBlack]

33. LOL!

Yep. But he's in for a rude awakening. Unlike Hillary, who was walking a fine, treacherous line trying to push back on him while trying to appeal to a majority of voters, Pelosi isn't running for anything or against anybody. Her only job is to represent, protect and advance the interests of her caucus and, in her spare time, smack Trump around.

He won't know what hit him.

[True Blue American]

34. I know not to

Wish my life away, but I can not wait until Jan 3rd!

[uponit7771]

35. +1

[IronLionZion]

40. Their time will come. In the meantime they can learn a lot from Nancy

[ROB-ROX]

36. Nancy is going to make him a NANCY

Nancy is from California. Nancy is a woman. Nancy is smarter then him....I could say more but he is DONE all we have to do is stick a "fork" in him.......

[IronLionZion]

39. Well, he likes getting spanked

and has paid for it in the past but Pelosi will spank him really hard for free

[SleeplessinSoCal]

42. this fight is right up his alley.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/team-trump-gleeful-that-shutdown-will-hijack-pelosis-big-moment?ref=home

[EffieBlack]

44. No, it's not. Not at all.

First of all, Trump is about to face something he has NEVER dealt with in his life: powerful woman who is not afraid of him, has a significant measure of control and power over him, and is not competing with him for something. This is not going to be pleasant for him at all.

Second, the shutdown won't in any way "hijack Pelosi's big moment." Her return as Speaker is huge, no matter what else is going on and whether or not folks throw up a lot of bells and whistles around it. Moreover "big moment" is not her acenscion - it will last for the next two years.

Not only isn't this "right up his alley," it's not in his alley at all and, in fact, is an alley he's never even been in and has no idea how to navigate.

[ehrnst]

43. k&R

[FiveGoodMen]

45. I hope it all goes well, but

the woman who took any chance of impeachment for Dubya "off the table" is not remotely "the baddest of the baddasses".

What sort of wishful thinking binge are we on here?

[EffieBlack]

47. Whatever

But let's be clear: Nancy Pelosi didn't "take impeachment off the table." The Democratic Caucus refused to put it on the table.

Pelosi did the counting, assessed where her caucus was, knew that there were not the votes for impeachment - not even close - and understood that, unless constituents across the country drastically changed their minds and started putting heavy pressure on their representatives to pursue impeachment instead of trying to achieve other legislative goals that would improve their lives, making impeachment a priority was not only a waste of time but would likely doom Democrats' chances in 2008. And then she told us the truth.

That's one of the things badasses do ...

[Silver Gaia]

48. Yes. Thank you for stating the TRUTH.

[certainot]

49. but dems collectively will not be able to say they got her back until they

stop ignoring talk radio

the recent shutdown/wall event got blamed on talk radio/limbaugh, finally, but if that fades away the trump base will continue to sound like 40 or 50% instead of 10% and 1500 putin/gop-coordinated radio stations.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

50. I like how you put that!
