The Iron Became Hot & Nancy Said Strike

[Me.]

Her timing is fab. Funny, I've seen several men giving her on-air advice on how to proceed forward. Now, these same men were after her for the last several months to impeach and impeach immediately. If she had, we wouldn't have this moment when impeachment has a very good chance at succeeding.

[calguy]

1. She was waiting for him to "self impeach"

He did not disappoint.

[Me.]

2. Precisely

she's brilliant

[Cirque du So-What]

3. Plenty of armchair-quarterbacking here on DU as well

The most vocal among them have been conspicuous in their absence lately.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

28. By armchair quarterbacking assume you mean most

All of our nominees, 73% of our Party, a majority of the Dems in the House, 10 plus million who signed moveon petition, countless respected liberal voices, plus anyone here who has been for holding him accountable since day 1 ? If so, glad to be on that side !!

Just thankful everyone finally got on board!

[Cirque du So-What]

41. I've been in the ITMF corner all along as well

I didn't want House leadership to send something half-baked that was doomed to failure. I trust Nancy Pelosi in her judgment to wait until something iron-clad came along.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

46. I appreciate that!! Never heard anyone actually say that..

Only the last part over and over

I do remember thinking though, how can one actually say, "I am waiting for him to do something worse?". You couldn't PR that.

Yet I wonder if what would have happened if everyone DID treat what he had done already as the worst. That is what always seemed missing. The utter outrage and declaration that the Mueller crimes were impeachable offenses.

5. Strike while the iron is hot!

Otherwise it will leave wrinkles. We want them all ironed out!

[Me.]

6. ...

[sheshe2]

7. Hey

[Laura PourMeADrink]

47. More like strike when a part of the 28% of our Party

thinks the iron is hot

[mcar]

8. She is a fcking political genius

These men need to sit down.

[Skittles]

9. he forced her hand

a lot of damage was done in the meantime

[Me.]

10. He Never Had The Upper Hand

[Skittles]

12. if it wasn't for the whistle blower, we would still be in the dark

and TRUMP INC would be doing their business as usual, all over the world

[Me.]

13. We Shall Disagree

I think Nancy, from long experience, knew sooner or later he would do himself in...how many of us thought something similiar...when would the snow on the roof become too heavy if you get what I mean.

You think differently...it doesn't really matter as long as he goes.

[Skittles]

14. OK

I just think it's the whistle blower(s) who are "fab", and I hope they keep coming

[Me.]

15. Whistle Blowers Are

But so is she and despite ENORMOUS pressure held the line

[Cha]

36. Jeeze.. it's weird how some refuse

to give Nancy Pelosi the credit she deserves.. and who is "FAB".. and of course the whistle Blower is too.

The Stars were aligned. They don't realize that all their pounding on Nancy did not one bit of good.

Mahalo, Me

[Me.]

49. She Took Tons Of Grief

and not for the first time.

For Nancy

and this for you

[Cha]

50. Yes, she did .. I had to get

out for awhile it was so abusive to Nancy.

They don't realize Nancy knows what she's doing and they're not smarter than she is.

Aloha Hoa!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. So true. The whistle blower and the evil monster

In the WH. He got away with the crimes in Mueller's report so he struck again in Europe.

[malaise]

11. They are going to take that vote

Lots of them are going down

[Nitram]

16. The skies cleared, the sun came out, and Nancy said "Time to make hay!"

[Skidmore]

17. She knows how

to deal with children.

[NurseJackie]

18. Nancy Pelosi still hasn't received an apology from a certain Democratic lawmaker who has said...

Nancy Pelosi still hasn't received an apology from a certain Democratic lawmaker who has said some very insulting things about her. Something like that can't be excused by blaming it on "youth" or "inexperience" or "impatient frustration"... I blame it on a lack of respect and decency and an unwillingness to give credit where it's due.

All I'm saying is... the attacks, insults and smears on Nancy Pelosi were so unfair and so unnecessary... it only served to create resentment which leads to division and distrust. And things like that weaken our party. I do not understand why anyone would do or say things that weaken Democrats... because that (obviously) benefits Trump, the GOP, and Russia.

[George II]

20. Let me correct your last sentence.....

"I do not understand why a DEMOCRAT would do or say things that weaken Democrats...."

[NurseJackie]

22. That's a very important distinction to make. Thank you!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. The polar opposite view...that the delay and lack

of action and commitment weakened the Party. Not standing up to him until he did something even worse. Hopefully people will forget that and focus on our now united front against him.

[Cha]

38. No. It was the perfect time.

[Me.]

23. Not Holding Breath

Hopefully, lessons are being learned. Watch and learn children.

[melman]

29. That certain Democratic lawmaker was 100% right

and owes an apology to no one.

[NurseJackie]

30. ...

[melman]

31. Yeah

Laugh-y gifs. That's the expected response but your laugh-y gifs don't make you right.

[NurseJackie]

32. Of course it doesn't "make" me right...

That's the expected response

That's all that's warranted, actually. Anyone who wants a better response from me should avoid making such absurd and laughable statements.

your laugh-y gifs don't make you right.

Of course it doesn't "make" me right. I was already right to begin with. My laughing at the absurd responses and "retorts" is just an extension of the fact that I was right from the start. It's all that's needed.

Have a nice day!

[melman]

33. "I was already right to begin with"

You weren't.


"Anyone who wants a better response from me"


I don't.


"avoid making such absurd and laughable statements"


I didn't. I'm right and you know it.

[NurseJackie]

34. ...

I didn't. I'm right and you know it.

[melman]

35. Yes

I'm right and you know it. Clearly.


We're done here.

[NurseJackie]

37. Thanks for giving-up so easily.

I'm right and you know it. Clearly.

We're done here.

Thanks for giving-up so easily. That only serves to confirm that I was right from the beginning.

[melman]

39. I didn't give up

I won. No need to drag this on. It's over. I was right, I won and it's over.

[NurseJackie]

40. Yes you did.

I didn't give up

Yes you did. You said "We're done here" .. but with my superior intellect and knowing which buttons to press, I was able to drag you back and force you to reply to me. I'm in complete control.

I was right, I won and it's over.

No, you weren't. It's over when I say it's over. It's not over.

[melman]

42. "It's over when I say it's over"

Someone's buttons are pushed all right..but not mine.




"but with my superior intellect and knowing which buttons to press, I was able to drag you back and force you to reply to me. I'm in complete control."



Bragging about 'superior intellect' on the internet.




Good lord.

[NurseJackie]

44. Thanks for proving my point.

Someone's buttons are pushed all right..but not mine.

You're the one who keeps responding to me... so that proves my point. I know exactly what to say to make you reply to me again and again. I'm in complete control.

"It's over when I say it's over"

Again, thanks for proving my point.

Bragging about 'superior intellect' on the internet.

Not the entire internet... just this subthread.

[George II]

54. ...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

43. You, Melman, are 100% correct!

[melman]

45. The revisionist history on this is driving me insane

The people that dragged their feet and stalled are heroes and the people that were right all along owe them apologies?


I don't think so.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

51. I know. I think it may be a defensive posture of some sort?

And a kind of relief that has to be played out and justified retroactively? I want to focus on the good side that we are all united now - holding MF45 to justice.

[Cha]

52. No she was NOT.

[ConnorMarc]

19. Interesting.

[George II]

21. With the speed and depth that this inquiry is proceeding, I'm positive this "inquiry"....

...has been going on for months, and she now sees that it's time to pounce.

[Xipe Totec]

24. Shit is going to hit the fan base. nt

[neeksgeek]

27. A relevant quote:

A proficient warrior seeks victory by employing opportune timing. Sun Tzu - The Art of War

[Laura PourMeADrink]

48. Or this one

When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike, you do not wait until he has struck to crush him.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

[Cha]

53. Nancy knows what she's doing.. the timing

was perfect.
