TIME asked Nancy Pelosi if Trump's nickname for her, Nervous Nancy, is accurate:

Pelosi has told colleagues she’s had to wear a night guard because the White House makes her grind her teeth in her sleep. But her frustration is born of determination, not unease. In our interview, I asked her if the President’s nickname for her, Nervous Nancy, is accurate. “Pfft,” she says, waving a hand. “He’s nervous. Everything he says, he’s always projecting. He knows the case that can be made against him. That’s why he’s falling apart.”

3. Uuuuh! You know that chaps Trump's ass big time!

“Nervous Nancy” on the cover of Time!

4. Crappy title on the cover. Her Gamble?

Sure you can argue that it is a political risk, but to say it is a gamble is demeaning the situation. Nancy Pelosi is trying to save the institutions that have guided this country (for better or worse) for centuries. She is "All In" on Trump because he is a danger to the rule of law. Even if he is ultimately punished, his behavior has done damage to the foundations of law in this country.

Nothing short of a paradigm shift in how people view government, and their responsibility to educate themselves, be involved, and pick a good government; is going to really improve things.

That said, this who Time Cover is emblematic of what we are facing with regards to information. They demean the situation by focusing on the "gamble" instead of discussing what this really is. Pelosi is in a strategic fight with the GOP over the future of our Democratic Republic.

They ask about a childish nickname. Again, demeaning. It should be a given that his behavior is below the dignity of the office. To even ask the question is insulting to the seriousness of what we are facing as a country.

5. exactly

18. Oh, it's gambling

One roll, all or nothing, stakes are the republic itself. Even if you have a huge advantage fate can go against you. But taking the bet is the smart thing to do, and necessary too.

22. they value political machinations

The story is superficial--focusing on tactics, manipulation, and using loaded words like "gamble." Asking about the childish nickname is insulting. No wonder she occasionally loses her temper with some of these idiotic questions.

I really liked what you wrote: Nancy Pelosi is trying to save the institutions that have guided this country (for better or worse) for centuries. She is "All In" on Trump because he is a danger to the rule of law. Even if he is ultimately punished, his behavior has done damage to the foundations of law in this country.

Don't these reporters have a memory? If they did, they would recall that it wasn't easy to get Pelosi to take this move. She said "Donald Trump isn't worth it." Paragraph after paragraph of this article deals with risk taking and tactics.

And it's not as if this reporter doesn't understand better. The article states:

But she is careful to cast impeachment not as a political gambit but as a project to preserve the checks and balances of American democracy. “That’s my responsibility: to protect the Constitution of the United States,” she says.

It's totally a decision of values, and the writers and editors valued maneuvering over the more noble motive of protecting American institutions. I am disgusted.

23. Couldn't agree more!

Was going to post something similar.

[PSPS]

6. TIME sure delves into the important things, doesn't it?

What next? Ask every politician if the schoolyard nickname trump has for them "is accurate?"

Congressman Schiff, is "shifty schiff" accurate?
Senator Clinton, is "crooked hillary" accurate?
Senator Biden, is "sleepy joe" accurate?

What a pant load.

8. TIME Magazine must have sat down to think about the cover, and the questions was

"How can we piss the piece of shit in the WH?" And in chorus they all answered "Lets have Pelosi on the cover."

Because the idiot doesn't read, he won't know or care about the article, but THE COVER, THAT will give him a stomach ache, his little heart will pound in anger, his little brain will hurt...THE COVER!! He is not on it, only his last name as being pounded by a woman.

I think I am enjoying the cover...

[sarge43]

10. TIME probably had a good idea how Madam Speaker would reply to the question,

what her answer would most likely be .. yeah, that one. She doesn't pull punches.

So, just another way to grind Moron's gears.

If so, well played, TIME, well played.

9. Someone should mail framed prints of this cover to all Trump properties....

to give those damn places some class.....

[Stonepounder]

11. I suspect that she will go down in the history books as one of the best Speakers

we have ever had. We get frustrated because she doesn't do what we think she should be doing and the, when she finally does make a move, we realize that she was light years ahead of us.

You go girl

[Duppers]

12. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Trump has never met anyone like Nancy Pelosi & that is why she makes him nervous. She has intelligence and resolve.

[paleotn]

13. They're obviously...

from the Chuck Todd school of journalism. It's like asking a veteran astronaut if they're worried about the flat earth hypothesis.

[FuzzyRabbit]

14. Journalism 2020 style

TIME asked Nancy Pelosi if Trump's nickname for her, Nervous Nancy, is accurate:

This example of hard-headed reporting is another reason why thinking people have so little respect for "journalists" today.

[onetexan]

15. Agree, thats an insulting questionto be asked of the Speaker

She handled it with grace as usual. The interviewer is an idiot.

[Bradical79]

16. This picture says it all...

[KPN]

17. Lol. Slam dunk!

Well done Madame Soeaker! And thanks for being you when we need you!

[trueblue2007]

19. Nancy Pelosi is my hero.

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. Mess with this woman...

..and be prepared to take a whuppin' you'll never forget.

She is making Trump look like a monkey at every turn.

[BlueStater]

21. The asshat is calling her "Crazy Nancy" now.

"Nervous Nancy" didn't catch on, apparently.
