[SheltieLover]

1. Ty, Nancy!

We appreciate you more than words can say!

[yellowdogintexas]

99. There are not enough words in The English Language to show the appreciation

the nation owes her.

She gave me hope just about every day. I am glad she is staying in the House; think about the mentorship she can provide to the younger members (especially the young women) .

A Master Class in government!

[SheltieLover]

101. I hope they realize how fortunate they are to be mentored by her!

Wow! Considering this opportunity for our younger members of Congress.

You're sure right about Nanxy giving us hope. Every. Day!
Along with some much needed schadenfreude & deep belly laughs.

[Trailrider1951]

3. We really appreciate your hard work, Madame Speaker

We could not have accomplished everything we have in those years without you. Please stay and be a mentor to our younger Democrats.

[lostnfound]

7. Especially for her actions on January 6th, focused on getting the electoral count certified.

[ZonkerHarris]

11. Combat experience

[Wild blueberry]

8. Thank you

[cilla4progress]

9. Will really miss her.

I think she feels it's time in any case, but the attack on her husband was probably the final straw.

[we can do it]

12. We can't thank you enough 💕💕💕💕

[UTUSN]

13. Huzzah HUZZAH *HUZZAH*!!!!!!!!!!

[Marthe48]

15. Thank you for serving

for sticking to the high road, and not only guiding us, but showing every other politician how it's done!

Man, I will miss Madame Speaker.

[lark]

16. Cheers for the best Speaker of the House in my lifetime.

Nancy proved her worth on 1/6 when she took charge and got the treason stopped and still certified the election the same day. What a freaking boss!! Damn, I will miss her brilliance, but she deserves some rest. Hopefully whoever they pick as next leader will grow into having comparable skills!

[Blappy]

17. I liked Ike

but I truly fancy Nancy!!

Thank you for all you've done to preserve the Republic, Madame Speaker! You rock!!

[Richard D]

18. On of the most admirable peole I have known of.

Great appreciation!

[Ohio Joe]

19. Thank you for everything Madam Speaker

Well done and much appreciated

[Vinca]

20. Great speech. Great woman.

[fishwax]

21. a great american!

[wnylib]

22. Greatest Speaker in US history because,

although we have had some really good Dem Speakers, none have dealt with the kinds of issues and political atmosphere that Nancy Pelosi has guided the country through. She faced down an entire political party that has fascism and treason as their central unifying platform.

She confronted Trump fearlessly. She led us through J6 and it's aftermath.

Now she can guide other party members with her wisdom.

Thank you Madame Speaker for your dedicated service to the nation and to the principles of democracy.



And this once again in honor of the time when Madame Speaker used it so well.

[BadgerMom]

23. The best! Thank you.

[virgdem]

24. Thank you, Madam Speaker

Your service and steadfast commitment to our country has been unparalleled. We will miss you.

and the example she sets for women in leadership roles.

Total admiration....

[ancianita]

26. Speaker Pelosi is legend.

[Mr.Bill]

28. Every young person in congress that has leadership

aspirations should wear a wristband that says WWND.

What Would Nancy Do?

[ZonkerHarris]

59. love that

[William769]

29. Thank you Mad 'am speaker!

[bdamomma]

30. Thank You Madam Speaker

there are NOT enough Thank You's for her. But she has committed her life to a job well done. There will never be another Nancy Pelosi.

[mcar]

33. GOAT

She has served - and led - our country so well. Thank you Madam Speaker!

[BlueMTexpat]

34. She has set the bar

VERY high! Bravissima, Speaker Pelosi!

[denvine]

35. Thank You Madam Speaker!

[rurallib]

36. Incredibly organized, well reasoned with a cutting wit

Perhaps the greatest single political moment I remember is her tearing up Trump's SOTU speech. Did that ever cut his legs out from under him. She battled America's worst president and (IMHO) beat him.

[lambchopp59]

89. It was the perfect punctuation to that stinking turd of a "speech".

[tavernier]

37. Thank you!!

Our Wonder Woman!

[Nululu]

38. Your bravery and determination an example to all.

I'll always remember her in the room with Trump, surrounded by men, and standing for America.

We were fortunate to have her.

[Joinfortmill]

39. God bless and thank you.

[CaptainTruth]

40. I would say she's been amazing.

THANK YOU NANCY!!!

[Paladin]

41. God bless and keep you, Madame Speaker.

Such a privilege, having you represent me and my loved ones.

[lees1975]

42. Thank You, very much Madame Speaker!

You will go down in history as the best speaker of the House of all time. Tip was great, Nancy was the one for such a time as this.

[Lucinda]

43. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️ She held the country together

during some dark days...Cant imagine what the country would be like without her...

[vlyons]

44. Madame Speaker, you impressed me so much, when you said

that you would never ask a colleage to vote against their conscience. Thank you for your brilliant leadership and wonderful sense of humor.

[raging moderate]

45. Thank you, Madame Speaker!

[Easterncedar]

46. The Hero of January 6

What a miracle we had her there

[iemanja]

47. If you want to thank Nancy with a donation to the Warnock campaign in her honor

Do so here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/duforwarnock

Next week we'll be sending the Pelosi's a beautiful bouquet of flowers along with a card letting her know how much we raised in her honor. The current total is $3349. Let's make it an even $5k folks!

[CaptainTruth]

48. "I want to see him in prison."

Commenting on Donald Trump:

"I want to see him in prison."
Nancy Pelosi, June 2019

I truly hope she gets her wish.

[Wishful-Thinking]

49. Speaker Pelosi is the epitome of grace under pressure.

Thanks to her for the example she has set for all women and girls everywhere!

[YoshidaYui]

50. The city of SAN FRANCISCO appreciates Nancy Pelosi

[Cha]

51. To Nancy Pelosi.. from the

bottom of my Heart Thank You So Much For Everything you've done For America the last 20 years!

[geardaddy]

52. K&R!

[W_HAMILTON]

53. We will inevitably miss her strength and leadership.

We can only hope this much-asked-for new generation of leadership is half as capable and competent as the outgoing one...

[vanlassie]

54. Proud Californian Thanks Speaker Pelosi!

[TNNurse]

55. I want to support term limits

and then I think...Nancy Pelosi.

We owe her a lot.

[yellowdogintexas]

100. AMEN! Term limits would have denied us some really great public servants:

Senator Ted Kennedy
Speaker Sam Rayburn
Speaker Jim Wright
Speaker Tip O'Neill


Speaker Wright's opinion on term limits: "I am against them, and not just because I was in the House for so long. This is why: it takes a minimum of two House terms to really learn the job and be effective for the folks you represent. Hiring a good staff, authoring bills, following protocol and procedure are just a few things that need to be learned. We already have term limits - they are called elections."

The one reason against returning your Representative or Senator: voters will tell you they want change in Congress - as long as I get to keep the one I have. This is fabulous when your rep is a Nancy Pelosi or Jamie Raskin or Adam Schiff ( to name a few) but when you have a Gohmert, or one of those 2 idiots from AZ or the Crazy Ladies not so much actually.) The House members who are returned to office speak volumes about their constituents.

[Duppers]

56. tavernier above named it: Nancy is "Wonder Woman"!!

nt

[usonian]

57. Here goes again. She has magic powers and can get out the volts!

Another outstanding person to get the message out. We have a great collection of people to do so.

And on the way out, unlike Nixon:

She can step down with honor, having almost single-handedly saved democracy, and fought for the common good, keeping hope alive through 4 years of active destruction and malice.

[liberalla]

72. Excellent gif!

I believe this is the "with trump, all roads lead to putin" moment...

[usonian]

79. I grabbed it off the internet. Can't take credit. Someone did a GREAT job with the pic!

Now that you mention it, I think that's what she told him.

I can't get over the look on General Milley. I can read his mind:

"Geez, she's right. How am I going to stop this pile of puke from sabotaging the country and turning it into another Russian satellite republic?"

[Hekate]

58. With profound gratitude

[NH Ethylene]

60. Thank you, Nancy Pelosi.

You are amazing!

[KPN]

61. I loved Tip, especially being a 16th generation Massachusetts native

but I’d agree. Nancy was the best in my lifetime as well. She got shit done, and didn’t take shit from anyone, gracefully and with great effect, especially the orange juvenile. I didn’t always agree with the decisions she made or paths she took, but that’s true for any of them. As far as effect and results, she was the best for sure.

[ZonkerHarris]

75. I love Tip but he compromised with Reagan too much. Gave him everything he wanted.

[Fla Dem]

62. As I said in another thread honoring Speaker Pelosi.....

She will be missed in her leadership role.

But there will be a well-worn path to her new office from those seeking advice, encouragement and a chuckle.

Godspeed Madame Speaker.

[sarge43]

63. Thank you, ma'am

You have always been true to your oath of office.

[Talitha]

67. Thank You Madame Speaker!!!

[niyad]

68. No offense to Tip, but he was essentially out of office before most of the

craziness really started, and he presided over what was essentially an old boys club (there were 23-25 female Representatives per session while he was Speaker).

[niyad]

69. Thank you, Madam Speaker. There are no words adequate to express our

gratitude abd appreciation.

[JPPaverage]

70. Thank you Madame Speaker

Glad she's at least going to serve out her term.

[calimary]

71. I'd agree with that. Wholeheartedly!

GREATEST and Most Effective Speaker ever! At least in my lifetime.

Thank You, Madam Speaker!!!!! You leave some mighty big shoes to fill, either flats or heels.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

73. She held us together through a storm of MAGAts.

[Wiscodoug]

74. Fantastic.

Cheers to Speaker Pelosi on a brilliant career. You have set a great example for all young women in the world as well as myself, a man from Milwaukee WI.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

76. With all due respect

And a whole lot is due.

[summer_in_TX]

90. Madame Speaker, thank you!

You faced so many tests and soared. I admire so much that you refused to hate your adversaries, especially Donald J Trump, who regularly stirred up hatred toward you. Instead you prayed for him and the others.

So many fine examples for those who follow in your footsteps. You are the G.O.A.T. Speaker of the House.

Thank you for your devoted service to the American people, and for standing up to the Bully in Chief while he was in office with such strength and restraint. You did us proud!

[Tumbulu]

91. 👏👏💙👏👏💙👏👏💙👏👏💙👏👏

[NYC Democrat]

92. Nancy is an almost once in a century political talent.

You gave her ANY Majority. She'd manage to get the votes.

[GoldandSilver]

93. Thank you Madam Speaker

How proud I am to have lived during your time as Speaker of the House. History and greatness, strength and grace, wisdom and courage. A job well done.

Damn Nancy, we’ll miss you forever.

[mahina]

94. All day every day. As Karen Bass just said,

During the Trump reign of terror she kept us from going off a cliff.

Her dignity, her belief in our country, her incredible devotion and brilliance… She is a master and I hope people were learning. I have no idea how she managed to get it all done. My heart hurts. Thanks Nancy always.

[djacq]

95. Thank You Madame Speaker.

Thank you for standing up for me, my family, and for all our families.

[Greybnk48]

96. I love you Nancy. YOU. ARE. A. GLADIATOR!

I felt secure and empowered with you at the helm, no matter what happened. Thank you for everything so far, and everything in the future!

Love to your husband, Paul. He must be bursting with pride over you.

[Jay25]

97. Thank you for staying strong and classy.

[yellowdogintexas]

98. Sweet story about her relationship to another Speaker:

Ran into Speaker Wright at church the Sunday after her first election as Speaker. I told him how excited I was about Madame Speake. He just grinned and said "I am so proud of her; I remember when she was just a little girl and watching her has been a delight"

He was like a very proud father! (ps he was one of the sweetest men I have ever known.)

[Erda]

102. What an honor it is to have had her as Speaker

She is an elegant, compassionate, strong and intelligent patriot.

Thank you, Madam Speaker!

[srose58089]

103. Madam Speaker saved our country

Intelligent, fearless, gracious, amazing, selfless, caring, honest, shrewd in a good way, thoughtful, friendly, courteous, fun and funny, inspiring, witty, and of course Super-cali-fragil-istic-expi-ali-docious
