Good grief, she must really get under your skin.

She is 82 (IIRC) and her husband has just been attacked in their home by a MAGA supporter.

Happy retirement Nancy

she is stepping down from leadership position...she will keep her seat at least through the next term...

She's been Speaker twice and been in leadership in Congress for decades. She's in her 80s. And she's been through January 6th and her husband being assaulted recently. The poor woman deserves a break. Good for her.

I think she's been in leadership for 20 years and did an excellent job. Given her loss of power in the next Congress, she picked a good time to hand the baton off to a younger group.

I only wish that Diane Feinstein and Trump would leave the scene.

Care to explain what in my posts in this thread that lead you to the conclusion that she gets under my skin?

Subduction Zone · Nov 17, 2022

Are you kidding me? You mean that she did not declare "Fake news"? She didn't start countless pointless lawsuits? She is not still declaring that she won?

Wow, what a loser

I apologise, I didn't realise you admired her and will be sorry to see her go.

Did it even occur to you that I could not care either way? Just because some people are captive to ideological irrationality doesn't mean that I am. But it was decent of you to apologize.

Do you mean the unemployed Canadian illegal alien nudist mentally ill drug addict practically homeless living in a bus outside his activist ex’s home in Berkeley, California? The guy who had an LGBT pride flag adorned with a marijuana symbol hanging right outside, a black lives matter sign on the ex’s window, and the phrase “You are beautiful” adorned across the front of the vehicle? The guy who mysteriously somehow made it through any security the Pelosis have, and easily gained access into the home of the person who was 3rd in line to the Presidency, whose net worth is over $130,000,000…?

“MAGA right wing extremist”, they say.

Not for an instant.

"From August until the day before the attack on Mr. Pelosi, the blog featured a flurry of antisemitic sentiments and concerns about pedophilia, anti-white racism and “elite” control of the internet.

In one post, written on Oct. 19, the author urged former President Donald J. Trump to choose Tulsi Gabbard, the former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, as his vice-presidential candidate in 2024.

Several other posts were consumed with culture war issues and seemed to closely track with current events. One post was about the nearly $1 billion defamation judgment entered this month against Alex Jones, the founder of the conspiracy theory-driven media outlet Infowars."

Who Is the Man Accused of Attacking Nancy Pelosi’s Husband?

So...maybe?

The article suggested that Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York may replace her as the Democratic leader in the House.

Meanwhile, Democrats are looking for younger figures to usher in a new generation of leadership. Hoyer in the letter threw his support behind 52-year-old Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York to become the Democratic leader in the House. “He is a skilled and capable leader who will help us win back the Majority in 2024 as we strive to continue delivering on our promises to the American people,” Hoyer wrote.

Hakeem Jeffries - Wikipedia

Hakeem Sekou Jeffries (/ˌhɑːˈkiːm/; born August 4, 1970)[1] is an American politician and attorney who has served as the U.S. representative for New York's 8th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, he represents a district that covers parts of eastern Brooklyn and southwestern Queens in New York City. A corporate lawyer by occupation, he worked for Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, then Viacom and CBS, before running for and serving in the New York State Assembly from 2007 to 2012, representing the 57th Assembly district.[2][3] Jeffries has chaired the House Democratic Caucus since 2019.[4][5]

I will never understand this:
Dems advocate for LGBT rights, saying that being a member of the LGBT is cool, is great.
But whenever a dem person is rumored to be LGBT, they immediately cover up the thing, as if it were something shameful.
If someone is bisexual...what's wrong with that?
Isn't it a bit incoherent? Contradictory?

Read some proper news sources rather than Truth Social and its off-spring

And there are few who had her political savvy.
