Remember when Democrats lost the House and Nancy Pelosi announced she was no longer going to lead the Democrats, handing over leadership to New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries? You have to remember it, Jeffries is black and that fact had Democrats and the media pleasuring themselves over how they’d selected a “historic” first. Well, it’s been a while now and you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t think old Nancy is still in charge of Democrats in the House. That begs the question, why is she still there?
The deal was Nancy Pelosi would stick around for a little while to help the new leadership team understand how the House works – something wildly condescending, if you think about it – then she would resign. Parties can only have one leader at a time, right?
Well, it’s been seven months and Nancy shows not only no sign of resigning, she shows no sign if giving up control of the Democrat caucus in the House.
I sign up for all the left-wing fundraising emails I can get, mostly because they’re absolutely hilarious. I challenge any sane person to read them without laughing hysterically while feeling a deep sense of despair that stupidity of this nature works on anyone in this country.
Putting that aside, once you’re on enough email lists you start getting emails from organizations you didn’t sign up for because politicians sell your contact information to each other, thinking if someone was a sucker for one candidate or cause they could easily become one for another. There’s a lot of money in it.
I suddenly started getting emails from Nancy Pelosi’s campaign. I never signed up for, why would I when she was stepping down? Not so fast.
Pelosi’s campaign is emailing more often than Hakeem Jeffries does, probably under her orders, so she can keep her hands on the cash and control where it goes. The person who controls the money is the one in charge, no matter what they signs on the doors say.
But it’s not just campaign cash, it’s the media too.
Jeffries gets his share of media hits on MSNBC and CNN, seemingly afraid to go anywhere else. But he is overshadowed in every way by Nancy Pelosi. She’s more important than he is, easily.
When Hakeem appears on TV he is “Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries,” when Nancy shows up she’s “Former Speaker of the House” or “Speaker Emeritus.” Which sounds more impressive to an audience?
Her existence blocks out his, easily.
Personally, I hate how former office holders maintain their titles. Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the Constitution states, “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
I suppose an argument could be made that the second part means it only applies to foreign-granted titles, but the first part clearly states the US can’t grant any at all. We can argue all day over whether or not former position titles are akin to nobility, but they’ve been every bit as monetized as any royal title has.
Nevertheless, Nancy Pelosi remains in Congress and leader of the Democrats. Not de facto leader, but leader in everything but name.
Does Pelosi not trust a black man to do as good of a job as she thinks she did? If these were Republicans we are talking about the question would’ve at least been asked by now, multiple times per day by the very same Morning Joe crew who bows in affection with every Pelosi appearance.
But they don’t seem to even care when it’s one of their own; their dear leader. They fawn over her still, after having patted themselves on their backs for being a part of anointing a black man Democrat leader in the House.
Where is the outrage from the left-wing activists? Where is the anger directed toward the rich, old white lady who would only give up the ceremonial title of leadership but not the actual position and power?
Minnesota Attorney General and detestable racist Keith Ellison recently compared Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to a house slave from the movie “Django Unchained” because Ellison views thinking for himself as some sort of sell-out. I wonder what Ellison thinks of being a public face of something while someone else is really running the show? Since they’re Democrats, Ellison probably doesn’t think anything of it. In the hive mind, everyone knows their place.

Why pay for assisted living?
She doesn’t even need Life-Alert™, she’s never alone. Food’s good, bathrooms clean.
She’ll hang around like Franco did, a breathing museum diorama, titled “living history”.
Otherwise she stays home with Paul and his weird pals.
Jeff Bargholz says
I think she landed a role in “The Walking Dead.” She could use some brains, that’s for sure.

Well, one more face lift and she’ll have a goatee.

“”House of Representatives”” our “””House of Commons””
Someone please tell me how this rich old crook can represent the Common American? The people of “We the People”
California has got a bunch of stupid A-hole voters.
She in no way can or would represent the common man.
BettyO says
Sorry, you’re a bit mixed up. California has got a bunch of crafty A-hole vote counters.

Nancy’s prop Hakeem is horrible at his job.
All the streets are brown, and the sky is grey
Be careful where you walk, especially by the bay
No one’s safe and warm, living in LA
California Dreamin’, has met its dying day

Jose Cabrera-Baez says
It is called “SELF GRANDIOSE AND ENTITLEMENT “ She thinks no one else can do her job and just like the the Ten Commandments movie actor Charlton Heston stated in that NRA commercial “from my dead cold hands” regarding weapons confiscation; Only death can get this woman away from power.
Jeff Bargholz says
I think she’s already a member of the walking dead. She sure looks and acts like a zombie to me. 😛

Piglosi hasn’t been able to speak coherently in years. So you have demented JoeBama, demented Nan, old Diane Flyinstain sitting in a darken room and the rest of the tribe that make up the Demorat cartel working on equity and victimization. Somewhere close to 40% of their fellow brain dead Americans worship these folks. How can a country go wrong.

BETTER QUESTION IS , why is no one taking down traitorous Reps that won’t take out a single person

PROVES WHAT I POSTED ABOVE
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
So, let’s get this straight? The Democrat SLIMEBALLS in Congress, then headed by Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Impeached me over a PERFECT PHONE CALL (I Won!), and are now Indicting me over their continuing, illegal, and long running Witch Hunt, but Crooked Joe Biden, who has stolen and extorted millions of dollars, won’t be Impeached or Indicted by a very kind, friendly, and politically correct Republican Congress. Gee, that seems very fair to me? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

Pelosi is hanging around like Obama. They leave office but always keep the door open and stay in Washington, so they are close when our government falls, and waiting for their Most sought after One World Bloated Bureaucracy.
Andrew Blackadder says
Nasty Peelosi is the original Witched Witch of The West who said recently that Biden was doing a ”spectacular” job as President… Yeah a spectacular screw up.
Strange how that Cocaine Midnight rumble with her Husband and his Homosexual Male Prostitute has just disappeared from the MSM News feed.
If ANY Republican had acted in any way similar to Nasty P it would be headlines on a Loop with CNN but as MSNBC and the other Far Left ”news” channels they skip anything negative about the DemocRATS and find something, anything, even its decades old, about Trump while screaming racist racist but they constanly mention the skin tone of Trump which they seem to dismiss as actual racism.
Planet Earth has shifted slightly off its Axis, there can be no other explanation for the insanity of today.

Nasty Pelosi could make the Queen of Hearts feel uncomfortable

I lived for a year as a kid in a third-world country that was surrounded by other third-world countries led by military-strongman despots. Multiple times my mom said, “No matter how old these dictators get, they just can’t let go of their power.”
