Easy mistake to make.... If you're a nazi.
Let's make 'em campaign across the whole state and not just in the big cities. Like, you know, where more actual people are instead of fighting for that forgotten vote of dirt and rocks or the occasional tree.
(No. That's not contempt for the people who choose to live apart from cities/towns. It's contempt for the stupid argument.)
So much for the Pompeo “swagger”

I'm not sure how Pelosi is going to fix this insubordination of Republicans that are refusing to wear masks but there should be real consequences to their irresponsible actions.
Tbh she foolishly surrendered the moral high ground by inviting reps in who were COVID positive before their quarantine ended to vote in the speaker elections.
They were up in a balcony and therefore unlikely to infect anyone whilst there but given they had to travel to/from Congress it was grossly irresponsible and blatantly self serving as she was concerned she needed their votes.

You are right. Pelosi doesn't have the moral authority at the moment. Maybe Congress' main physician should be the one to start giving Covid citations and whip everyone, including Nancy, into compliance lol
Well in Luxembourg

I know they all have a job to do, and they may all be very nice people, but Pelosi strikes me as being a bit of a poisonous snake tbh....
Pete it is quite impressive that in this remarkable week in American politics that has included, but not limited to
POTUS and others inciting a mob that wanted to hang his Vice President and trashed a federal building and murdered a police officer
GOP members refusing to wear masks around vulnerable fellow congresspeople whilst sheltering
150 elected officials voting to overturn a democratic election even after the attack
The entire executive branch refusing to make any public statement about the attack or anything about how they will deal with the perpetrators or stop any repeat
that the only politician I have seen you criticize by name is Pelosi!

Well Trump has been a complete arsehole, but surely enough has been said about him. My concern, and you can see this if you look back to my posts from a few years ago, is the animosity that has crept into US politics and is really dividing the nation. Trump will be gone in days, Biden may heal the division but not with Pelosi around. I neither trust nor like the woman, she is as divisive as Trump......
Absolutely not Pete, that is frankly ridiculous
