Unless you are really working for the DNC....

Nancy Pelosi is the poster child for term limits and mental competency testing to run for ANY election.

I’d give her a gavel but she wouldn’t be able to sit down.

That pic of her holding that big gavel is 6 yrs old. Soon she’ll do well just lifting a fork.
