The Power of Nancy Pelosi (Hey, at least give them an 'e' for effort)
Rolling Stone ^ | 6/24/18 | Tim Dickinson

Posted on 06/25/2018 6:49:46 PM PDT by Libloather

Nancy Pelosi sits in a black-leather booth at Americana, a burger bistro in downtown Des Moines, radiating optimism. "We're in a very good place," she says of Democrats' odds in November. Special-election results suggest more than 100 seats in the House of Representatives are in play, and Democrats need less than two dozen to regain a majority. At the prospect of a victory that could check Trump's power – and, Pelosi expects, reinstall her as House speaker – she bangs a piece of cutlery, hard, on the table. "The gavel," she says. "The gavel makes all the difference in the world." She breaks from her reverie to note the absurdity of the scene – "I didn't mean to pick up the knife," she apologizes, laughing – then adds, "Awesome power. The speaker has awesome power."

The Power of Nancy Pelosi

Power on loan from her master, Lucifer.

“She breaks from her reverie to note the absurdity of the scene – “I didn’t mean to pick up the knife,” she apologizes,”

She’s lost it.

Pelosi says the gavel makes all the difference in the world. As we’ve seen since the GOP took control of the House in 2011, the gavel only makes a difference if it is wielded by someone who wants to make a difference. Hence the miserable performance by John Boehlert and Paul Ryan.

If Pelosi or any other Democrat is selected by the House to be Speaker in January 2019 we can be certain the gavel will be used forcefully and with effect.

“I didn’t mean to pick up the knife...

Sounds like an excuse Nasty would use if she “accidentally” stabs a Republican Speaker. Or, any Republican.

The Democrats would be fools to make her speaker again.

Her leadership cost them the majority before. Why give her another shot?

Just heard an idiot Democrat on Laura blaming POTUS Trump.

He used the example of that old guy who punched a protestor at a Trump Rally in 2016 and then he said the guy that ran over that woman on Charlottesville was Trump’s fault.

Of course, the guy in Charlottesville was a neurotic who panicked and hit the gas. He wasn’t aiming for anyone, but why let facts get in the way.

BYW - Notice how we haven’t heard a peep about that guy?

Unfortunately, Laura and the rest of the Panel didn’t correct the lying Democrat. My yelling at the TV didn’t help either.

If the unhinged put the unhinged back in power, the unhinged voters will deserve what they get. The rest of us, and the nation, will suffer just the same.

Even with mine joining in. Maybe they were just pretending not to hear.

She’s delusional if she thinks Democrats are in a good place.
They hold fewer offices nationwide than ever.
