On Election Eve, Nancy Pelosi Promises to Be Speaker: ‘I’m Really Good At What I Do’

2:23 House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told HuffPost in an interview published Monday that she is confident Democrats will win the House of Representatives, and that she is the best candidate to be Speaker of the House. The interview notes that Pelosi “is mapping out her speakership before waiting to see if Democrats win control of the House”:

Pelosi is confident about two things ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections: that Democrats will win back the House, and that she’s the best one to lead them forward as speaker once again.

“I know the territory,” Pelosi said in a recent interview, between bites of a chocolate gelato waffle cone in a suburban Maryland cafe. “And I’m really good at what I do.”

Pelosi told HuffPost that she does not want to impeach President Donald Trump — though other leaders, including her deputy, suggested that Trump should be impeached for “treason” after he held a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this year.

In a separate interview with the Washington Post, Pelosi struck a similar note about her ambition to return as Speaker: ““Nobody is indispensable. But I do think that I am best qualified to take us into the future, protect the Affordable Care Act, to do our infrastructure bill and the rest. Stepping down this path, I know the ropes.”

Pelosi has already been Speaker of the House once before, when Democrats held the House from 2007 to 2011. She infamously pushed Obamacare through the House before members had read the massive bill — a decision that cost Democrats control of the chamber.

But Pelosi rule

Forget it, Jake. It's Nasty Piglosi

[Nifster]

Let’s remember she said she would be speaker again in 2012 and 2014 and 2016......she’s on a roll. Hope she keeps it up

[Boardwalk]

What did Maxine Waters say?

[goldstategop]

Two years of gridlock.

Nothing will get done but the alternative could be worse.

[beethovenfan]

No, Nasty. You suck.

[SaveFerris]

[ “And I’m really good at what I do.” ]

Screwing up America?

[goldstategop]

I agree.

But unless there’s an upset, we’’ll get the divided Congress we had from 2010 to 2016.

[faithhopecharity]

Imho, sending pelousy to Guantanamo would be a very lenient sentence for the Damage she’s done to us already. No more ?

[W.]

Extra hog fart...

[goldstategop]

Like I said, Democrats will impeach Trump and their agenda will die in the Senate.

Expect Trump to use his veto often, which will be sustained.

[TChad]

...I’m really good at what I do.

It's true. She can identify any street in San Francisco, just by smelling its sidewalk!

[Califreak]

Barf

[FlingWingFlyer]

We know bitch, we know. How else would you have been able to build such a huge nest egg?

[Lurkinanloomin]

She did get legislation passed, more than can be said for Paul Ryan.

A huge champion of the poor, Nancy Pelosi’s $22 million Napa home boasts tennis courts and a Bocci ball court. She is lucky enough to also have a helicopter landing pad.

Being poor is GREAT! Just not for Nancy...

A political creation of unions, she employs ZERO union people at her vineyard and at her luxurious bed & breakfast, Auberge de Soleil, where a buger and fries will set you back $22 before tax and tip. The overnight to stay here runs $1,325. Oh, and that's for the BARGAIN room, by the way.

The same is true of the 16-branch, upscale restaurant chain Pelosi partners in, Piatti, located in 5 states in the USA, shown below. Of the nearly 1,000 employees working there, ZERO are members of a union.

Employing union people is FANTASTIC..!!! Just not for Nancy.

Must be nice, huh?

Let’s take a look at a different branch of Piatti, the photo below shows their branch nestled in La Jolla:

Pelosi also played a critical role in exempting American Samoa, where 80% of the island works for Starkist Tuna, from a mandatory minimum wage hike, from $5.35 per hour. Advocate For The Poor Pelosi is a major Starkist shareholder, you see.

Bad working conditions, and $5.35 each hour. Sorry Charlie..!

In a single year the bar tab for Pelosi’s huge government plane exceeded $100,000 —one time she diverted it over 1,000 miles in order to pick up a single order of chocolate-dipped strawberries.

In Feb 2018 Chris Matthews claimed the GOP's strategy to maintain its congressional majority was to relentlessly attack Nancy "because she is an ethnic sort of person".

Behold the highly ethnic, hard-scrabble Pelosi clan below, decked out in gangsta finery in South Central Napa Valley:

I was going to post that photo of Nancy Pelosi with a whip, but I don’t seem to be able to get into Strange Cosmos.

[goldstategop]

Fortunately, the Turtle will block it.

Back then she had Dingy Harry.

[Mr. Jeeves]

There’s no guarantee the Democrats would even pick her as Speaker with a hot property like Ocasio-Cortez waiting in the wings. :)

"Screwing up America?"

Spending other people’s money, actually state revenues stolen by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.

• "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• "The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me

• "Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
