Democrats just can’t quit Nancy Pelosi. While she’s no longer Speaker of the House – the first woman and only third person to lose the majority while Speaker, then gains it back only to lose it again – Nancy just can’t go away, and Democrats won’t let her. For Republicans, she’s the gift that keeps on giving; may she live (and be reelected) forever, she is the gift that keeps on giving.
Nancy will turn 85 years old next month. Most people that age look to spend time with family – children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren – as there are clearly more days behind them than in front of them. Not Nancy. Maybe she will live forever, but that’s unlikely, so the only real thing to assume about this refusal to retire is she does not like her husband and family or they don’t like her. It could be both.
Nancy and her husband have amassed a huge fortune, likely off the information she’s had access to as a leader in Congress. If you had any information not widely available to the public and traded stocks on it, your ass would be tossed in jail. Members of Congress and their spouses are not subjected to such restrictions, and few have benefitted more than the Pelosi family.
Maybe Paul Pelosi is the Warren Buffett Congressional spouse – the most efficient “Hokey Pokey” stock trader, knowing when to put a wad of cash in and take a wad of cash out – but it’s more likely they’ve been gaming the system for years.
Either way, wouldn’t there come a point where you’d like to enjoy the fruits of your labor (or grift, as the case may be)? Not for Nancy; she doesn’t want to go anywhere.
She “stepped down” from her leadership role in the Democratic Caucus, at least publicly, but she never gave up the actual control. As Democrats congratulated themselves for choosing a black man to be their “leader” in the House, that “celebration of diversity” was for show only. Hakeem Jeffries has about as much power as North Korea in satellite photos at night.
Do you really believe an arrogant, rich, and corrupt old white progressive would actually hand power to anyone else, let alone a black man? You haven’t been paying attention.
The leftist corporate media is in on it, too. Who do you see interviewed more frequently, her or Jeffries? Who raises more money?
I get all the emails from every left-wing cause and crackpot, and I can tell you Nancy sends more than Jeffries, easily. Hers are, from a strictly utilitarian perspective, much better than his.
She wrote this week, “We watched Donald Trump PARDON violent Jan. 6th rioters on Day 1 of his presidency. We watched him ATTACK the Affordable Care Act and weaken the health care that 24 MILLION Americans rely on. We watched his MAGA billionaires help him raise $500 MILLION since the election to protect his House Republicans in the midterms. Now, we’re going to make Republicans face the consequences of their dangerous and extremist agenda – when we defeat them in the midterms and RECLAIM our House Majority. That’s why I’m calling on a MASSIVE surge of Democratic support – another 3,312 contributions before midnight – to end the week strong, let us make EARLY investments in must-win BATTLEGROUND districts, and deliver a BLUE WAVE in the midterms to put a check on Trump’s power – as we did in 2018.”
Does that sound like the leader of Democrats or some old lady back-bencher?
Nancy concludes, “I won’t mince words: Trump and MAGA Republicans think they can get away with ANYTHING – because they are counting on the American people not paying attention to the harm they are doing. That’s why Trump PARDONED people who violently rioted in the Capitol, and Republicans are coming after our lifesaving health care programs. I’m fighting with everything I have to defeat them – but I need YOU to fight alongside me.”
She’s asking them to fight not with Democrats but “alongside me.”
There are few people in the country less popular than Nancy Pelosi. Hell, she seems unpopular in her own family. As long as she is the face of the Democratic Party, it is good for Republicans. Considering the fact that her radical district would reelect her ashes, may she serve in Congress forever.
