The thing about Pelosi is... who would replace her? Being speaker requires the ability to twist and cajole people into voting for things they don't necessarily want to vote for, utilizing both personal and professional relationships. The reason why Pelosi is so effective is because she's been there for so long, and has the relationships, experience, and force of personality to control her caucus with an iron fist.

And the thing is, she'll defer to the President. If the Dems win the House and Presidency in 2020, it doesn't matter what she personally believes-whatever policies the president decides to implement, she'll whip her caucus to vote for it. She may not personally agree with or have proposed policies like Medicare for All or abolishing ICE, but she's not going to refuse to allow those bills to see the floor. They'll get voted on, and she'll support them and stump for them, because that's her job as Speaker of the House-and it's a job she was drat good at.

I mean, maybe. Whole bunch of Democrats voted for the recent bank deregulation bill, which means either she wasn't able to whip them to oppose it or she thinks it's a great idea if she's got such iron control of the Dems in the house. The question is gonna be whether when the Dems get back in power she'll be behind the president (whoever that is) or if her ability to whip the party will mysteriously degrade when it comes to pro-corporate poo poo.

On a separate note, I have no idea why people are paying attention to what Omorosa says. Like, we all know she lies for personal advantage and is totally fine working for authoritarian racists so long as it makes her a buck, right? I mean sure, Trump probably has used all kinds of racial slurs. Omorosa saying it happened is worthless as evidence if that fact, right?

I never watched the apprentice, just know who she is from general pop culture references and the bit where she got kicked out of the white house, but everyone knows you can't trust a thing she says without a corroborating witness, right? Is that somehow the wrong impression?

Mueller had recently requested that part of the trial remain closed and in secret so as to not publicly disclose evidence that he'd rather not make public at this time (related to a future indictment possibly).

There's absolutely no chance in hell of getting boots on the ground on another planet within the potential timeframe of this administration, and that's before considering their complete and utter incompetence.

I dunno about Shaq but that was Kyrie Irving although he keeps doubling down and then walking it back so no one really knows (he's absolutely being serious)
