Hahahaha this coming from the political dynasty loser that can’t get people to clap for him and was bullied out of the loving republican primary by a fat orange nitwit that couldn’t find NY state on a labeled map.

Shut the gently caress up, Jeb, and go hock some more guacabowles.

Honest question, if you don’t care about all the poo poo the right says why do you hate her so much?
poo poo you're right, the only valid criticisms of Pelosi - the only criticisms of her at all, in fact - come from the right :rolleyes:

Thanks for sharing that.

I really think CNN should win but I have no confidence in any Trump appointed judge

The questions from the judge are annoying, but not too concerning, because he's talking to CNN's lawyer and even if you agree with CNN as a judge you'd want to explore all the possible weaknesses in their argument. It'll be more interesting when he's talking to the white house lawyer.

Intellectually I realize you are correct

emotionally . . . he's a trump appointed judge. Just accepting the appointment, by itself, almost seems like an ethics violation.

I’m serious though. If you’re a hard lefty that fine. Just enlighten me why that puts her in the poo poo category. Otherwise you just sound exactly like the far right with zero context.

Since they don't need the house for judges, the turtle will just shrug and go "ok whatever. I guess we'll vote on judges in January."

I know it’s the conservative wing that’s trying to out her that’s my goddamned point that somehow went over your head. That if the conservative wing can get Republicans on board they could theoretically win enough votes against a divided left who can’t decide on a candidate but won’t vote for Pelosi.

It's the left who are actually supporting Pelosi, and the dumbshit right wing Democrats who should never have been allowed in the party to begin with who are causing the problems. Exactly like people like myself have been trying to explain over and over again. This is why you don't let wishy-washy self-interested sociopaths into positions of leadership in your party; they will betray you at critical moments every single time it serves their personal interests.

You actually do need some level of purity tests in order to have a coherent party with a coherent ideology, and the present failure of the democratic party is a clear demonstration of why. Despite the clear message the American people just sent in the midterms- the Democratic house is trying to run right.

The modern democratic party has no ideology beyond saying whatever they think we'll get more Democrats elected. Like... That's literally it. There is no coherent ideology, no coherent message, not even the faintest whiff of a vision of the future to unite people around. Democrats by and large (there are exceptions of course but they are not the ones running the party) will say and do whatever they think we'll get Democrats elected and as a result they have a whole bunch of empty suits whose primary interest is in security capital from their rich donors in order to get reelected.

This is what decades of reliance on machine politics and centrism has wrought; a disjointed party completely incapable of answering to the will of the people or opposing the rise of fascism.
