Fuck this horrible bitch. She fucking enriches herself via a marriage of her position and decision making with the stock market.
Fucking disgusting, no fucking politician that votes on policy should be allowed to trade stocks.
GET THE FUCK OUT AND STAY OUT YOU GERIATRIC FUCKING CORRUPT TRAITOR
Settle down, trumper.
Nothing to do with Trumper, he's right. Just like Trump should go to prison along with anyone who helped him on Jan 6
You agree with this crap that person posted? --> (GET THE FUCK OUT AND STAY OUT YOU GERIATRIC FUCKING CORRUPT TRAITOR) NO. He/she/they are NOT right.
You can dislike Nancy Pelosi and not be a Trumper. They are not mutually exclusive.
Yeah. I hate Nancy Pelosi. I hate Trump MORE, but I hate him more than just about anyone. Pelosi is still a garbage person.
Okay, but "traitor"? Let's not devalue the word by throwing it around at everyone who engages in systemic graft.
Sure. But the statement made by the user I was responding to was pure trumper BS.
I don't see how what they said has anything to do with supporting Trump, Pelosi is corrupt and too old. You should focus your anger on actual Trump cultists.
They accused her of being a traitor. Read the all caps portion of the trumpist rant.
She might not necessarily be a traitor in the traditional sense of the word, but she did betray the American people when she began to enrich herself using her position and choose blustering instead of doing her job.
If you think this hasn't been the norm among politicians for two hundred years, I have a skyscraper in Iowa to sell you.
Pelosi is only a favorite target for the rightful ire about it because of her prominence and her gender. That justified anger could and should be directed at any of a dozen others who are even worse.
Yeah your whataboutism is pointless. The crypt keeper makes plenty enough money to pay for real white knights if she wanted, no need for an online defense force.
Lol, I'm not about to defend Pelosi, just wanted to point out the agenda inherent in those who jump to villifying her before others who are worse.
Yeah I'm aware of what you were doing. Its called whataboutism. It's a stupid argument. Try coming up with a better one rather than defending your poorly thought out one.
Bullshit.
Okay, well hopefully you're paid well for spit shining those boots.
It's up to her and her constituents. But she IS NOT a traitor.
This is Merriam-Webster's first definition of Traitor. Under this definition, she fits.
I'm a lifelong dem and I generally agree with the sentiment, minis the name-calling on his part. Her shady stock market trades are problematic at best, and we need young blood in the game. I'm hoping for a strong contender against her and I think many folks feel the same.
You're what's wrong with politics these days. You don't have to be fully locked in to one side you know?
f*ck trumpism
