Pelosi to Run Again
« on: January 26, 2022, 10:15:28 AM »
Come on, man, you're 81. Give it up already!

This goes for anyone on either side of the aisle. It's a classic case of self-importance and not being able to let go. I saw a soundbite where she talked about having to do it in order to save democracy. It seems that a lot of dems are unhappy with her choice as well.

I've heard people are printing "RUN NANCY RUN" bumper stickers.

And people are putting them on their FRONT bumpers.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

I think I first heard that joke told about a politician in the 80's.   =D

I just saw part of her announcement, and I'm now 98.4% certain she ate Hansel & Gretel.

Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery,' Pelosi wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, Friday.

'Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for reelection — and respectfully ask for your vote.'

Jesse Jackson. In the north the sticker was on the back. In the south, not so much. I grew up in a back bumper family. Of course I was also present for the 08 primary discussion about not supporting Hillary because she was “too conservative.”

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

. . . I was also present for the 08 primary discussion about not supporting Hillary because she was “too conservative.”
That's more absurd than the story about Hillary being involved in kidnapping children for use as human sacrifices in satanic rituals that included cannibalism.

Some on the left referred to Hillary as too conservative in 2016 as well

Of course she’s going to run again. She’s not about to give up her power, bribes, and choice investing powers.

Are we sure "Dem" isn't short for "Demented?"

Sorta looks that way, don't it?

Why can't it mean both at the same time?

Well, the distinction is getting blurredier and blurredier, which is what brought up the question.  Touching base with actual reality is not a component of their "platform" or choice of candidates.  Didn't Soros' son say he was going to put over a billion dollars into American elections recently?  Or maybe that was just anti-gun promotion?  Or was all that just internet buzz?

If so, I'm sure that would be great news for the advertising income of the media, wouldn't it?  No wonder the media is so comfortable with leftist propaganda.
