    Brace? That’s not the verb I would use.

      They mean “brace” as in one of those things you attach to act as a support for structural deficiencies. They need to “brace” Nancy because she’s too old to stay upright on her own.

    “Brace”?? Lmao I can’t wait. They sold us out to Trump only to boost their investment portfolios… Good riddance she’s leaving. She should have left 25 years ago. As should Schumer.

    Just fuck off already. You’ve done enough damage. Staying after you left the house just made things worse. Empower the younger democrats.

    She’ll be replaced with AOC. All of Pelosi’s videos on cspan when she was younger sounded exactly like AOC does now. Since AOC is now fully committed to defend the status quo she will replace Pelosi in that regard

    Thank god. Didn’t fight hard enough to get the asshole in power completely impeached when the time was right to.

    I’m actually ready to see if the democrats have a spine for a new leader. Schumer should follow her lead too. Time for a new direction.

      She already stepped down as leader in the house. That job was taken up by Jeffries. Who has been entirely useless.

    Make no mistake, if she does retire, there will still be a Pelosi on the ballot come 2026. Many of her voters won’t even know she retired.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
