Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. 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.

MODERATORS
Pelosi is a armchair quarterback. She can be all tough because she didn't have a part to play this time.
If she had been involved she'd have rolled over like a thing that rolls over a lot.
A gas station hot dog?
Ooo, that's gooood
If Pelosi is against you capitulating to Republicans, you know you fucked up.
PELOSI‽‽ PELOSI GREW A SPINE‽‽
WHAT TIMELINE ARE WE IN
Pelosi didn’t grow a spine. She probably sees some way of increasing her net worth.
Or she sees it as bad politics, because it is bad politics.
Isn’t she retiring soon?
No before she goes to the Republican side because schumer made a bad decision. Wouldn't that be hilarious?
Thanks to Chuck, Amy isn't even the worst Schumer any more.
I laughed and cried when I read this.
Pelosi: "You idiot!"
Feel it is more like "You eeeeeeediot" a la Ren and Stimpy.
Having grown up with that show, pretty sure I was unconsciously channeling that energy. xD
Pelosi is just as ineffectual and needs to go just as bad...
Her coming out against Schumer is just her self preservation instinct.
We can't afford to let geriatric neoliberals lead the only other alternative to fascism. Even if they wanted to fight, they're not capable of it.
So if they really gave a fuck about the country, we wouldn't have to waste this time screaming at them to get out of the fucking way.
I wouldn't call her ineffectual, she still holds massive sway in dc. That being said, she is one of the many reasons the democrats are so ineffectual.
She's great at picking which stock to buy...
She ineffectual at what she's in office to be doing.
I didn't think I'd need to make that distinction though.
Exactly. She's very good at keeping the party ineffective because it benefits the big corporations. Look at how hard she pushed to keep AOC off the oversight committee. I think pelosi knows exactly what she's doing. I'm glad she's coming out against the bill, but she still sucks.
Pelosi hated AOC because AOC primaried one of her lieutenants.
Schumer don't be an impotent bitch
Pelosi is just as spineless. More than likely, the instant backlash was probably surprising to these folks since they're so amazingly out of touch. If it starts to look like trouble for reelection/pocketbook, then they pretend to be activists.
Haven't clicked on the article, not sure yet. Based on these comments though, if i had literally no other information, either Pelosi or Schumer is super old and bad and needs to retire.
I do have some information though. Both of them need to go away. They still have Bernie Sanders so we should avoid the Jan 6 strategy.
That's because Chuck Schumer is a punk ass bitch.
