trump continues to disassemble the nato alliance and the European union, wreak havoc on human rights in latin America, destroy the American economy, assist in reassembling the ussr (or the romanov empire if you prefer) etc etc etc all the time convincing his cult that these are good things and positioning himself for an electoral college landslide despite impeachment...…..

if ms Pelosi (ir our eventual candidate) can succeed in shutting trump's mouth in 2020 i will heartily endorse her for person of the year. until then darkness still covers the earth.

Dec 2019
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), who challenged Pelosi for party leader after Democrats failed to win back the House in 2016, now sings her praises.

“Nancy Pelosi is the absolute best politician that the Democratic Party has seen since Lyndon Johnson, in my opinion,” Ryan said.

When asked if he could have done what Pelosi did if he were Democratic leader, Ryan added: “Probably not. … She’s literally in a class by herself.”https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/18/trump-impeachment-pelosi-086685

I agree 100% If we didn't have her with her ability to fight, who would we have? She is a pro and with what we are dealing with, we need a pro.

I am prepared to eat *ALL* of the crow, without benefit of hot sauce. She has navigated this issue brilliantly, and I can't think of anyone else who could have done as well, let alone better.

Mea culpa.

Speaker Nancy, assuming humanity has enough time left to write about history before we destroy our planet, you are one of the "great people." And if we can survive as a species, your courage, dedication, and moral leadership will be recognized and forever remembered. You'll be a heroine in history books of the future.

You've stood up to pure evil and you've done everything in your power to stop it.

You can't save the world, but you've sure as hell done everything possible to do so.

...exiting Trump's ambush-meeting with a power stride; or

Mme Speaker standing in the blue dress, the lone woman in a roomful of powerful but apparently spineless men, pointing her finger at Trump and saying, "With you, all roads lead to Putin."
