[George II]

(August 22–28, 2021)

Speaker Pelosi, Just now.

On Tuesday, Madam Speaker welcomed Members of the Texas State Delegation to the United States Capitol. That afternoon, Madam Speaker joined Congresswoman Terri Sewell and House Democrats for a press conference following passage of H.R. 4, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021 which restores the full strength of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

On Wednesday, Madam Speaker held her weekly press conference in the U.S. Capitol and soon after held a press event following a conversation with co-chairs of the Poor People’s Campaign, Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, and other religious leaders on key issues For The People, such as voting rights, the minimum wage and infrastructure. Thursday, Madam Speaker joined Mayor London Breed and other San Francisco leaders in front of City Hall to celebrate Women’s Equality Day.

1. Raise your hand if you think Kevin could handle this job??

Anybody?



(Crickets)



I didn't think so.

2. Sure he could. He'd get a big new office. A raise in pay.

And Trump’s hand up his ass controlling his every word and action.

4. Problem is

both Kevin and Donald are deeply stupid and inept men. Absolutely nothing would get done in the People's House.

But I'm sure he would love the fancy digs and the raise.

5. To them that's not a bug.

It’s a feature.

3. He'd work night and day on the RW agenda with no accountability.
