A good time to learn the ropes of being house speaker isn't when we have a complicit GOP senate being controlled by a racist autocrat. They're already gearing up to paint Dems as obstructionists with the only goal of investigating the POTUS. Someone needs to be able to thread the needle so we don't lose good faith with moderates hoping for some sense of sanity.
If "who's better" isn't a good argument, then it should be pretty easy for someone better to step up. Which hasn't and won't happen, because that person doesn't exist. The woman is a political shark and got Dems to basically lose their house seats in 2010 so we can have the ACA. She's absolutely the best person for the job right now. It's silly to think otherwise.

At least Pelosi hasn’t been implicated in a massive Facebook corporate malfeasance expose.... yet.
There's no easy way to progress lol
Can't half ass this shit. Unless you think Biden really is the solution to all your problems and if that's the case 😂😂😂

By Random Ass Username Go To PostSanity is fucking dead and buried. Gimme some fighters.
We literally just had a wave election, stealing moderates, running on sanity and healthcare. That's pretty much it. I'm not even sure how someone could imply Pelosi isn't a "fighter" either.
Pelosi should step down from leadership whether it’s now or 2020. And honestly it’s better that she do it now. But again, priorities.
Can't wait for McConnel to destroy some new progressive house speaker. Maybe dems can internally fight all the way to 2020.
Schumer needs to get fired off of the strength of him running interference for Facebook (let alone other shit):

Clean house. Fuck all of this.

In at least one instance, the company also relied on Mr. Schumer, the New York senator and Senate Democratic leader. He has long worked to advance Silicon Valley’s interests on issues such as commercial drone regulations and patent reform. During the 2016 election cycle, he raised more money from Facebook employees than any other member of Congress, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Mr. Schumer also has a personal connection to Facebook: His daughter Alison joined the firm out of college and is now a marketing manager in Facebook’s New York office, according to her LinkedIn profile.
In July, as Facebook’s troubles threatened to cost the company billions of dollars in market value, Mr. Schumer confronted Mr. Warner, by then Facebook’s most insistent inquisitor in Congress.
Back off, he told Mr. Warner, according to a Facebook employee briefed on Mr. Schumer’s intervention. Mr. Warner should be looking for ways to work with Facebook, Mr. Schumer advised, not harm it. Facebook lobbyists were kept abreast of Mr. Schumer’s efforts to protect the company, according to the employee.
A Senate aide briefed on the exchange said that Mr. Schumer had not wanted Mr. Warner to lose sight of the need for Facebook to tackle problems with right-wing disinformation and election interference, as well as consumer privacy and other issues.
Clean house. Fuck all of this.

Are the terms too soft or too hard? I honestly can't keep track anymore.
The whole thing is such a shit show.

Toos soft for some and too hard for others. And for others it is not consistent with the Conservative election manifesto so cannot be supported on that basis (which is a hilarious reason because they always instantly ignore their manifesto a day after the election).
By Flutter Go To PostAre the terms too soft or too hard? I honestly can't keep track anymore.Apparently northern Ireland would remain in the union whilst the rest of the UK would be out, which must be fucking Scotland right off considering the independence vote and the lies peddled to keep them shackled to us.
The whole thing is such a shit show.
This deal is DOA.
Basically it'll be no deal or second referundum at this rate.
Worth noting that May explicitly said that No Brexit was an option last night.

It's gonna be no Brexit innit.
No one wants to be at the center of the worst UK decision in decades. They just need someone to throw under the bus.

Unfortunately they threw foreigners under the bus at the very beginning and have been scrambling for patsies ever since.
Esther resigned too. Apparently she draws the line at this deal and not how she destroyed lives with universal credit.

Also, since brexit is a topic I got an excuse to post this and make ya'll suffer
Wouldn't be surprised if we see new parties emerging from this chaos. Labour are divided between the lefty Corbynites and the centerist Blairites, Tories are divided between the centrists and the fascists, the Lib Dems are little more than a rumour at this point. Brexit has really highlighted how little these parties actually represent the views of the electorate.
just saying i won't vote for a labour party with that cunt corbyn at it's head. Spineless fucking lying mong that he is.

remember when he had that photo taken on the train where he was sitting on the floor because the seats were all taken?
And then it turned out the train was empty. Such a man of the people (as long as they have as little as each other)

It did turn out that train was full though. Richard Branson just showed some footage of Corbyn walking past some reserved seats. I have been on a Virgin train from Carlisle to Euston where people have spent the whole journey sat on the floor.
