More examples of why Pelosi needs to go

Speaker Pelosi went on the talk shows recently and showed exactly why she is useless.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) quipped Wednesday that it would be nice if Mitt Romney was president.
"Wouldn’t be nice if he were president of the United States?” she asked during a Los Angeles Times event, according to the Boston Globe.
What is it with Democrats and mainstream Republicans?
However, this wasn't the only TV appearance for Pelosi.
She made another one that was even more enlightening.
Pelosi said in an interview on ABC's "The View" that she was ready to leave had Hillary Clinton become president, putting a woman at the top. But Clinton lost, and so she must remain, Pelosi said, as she recounted a White House dinner last month where she was the only woman at the table....
"I was ready to go if Hillary won, have a woman at the top of the table, protecting the Affordable Care Act, which is to me similar to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid," Pelosi said.
It's interesting that she thinks a neoliberal woman would be significantly better than a neoliberal man.
However, what caught my attention was later in the interview.
Meghan McCain shot right back at Pelosi, responding, “That’s from winning, though. I mean, President Trump is in the White House, so there’s a breakdown someplace.”
“This is our turn,” Pelosi said, before repeating the Democrats’ new slogan, “Better deal, better jobs, better pay, better future for the American people” and asserting that the Democrats’ sole problem is in its messaging.
"This is our turn"???
You mean like it was Hillary's turn last year?!? WTF?
And that isn't the worst part of the interview. Between "this is our turn" and the slogan she spoke the most important part of the interview:
This is the first time since 2006, when we won the Congress. This is the first time that House [Democrats] are communicating with the American people...
Double WTF?!? Where have you been for the past decade?
Comments
Pelosi is not going
anywhere unless she wants to. What makes someone rise to the top of the Democratic leadership is one big thing...the ability to fund raise. The Democratic party elevated fund raising way above winning. And Pelosi is without peer in her ability to fund raise. In the end, it always is about money.

Pelosi might not have a choice.
Money doesn't mean everything. If it did Hillary would be president.
True
In elections, we found out that the biggest spender did not win. But within the structure of the party, it does mean nearly everything. They are f*cking addicted to money.

Exactly. And they really believe that money can buy everything - because enough of it invariably buys them.
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
Saying she is ‘useless’ is not very progressive.
Why, she is quite useless to the oligarchy, nicht wahr? /s

A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.
Health Insurance Act (ACA)comparable to SS, Medicare, Medicaid
Like WTF kinda message is that, oh wait it's for her donors
or else she is one of the clowngress people on Alzheimer's drugs
making that equivalency.
I never knew that the term "Never Again" only pertained to
those born Jewish
"Antisemite used to be someone who didn't like Jews
now it's someone who Jews don't like"
Heard from Margaret Kimberley
This is a good deal for them.
They're well-paid to lose elections, they can always become lobbyists, and the Berniecrats have renewed their collective pretense of standing for something. Sure, the world will go to Hell in a handbasket as things stand. They can always buy luxurious beachfront mansions out around Point Barrow, Alaska to live out their declining days as Global Warming Earth turns into beginning-period Triassic Earth, except with a 2% hotter sun.
Most of the rest of suburban America has become like that character "Jerry Smith" in the cartoon series Rick and Morty: when confronted with the full glory of the universe we prefer to continue bickering away at our dysfunctional marriage. In America's case, it's a marriage to the Democrats.

Frankly, I hope she stays.
Why?
1) Because no one who replaces her will prove to be progressive in the end; and
b) The longer she remains in the spotlight, the better it is for those of us who would like to see the entire system collapse.
Don't worry, we'll have to drag her out
and you can turn out the light as she goes.
On to Biden since 1973
B - I Used to Think This, But Then It Hit Me:
When the system collapses and the veneer of respectability of politics and government is removed, there will not be a revolution.
Corporate will step in, assume the functions of government, and make the trains run on time. They are the only institutions with the organization and cash to make that happen, absent the government.
Once they're done poisoning the political well, it won't mean revolution, it will be the End Game.

Pelosi and Feinstein
are both examples of the twisted New Dems that use twisted identity politics and wedge issues to manipulate voters. Joe Biden and Jerry Brown are two more examples of septagenerian Dems with a stranglehold death grip on power who refuse to let the Democratic party evolve and adapt.

They're one and the same!

Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.
It's 'their turn' to be out,
It's 'their turn' to be out, to be the 'good but helpless cop who'll fix everything the next time they're in, only they can't because the other guys don't like the public having anything' while the other guys have their turn to be out, to be the 'good cops who are fighting the bad cops, but will fix everything the next time they're in'.
But what are the Dems 'communicating for the first time' to the American people other than 'FU - shut up, bend over and take it' and what used to be labeled as 'right-wing' 'scare and 10 minutes of hate' tactics in favour of enriching their paymasters and therefore their personal bonuses and investments in attacking even more other people's countries to kill them and steal their stuff at American taxpayer cost, while poverty increases and the country falls apart from 'cost-effective' neglect intended to increase privatization-for-private-profit of essential public property?
Oh, that and 'we're capitalists, we drain the public and country of money and power because those we take it from you for give us kick-backs, and that's just the way it is.'
Now, that's something to vote for something else against that, isn't it?
(Edited to add a missed space above and the following.)
They're communicating their psychopathic soulessness, what's being termed 'conservative' or 'Republican' or 'right-wing' but is really just the pathological corporate culture which I believe to have been brought into government and industry in the US (and other countries) by Nazis via projects such as Paper Clip...
This is something to give a general idea and to make the point adequately; best read in full at source, if whatever device used can manage it - and the book mentioned here certainly sounds interesting:
http://nypost.com/2014/02/01/behind-the-secret-plan-to-smuggle-nazi-scie...
Having trouble finding any that mention such as the Bush family and other Hitler-supporting industrialists involvement with this - gee, I wonder why...
Might be something in here, but I'm too tired to go poking though:
https://www.archives.gov/iwg/declassified-records/rg-330-defense-secretary
In any event, these psychopaths were brought in, normalized pathology and influenced the intertwined US corporate/political culture, as I believe to be evident.
Certainly, there were psychopathic individuals already present in these, who supported Hitler even through war-time and knowing poisoned consumer sand the general population, as well as workers without providing even minimal protections for the latter which might have cost, 'some pennies per worker', but I believe this influx of Nazi's to have reinforced and solidified the acceptance of callousness and even outright sadism in America as a successful way of 'doing business' with regard for nothing but self-interest and profit, both as industrialists and politicians, and helped to concentrate psychopaths at the top in both areas.
This also, I suspect, explains a lot in some of the more sickening actions officially countenanced or ordered within the US military since that time, which appear to come right out of the Nazi playbook, although admittedly common to certain psychopaths and psychopathic cultures.
Too tired to be trying to write, lol, hope this makes the point, which I feel to be important.
None of this is integral to American culture or to properly regulated and responsible business; it is inherent to psychopaths, who must be kept out of positions where they can exert power over, and cause harm to, others.
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
