Quite an amazing statement from Speaker Pelosi! Major shot at McCarthy:

When Mitch McConnell — who lives by Pres. Reagan’s rule on never speaking ill of another Republican — warns of a “cancer” in the ranks, Qevin McCarthy, Q-CA, would do well to heed the advice of another US President, Pres. Kennedy, on the dangers of embracing extremism.

Unfortunately, I don't think the guy understands what shame is, he is a coward and he shows it. I am convinced republicans have been compromised, I have never seen so many people in fear, you can see it in their body language.

Next time Lindsey Graham is on TV, watch how he swallows as he speaks, he has a hard time saying the things he does because it seems that somewhere in his brain he knows he doesn't agree with them.

And most of the republicans have the same problem. Jim Jordan usually looks down when he speaks, he will move his head up and down, but looks down a lot, and they stutter even though they don't suffer from it.

They are all afraid, they live in panic.

He, and therefore Putin, must certainly have something on them. Sexual escapades, shady financial dealings, there's gotta' be something there and I certainly hope that it can be uncovered soon.

Benedict Donald didn't choose his closest allies because of their knowledge and talent, he chose them because he knows they're compromised and therefore he has control over them.

Note the date:

Nancy Pelosi will ‘cut your head off and you won’t even know you’re bleeding,’ daughter Alexandra Pelosi says

Jan. 2, 2019 at 3:36 p.m. EST

On a day when members of at least one famous political family have been publicly feuding with each other, documentary filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi, the daughter of incoming House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), struck a different note, vouching for the effectiveness of her mother’s leadership skills.

“How does she approach meetings with President Trump, A, and B, just what are your feelings about this person who you know quite well becoming speaker of the House for a second time?” host John Berman asked during an interview Wednesday on CNN’s “New Day.”

The younger Pelosi responded: “She’ll cut your head off and you won’t even know you’re bleeding.”

As it seems your own responses are no more, nor no less "spun up" than any other response, I'm forced to conclude you unwittingly placed yourself in the same demographic you indict.

Oh brother. What an insult to Nancy. She's much more sophisticated, and she wields her scalpel with great precision and grace.

Frankly, anyone can "clap-back" with sledgehammer insults and name-calling... that takes no effort at all. When anyone CONTINUALLY uses Twitter to slam and insult denigrate others, it becomes old-hat and tedious (look at Trump if you need an example of that.)

But Nancy... ahh... she knows how to wait. She steers clear of the obvious and cheap-shots. Getting into twitter wars for their own sake serves no useful purpose. She knows that when you wrestle with pigs, both get dirty. Instead, she's shown us the wisdom of waiting for the moment that her wit and direct approach will have the biggest impact.

With one little letter, just one quick slice, Nancy has wounded him with an indelible scar that will follow him for LIFE!! He didn't even feel it when it happened.

Nancy rocks!

It basically comes from reading too fast and missing things (like punctuation and occasionally whole words.) But it can be fun to run with.
