About Nancy Pelosi...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Pelosi

Assumed Office ...June 2, 1987

That means Pelosi has served over 31 years in Congress. Served under Regan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, Obama, and now Trump. What she has seen goes way beyond what we can imagine. A lady in Congress who became speaker and now speaker again. 3rd in line to the Presidency. What do you suppose she experienced? About political experience? She has been there and done that. To conclude with an old phrase..Mr. Trump does not know what he is up against. He is playing poker with 2 of a kind against a Royal Flush. Maybe a tiny clue, but a very small clue.

lessening the dollar amount, but still she persists. No effin wall.

He'll find some face saving position and fold soon as deplorables need their paychecks too.

3. There's that old adage-- "If you're at the table and don't know who the mark is...

then you're the mark."

Never forget that Trump didn't lose a fortune playing at the casino-- he lost it owning the casino.

6. Not only did Trump bankrupt the casino, Trump is bankrupting the Republican Party.

....He will not win in 2020, because he will have resigned by then, and some of his family will have been indicted, tried and convicted of treason. Pelosi has more brains in the tip of her tiniest fingernail, than Mr. Trump has in his whole head. What is coming is a Train Wreck for Trump. And when that hits, Trump will be taking a whole group with him.
... I think he now has a small sense of what may be coming. Maybe a small clue, instead of no clue. But his self centered behavior and thinking still denies the extent of upcoming wreck. If he could think beyond himself and his small close crowd, then he could see what he cannot see. It is like someone who has lived in the Sahara Desert all his life has moved to Far Northern Florida right by Tallahassee, near the Gulf of Mexico And a category 5 Hurricane is approaching.
...Pelosi is one of the leaders of the approaching team that will wreck Trump for good. He has always been saved by his own team. One of the leaders of that team, his lawyer, has already coped a deal with the "Hurricane 5". Others have done, or are doing the same.. Trump who has been saved in the past, will not get past Pelosi and the rest of the "Hurricane 5" destroyers. It is just a matter of time when it hits. Just when, not if. Pelosi, Mueller, and the rest of the good guys are approaching to destroy the bad guys in this movie..
..We are in the last act of this one. It is a long act, but it is the last...Yes, I need more..

The plutocracy will not go easy. That $1.4 trillion tax cut whet the appetite. It will take a couple more blue waves with subsequent actions that the 99% recognize as helpful before we can truly claim it's the last act.

10. I remember Nancy when she was a rising star in Dem Party ranks.

In the mid1990's she flew in from Cali to take part in a fund raiser dinner, honoring the b'day of Rep. Patsy Mink's husband. Many of the event's attendees were union members from the various unions in Hawaii. Nancy addressed the crowd, excused herself, and then was off back to Cali on a red eye flight. Little did any of us sitting at our table know what a dynamic political figure she would become.
