**Breaking** Pelosi on MSNBC live now (re: Barr)

Nice! She's going through all the important legislation that House has passed and Senate has killed. Calling out McConnell specifically. She needs to call out McConnell every damned day...

e.g., climate change, violence against women, equal pay, gun safety, net neutrality....

Minority wimp McCarthy just yesterdsy in front of cameras saying in 10 months dems have done nothing on policy, wasting time on trump attacks. Why did not one reporter call him to his face? I hate these people with passion. Not one soul among them. All lying cultists for profit of themselves. Drain the swamp my ass. The swamp is way over it's ecological carrying capacity so maybe nature will thin them out with disease and canabilism, one can dream.

Deputy Dawg needs to go to the slammer. Just another corrupt cartoon villian (apologies to the real D Dawg, who is much more honorable).

Hey, that'd be a start. Then he needs to be tried for the crime of lying to Congress and impeached.

she were to talk about that stuff every day. The media likes Drumpf because he says stupid shit, he lies everytime he speaks publicly, and he's always attacking someone with bullshit that he would never say to their face being the scary little bitch he is. Therefore, Nancy could say all those things that you're encouraging her to say, and it wouldn't mean a thing because it wouldn't get any coverage. The public likes a fight, and Drumpf is good at talking shit that his ass can't cover, when he has a secret service detail surrounding him.
If he were talking the same shit to someone on the block, he wouldn't be talking the same shit. So while I hear what you're saying; if she gave that press conference everyday, it would fall on deaf ears because the truth is everyone likes to see a good fight. No one wants to hear a progress report on what the Congress did yesterday.

This is VERY important. We need to push that the House is tackling the issues Americans elected us for, not just investigating drumpf. This list of bills should be in commercials, posters, projected on the walls at the convention. All with the footnote “killed by McConnell”. All with the message that if you care about these things, vote Democrat.

She wasn't her usual put-together self, looking tired, a bit haggard and thin in the face. I'm concerned that Dump's antics are getting to her and wearing her down. Sure hope it's just temporary and not a sign that she's ill.
