August 6, 2020
By Brad Reed
CNBCs Jim Cramer appeared rattled after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) went off on Republican lawmakers who have shown no urgency in passing a relief package to help the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
While interviewing Pelosi, Cramer listed off policies about keeping businesses afloat and helping young people pay for college as something that he believed both Republicans and Democrats could agree to in the latest COVID-19 relief package.
Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn, Pelosi replied.
Oof, Jesus, Cramer replied.

(19 posts)First, good for Pelosi! Second, Cramer is an idiot. If he's right about something it is usually by accident.
Last week (7/30/2020) from "Stock Market Now with Cramer": Cramer thinks investors should wait to purchase Apple till after it reports its quarterly earnings. After it reported earnings, Apple increased $40 per share the following day (10.5%) and today, a week later, it has increased nearly 18%.
Wrong again, Cramer! I'm sure he'll get a nice bonus anyway, and probably a mail-in ballot.

(65,007 posts)That said, he does seem to have willingly dipped into self-parody.
He clearly no longer takes himself seriously, as he did when 100% wrong Kudlow was his partner.

(10,429 posts)She should never pass up a chance to point out what the House has passed, and Senate dems have proposed, then follow up with "republicons don't give a DAMN about people, Moscow Mitch refuses to pass anything".
And we should all call it the tRump virus or tRump plague.

WHENEVER you're talking to someone who votes GOP or makes excuses for the GOP in conversation.
Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

(14,490 posts)but I don't know the origin. In the original form, it even has its own acronym: PMYMHMMFSWGAD
Original saying: Pardon Me, You Must Have Mistaken Me for Someone Who Gives A Damn
It sounds like a Beatrice Arthur line from The Golden Girls......

(81,220 posts)But I've never heard it applied, in public, to the republi-CONS. Especially by a high-profile Dem. Sounds like Nancy knows she's got the upper hand, to be that blunt in a public statement.

(12,165 posts)The GOP doesn't give a damn now because it never has given a damn about the people who need help the most.

(90 posts)I absolutely love this. Nancy Pelosi proves herself to be formidable every single day. She tries to keep it classy, but she is over it all. She is no longer interested in giving the benefit of the doubt. She is pissed and she's showing it. The great thing is that she shows it with a smile on her face.
I think that she kinda likes the knuckle brawling every now and then. She probably has one more term, if that, before calling it quits. She doesn't have to play nice anymore because the House is secure. Moscow Mitch, on the other hand, has serious problems with keeping his job and the Republicans controlling the Senate. He'd rather bob, weave and hand wring, rather than do his job, in hopes of not getting hit before November.

I don't give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them, and they think it's Hell. Give them Hell Nancy!
