Don’t mind me, I’m just gonna eat my popcorn and watch the shitshow that is the comments.

[georgejefferson]

So to sum it up: She made it to the top by having no loyalty, being a snake, and willing to throw anyone in her way under the bus.

[Largeicedcoffee]

Regardless of your opinion of her, she jumped into politics in her late 40’s after having children and being a mom. It’s never too late to give up on your dreams!

Amazing how long you can stay in power in spite of your failures when you have the media behind you.

Being good at fundraising just shows that she owes people favors for the money she recieves

"And though the forest was shrinking, the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that since her handle was made of wood, she was one of them."

"It was a setup, she set me up! The salon owner owes me an apology!" 😭

[whirlwindferocity]

Q. " So what are the tactics that have kept her in power so long?"
A. WITCHCRAFT

[ahmarsaeed]

You’ve got to admire her.

In the way one would admire Francis Underwood.

[danielmitchell]

So basically Nancy Pelosi is a masterclass on power dynamics. She's like a woke Cersei Lannister.
