'We've Upped the Ante.' Why Nancy Pelosi Is Going All in Against Trump (BARF ALERT)

Nancy Pelosi isn’t wild about the question. The impeachment of President Donald Trump is under way, and I’ve asked the Speaker of the House if she thinks it’s the most important thing she’ll ever do. We’re sitting in her elegant office in the Capitol, on gold-upholstered armchairs around a low table topped with a vase of hydrangeas. Over her shoulder, the sweeping view of the National Mall is shrouded in wintry clouds. For a long moment, the Speaker goes silent as she seems to compile in her mind the list of accomplishments she’d rather claim as her legacy.

“Apart from declaring war, this is the most important thing that the Congress can do,” she finally says. “I’m most proud of the Affordable Care Act. But this is the most serious initiative that I’ve been involved in in my career.”

(snip) -- Pelosi has told colleagues she’s had to wear a night guard because the White House makes her grind her teeth in her sleep. But her frustration is born of determination, not unease. In our interview, I asked her if the President’s nickname for her, Nervous Nancy, is accurate. “Pfft,” she says, waving a hand. “He’s nervous. Everything he says, he’s always projecting. He knows the case that can be made against him. That’s why he’s falling apart.”

Whoever paid that dollar needs to demand it back.

Thanx for your information

One wonders, at what point did Nancy Pelosi begin to equate her position as Speaker with that of the President?

At what point did she mentally put on the mantle of power that was actually the emperor’s new clothes?

Yo Nancy!

Just because your faces is frozen doesn’t make you a good poker player.

Methinks all if the Dems went bonkers when Hillary lost, frantic on how to resurrect their carers.

For Nanzi the choice was easy......she was Speaker....third in line to the presidency.

All she had to do was pickoff Trump and Pence and she was in.

Can Nanzi top this?

TRUMP 2020 CAMPAIGN KICKOFF IN TOLEDO:

45 people went to hear Bloomberg and Judge Judy. 11 people were at a Biden rally to hear John Kerry.

Poor ugly thing lost her marbles and mojo years ago. Just a broken shell of ugliness today.

Well at least with “upping the ante” and “going all in” in the headline we’re introducing some new card playing metaphors. Everyone’s been using “doubling down” as the trite metaphor du jour , and it’s been getting a bit stale

Oh...that’s Molly Ball?

I thought it was Pelosi after a tornado.

[a little elbow grease]

WOW! Can you even visualize such a suck-up article being written about ANY Republican??

LOL ............ no.

Molly Ball ........ brainless little suck-up.

[a little elbow grease]

Is this an interview of the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives or a promotion for a Hallmark TV show?"

That is pretty common on FR given the state of journalism today.

I don’t even know if there is a “paper version” of it.

[a little elbow grease]

......... more likely.

“”Everything he says, he’s always projecting””

She knows a lot about that!

I just ran into a kid in his mid 20s that I know from town. He had a big smile on his face while getting out of his new car. He use to drive an older truck but now has a newer Infiniti Q50. The reason he can afford it is the good paying job he got driving a truck. These are the things that matter to people, not Nasty Pelosi. I know many more young people who are doing much better then a few years ago. Most know that president Trump is the difference maker.
