I hope the media pays constant attention to her. Please, interview her 24 hours a day. Quote the hell out of her.

“She should be able to find something free somewhere?”

Yes.
Her office.

Other congressmen sleep in their offices. She can too.

It highlights the fact that she is clueless.

Your problem and your dinero is some DC area familia’s January housing payment solution.

Capitalism works, if you think about it.

her thinking is so occasional,
so unbalanced, that she must have received
her ‘education’ in bars or pole dancing, if at all.

President Gerald Ford lived in Park Fairfax(?) in Alexandria, VA when he was a Congressman.

She has no kids and makes $7500/mo. Rent will be a couple Grand, leaving about 5 Grand for the rest of things. If she cannot make it on that, she’s as dumb as we suspect.

This is so crazy. She will have no problem crashing with someone there, until she starts getting paid from Congress in January. Heck she might even be invited to live with some nice liberal or Hispanic family for the duration of her time in Washington. And they might even let her live there rent free, because they love her so much because of politics.

I hear what she’s saying, but in her particular case, she has no problems at all.

Someone else who got a new job in a new city and has to move might have problems with this, but she herself will not have those problems.

Ya, what’s with this “partner”? Is he like a boyfriend? Do they live together? Does he work and contribute to household finances? What’s the deal here?

How can someone as smart as this, especially in economics, not have three month’s rent worth of savings? How is this possible?

I saw “partner” too and immediately got a little ill - WTH is wrong with people these days? It’s either your boyfriend or girlfriend - “partner” in the context she’s using it is elitist drivel.

You know, I never thought I would say this but I’m glad she won. This dimwit is going to be comedy gold for the next two years.

Dear Alexandria,

If you will keep your mouth shut for a couple of weeks an apartment, new car, etc. will not be a problem. See you in Congress!

Love,

Nancy Pelosi

Uh, back around 1978/1980, when Jim Jeffords was first elected to Congress, he spent his first months living in a motor home or camper in Greenbelt Park.

Silly little communist bitch. Her economic ignorance isn’t going to be decreased one bit by this little dose of reality.

Surprised that Soros or 0bama hasn’t set her up in a nice D.C. house already.

Bingo. As I predicted on FR earlier.

She is virtue signaling for the “THE RENT IS TOO DAMNED HIGH” campaign.

There’s nothing affordable about D.C. ... but I’m sure that her Economics degree will help her find a way to afford something. /s
