The Democrats’ buzzword of the moment is “mandate.” As in “Joe won one.”
As reported by my RedState colleague Bonchie on Saturday morning, Democrat presidential NOMINEE Joe Biden on Friday night, while stopping short of claiming victory, declared “the people have given us a mandate for action” — but it was Nancy Pelosi earlier in the day who took the cake, declaring that Biden received a “tremendous mandate” — in an election that has still not been called, no less.
The mask-wearing Speaker, who was miles away from the nearest reporter, said:
“I wish we weren’t wearing masks (uh, sure she was) so we could see how exciting it is to come before you today with Joe Biden having the tremendous mandate that he has. (Cue: ROFL emoji)“This morning it is clear, that the Biden-Harris ticket will win the White House. President-elect Biden (wait, did I miss something?) has a strong mandate to lead.”
Then she said — warning: do not take a drink right before you read the following — the funniest thing I’ve read all day:

Then she said — warning: do not take a drink right before you read the following — the funniest thing I’ve read all day:
“I think Joe Biden has a big mandate, a bigger mandate than John F. Kennedy when I was in school.”
See what four years of Stage IV Trump Derangement Syndrome can do to a liberal’s brain? Even worse, Pelosi wasn’t starting from strength in the first place.

Setting aside Biden’s pretend mandate for a moment, there are all kinds of irony at play, here, beginning with the grim reality visited on Pelosi and her House Democrat Caucus by Tuesday’s election, beginning with a drubbing by Republican candidates, leaving Madam Speaker barely clinging to her gavel and no doubt facing an internecine war over whether she will hang onto that gavel with her bony little divisive fingers, or finally be deposed, after several attempts in the past.
As I reported on Thursday in an article titled Pelosi Couldn’t Wait to Be Rid of Trump; After Tuesday’s ‘Dumpster Fire’ in the House, She May Soon Be Gone Herself, in an election in which Pelosi’s Democrat majority was poised to expand its lead over House Republicans, voters instead rewarded the Republicans with a minimum of five new seats.
Now House Democrats are not only asking themselves “What the hell happened?“, as reported by Politico; the “rapid-fire finger-pointing” about who’s to blame for Tuesday’s embarrassing showing has already begun, and more than a few of those fingers are pointed directly at Pelosi herself.
“It’s a dumpster fire,” one Democratic lawmaker said Wednesday, referring to the Democrats’ performance on election night, speaking anonymously to Politico. The bottom line: A growing number of “moderate” House Democrats are calling for Pelosi’s ouster, with several disgruntled members backing House Democrat Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to replace the embattled Speaker. Said one such disillusioned Democrat: “He’s the only one prepared and positioned. He bridges moderates and progressives better than anyone. And most importantly, he’s not Nancy Pelosi.”
Anyway, let’s get back to Sleepy Joe’s “tremendous mandate,” as envisioned by the Speaker. Check out what the three following heavyweights thought about Pelosi’s ridiculous “tremendous mandate” delusion.
Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly made the same point I made in my Thursday article referenced above.
“Pelosi says Biden has a “huge mandate.” Really? Dems lost seats when supposed to gain them in her chamber, d/n/gain control of Senate, saw DT win more votes than ever with minority groups, & did not see the promised Blue Wave. Truth will prevail in Jan. when gridlock settles in.”
Kelly drops mic, walks off stage.

Media reporter for The Hill, Joe Concha, called Pelosi’s declaration “peak 2020.” Hoo boy, if that ain’t the truth.
Pelosi saying Biden owns a “huge mandate” after razor-thin margins in 7 battleground states is peak 2020…

George Washington University law professor and criminal defense attorney Jonathan Turley, who effectively argued before the Democrats’ sham impeachment trial of President Trump, unloaded on Pelosi, not only pointing to the Democrats’ “razor thin margins,” but also mocking the Speaker’s reference to “a unifier,” a position he said she “admires from a distance.”
Nancy Pelosi just called the election “a huge mandate” for Joe Biden. That is a rather curious statement given our ongoing monitoring of razor thin margins as well as the loss of seats in the House and the apparent failure to retake the Senate (despite record Democratic spending)“Pelosi who notoriously ripped up the State of Union speech also declared the importance of electing someone who is a unifier. That would seem a position that Pelosi admires from a distance
Turley drops his mic, follows Kelly and Concha off stage.

Here’s thing. We’re well aware of Pelosi’s all kinds of crazy when it comes to anything Donald Trump. But her new nonsense of suggesting a soon-to-be 78-year-old guy who can barely string two sentences together, says “Barack and I think it’s a right to have ‘badakathcare,'” and declares he plans “to lead an effective strategy to mobilize ‘trunalimunumaprzure’,” has a “tremendous mandate” is off the charts. Biden doesn’t have a tremendous mandate from anyone. In reality, in the eyes of Trump-loathing Democrats across America, the only thing Biden has going for him is he’s not Trump.
Incidentally, Merriam-Webster added a definition for “trunalimunumaprzure” to cover Joe’s butt, as it did by altering its definition of “sexual preference” in an effort to fly wingman for lunatic Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Delusional). M-W’s definition of trunalimunumaprzure: “having or showing a high degree of mental ability.”
Nah, I’m just messin’ with you — and Merriam-Webster, who deserves every minute of it.
The GOP will go along bet on it...immigration..the green new deal..
GOP the useless party ...they want to get along..fools all
If Trump loses or wins he should start a MAGA party...get everyone who voted for him to signup....we only support MAGA people...
and tell the GOP you want are vote we want results or we put up are own candidates...
working people will support it...Hispanic will support it... Black will support it.. ExDemocrats will support it....they will never support the GOP...they will just stay home......
other wise the GOP is dead
She knows she is about to be ousted. This isn’t going to help her.
I think she slobbers all of the time now. It probably doesn’t mean anything.
Amazing.
They steal an election and then have the unmitigated gall to tell all of us that they have a “mandate.”
I wonder how long it will take before the Nance realizes she the directions she receives are a result of a “man” “date.”
Definitely need to come up with a better term than is ancient misogynist one.

Of course she is - they’re planning on wrecking the United States completely and turning it into a communist state.
Universal Basic Income.
Locked in our houses for the next 2 years.
Of course this pandemic shows that we need socialist healthcare too.
Oh, and to quell all the hate and anger - any speech they disagree with must be criminalized.
WE ARE AT WAR
I think “drooling” is a better term.
Sign me up.
Barf, barf, barf. She’s on the ropes.
I would hardly call a candidate who was barely squeaking one out (yet to be determined) and who faces some still unexplained and serious corruption issues* as having a “mandate”, which, by the way, is a commonly misused word anyway.
*Frankly, what his kid does is not his fault. What might be his fault is:
1. Using his office to do favors for his son’s employer WHILE HE WAS IN OFFICE (the admission of which is actually on video!)
2. The serious compromise of the office he is running for, members of his family, if not himself (not proven), taking money from shady characters involved in an adversarial government.
Perhaps the reason that no one in government seems to be screaming about these issues is that they apparently do these things all the time.
It’s her dentures. The saliva runs through because he doesn’t use poly grip. Watching her speak and using her tongue to keep her dentures in place is comical
Um, ok, sounds about right, Nance! ;)
Donald J. Trump got more votes this election than Hitlery Rotten Clinton did in 2016 AND these are LEGAL votes.
Nan can cram that “mandate” up her ancient boney backside.
Donald J. Trump has TRUE nationwide support, not manufactured, manipulated, coerced, and corrupted ballots from non-consenting “voters” or even non-entitites as the lacklust Biden-Harris “do”.
Tucker Carlson and Mark Steyn will be delighted to know that someone figured out how to spell those words. So the first one ISN’T a gauge on a car’s dashboard that no one is allowed to go near....That was the best segment ever on a news show!! Hope you all saw it...if not, I’ll post a link.
“”badakathcare,’” and declares he plans “to lead an effective strategy to mobilize ‘trunalimunumaprzure””
Correct...”WE ARE AT WAR”
A mandate?! Even if Biden ecks out a victory, there is no mandate. Instead, based on current information, he’ll be an illegitimate president. Maybe Obama can loan him his pretend podium sign?
The Democrats’ buzzword of the moment is “mandate.” As in “Joe won one.”
Just like Al Gore did.
I’ll give her 10 months to declare Slow Joe too senile to hold office and Harris isn’t eligible as she orders a new chair for the Resolute Desk.
Email received at 11:56 am..Saturday.. Recounts haven’t even been done. FOX is now writing material for Biden...what a bunch of claptrap. FOX Cable News will no longer be on in our house. Tucker may as well leave because no self respecting patriot will ever watch FOX Cable News again.
And let’s never forget he was born in Scranton and had many tragic deaths in his family...

Excerpted:
“”It came as the Fox News Decision Desk projected Saturday that Biden will win the state of Nevada and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania.””
“”Biden was able to resist withering attacks by the president, the Trump campaign and Republican surrogates over his record in politics stretching for nearly half a century. And, he was able to deflect a barrage of incoming fire over controversies targeting him and his son, Hunter, amid charges from the president of Biden family “corruption.””
“”Biden’s victory comes five years after he passed on a White House run, as he reeled from the death of his eldest son, Beau.””
She loves her mask so people can’t see her clanking her dentures anymore.
