Column: Pelosi on Biden ouster: ‘I just wanted to win this election. So if they’re upset, I’m sorry for them’

CHICAGO — Nancy Pelosi, whose fingerprints are all over the defenestration of President Biden, has expressed deep sadness at the rupture in their relationship.

The two go back decades, to a time when a then-young Delaware Sen. Joe Biden was on the rise and Pelosi, a mother of five and devoted Democratic Party volunteer, hosted one of San Francisco’s must-stop political salons. (The kids were pressed into duty as waitstaff.)

She now praises Biden as one of the nation’s greatest and most consequential presidents, deserving, even, of a place on Mount Rushmore.

But when it comes to campaigns and elections, the former House speaker has never had much use for sentimentality, priding herself on a reptilian cold-bloodedness.

So when Biden face-planted on the debate stage in Atlanta, spelling disaster for Democrats up and down the ticket, Pelosi quietly went to work. Now just another member of the Democratic House ranks — but still wielding enormous clout — she and other party pillars helped maneuver the president into the corner from whence he abruptly quit the race in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris.

It’s all just business, of course, though Biden hasn’t see it that way. Pelosi has acknowledged as much. The two — once close — haven’t spoken since the president grudgingly stepped aside nearly a month ago.

Both of these ancient fossils will be dead soon, and the very ugly truth will come out - and it will be completely ignored by the MSM

But if Trump is so evil and a threat to democracy, shouldn’t a win be easy ?

Nancy Pelosi in book
Queer Joints, Wiseguys and G-Men
By Phillip Crawford Jr.

“United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi often recounts learning about politics as a little girl during the 1950s when her father Thomas D’Alesandro ran the Democratic machine in Baltimore, Maryland.
D’Alesandro was a Congressman for five terms from 1938 to 1947, and Baltimore mayor for three terms from 1947 to 1959. The Honorable D’Alesandro allegedly was a ‘constant companion’ of notorious mobster Benjamin ‘Benny Trotta’ Magliano and other underworld figures according to the FBI file on the old-school politician. The mob ties and other corruption allegations against Mayor D’Alesandro curiously have remained absent in the accounts by Speaker Pelosi about her political family.”


I have no idea if this is a reputable book. The author had a blog which “is now deleted.”
Who knows?

As speaker she kept the moderates in line-her moderates.

In other words, she’d stab her own mother in the back if it meant obtaining and holding on to just a little bit of power. Says a lot about her character, but nothing we all didn’t already know.

Along the same lines of Harry Reid’s, “It worked, didn’t it?” Anything for a little power, up to and including selling their soul to the devil himself.

With enough voter fraud Nancy, you can win any election for any office. It has nothing to do with the candidate you run. It has everything to do with who gets to count the ballots.

They just want to whatever.

They do not have any regard for rules and order when they have power. Their voters are just fine with that it’s how they operate within their lives- in their work and within their families

Wherever Trump has power he follows the rules. It’s why they are so frustrated looking for anything he’s done illegally. He hasn’t

He will not do what they do when they’re in power- ignore the constitution.

Nancy’s bright idea of putting Biden on Mt. Rushmore was the guilt talking, because she knows both Joe and Jill now hate her guts, but if Nancy were being fully honest, she would stare at the camera and say “Sorry, NOT sorry!”.
She has always been goal oriented, decorum and legalities be damned!
