House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has been holding the floor of the House of Representatives for more than six hours and counting Wednesday, in a marathon speech protesting a budget deal reached by Senate leaders.

In her remarks, Pelosi announced that she and many fellow House Democrats would oppose the package unless House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., promised to allow a vote on a plan to shield from deportation hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally.

"Let Congress work its will," said Pelosi, who noted that Senate Republicans have slated a debate on the politically freighted subject starting next week. "What are you afraid of?"

Six hours of her senile mumbling more than qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.

What will they do when she starts talking gibberish, literally? The Republicans should just stand by and let her talk and talk and talk. She can’t keep it going for long.

Nancy, there already is a plan to shield the DACA kids from deportation.

It includes funding for The Wall, ending back Chain Migration and the Diversity Lottery.

Vote for it, if DACA is so important to you.

YES!

Make it transparent as a window that the Democrat Party is fighting for Illegal Foreigners instead of Citizens of The Republic.

Each time they pull this sort of stunt President Trump gets stronger.

Her own side wants her to implode. They know she is a negative for them. I’m sure BOTH sides of the aisle are chuckling.

Or like that state senator in Georgia who was filibustering & had her staff form a wall around her with all facing out and a wastebasket in the center so she could talk & tinkle at the same time.

;^)

The Speaker and the Minority Leader are allowed as much time as they like while they speak. They are the only two in the House with that privilege.

age 77— she really should not be doing this.

in any case, the senate has come up with something, so should not her attention be directed towards the senate agreement?

Dumb broad does not know that many words.

It’s streaming on c-span. The dumb bitch is either reading or spouting the most incredible line of bullshit on how wonderful and admirable the DACA people are.

Behind her is her support team of other anti-American leftist traitors.

I wonder how many Republicans are there? I wouldn’t be surprised if, besides the half dozen dour RATS, there’s no one else in the chamber.

Why? If we’re lucky, she’ll drop dead on the floor.

Just make sure the cameras are recording as long as she’s speaking... the 2018 campaign ads against the democrats are writing themselves.
