She’s like a headache that never quite goes away.
She’s an icecream headache that never goes away...
For starters, we should ALL go poop on her lawn!
A house should fall on her. Or they should pour water on her so this old witch melts.

“Hurry up, if you wanna keep your little job! I want Ice Cream, and I want it NOW!”
‘I’m MELTING!!..(Or is it my Botox?) Oh, what a world.”
The hell of it is if you don’t vote for your party’s chosen leader you won’t get any committee assignments. Or worse, you may get stuck on some committee you don’t know or care anything about about.
5 republicans stayed home
Shoulda put them in biogear to vote

Not sure if a Speaker had made it to 90 or not.

First abstained, then voted for that demented 80 yr old woman
The so-called progressives can shut up about wanting “ change”
Nobody was seated yet from NY-22 (still undecided). There may be a couple of other similar cases.
So much for the promises by many Democrats to boot her...
As I indicated, wouldn’t have actually made a difference. She had just under 50% of the vote.
The Cortez Conquistador woman voted for Pelosi. Wonder what sort of deals were orchestrated for support.
