Daughter of a congressman, been in the House since 1987 (40 years), 85 years old.
But yeah, she plans on quitting politics.
Just heard a great line about the Botox Queen’s retirement on a Boston talk show: “Nancy Pelosi is retiring in order to spend more time with her stock portfolio”.
Pelosi tearing up President Trump’s speech was just about the ugliest and most classless thing I’ve seen a politician do.
Good riddance to trash.
she’ll resign at or near year end.
It's a top ten for sure.
Trump broke her
(with apologies to Dr. Seuss)
The time has come.
The time has come, The time is now.
Just go. Go. GO! I don’t care how.
You can go by foot. You can go by cow.
Nancy Pelosi, will you please go now!
You can go on skates. You can go on skis.
You can go in a hat. But please go. Please!
Been waiting since the 70’s to dump Fesinstein, Biden, Boxer, Pelosi, Brown, and whomever else is hanging on to their Depends with one hand and a bottle of pills in another.
Next up dumping Schiff,Padilla Newsom, Swalwell, Waters, McGuire, Huffman, Panetta,Lieu, Frediman,etc
She's one sick broad, so addicted to power and royalty that she prefers that to living and enjoying her own life privately.
Can politics quit Nancy?
Evil Bitch
She can go back to what she does best, insider trading and banging her drunk driving killing disgusting douche bag husband of hers
Well I wish her well in her early retirement.
The day just keeps getting better...
Won’t be easy. Sort of like giving up betting on horses.
Only reason she isn’t dead yet is the alcohol preservation.
You quit politics years ago. You were busy padding your pockets. Good riddance!
Is she going to be indicted ? LOL
