Over forty years she served herself very well.

There has been more than enough downer stuff this week, so let's have some fun with this as we wrap it up.
Young kids today may not know this, but members of Congress are allowed to leave office via retirement. They don't teach American Government in schools anymore, and the kids just see everyone on Capitol Hill becoming fossilized. The Founding Fathers didn't include age limits for Congress in the Constitution because people didn't use to live this long.
Oh, also because people didn't want to be politicians all their lives.
Nancy Pelosi — who was first elected to Congress when MTV was fresh and Ronald Reagan was president — will be leaving office of her own volition when her term ends in 2027. Here is part of her statement from the post that Chris wrote about her retirement announcement:
“I will not be seeking reelection to Congress. With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative,” Pelosi said. “As we go forward, my message to the city I love is this: San Francisco, know your power. We have made history, we have made progress, we have always led the way. And now we must continue to do so by remaining full participants in our democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear.”
It sets my teeth on edge when politicians refer to themselves as public servants or speak of giving "service." It's a decades-long peeve of mine. Because it's garbage.....

I trust a person who gets wealthy building things more than I trust a person who gets wealthy through a career in politics.
“The retirement of Nancy Pelosi is a great thing for America,” Trump said.
It was classic Trump—direct, biting, and unapologetically honest about how he saw Pelosi’s career.
“She was evil, corrupt, and only focused on bad things for our country. She was rapidly losing control of her party, and it was never coming back. I’m very honored that she impeached me twice and failed miserably twice,” he continued. Trump then closed his statement with one final, unmistakably Trumpian flourish. “Nancy Pelosi is a highly overrated politician,” he said.
See ya!
The future Democrat leaders will be even more corrupt and evil.
What’s replacing her is much, much worse.
That’s to money shot.
Careful what you wish for.
She will be replaced by the far worse Scott Weiner who is buy destroying California’s single family neighborhoods.
Pelosi lined her pockets and did tremendous damage to America much like Obozo.
Whatever will we do without her? A hell of a lot better, that’s for sure!

You think the likes of AOC and Mamdani are better?
It’s WAY PAST time for her to head off into the sunset. I was beginning to think she was planning to pull a “Dianne Feinstein” and take to the wheelchair for getting around, then die while in office. Go home Nancy and spend the rest of your life with your “loving husband” Paul. Ha!
> Careful what you wish for. <
Good point. Older Democrats like Pelosi, Biden, and Hillary are corrupt (obviously). But they’re not dedicated communists.
The new breed - AOC, Mamdani, etc. - are dedicated communists.
Sort of like being poked in both eyes instead of in just one
Hilarious, I sure will miss Trump when he is no longer President.
Future Democrat leaders will be in prison camps. Or they will send us to prison camps.
Plan accordingly.
Maybe for once we will have a full crop of Tana leaves.
Bad news for the Botox industry.
I trust a billionaire who becomes a politician more than a politician who becomes a millionaire.
