House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi took the rare step Wednesday of giving a marathon speech supporting Democrats’ attempts to legalize the status of young immigrant “dreamers,” in a bid to pressure Republicans to act. Her more than eight-hour speech ranked as the longest given by a member of the House of Representatives in at least a century, possibly ever, focusing on an issue that has dominated the Democratic agenda in recent months. But it also came as her caucus began three days of closed-door meetings to craft a 2018 agenda that can win wider appeal in November’s elections.

Yeah. But disappointed. Was hoping for another special election, and to be shut of her forever.

[Eleutheria5]

By the Nancy Pelosi Standard, you mean. Yeah. This is just run-of-the-mill for her.

It depends on what you want to believe the MSM or your own common sense

Holy crap Batman!!!

I first saw 6 hours, then 7 hour, and now 8 hours of Crazy Nancy blathering - aren't she and her side supposed to be against torture???

[Eleutheria5]

You weren’t supposed to actually listen to her! That’s why Apple made the I-Phone and G-d made the ear phone, so you can tune out and watch re-runs of the Munsters, or a ball game or something, while some crashing bore drones on and on and on.

Re: torture. Are you a terrorist? Are you even Middle Eastern? Is your skin at least on the dark side? No? Well, you deserve to be tortured, then, whitey.

Leftist one trick pony rhetoricians think that all the world’s ills can be solved by semiotic new speak.
