    Did she mention how she wasn't going to support President Bush's wall?

    EDIT: LMFAO she was talking about her rosemarys given to her by the Pope!

    Hahahahahaha! Progressive liberal marxists are finding God!

    I find, from time to time, it's just best to let them ramble. So you can document the fact that a) they rambled, but so often because b) what they say while they are rambling is so much fun. I am sure she thought she had some moment there, where she was sure her calculation that republicans would try to squelch her which suddenly transitioned into, "am I just being an idiot standing up here rambling on and on"...... Now that is what CSPAN is all about ladies and gents...Riveting...

    LMAO.....she is reading entire Stories, wait for it...........................from The Bible! :roflol:



    While lawmakers can only filibuster in the Senate, not the House, Pelosi has the power to speak at length on the floor because of her leadership status.

    Both she and House Speaker Paul Ryan use their “leadership minute” to speak on the floor and actually speak for several minutes which they are permitted to do because of their status.

    It is not clear when Pelosi will stop speaking. She has been reading the stories of individual Dreamers, entire stories from the Bible, and opining on the urgency of a House vote on DACA protections......snip~

    Nanny Pelosi’s grandkids need to begin thinking of what nursing home granny is going to.

    Step one is to take away her car keys.

    Thread summary:

    Beta males spend their lives whining about women who have kicked their butts.

    Hence, the various Trumpflakes are whining about Pelosi again.

    She didn't filibuster or say anything about a filibuster, but the beta brigade here is pretending she did, They just want excuses to cry it all out.

    You guys don't read your own links, do you?

    It says a filibuster of sorts. No where did it say Nancy Pelosi think she can filibuster. It notes that she and Paul Ryan often speak at greater lengths due to their leadership status which they are afforded by the other members of the house.

    Good Lord people. She's making a public speech about Dreamers so that if it does fall through, she can show her party's support and blame it on the GOP. I know it requires critical thinking to understand that, so I will let you guys off the hook...

    No, it's something her and Paul Ryan do all the time. It says in the OP's source. Did you read it yet? Either you guys are illiterate or just really can't stand it when a woman has actual power. I will let you pick.

    Of course I read it. I devour anything even remotely associated with Nancy Pelosi.

    She is the most entertaining political figure I have ever known. She is a literal living embodiment of hilarity. Only Maxine Waters can even come close to her.

    How do you think I found out she was pulling out rosemarys and calling on God. Oh man. This is standup that writes itself.

    Are you going to go out on a limb and suggest Nancy knows the rules of government, let alone who the current POTUS is or even what year it is?

    It would be a bad wager.

    I like how you tried to imply I was both stupid and misogynistic though, that was a good one.
