    For me, she lost all credibility when she refused to impeach Bush for war crimes. Seriously, Abu Ghraib? The torture memos? Nothing?

    If we had gone hard on Bush, Trump never would have run.

      Counterpoint: She was always that person from the very beginning, and that’s precisely why she didn’t quit decades ago.

      What? She’s always been socially liberal but fiscally conservative and in the pocket of big businesses.

      She has always lived a privileged life who got where she is today because of her family connections. Her father was a congressman and her brother in law was a long term member of the county and city advisory board for San Francisco. Her husband is the head of a venture capital and rel estate investment group.

        Isn’t that just the definition of a liberal?

          Pretty unanimous with liberals today. However, we have to remember she is fucking ancient and back when her career started there were still liberals who believed in government spending.

      Where? Pelosi is a bad person, and people have legitimate grievances. It seems most comments aren’t even airing those though, they’re just saying “good”. I see one calling her a bitch, and one saying she’s old which could tenuously be called misogyny if you were stretching. (At time of writing)

      Otherwise, is this just another instance of somebody being sensitive about criticism being levied towards somebody who is part of a group criticised for their nature?
