Maybe it's just me.

I’m having a big problem with male candidates bashing the female speaker of the house and making it sound like they agree with those who call her extreme.
I got news for you all. That woman was the President on J6, she was on the phone getting the national guard and others to secure the Capitol, while they orange cancer was throwing plates against the wall like fucking two year old. She is why they came back to session to certify the election for Biden.
This needs to stop. Her life is in danger.
IT IS NOT OK.

But when a woman does, they consider it an assault on their manhood.

And since they clearly have so little anyway....

I'm truly praying for them all, of course especially Paul. Kindness now, the rest of the nonsense can wait for another time if people feel it's necessary to be nasty and disingenuous.

You're right--she was the President J6, and saved the country. Orange cancer wanted his followers to attack and kill, so he could declare martial law and squat in the White House until he died--thank god he was kept away from Congress that day--I'm convinced he would have incited a blood bath and made himself emperor for life. (Sorry, rambling--it's been a rotten day.)

It was a day when the elected president of the United States was sending hit men to take out the Vice-President. So the next in line was Nancy Pelosi.

I was fine with Ryan running away from Pelosi because I figured, whatever it takes to win. But now he should take those ads down.

How long we had to hear that Pelosi should step down, she has no plan for a replacement as Speaker, new leadership new leadership new leadership, that she didn't want to impeach Trump, that she doesn't like to bring things to a vote not because she knows she doesn't have the votes but because she doesn't want to, stopping progress. Just saw a discussion with the usual tired accusations: corrupt-bribed by donors-old-wealthy-elite-establishment-insider trading and how she supposedly hates progressives. Those aren't right-wing attacks.

She's same as Republicans for that side and a radical socialist who's destroying America on the other. All idiots who become giddy with hate over nothing existing in reality.

Meanwhile Pence was doing what? BUT the Speaker of the House directed action during an attack on our country.

Video proves a WOMAN handled the 2nd attack on our Capital in the history of the United States.

I've been thinking about that today.. the part about how she was so Brave on Jan 6th.

I know.. I hate it when they go along with the brainwashing that made Nancy Pelosi the hatemongering target.. But they want to WIN in their Districts and I've read that Nancy doesn't mind.. as in whatever it takes.

I wish it didn't have to be that way, either.

Lets see how much they want to protect and cherish America. Bless the Pelosi's and may they have as much health, long life and happiness as possible.

Next time Fox news says anything outside of simple disagreement, it's time to tell their sponsors, drop them for all time or you can expect us to drop you with them, for all time.

It has been in my mind all day that on J6, Madame Speaker called VP Pence to check on his safety and to wish him well. Has anyone heard Pence make a statement denouncing the attack in Paul Pelosi? These people are disgusting.

Some Christian he is.

the misogyny is visceral, naked, and brutal.
And notice how often it is directed toward women that are not only achievers - but also a class act on top of that.

The Repukes hatred of women is glaringly obvious. Who's promoting the horrid attacks on women's rights? REPUBLICANS. Who always attacks women who are strong. REPUBLICANS. Their attacks on Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and any other woman who speaks out or stands up for themselves or others, is oh so predictable. Kicking for visibility.
