Pelosi needs to do something soon.

[OliverQ]

People are getting fed up and I'm seeing lots of calls for her removal or donating to her challenger because she refuses to hold Trump accountable.

Trump's crimes are too egregious to just keep putting this off.

[Cartoonist]

1. She has a challenger?

She's being primaried?

[OliverQ]

2. Yes.

7. Seriously?

He may have something to say, but he's wasting his time using a hopeless campaign. It's hard to run for office against a Democrat, and repubs are scarce here in CA.

23. San Francisco will not vote for a Pelosi challenger.

[SlogginThroughIt]

3. something doesn't add up with your claims.

[triron]

4. Will she issue another sternly worded statement?

[Jacoby365]

5. I used to believe in Pelosi. Not anymore.

I live in her district. She is a big disappointment to me. Trump needs to be held accountable for his lawlessness. Pelosi needs to step up and take charge. Need more COWBELL!! If she is deluged with phone calls and emails maybe she will do something.

[MontanaMama]

6. Breathe.

Removing the Speaker wouldn’t any good...in fact we would be more vulnerable than we are.

8. If a quid pro quo could be proved in the Ukrainian scandal she could do something

[OliverQ]

10. There doesn't need to be a quid pro quo.

Jeremy Bash was just talking about this. Trump is engaging in extortion and conspiracy. The mere act of trying to withhold military aid from Ukraine unless they go after his political opponent is a crime in itself.

[njhoneybadger]

15. I didn't know about withholding military aid

That's BIG if true

[Laurian]

9. I just emailed her....again.

[StarfishSaver]

11. You should email the Members who don't support impeachment

[Stuart G]

12. She will. The question is, "timing." Pelosi will figure it out, when the time is right...

When the ...time is right...Pelosi will act.

[Kingofalldems]

13. Got any links on the challenger assertion?

[Kingofalldems]

14. Trump commits treason and you attack Nancy Pelosi.

They have to get the evidence before proceeding.

[mcar]

16. Ooh, another Pelosi bashing thread!

Yay!

It's not like we should be slamming Republicans or anything. Let's just go all out on attacks on our leader.

[OliverQ]

18. I'm absolutely slamming Republicans.

But Democrats have powers they're refusing to use. They're still trying to play by the old rules that no longer work and they're getting nothing out of it.

Bill Barr, Lewandowski, etc. should all be held in contempt and in the House jail right now.

[Celerity]

17. She is not able to get enough of the centrists who are in swing and red districts to support

hardcore action.

It is the price we pay for operating inside a RW-skewed (gerrymandering and voter suppression) paradigm.

Same thing will happened with the Public Option if we oust Rump and also take back the Senate. Some Dems there will help block it as well.

I also think that deep down, Pelosi really feels that Impeachment attempts will cost us the House in 2020. Make no mistake, if the shoe was on the other foot, the Rethugs would have already impeached a Dem president. Can you imagine if Hillary had done one one-hundredth of the shite Rump has done?!? They are ruthless and do not care about blowback, as they think they will win in the long game.

[cwydro]

19. Yep. nt

[Hortensis]

20. You only think you're seeing all those calls for removal.

Seeking them out to validate your assumptions is, to put it mildly, intensely self deluding.

Go for a walk, chat with people at the supermarket, sitting in the park, your neighbors, the lunchroom at work, and see how many calls you run into. Don't search out MAGA types particularly, though, that'd defeat the purpose, which is self informing.

[Sewa]

21. Her strategy is working, why should she

Change it now. Every week another impeachable offense and soon a majority of Americans will support impeachment

[pnwmom]

22. Next Thursday is when DNI Maguire is scheduled for his open hearing.

Nothing will happen before then on Nancy's part.

[wasupaloopa]

24. And I will bet you dollars to donuts nothing will

happen at that hearing.

[pnwmom]

26. It's after the hearing that I expect something to happen. n/t

[LexVegas]

25. Lots of calls huh?

[Lib 4 Life]

27. President trump has usurped the position. it seems our constitution has no recourse.
