(58,785 posts)That's in spite of the unfortunate headline that caused a knee jerk to almost knock over my coffee.
But in an era when depraved, corrupt Republicans really do see huge moral issues as merely political cards that we "play" for votes and they tear up, we should avoid even accidental comparisons. "Cleaning out" the Kurds from their homeland isn't a card, even if mentally disordered Trump can only see it as one. Womens equality isn't a card, even if corrupt misogynistic Republicans cast and dismiss our fight for equality as a cynical play for good press.
We're not playing.
Nancy lead a delegation to Jordan over the weekend, one of several she's made to maintain American relations with other nations and plan for post-Trump. A Republican was among them, one who'd already announced his retirement.

(58,785 posts)incredibly silly and politically extremely subversive notion that no one knows more than anyone else, has also been given a smack by Nancy's and her team's competence. I should have said how much I appreciate your underlining the need for skill and that such a thing exists.
Our house caucus also demonstrated their own competence by reelecting their best choice to lead their efforts.

For all of this we should first thank Trumps stupidly and his belief that he is above the law and that he can abuse his power in any manner he sees fit. Secondly, we should be thankful that have someone with the skill and political savvy of Nancy Pelosi leading our majority in the House of Representatives. She is indeed one of the most skillful politicians of our lifetime.
