Dear Madam Speaker: Handshake only, please. No Kissyface, no peck on the cheek

[question everything]

assuming there will be someone to accept the gavel, just smile and shake hands.

Thank you and for all you have done.

[Mr.Bill]

1. Make sure you wash your hands afterward. n/t

[magicarpet]

4. .... use some of that Covid virus germ juice too...

.... to clean the Fascist off your hands...

[magicarpet]

9. .... is Pelosi allowed to just spit in McCarthy's face,...

.... then throw the gavel at his feet and just walk away ? Would that be in accordance with US House protocols and decorum? Seeing how Kevin is such a filthy fabricating fascist ?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. Or add insult to injury....wear latex gloves

When passing the gavel. That will make the news cycle.

17. That's what I was gonna say. Who knows what's on that man's hands

[TexasTowelie]

2. No need to shake hands either.

Speaker Pelosi can give him the COVID elbow rub or a fist bump instead.

[Sneederbunk]

3. Nancy definitely needs to be told what to do.

[question everything]

7. You can at least show her the respect of referring to her by her title, "Sir"

[AZSkiffyGeek]

8. And you could have shown some respect

And treat her like she knows what she’s doing.

[question everything]

11. Elected officials are used to be addressed on all topics.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

12. So it's okay for you to condescend to her

But it’s not okay for someone to call her Nancy?
I mean if she’s used to it….

[Walleye]

6. With a buzzer in her hand

[bottomofthehill]

10. She does not have to worry, it is not her gavel to give.

The Democratic Leader at Noon tomorrow is Mr Jefferies. He is the one who turns over the gavel.

[tritsofme]

13. Won't it be Jeffries handing off the gavel?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

14. Did not outhoing Speaker Pelosi hand over the gavel to John Boehner?

I think he gave her a friendly hug as well.

[bottomofthehill]

15. Yes, but she was the Minority Leader

She is not the minority leader in this congress.

[ColinC]

16. If there isn't anyone to accept the gavel does she remain speaker?

Or does the house become speaker less until there is

[Quanto Magnus]

18. Just walk up...

drop the gavel

walk away...

[Midnight Writer]

19. Recall that McCarthy said it was tough to resist beating Nancy in the head with the gavel.

Democrats in Congress should remember that whenever they are tempted to "play nice" with these cretins.
