A Tribute to one of the best Speakers of the House ever

In honor of Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul, I made a contribution today to Senator Rafael Warnock's re-election campaign.

It is possible that the end of the current session of Congress might turn out to be Nancy Pelosi's last days as Speaker of the House. If Democrats wind up not holding the house, which, in spite of some good news over the past few days still looks like a possibility, then this last session prior to the holidays might be the last days of her service.

There is no question in my mind that she is one of the best Speakers I've seen in my lifetime. She has had to endure serving during a time when the other side has become increasingly hostile, ramping up hateful rhetoric, personal attacks that have nothing to do with politics, and behaving in a way that discredits their integrity. Speaker Pelosi has always been gracious in her responses. maintaining a professional demeanor in the face of some ridiculous behavior. She distinguished herself with her leadership during the Trump Insurrection, with her personnel choices for two impeachments and the January 6th investigation committee, and in the way she has handled the legislative agenda, party factions and all that goes with it. She will go down in history as one of the best Speakers of the House ever to serve.

1. Without a doubt the best in my lifetime. She does deserve her retirement and time with her husband.

She has been a dedicated public servant and not enough credit is given for that to our elected officials

[Traildogbob]

20. She Sure does.

Can ya believe we are paying a disgraced ex speaker retirement and health insurance. GangGringruch! And a treasonous ex president.

2. Kicking for visibility

3. She sounds tired

I think she might retire completely. She's been the best in our time, not one of the best.

4. Someday there will be a statue of this woman in the Capitol rotunda.

I think we should set up a go fund me right now.

LOVE HER!!!

8. I don't know how long you've been here

But back after the 2004 election, Barbara Boxer objected to affirming the election. That followed the disgrace of 2000 when no Senator would agree with the black caucus from the House who pleaded that Bush's win was bogus. It was highlighted in Fahrenheit 911.

DU raised some money here and filled her office full of roses. It would be nice if we could fill her house in SF with roses. Any old timer here remember who organized that? I have no idea how it was done.

9. I've only been a member since 2008, but was lurking for a long time before that

and I vaguely remember this.

I have no idea who organized it...but GREAT IDEA.

14. Nancy knows people.

And by that I mean she knows what motivates them. She can bring people together, one way, or another. 😉

15. Without a doubt, the best speaker of my lifetime

No one can hold a candle to her.

[ancianita]

16. She deserves all the honor and praise we can give. She's definitely the best Speaker of my lifetime.

I nominate her for a presidential medal of freedom.

[yardwork]

17. Great idea! I'll do the same.

[FakeNoose]

18. That's very thoughtful

I can't imagine that Speaker Pelosi will want to continue as Speaker, after the attack on her husband.

[Wild blueberry]

19. The BEST

Thank you

[Joinfortmill]

21. Magnificent woman.

[gademocrat7]

22. Speaker Nancy Pelosi is am amazing woman.

She has served this country with grace, dignity and humility. Simply the best!💙

[Dravot]

23. She's great, and she's old

Are there any plans in place for who should lead the House Dems after her?

[lees1975]

24. I don't know. She's one of a kind.

In all honesty, I can't imagine anyone else leading the party. Honestly, if Republicans do manage to control the House, something still in doubt at this point, I hope she continues as minority leader. I wouldn't blame her for not doing that, but she was just re-elected with over 80% of the vote in her district and they deserve her leadership and representation for the next two years.

I will never forget her standing on the platform behind the orange headed buffoon after his state of the union speech getting caught ripping her copy in half and how that caused some of the Republicans to jiggle with rage. She was so matter of fact about it, completely unapologetic and signaled to the country that her party was in the majority and he needed a lesson in how that works.

She made a trip into Kyiv to assure President Zelinskyy of US support, while it was still more or less under attack.

Let's let her finish out her term as speaker. She deserves that honor without all of the speculation and jockeying for position.
