Remember that lectern seen being carried around the Capitol by a rioter (who was later arrested)?

19. Pelosi deserves all types of praise ;-

Yes I can appreciate your point...and have you ever heard of 'reclaiming' a word?...as a gay kid in the 70/80's I had the insult 'queer' thrown at me often, but then in the later 90's and millenium era the "newer kids" took the word BACK, reclaimed it and repurposed it and now wear it as a badge of PRIDE!! It's a proud identity or orientation for many people now...It stands for (among other things) being proudly non-comformist, celebrating one's uniqueness, rejecting sexual identity-boxes or limitations, being open and fluid, etc etc. I've used it myself to descrbe my sexual orientation at times...quite a journey...time passes and things change, ya know ;->
