    She’s barely said anything compared to others. She sees the writing on the wall, and doesn’t want the fucking country to get ruined. What’s surprising about that?

      She’s barely said anything publicly.

      The fact that we’re hearing what’s she’s saying in private means that there’s been a lot discussed in private and the fact that we’re hearing it isn’t a coincidence or a leak. It’s a sign that a lot of weight is being put into this effort.

      Pelosi is an incredibly powerful woman – still – and the public never sees a lot of the work she does. Power brokering typically happens behind closed doors. The fact that we’re seeing this is definitely a reason to take notice.

        EXACTLY my point.

        So is this article the schizophrenic rambling of someone who had a conversation without the reader, or all we supposed to be in on that? Either way, the reader is clearly in the dark if we’re all supposed to “know something”.

        Terrible writing.

      She was in the Capitol when the Jan 6th insurectionists showed up ready to lynch her.

      She knows what will happen if his people win. They took to a hammer to her husband‘s head and Trump joked about it. She’s finally realizing that this whole capitulating to capital in order to stave off the left - resulting in economic stratification and consequent ripening of the populace for demagoguery might spell the death of the Republic, but possibly also her very life as well.
