When you’ve lost Nancy Pelosi, you might as well clear out your desk.
Amid all the chaos and whiplash in US politics over the past few weeks, one law remained constant: Pelosi is uniquely influential and has the power to make or break careers – even those of American presidents.
The former House speaker did more than anyone else to re-engineer the race for the White House, breathing new life into her Democratic party and sending Donald Trump’s Republicans into a tailspin.
Pelosi, 84, publicly encouraged 81-year-old Joe Biden to make a decision about his re-election campaign when he had already insisted he had no plans to step aside. Once he did drop out and endorse Kamala Harris, Pelosi scored another victory when former congressman Tim Walz was named as running mate.
Pelosi is a fossilized old barnacle that need to be scraped from the hull. If you’re old enough to remember when steam was the number one source of power, it’s time to step aside and let some younger blood take the reins.
IMHO.
I get what you are saying, but I have bad news for you about steam power and coal, geothermal, solar thermal, natural gas, and nuclear power plants.
Rankine Cycle still undefeated
That they’ve all gone the way of the dodo, and now the world runs on puppy power?!?!
Ok, I’ll bite.
Who? Name one person who can do what she does as well as she does it.
I’ll wait. It’s gonna be a while.
Who will replace her if she suddenly passes away because shes 84? She should be ensuring the party can function without her. She should be spinning up the next generation of leaders before it becomes critical. We shouldn’t have to Weekend at Bernie’s politicians in order to keep the government from collapsing.
It’s the same with Biden.

Wild take.
