Summary
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, fractured her hip after a fall down a marble staircase in Luxembourg during a Congressional visit marking the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.
Pelosi, who was hospitalized but remains alert and working, plans to return to the U.S. soon.
The incident, coupled with recent falls by other aging lawmakers like Sen. Mitch McConnell, has renewed calls for Congressional term limits.
Pelosi’s visit held personal significance, as her uncle was killed in the historic WWII battle.

If only she could predict her fall like she can predict the stock market.
I’m up 15% by following her with Autopilot stock platform.
Ironically everyone who subscribes to that is literally pumping her every stock decision. It’s wild how it’s still that profitable.
Yeah. I did it on a lark just to see, but it was so good I’m scared to swap. Anti-Kramer is outperforming, though…
Anti-kramer still cracks me up every time I hear about it lol. It makes you wonder, though, if the trackers are largely responsible for the success of the investments.
Who knows with markets? I throw a couple hundred bucks at it every month and try not to look at it other than to see if I’m wasting my money. My Pelosi shit is up by about 15%, but overall I’m at 12.5% with my ETF performance being meh.
In any case, it’s all fucking fabricated. We’re speculating on thoughts.
Is that shorting any pizza joint where you make your own pie?
I wonder if she’s covered by United Health Care
🤞
Man, AOC really isn’t taking any prisoners when it comes to getting on that oversight committee.
Oh no. Anyway.
Maybe she should accept it when god tells her to fucking retire already
All those insider trading-backed up profits aren’t gonna pocket themselves
People like that live only for power and will never give it up voluntarily.
That’s usually a death sentence at her age. Breaking a hip is like the worst thing you can have happen during a fall at that age.
She’s a congressperson. Access to some of the best healthcare in the world and she doesn’t have to pay for it. I think she’ll be fine…
It’s about a 20% mortality rate for someone her age.
Why? What happens when you break a hip at that age?
Pneumonia, blood clots, embolisms…
Even in the best of cases, it’s often seen as “the beginning of the end.” The fracture leads to decreased mobility, which then leads to muscle loss and weakness even with physical therapy, making future falls more likely.
Yes, so many reasons. It’s just not good.
They won’t put you under.
Omfg fucking retire you fossilized continuing source of inspiration
But she only has 100s of millions of dollars.
Hey Luxembourg, you broke it, you bought it! She’s YOUR fucking problem now! AHAHAHA!

No? Still in this timeline? …fuck.
Even she’s trying to get her medical procedures done abroad now!
Look at those shoes she’s wearing. As a woman, I wish women would stop capitulating to society’s/fashion’s demand to wear shoes like this, that are made to cripple your ability to keep a sure footing, let alone run, and absolutely ruin your feet over time. Of course if you don’t do it you’re (gasp) not “fashionable”, but that’s only because these are the options you have to choose from unless you buy your own shoe factory or something.
I could go on a longer rant about it but I’ll stop there. But when you wear shoes like that at 84 it’s only a matter of time. Going down a marble staircase in them? very bad idea.
I don’t think the correct stance is to judge a woman for what she chooses to wear but I know nothing about fashion so go off. There’s plenty better things to criticize her for
I don’t want to victim blame but we all make choices and gravity isn’t some guy who can decide not to engage. An 84 year old woman with stability issues wearing stiletto heels is brave to say the least. I hope she recovers but she needs to stop wearing stuff like that.
don’t think the correct stance is to judge a woman for what she chooses to wear
So if an 84 year old woman said she wanted to wear stilts with roller skates, your response would be:
You go queen!
And not:
We need to get you checked for dementia
At some point you draw a line, or you’re just enabling an 84 year old to hurt themselves.
I mean you made your point based on her being a woman. If you wanna criticize due to her age then I agree with you
Show me an 84 year old man wearing stilettos to tour a palace with marble floors and I’ll criticize them too.
I recently looked through my (invite era) Gmail accounts filter rules.
One of the first fucking accounts I ever blocked was Pelosi. And I am way further left than that fraudulent cunt.
She was born in 1940, how significant was her uncle to her really? She was 4.

Die die die my Darling.
