        Yeah. I hate Nancy Pelosi. I hate Trump MORE, but I hate him more than just about anyone. Pelosi is still a garbage person.

        Okay, but “traitor”? Let’s not devalue the word by throwing it around at everyone who engages in systemic graft.

        Sure. But the statement made by the user I was responding to was pure trumper BS.

          I don’t see how what they said has anything to do with supporting Trump, Pelosi is corrupt and too old. You should focus your anger on actual Trump cultists.

            They accused her of being a traitor. Read the all caps portion of the trumpist rant.

              She might not necessarily be a traitor in the traditional sense of the word, but she did betray the American people when she began to enrich herself using her position and choose blustering instead of doing her job.

                If you think this hasn’t been the norm among politicians for two hundred years, I have a skyscraper in Iowa to sell you.

                Pelosi is only a favorite target for the rightful ire about it because of her prominence and her gender. That justified anger could and should be directed at any of a dozen others who are even worse.

                  Yeah your whataboutism is pointless. The crypt keeper makes plenty enough money to pay for real white knights if she wanted, no need for an online defense force.

                    Lol, I’m not about to defend Pelosi, just wanted to point out the agenda inherent in those who jump to villifying her before others who are worse.

                  Okay, well hopefully you’re paid well for spit shining those boots.
