Would be nice if Democrats fought Republicans instead of progressives.
They learned nothing in the first 11 months of this year, and they're not about to start now.
Of course she is.
Could you not?
Nancy "McConnell" Pelosi, still hard at work, fucking over America for personal gain.
Strange, how is Pelosi going to make any stock money off such a move?
Nah I don't think she's doing anything active now
Maybe she will die. Here a fall like that at her age most times is a death sentence.
Not any time soon. The correlation is death within 5 years. And it's definitely not absolute, someone like her with the best healthcare is going to get support most people don't get.
Looking a bit dipose-able
I don’t why shes hating so hard

Hey, I tried a quick google search but no luck. Was wondering if someone knew what the position entails? What does a member of the house oversight committee work to do? Forgive my ignorance. Thanks in advance!
It's basically the investigative arm of Congress. When you see random people answering questions in committee it's generally this committee. A good example is the steroid scandal in baseball. They called in all kinds of people to testify to Congress on that.
Oh ok that makes sense. I could see AOC being a good pick for that as she is very direct and not afraid to call out BS. I think the committee would be most effective composed of a diverse group of representatives both young and old.
Conservatives love making AOC the face of the party. I don't think Pelosi is wrong.
And AOC doesn't have issues with clap backs. She is definitely the right person for the job.
Two things:
Pelosi has clearly been enriched by her office via insider trading.
Living in fear of how conservatives will call you names is a cowards position, on top of being ineffective.
Nancy Pelosi needs to GTFO. Why does she have any power at all to be calling these shots? She's a criminal. We dont need 84 year old oligarchs in government positions at all. We should have an age limit, and a wealth limit in order to be eligible serve.
