[PJ] If this was supposed to be damage control by Nancy Pelosi after she was forced to give up her impeachment stunt and cave to Mitch McConnell, it wasn't very smooth. Madame Speaker joined George Stephanopoulos on ABC's This Week on Sunday and did the worst thing she can do these days: speak her mind.
The Washington Examiner:
Pelosi, 79, then pivoted to McConnell, saying he has "resisted sources" that suggest Russian meddling in American elections.
"Sometimes I wonder about Mitch McConnell too," remarked Pelosi. "What's he — why is he an accomplice to all of that? He has resisted sources going in a manner commensurate with the threat for state agencies, whichever they are in a state, could be the secretary of state or whatever, to protect our infrastructure, our critical infrastructure of elections."
Earlier in the interview, Pelosi claimed McConnell, 78, was participating in a "cover-up" after the Kentucky Republican signed onto a measure to dismiss Trump's impeachment trial without witness presentations if Pelosi doesn't send the two articles of abuse and obstruction to the Senate within 25 days.
Granny Box Wine is obviously suffering from Impeachment FAIL dementia. She knows that she and the rest of the House Democrats WAY overplayed their hands on impeachment and are not going to reap any of the benefits they thought they would from it, especially the way that the economy is chugging along.

Is she even capable of putting a coherent sentence together?

The transcript of the Stephanopoulos interview with this f---ing liar contains remarks that are actually worse than the McConnell slur, above:
Appearing Sunday on ABC’s This Week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) downplayed Iranians’ dissatisfaction with their national leaders, suggesting that protesters were on the streets for diverse reasons, including support for slain terror-military commander Qasem Soleimani.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: The question is how we get there. We’re seeing now demonstrations in the streets of Iran against the regime. Do you support those protesters and would it be a good thing if they brought the regime down?
HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI: Well, the regime — the protesters are — are protesting, as I understand it, this brand of protesters ...
[spouts gibberish; Stephanopoulos interrupts this stream-of-consciousness]
STEPHANOPOULOS: They’re calling out the regime for lying. They’re saying death to Khomeini as well.
SPEAKER PELOSI: Yes. Well, whatever it is. But the fact is this, the — there were protesters in the streets before against the regime. After the taking out of Soleimani, there were protesters in the street, joined together, as you know, against us. ...But there are different reasons why people are in the street. Of course, we would love to see the aspirations of the people of Iran realized with a better situation there, but escalating the situation — unless we’ve exhausted every other remedy —
STEPHANOPOULOS: Which we haven’t?
SPEAKER PELOSI: Well, we don’t know that. We don’t know that.

She was buddy buddy with Assad while the Rat Line Express was going into Iraq. Aid and comfort to the enemy and all that. So with all this and other history, what's in it for her? And for Bernie, and Warren? Follow the money.

Nancy D'Alesandro (later Pelosi) was born in 1940.
The picture, although used on the cover of Life Magazine in 1959 was taken in 1951 so it can't be her

Bummer, dude - didn't even make it to Iowa...
[Zero Hedge] - Can we get a #Primarysowhite? *Sob* "Hold me, T-Bone!"
The 2020 Democratic Primary just got a little bit whiter, and a little bit less diverse.
Following his complaints about being excluded from the 'all white' Iowa debate stage, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker is reportedly preparing to drop out of the race, NBC News reports.
Booker broke the news in an email to supporters, where he said he would "carry this fight forward - I just won’t be doing it as a candidate for president this year."
Here's what he said, according to NBC:
"Nearly one year ago, I got in the race for president because I believed to my core that the answer to the common pain Americans are feeling right now, the answer to Donald Trump’s hatred and division, is to reignite our spirit of common purpose to take on our biggest challenges and build a more just and fair country for everyone," he said in an email to supporters obtained by NBC News. "I’ve always believed that. I still believe that. I’m proud I never compromised my faith in these principles during this campaign to score political points or tear down others."
"And maybe I’m stubborn, but I’ll never abandon my faith in what we can accomplish when we join together," he continued. "I will carry this fight forward - I just won’t be doing it as a candidate for president this year. Friend, it’s with a full heart that I share this news - I’ve made the decision to suspend my campaign for president."

You can't say ol' Corey's not brave,
But it still ain't no way to behave,
Adopting so loudly
That namesake -- and proudly:
Dead white European male slave?!?
Kerry would have us believe that the JCPOA contained rather than enabled Iran. In response to this ludicrous and reckless contention, I must become a whistleblower. I know for a fact that the Obama admin sent letters - plural - directly to Soleimani. https://t.co/yY3NPCZ7Q6

That opinion from Kerry that "Trump has destroyed..." makes me laugh. It's like Mondale complaining Reagan had upset the balance of power with the Soviets.
Sometimes buying time is the right thing to do but don't confuse the buying time for the end game.

Declassification of correspondence between Obama and Kerry with Iran's Khamenei & Rouhani and recently demised Soleimani would be very interesting and revealing indeed.
Perhaps Trump should make this a condition for any negotiations since our previous admins' DOS seems to have been compromised.
