#3 On a more serious note...

I have found the conduct of Nancy Pelosi reprehensible for many years. The usual corruption between her and her husband is only a mild irritation -- it is her arrogance. Nancy Pelosi wants America remade into a parliamentary democracy and she will preside as Prime Minister For Life™.

Arrogance personified in her attempts to usurp the foreign affairs authority of the Executive Branch. I remember her attempts to scuttle any relationship with al-Maliki and the the Iraqi government (corrupt and repulsive as he may be) in the period around the 2006 midterms. Today she wants to insert herself as THE Power Broker™ in Pacific Politics, perhaps for the corrupt money, but certainly because of Vanity. (At this point I feel no charitable impulse that her motives are for her duties as a elected US Representative under the US Constitution she swore to uphold.)

Invoke the Logan Act and impeach this harpy... (/rant)

#4 ^ This is the downside of "years of experience in gummint." Term limits are the only answer.

#5 I was kinda hoping the pilot and crew would do right by America and jump, while she's drinking her Chianti up there.

〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕美國眾議院議長裴洛西（Nancy Pelosi）展開亞洲行，官方公布的行程暫未列入受到國際關注的台灣。不過《法國國際廣播電台》今天（31日）表示，裴洛西有可能會在8月4日到訪台灣，之後前往日本。

根據《法廣》報導，裴洛西率團訪問亞洲，目的地包括馬來西亞、新加坡、日本、韓國，台灣未列入官方行程中，裴洛西本來也沒有透露相關計畫，指稱此行是為向亞洲盟友展現美國強力支持。

不過《法廣》引述知情人士消息稱，裴洛西將於本週四經菲律賓克拉克美國空軍基地（Clark Air Base）飛抵台灣，並於台北會見總統蔡英文。接著5日下午，裴洛西的座機將降落在日本東京橫田飛行場（Yokota Air Base），計畫與日相岸田文雄會面。

#7 Google Translate:
[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi started a trip to Asia. The official itinerary has not yet included Taiwan, which has attracted international attention. However, "France Internationale" said today (31st) that Pelosi may visit Taiwan on August 4 and then go to Japan.

According to the "French Broadcasting Corporation" report, Pelosi led a delegation to visit Asia, destinations including Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan was not included in the official itinerary. Show Asian allies strong U.S. support.

However, the "French Broadcasting Corporation" quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Pelosi will fly to Taiwan via Clark Air Base in the Philippines on Thursday and meet with President Tsai Ing-wen in Taipei. Then on the afternoon of the 5th, Pelosi's plane will land at the Yokota Air Base in Tokyo, Japan, where he plans to meet with Fumio Kishida.

#8 If China knocks her plane down I am sure they will make it look like the Russians did it.

#9 As much as I admire the might of the Ronald Reagan, it will need backup. 3 Carrier battle Groups for starters, will be impressive enough to cause the Chicoms to 2nd guess themselves! Shore up Guam, loiter a few B2s and be prepared to meet the 100 fighters Beijing will try to swarm The Speaker's plane with. My gut tells me she will back down if a bipartisan representation of the Congress do not accompany her.

#11 Show Asian allies strong U.S. support.

Eh... I'm not an International Diplomat, nor stayed in a Holiday Inn last night. But sending the ~~Drunk~~ current Speaker of the House is probably not the best wat to show strong support. Probably the opposite.

#14 Who, indeed! Once the knives come out, we might end up with the Postmaster General as President.
