House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) spoke briefly about her morning meeting with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) Friday, calling the freshman congreswoman “gracious” and comparing their disagreements to “differences” within a “family.”
This is how this stuff should be handled. I want to personally thank Donald J. Trump for uttering in public one of the most racist statements ever uttered by a public official in US history over the last 40 years or so. It snapped the Dems into alignment.
The Quinnipiac poll [correction: FOX poll] showing Trump underwater on immigration and massively underwater on the question of whether his comments crossed a line also probably made it easier for Pelosi to make peace. The Squad is helping to reframe the election around things that make Trump unpopular. That makes life easier for moderates. I know Pelosi is protective of her ‘majority makers’ but she also ought to be telling them how the risks the Squad are willing to take actually helps them.
What? No ‘cat fight’ between these two prominent women? What will the press write about then?
Pelosi knows how to make an offer…
Nancy Pelosi is gracious, too.
The alternative was to work it all out in a bar in Wasilla, AK.
Those were simpler times…
“I again referenced Ronald Reagan as opposed to the…current occupant of the White House” (From clip)
Snort…
"Let me tell you something!!!:
JOHNNY FONTAINE DOESN’T GET THAT MOVIE!!!
"But we sure as hell should open up an Impeachment Inquiry on Trump.
Right, Tom?"
OK…anytime you want to run the colliding trains is fine with me…
"…comparing their disagreements to “differences” within a “family.”
Little known fact: Nancy Pelosi threw her twin sister off a cliff when they were nine.
Exactly. It’s been a made scenario and the stuff of wet dreams.
“made up”
I am sure the press is just pissed. Nothing like a high profile cat fight to sell soap.
In this case we have two strong women with very similar agendas and a lot of common ground. I give both high marks for the meeting.
If this was Paul RAyn talking to his Freedumb Caucus about anything difficult or contentious, the media would never report on RAyn in the way they have Speaker Pelosi and these four women. I’m starting to see so much misogyny in how these women are often portrayed and seemingly pitted against each other in the press, when I seriously find so much of it overblown and based on a lot of ridiculous stereotypes over how women work together to solve problems. Yes they disagree on some things. Its how its characterized that tends to bother me most of the time. They aren’t always in competition with each other. Sometimes collaboration takes time to achieve. It also takes more effort and more work, which is how women often go about solving problems. Disagreeing with one another isn’t a sign of disrespect like its often being pushed in the media.

Link? (Not doubting you, would just like to see it)
Just differences within a family. “Okay Alex, now that we’ve had our little talk, come over here and give your Great Aunt Nancy a big kiss.”
OMIGOD…this is how ADULTS act? Wow…just like at REAL work…amazing.
