      Negative shit thrown at Pelosi in recent years:

      She got a haircut during COVID.

      She has a separate freezer for her ice cream.

      She profits greatly from stock trades.

      Two are non issues, and one is an issue that a great deal of congress members are guilty of.

      Knock it off.

      It’s petty, it reduces her accomplishments to a meme, and it ignores the true scale of the problem that neither party wants to stop.

      I agree it’s a problem but it isn’t solely a Pelosi issue. This is misogyny on full display. She isn’t the Speaker. She’s in the minority party and not even the minority leader.

        Shutting down legitimate criticism of leadership is MAGA type thinking. Knock THAT off. Pretending the politicians you support are flawless or deflecting valid grievances with whataboutisms is not how you hold your party accountable for its shortcomings.

          Fair. I didn’t, and acknowledged she is part of the problem, but I take that hit for the tone I took.

          And thanks for the civil reply, that was more civil than mine.
