TERM LIMITS, PLEASE.

Know that this presentation by Pelosi was given back in December 2021, so it's not news.  I found it on Twitter.  

Wikipedia states 

an American politician serving as speaker of the United States House of Representatives since 2019, and previously from 2007 to 2011. She has served as a U.S. representative from California since 1987. A member of the Democratic Party, Pelosi is the only woman to have served as speaker of the U.S. House.

Answers.com explains that

the Speaker's term runs concurrent with his or her term as Member of the House of Representatives. That's pretty close. To be specific, a member of the House serves for two years per term, without restriction on the number of terms they may serve. This means, that as long as the Speaker continues to be voted Speaker of the House, and remains a member of the House, their term limit is their life.

The problem may not stem from any cognitive decline of Nancy Pelosi but rather that she's using shorthand to relay to the press the Senatorial procedures.  Reporters should be asking her questions. So why isn't the press holding her accountable?  The press is biggest criminal conspirators the world over.  

The contours of the Democrats’ $1.75 trillion social spending bill hinge on an ornithological, Senate scrubbing. It’s referred to as the "Byrd Bath." This peculiar process dictates the scope of the "Build Back Better" bill. What’s in and what’s out. The very shape of the legislation.

For starters, note that it’s spelled "B-Y-R-D" and not "B-I-R-D." This Senate process has nothing to do with ablutions - but everything to do with parliamentary procedure. The bizarre, Senate folkway is named after late and legendary Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd, D-W.Va.

"He’s not just some guy. He's not just some senator. He was ‘Mr. Process.’ He was ‘Mr. Institution.’ He was ‘Mr. Soul and Integrity’ of the body," said former Senate Parliamentarian Alan Frumin. "You don’t mess with Byrd. He was, you know, the alpha and the omega of the Senate’s institutions."


DEBRA BIRX. COULD YOU IMAGINE?

Could you imagine being in charge of a nation's public health response to a purported pandemic, a response whose actions murdered tens of thousands of your citizens, and then as an explanation you tell that same country whose mothers, fathers, cousins, friends, and co-workers are grieving from unimaginable losses in health, mobility, vigor, production, wealth over a two-year period, confused and angry, trying to understand what happened and see if restitution is available and you hear the architect of that misery, of that 2.5-year debacle, tell you that she overplayed her decision?  That is what passes for an apology in government today?  That is what passes for restitution to grieving families, destroyed lives?  I mean if the reader here has an ounce left of moral convictions, you know that this has to be avenged.  You know.  You know, and I know.  And what is with the sports analogy of "overplayed"?  I love sports as much as anyone, and certainly, there are aspects of life that feel like a game and not so, not as serious, though people take the rules of a game very seriously.  But the suffering isn't just a sunk cost to families.  There has to be restitution.  Her deeds must be avenged.  Otherwise, her role and her seat of power are empty and illegitimate and should be dealt with as such.
