Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday said the newly named interim speaker, GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina, has ordered her to vacate her office in the Capitol building.
She does maintain her regular office in the Cannon House office building.
An email sent from McHenry’s office to Pelosi’s office just after 6 p.m. Tuesday evening that was viewed by CNN, stated, “Going to reassign h-132 for speaker office use. Please vacate the space tomorrow.”
Pelosi said in a statement that she was not in Washington, DC, to immediately move her belongings.
A better headline would be what she said in response:
Dems have
showndemonstrated absurdly good communication skills, but somehow, it’s never reallyshowngiven proper attention. Like, seriously, just watch this clip show of young Dems destroying Republicans last week: https://youtu.be/v6VZIjBLcyU?si=H9TuL2aRF9PM0vpYDems are fucking fierce, man.
Edit: Reworded a sentence to make it more clear.
Because the media even left leaning sites seems to focus only on what the GOP says.
Shock value and controversy sell clicks/views/engagement. It’s all any media does anymore and it’s annoying as crap.
It’s why the news treats a man tripping on a sand bag with the same importance as someone trying to start world war III.
This is what happens when your incentive structure doesn’t reward actual proper journalism.
That’s because of 2 main factors: (1) They are almost all owned by large corporations - yes, even the “left learning ones” - and corporate ownership always imparts a right wing bias simply because the people in charge are wealthy and want to only get richer (it’s basic self-interest); and (2) Right-wingers “take the bait” faster and more widely, which translates to more views, more ad revenue, etc. (see #1).
“All corporations are inherently right wing… I mean, unless it’s like a worker cooperative run exclusively by sternum piercing bisexuals, but no, all corporations are inherently right wing at least in an economic sense.” -Hassan Piker (Turkish-American Twitch Steamer and Political Commentator)
Might as well have quoted my own asshole
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dems don’t have the same expansive network of propaganda machinery backing them up no matter what like Republicans do. Don’t get me wrong dems are still wholeheartedly a capitalist political party but they aren’t working the shaft and fondling the balls of the capitalist class nearly as much as the republican party is and it show in the ability to get messaging out.
Rep Jim McGovern has expressed some concerns about the validity of all this:
how would he know?
Man, I love professionals who know their stuff.
There’s no money in signal boosting democrats, even the more establishment ones. Wait for Manchen to say something self-serving about corporations, then you’ll hear about it.
“Dems have shown… …it’s never really shown”
What is this sentence trying to say?
Democrats have demonstrated… but it’s never in the mainstream media.
Thanks man, yeah, that’s what I wanted to express. I edited my comment accordingly.
Aight thanks mate
Ah sorry man, that’s a result of my limited vocabulary as an ESL. I meant to say that Dems have demonstrated great communication skills, but it does not receive adequate attention because those snippets are rarely broadcasted on TV, mentioned in articles or shared on social media.
It was pretty clear in the original. I think SaakoPaahtaa is more likely the one with ESL issues.
The edited version does flow better.
I mean homeboy kicked her like a bad habit in the first day, it’s not like it was weeks of a grueling ordeal. Dude straight up dgaf and I’m here for it. “Oh, that nuisance still has an office here? Gone. Next?” Man’s coming in hot like Ari Gold.
