    She will be 81 this month, she needs to be put out to pasture.
    I'm not ageist but you need to draw the line somewhere.

    So she is 81, I don't see you calling for serving Republicans who are older then her to be "put out to pasture".

    If the electorate still have confidence in her, she should be able to keep doing her job.

    I think what people are saying is that so desperately trying to score points of a person like Trump is desperately sad. It's like bragging about beating the disabled kid in the egg and spoon race. Going with the established narrative isnt impressive.

    That's a crazy thing to say about someone who wants to become possibly the most powerful man in the world, despite making such a hames of the job first time around.

    It's nothing like criticising a disabled child FFS.

    Remind me of what happened when Trump shut down the country.

    Who schooled who exactly?

    Shutting it down as in placing covid restrictions is it and adhering to them ?

    It's not a great sign when your argument is reduced to sky news australia clips and the largely panned Spitting Image reboot... :P From the same guy who won't even discuss the fact that Pelosi isn't even the oldest serving politician and has his been elected constantly since 1987...

    Pure desperation. Hope Nancy keeps going until she's 100, watching the Trumpists get triggered by her is quite enjoyable :)

    So people shouldn't criticise because it is so blatantly easy to do it?

    I think that says more about Trump than the people criticising him.

    Not sure what you mean by virtue signalling in this respect, he made so many gaffes, said so many unnecessary things, made a fool of himself and the country that I can't see how criticising such a terrible job is seen a virtue signalling.

    I also think that the phrase virtue signalling is just a way to avoid having to deal with the actual issue. Its just another form of ad hominem attack

    But when the criticism boils down to " I think Trump is bad' and when it's said 9billion times it gets pretty grating. Yes we all know Donald Trump is a cretin with zero political skills and the social skills off a pike. Its like going on social media accounts/media and declaring "I think rapists are bad" and expecting an applause.

    And virtue signalling has become the social currency of recent years, if there was no social media or ways to pat yourself on the back how many people would actually care and put in real effort to support causes.
    Look at how many people clamoring over each other to get to the climate protests or post their support for gretta....yet how many people did you see out planting trees over last few months? Actually breaking a sweat or spending a bit of cash ? Much handier to virtue signal.

    Hey I don't like donald trump everyone like my post xx

    We I'm a Democrat and she's an embarrassment in my opinion.

    Criticise a woman who is doing her job and then finish it off with "I still would"...

    Are you having a laugh? This is the definition of ageism.

    "she will be 81 this month, she needs to be put out to pasture."

    Amazing the way that the Democrats can vote for the bill now after blocking it for political gain for the better part of a year.

    Would that not cut both ways?

    Why did no Republicans vote for the bill?
    Denying their people money.

    I got called creepy for saying the previous press secretary was easy on the eye, lots of posters thanked that comment from overheal, yet when i posted how biden went to ukraine and said the women are beautiful no such response to him being creepy, just pointing out the hypocrisy here.

    They have control of House and Senate and are doing their job because they can. What's with the childishness?
    We should just be thankful that the Republicans didn't have control of all the last four years.
    It's not making anybody look bad yet. When they are enacted they hopefully work out and the Democrats gain popularity from them.

    He said Ukrainian women are the most beautiful in the world, he didn't single out any specific woman.... It's not exactly comparable to what either you or the other poster said. Also, you're digging back 12 years and making this out to be a scandal. :pac: It's a pretty innocuous and innocent comment. Between this and the neanderthal complaints, you guys are coming across as easily annoyed...

    Jen Psaki already had lady g homophobic slur at Lindsay graham last year and now is mocking reporters questions after a few weeks, seems a real piece of work. No answer to the reporters questions of the over 1000 jobs lost on the keystone pipeline. He simply asked when they can expect green jobs and was mocked. At least Kayleigh was easy on the eye.

    Also the context of your post was pretty sexist and was more than simply "easy on the eye", that's not great to start with.

    congress, which was democrat controlled, did pass relief bills in the last 12 months.

    That's just politics, when Republicans are in the democrats block, when democrats are in the republicans block.

    Unfortunately the tribal element of politics is here to stay, no room for the moderates from both parties to come together

    His comment was innocuous i agree, as was mine, its the hypocrisy i was pointing out. The fact that you think its ok to praise a whole country of women as beautiful as being better then me pointing out an individual woman is attractive, i dont get. Both were harmless comments.

    Hypocrisy is a well known symptom of TDS.

    Well your context was to denigrate the appearance of the other... Also you seem to be leaping to defence of another poster who was just outright making pretty poor taste remarks about Pelosi.... That says more about you.
