at a Washington restaurant Friday night, the staff cheered and applauded Nancy Pelosi

[Demovictory9]

As she left her table at a Washington restaurant Friday night, the staff cheered and applauded Nancy Pelosi. What a week she had had. Said a waitress in near tears,"We need someone who will fight for us." The Speaker carried a small white paper bag, I know not what was in it.

1. The White Bag?

I'm guessing she kept The Orange One's balls for the next three weeks until the government is truly open. Note: "a SMALL white paper bag".

[FirstLight]

6. lol

I was thinking some take-out from the restaurant, but I like yours better!

[monmouth4]

10. I was going to say cannolis but agree with you...LOL. n/t

[calimary]

16. Don't forget the cannoli.

34. Hahahaha! What was that line from "The Godfather?"

"Leave the b__ls, take the canoli."

[calimary]

35. Found it!

[volstork]

8. My thought exactly!

[LiberalLovinLug]

9. LOL

[yuiyoshida]

29. maybe it was

CAKE! (YUM!)

[leftieNanner]

31. Speaker Pelosi is a petite woman

And I'm sure she eats small portions of food at her meals. Therefore, I'm reasonably sure that it was a doggie bag holding the balance of her dinner that she didn't finish.

Or maybe it was cake!!

[yuiyoshida]

32. She deserves cake!

The owner probably slipped her some cake for doing a great job!

[NastyRiffraff]

45. Or she's one of those people I hate

who can eat whatever she wants and never gain weight. I can't hate Nancy, though. I hope she enjoys all the fattening food she can eat.

[bitterross]

42. LOL. Tiny meatballs served with mushroom.

Okay, I almost puked has I typed that.

[cstanleytech]

46. Well if it was his balls she probably would be well advised to have microscope nearby if she decides

to display them as they are tiny like his hands.

[True Blue American]

47. I wondered how long

It would be before I read that! w

[Hekate]

2. Wonderful. Hillary is likewise welcome in public places. Dem Women are great women!

[peggysue2]

3. Nancy Pelosi deserves the applause

She's been badly underestimated by the Trumspter crowd; they thought they could roll her. Only a few short weeks ago she was disparaged by members of her own party and the press: unpopular, too old, merely hanging on for a power grab. She knew she was the best person for the Speaker's position and now everyone else should know: Nancy Pelosi holds the line. She read the Trumpster accurately and held that line for her party and the country. So, . . .



Madame Speaker. You showed the world how it's done.

[EffieBlack]

17. It wasn't only the Trumpster crowd that underestimated her

[peggysue2]

37. Oh, you're so right, Effie

As I said--members of her own party and the press disparaged her endlessly. The whole 'new faces/fresh blood' arguments circled 'round and 'round right here at DU. The same sort of dumping went on in the press.

Do Dems really want to install Nancy Pelosi as Speaker when she's so-o-o unpopular? they queried. Will they risk dampening their November victory?

Never a mention that those 'unpopular' polls were affected by the GOP's constant demonizing (cue up a HRC soundtrack). More seasoned Republicans always knew who Nancy Pelosi was and the power she could wield. They put her front and center during the midterms, the evil liberal from San Francisco. As for the Trumpster and his acolytes? They think any and every woman can be dominated. They were wrong, bigly.

The Democratic Party? Fortunately level heads prevailed. Because no one in their right mind would deliberately choose a medical student to perform heart surgery, anymore that put a raw recruit on the battlefield then name him/her General.

Once upon a time, Nancy Pelosi was underestimated. I suspect that won't happen again.

[Baltimike]

41. amen. nt

[kimbutgar]

4. Since 2011 she has been listening and watching the repukes little dirty tricks and now

She knows how to defeat them at their game. She has been studying the rules of the house and knows how to get what she wants. The orange maggot is going to have a nervous breakdown that he can't intimidate her.

[MaryMagdaline]

5. Happy for all the acknowledgement to Nancy Pelosi

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Oh that will leave a mark,

right smack dab on Donnies Ego. When he sees this story,watch for a mega stupid tweet.

[lunatica]

11. His staff will keep it out of sight

If it isn’t on Fox News it doesn’t exist.

That’s why he doesn’t appear to know anything. ‘Cause he is literally ignorant of what people think of him.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Some one on his Twitter feed will tag this story.

[lunatica]

13. I'm also a retired Teamster

I just noticed you tag line.

[Wellstone ruled]

15. And damn proud of it my friend.

We did make a difference didn't we. Wished my kids would be so lucky to have a job that would pay all the bills,own a House or two,and take a well earned Vacation every year. And make sure the Grandkids did not have to be debt burden over Education.

[lunatica]

18. Absolutely they made a difference!

I worked in UC Berkeley and while the university gave everyone else a one time 2% raise the Teamsters negotiated a 5 year 19% raise for the staff. Our supervisors and managers truly envied us. With good reason. Then when the first 5 year contract was up they negotiated another 5 year contract! They rock!

[Wellstone ruled]

24. Still have a frost bite scare on my face from

walking a picket line in January in Minnesota in order to organize and represent a Major Wholesaler . And that caused every Employer in that Red County to raise all their wages for fear of losing their workers . BTW,many lost their workers due to expansion of that wholesaler.

Sat across the table from several Employer Legal Reps during Contract talks. Heard every name imaginable used to describe our Membership. We won every contract with the facts and the number do not lie,unless the employer was cooking the books,which by the way happened with our last Ownership Syndicate. But we did prevail.

[lunatica]

27. You rock!

Thanks for your involvement!

[True Blue American]

48. As one

Who was often involved in strikes I can only say Thank you.

I refuse to walk across a picket line, in LV where Hotel workers were on strike, grocery stores.

I also voluntarily pay Union dues. Always will.

[Wellstone ruled]

54. We only visit Union Casino's

and have learned which Joints are working on organizing campaign's. Will never enter those establishments.

Here in the Valley,the SEIU and Culinary Workers are the two largest Unions and then it is the Laborers Union. The Teamsters are near the top,they run most of the Food Service Delliveries as well as most of the Trash Hauling.

Fun to have watched the Politics of Nevada swing 180 degrees in five years. My prediction is we will be called California East before long.

[ck4829]

50. Hope so

[watoos]

14. Nancy Pelosi was always going to be the Speaker.

People have to beware, the M$M is not our friend. It blew the (controversy) blip out of proportion that there was a revolt against Pelosi. The right wing M$M has smeared Speaker Pelosi for a decade or longer. The reason they smeared her was because she was one of the best Speakers ever. The reason they smeared her was because she was good at her job. The reason they smeared her was because she is one of the few people on the left who can change the right wing narrative. Al Franken also was one of those people who could change the narrative.

When the M$M attacks you it is because the right fears you.

Ask anyone from the right why they hate Pelosi, why she is so bad. I guarantee you that they won't be able to give one reason.

[reACTIONary]

20. Is WaPo M$M?

Democracy Dies in Darkness

[lunatica]

22. Which is why I'm delighted she's using Twitter now

She can now go directly to the people on her own terms!

That’s the one thing brought that has turned out to be a useful tool. People don’t have to be subjected to sound bites chosen by the networks, or ignored or taken out of context.

I marvel at the fact that our leaders can come directly to us. Not everyone gets it, but that ability changes the power dynamics completely.

And the fact that even journalists can use it to publish their opinions and not just their stories is further proof that we’re stepping into a whole other reality.

[Fritz Walter]

19. Contrast with Yertle McTurtle's recent dining experience

Karma can be really sweet sometimes!

[NJCher]

23. I was just about to make that point

And it's not just McTurtle. There have been at least four or five incidents where republicans have gotten run out of restaurants.

People chase off republicans from restaurants. Applaud a Democrat. Hmmm, now what does that say?

[BigmanPigman]

39. They got Mitch twice...once his wife had to go after

the people booing him, he didn't say a word. They also have nailed Neilson, Stephen Miller and Sarah Fuckubee in the past year. All of them deserve it and much worse. They shouldn't be allowed to show their faces in public...criminals belong in jail.

Pelosi and Hillary get standing ovations when ever they go out in public...what a contrast.

[IronLionZion]

30. I love that they blasted him with "Fight the power"

That turtle was the power holding up important things like the funding bills and Merrick Garland's appointment to the Supreme Court.

[Amaryllis]

43. WHp blasted him with it?

[IronLionZion]

52. protesters, but this would also be a good song for that:

[BlancheSplanchnik]

44. And that's from the Daily Caller, a down homey little reich wing rag.

Making Maxine Waters out to be the “bad guy” in the clip.

[Awsi Dooger]

21. No video?

Damn. I would like to post it on sports sites that are flooded with right wingers who despise Pelosi

[OMGWTF]

25. If the Muller report indicts both Trump and Pence, we're looking at "President Pelosi"

[yuiyoshida]

33. Wouldn't that be sweet?

It be great or Dems to be in control again!

[Baltimike]

26. I wanna know where she was. I'm close enough to celebrate there before the freeze this week. nt

[Takket]

28. people get what they deserve

Speaker Pelosi cheered, SHS tossed out on her deplorable ass

[dalton99a]

36. Kick

[DFW]

38. I know what was in the small white paper bag

It was the leftovers from Donald Trump's lunch.

[FakeNoose]

55. Or maybe something else

[KY_EnviroGuy]

40. What has to feel so good for Speaker Pelosi is...

that she was humbly and peacefully applauded spontaneously not by a group of her peers, or by a group of heads of state, but instead by a group of everyday people for which she's really doing her work!

.............. ............

[ck4829]

49. K&R

[machoneman]

51. It was Humble Pie! She's giving it to Trumpenstein! n/m

[Gothmog]

53. This makes me smile
