The speaker giveth, and the speaker taketh away.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has reclaimed office space her predecessor, Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., awarded to Vice President Mike Pence.

Republicans gave Pence, a former House member, a first floor bonus office in the U.S. Capitol shortly after President Trump was inaugurated in 2017.

The vice president rarely used the space, but it was a symbolic gesture of the warm relationship Pence enjoyed with Ryan and the House GOP. The vice president serves as the president of the U.S. Senate and historically has been provided an office in the Senate side of the Capitol, which is where Pence more regularly holds court when he visits Congress.

1. This makes me smile

[malaise]

2. Good now disinfect it with vinegar

[fleur-de-lisa]

5. And throw in a good sage smudging to cleanse the space from evil spirits.

[niyad]

57. I would also sprinkle salt, after brooming it.

[47of74]

73. then have a terminal cleaning on the space like they do in operating rooms.

[niyad]

74. that, or the napalm.

[2naSalit]

77. LOL!

[calimary]

82. Don't forget the exorcist.

[47of74]

92. Oh yeah, good point.

[diva77]

6. Why vinegar?

[malaise]

7. Because it's the least harmful cleanser on the planet

[diva77]

9. Thanks for educating me!

[malaise]

14. One of our good friends had a young child with horrific asthma

An old relative told us to tell them to start cleaning with vinegar and cut out commercial cleaners - the change was amazing.
By the way vinegar is great for getting rid of ants.

[Vdizzle]

22. I second this!

I always use vinegar to clean with. 1/2 water 1/2 white vinegar with a couple drops of essential oil (tea tree, peppermint, etc...) makes an amazing counter and appliance cleaner! A cup of vinegar in with your laundry is great too!

[malaise]

24. A lady from Colombia taught us about the laundry part

Works for real.

[niyad]

58. I alternate vinegar and baking soda in the laundry. one time vinegar, the next baking soda.

[malaise]

61. Both work really well

and both are cheap

[niyad]

64. so very, very true.

[volstork]

86. Instead of detergent?

Or in addition to?

[malaise]

87. instead of or with

108. My mother used to

final rinse her hair with vinegar. She said to took care of any soap residue.

[True Blue American]

33. Vinegar is good for everything.

I have a procuct called GreenClean that is a miracle in the kitchen.

[Jane Austin]

62. Better for your dogs

and cats, too.

[niyad]

56. vinegar and baking soda are basically all the cleaners you need, singly or in combination.

you can google all the many uses for both.

easy drain cleaner--pour baking soda down drain, then vinegar.

a box of baking soda in refrigerator to absorb odors.

baking soda and vinegar as cleanser for stove tops and pan bottoms.

etc., etc., etc.

I am seriously allergic to many chemical cleansers, have been using these two for decades (and MUCH cheaper, too!!)

[Honeycombe8]

20. Yes! My house is much more environmentally friendly since I switched to vinegar!

I buy tons of the stuff and use it for so many things. It works great. Pour it down sinks, clean pollen off the house column in front, soak dishrags in it to soften my hard water, wipe down countertops, pour it into toilets. It even kills weeds (so don't start dumping it in the yard unless you want to kill the grass). It's safe for septic tanks, too.

[malaise]

23. It's a great disinfectant and an excellent

clothes softener - we heat it and then pour it down the sink. It's all we use for countertops - and damn it's cheap

[Honeycombe8]

29. Yes, it's very (ahem) economical.

[malaise]

30. Love it

[Poiuyt]

72. It's economical because you can use it on everything

[Honeycombe8]

85. LOL! Hey, I just learned a new use for it. Thanks!!! nt

[malaise]

96. Wow - I learn something new on DU every day

It would take a Pelosi thread to be discussing matters cleaning

[kag]

93. It also makes

a great salad dressing!

[malaise]

97. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[woodsprite]

101. Can't do *THAT* with Forumula 409! nt

[Mr.Bill]

41. Also a good spot weed killer

that won't harm your pets.

[malaise]

45. Yep

Vinegar is one of those essentials of life.

[lunatica]

48. If you try using it and newspaper to clean windows you'll know why

It works great and is completely natural.

[niyad]

59. if you have a dishwasher--run a cup of vinegar through a full cycle about once a month.

same with your coffee maker.

[mercuryblues]

80. We have well water

I keep vinegar in a clear, plastic mustard container next to my kitchen sink. When I start the dishwasher I give a little squirt into it. The end result is amazing.

[lastlib]

8. How do you get rid of the stench of sulfur??

Better use napalm in there to get it good......

[malaise]

10. Vinegar, baking soda

or both

[lastlib]

16. I think I'll still go with the napalm.........

Ya gonna hafta BURN that rot out of there......IMHO

[malaise]

18. Hehehehehehe

[Ilsa]

43. Burn some sage, sprinkle holy water.

Actually, flood the place with holy water, just to be sure.

[panader0]

51. My dad, a lapsed Catholic, attended a service for some reason

later in his life. He told me that the priest said the way to make holy water
was to use regular water and "boil the hell out of it."

[deminks]

11. Maybe hang a couple of garlic bulbs as well.

17. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[mountain grammy]

13. Gallons and gallons

36. Are you kidding? Hold an orgy in there!

Then tell Pence all about it afterward so he goes scurrying off to Mother in horror.

[malaise]

38. Hahahahahha

You folks are killing me with laughter

[niyad]

60. you nearly owed me a keyboard!!!

[machoneman]

40. Sorry, only a flamethrower and and an exorcism could make it useable again!

No kidding!

[cstanleytech]

91. More like a bottle of napalm.

[Sherman A1]

3. Good

He doesn't need it and I am sure the space can be better used in another function.

[True Blue American]

34. For all those new, active Democrats!:)

[Mr.Bill]

44. Hookah lounge would be good.

Recreational weed is legal in DC.

[geardaddy]

4. Womp womp

[Turbineguy]

106. Did she leave the

red stapler?

[mountain grammy]

12. Can't say it enough. Thanks Nancy!

at one of those spas. I can't wait for this scandal to break wide open.

[mountain grammy]

37. Oh yes please..with video and audio.

[Ramsey Barner]

[Yavin4]

31. Nancy to Pence: "We're going to have to go ahead and move you down to Storage B."

[fleur-de-lisa]

32. LOL!

[malaise]

42. One of my favorite movies of all time

Two of my nephews and I would watch it over and over - howling with laughter.

[mr_lebowski]

47. Gonna need you to grab some insecticide, too, bit of a roach problem down there (nt)

[lunatica]

50. LOL!

[smirkymonkey]

67. One of my all time favorite movies!

LOL! I would love to see Pence re-located to a dark, cramped, basement room with just a hanging light bulb and rats. Maybe Eric Trump would even stop by to pay him a visit!

[Blue Owl]

78. Gonna have to take your red MAGA stapler, there... OK...

n/t

[ck4829]

100. LOL

[underpants]

102. Mmmmm yeah... tell ya what....that's hilarious

[mulsh]

35. Great. I wonder about other offices and hidey holes being reassigned in this new congress.

n/t

[KY_EnviroGuy]

39. Just make the asshole work out of his car.

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

[niyad]

63. this was merely a bonus office. his actual office is in the People's House.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

70. Yes, but I want his arse ran out of there too!

Right along with his boss.

All the way back to the corn fields of Indiana............

[Ramsey Barner]

46. "Reclaiming my space!"

From "reclaiming my time" to "reclaiming my space" -- Dems are moving in the right direction!

[NNadir]

53. Subject to revision.

We may face prison overcrowding issues if all of the people who have engaged in criminal acts in the Trump administration are tried, convicted and sent to prison, a temporary cell in the House may fit the bill.

Pence is almost certain to be as dirty as the rest of them.

[ehrnst]

54. Yet another dick punch to the Administration...

[ProudLib72]

55. Poor old Homeless Mike

[yaesu]

65. This just in, Pence's new House office

[dalton99a]

90. +1

[Faux pas]

66. All they want is

EVERYTHING.

[Pepsidog]

68. Haha!

[Fritz Walter]

69. Speaker Pelosi should put Hillary Clinton's name on the door

And mount a wifi camera above it.

Just to watch RepubliCONs' heads explode.

[Initech]

71. OK, Mike, I'm going to have to ask you to go ahead and move your desk to sub basement B....

So if you could go ahead and do that, that'd be great. K thanks!!!

[EveHammond13]

75. #MikeDense

[Croney]

76. Ryan, welcome to your new office.

[underpants]

104. Oh!

[SergeStorms]

79. Man, I love this woman!

Go get 'em Nancy! Pence can go hide in the Senate chambers if he wants to, but not in our House!

[red dog 1]

81. This cheers me up!

K&R

[Cha]

83. Nancy knows what she's Doing!

[dlk]

84. Let's Hope This is Just the Beginning of Republican Evictions

[Mr.Bill]

88. Maybe Pelosi knows something we don't.

Like Pence won't be needing that office any more.

[Stinky The Clown]

89. Time for an exorcism.

[California_Republic]

94. And some Pine-Sol

[woodsprite]

103. Definitely a sweep for Russian (or other) bugs! nt

[spanone]

95. K&R...

[bottomofthehill]

98. Indont believe the Republicans gave VP Biden space on the

House side. The BPbis a senate office holder, that is where his office blocking’s. There is no reason for him to have House space.

[ck4829]

99. K&R
