Day 5 post insurrection: Speaker Pelosi is the de facto potus. It's undeniable.

Have we heard anything real or useful or reassuring from DT or Pense?

No. They're in hiding, and it's obvious to the world why: They can't find any good way to navigate through their collaboration with domestic terrorists. They manufactured this insurrection. Both sides hate them now.

Luckily, our constitution places Speaker Pelosi in the line of succession, and luckily, she's completely up to the task. She is the leader we look to for sanity, knowledge, experience, connections, responsibility, and trustworthiness.

We must always remember that although she will not officially hold the office, she will never appear on the list of presidents, the world looked to Speaker Pelosi in our dire time of need: The crashing and burning of a fraudulent administration.

1. We are so lucky to have her as speaker right now.

2. Yes, and have her for the last 2 years. Very subtle perceptions needed to appreciate

all she has done to trump, despite 'cons holding WH and crafty Senate.

7. Once we get past current wars, she will be remembered as one of the greatest speakers

10. How many Speakers can be credited as the leader in saving the country,

setting up trump, getting the Dem House in 2018, doing important primary work this year, and now beating down the lame duck trump.

3. Agree!

4. No, Trump is POTUS. Pelosi did not stage a coup and there is no "de facto."

He's the executive. She's in the legislative branch.

5. removed ASAP. n/t

[FreepFryer]

6. +1 rule of law yo

8. Never heard the Clinton impeachment called a coup. The GOP was very righteous about doing that

9. I hadn't thought of that, but you're right

I'm so glad she's at the helm.

When this is all over, I hope she gets a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Or maybe they should retire those now that Trump has sullied them, and create a new award to give out moving forward.

Either way, she deserves all the awards we can come up with and more.
