Nancy Pelosi - what a woman!

[KentuckyWoman]

She's a year older than I am and can still walk just as fast in heels on cobble stones as the young men walking with her. Talking with Zelensky you can see how fast her mind is moving. She's on point - always. Even rocking that "Ukraine" blue suit.

That woman means business. Cross her, or do someone an injustice and she'll bury a heel in your keester. Play fair be kind and do unto others and she'll stick up for you until her last day.

One of the people at the top of my admire list. She's an example to young and old alike.

Thank you Madam Speaker.

1. Pootin must take this as an affront, esp from a woman!

[KentuckyWoman]

3. She could probably put Pootie in the floor

bust his ribs with a swift kick of her heels and not even get a hair out of place doing it. And if his ribs smudged her shoes she'd kick him again for good measure.

Total badass move all the way around. The Biden Admin was smart to hand her this one.

[SheltieLover]

4. Absolutely!

[BlueGreenLady]

2. Plus she's thumbing her nose to Putin

by having the nerve to enter into a war torn country and stand with Zelensky. She's my hero!

[SheltieLover]

6. Absolutely!

We all know how toxic males detest strong, brave, competent women.

He must be fuming.

[Novara]

15. Nancy being Nancy makes them feel small

That's why they hate her. She's powerful, smart, courageous, clever as hell, and confident. They hate women who are everything they are not.

[summer_in_TX]

19. One other quality makes these guys feel small .

Her moral compass.

[Novara]

20. Yep. She is a better human being than they are in ALL aspects.

[KentuckyWoman]

30. That tends to be a general "progressive" vs "conservative" trait.

Progressives tend to use power to do something good in the world. It's all about someone else who needs. (Government big enough for everyone)

Conservatives tend to use power to enrich themselves, and perhaps immediate family and other benefactors. (Government so small it's only for me)

Speaker Pelosi has spent a lifetime serving others and she's done it with the strongest of wills, style, grace, and a host of other amazing traits. She gets around better than me. She thinks faster than me. And lord knows she suffers fools FAR better than me. I long ago lost any ability to be patient and let the idiots submarine themselves.

33. +1

× 1,000,000!

[summer_in_TX]

45. Kick!

[SheltieLover]

41. Definately!

[SheltieLover]

40. Absolutely!

[wnylib]

26. She had 4 years of practice

n the US before dealing with Putin. Sharpened her heels on TFG.

[SheltieLover]

42. Yup!

[llmart]

39. That's the same reason Putin intervened to get tfg elected.

He was scared to death that Hillary would be elected. He had some idea of how she'd put him in his place from her years as Secretary of State.

These small, insecure, so-called manly men are afraid to death of smart, strong women.

[SheltieLover]

43. Absolutely!

[Diamond_Dog]

5. She is a national treasure.

[SheltieLover]

7. She sure is!

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Well said! She continues to step up and is as impressive as it gets...

I cannot imagine where we would be without her...

[Srkdqltr]

9. Angelina Jolie and Nancy Pelosi in Ukraine at the same time?

I'm not sure what that means exactly but Russa is in trouble.

[niyad]

10. KNR for Madam Speaker!

[Hekate]

11. Mme Speaker -- high up in my pantheon of Most Admired Women Ever

[smirkymonkey]

32. +1000

I adore her! I have so much admiration for her. Remember, when she started out, women did not have many rights at all. She's seen it all and hung in tough.

21. Princess Olga is Olga of Kiev.

If you don't know who she is, look it up. Talk about badass. Awarding Speaker Pelosi the Order of Princess Olga is fitting in more ways than one.

[pazzyanne]

28. The Order of Princess Olga award seems appropriate for our Speaker of the House! nt

[Joinfortmill]

13. Amazing

[calimary]

14. Reminds me of what they said about the Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers pairing

that she did everything he did - but SHE did it backwards and in high heels.

[FailureToCommunicate]

16. Yes! AND the Speaker had no flak jacket!

(As far as I could tell)

[KentuckyWoman]

31. Ann Richards ...

Every time I hear that I think of her. I don't think she wrote it but she used it so perfectly. She was really something ...

[cilla4progress]

44. Exactly,

calimary!!

[getagrip_already]

17. Let's not forget the bravery and risk the entire delegation took.....

We have a 5 vote majority in the house and we sent 7 reps into a war zone.

If things went sideways, control of the house could be at risk.

Safe seats? Hardly in a non incumbent election. McGovern (my rep) won his seat from a republican. His district is not deep blue. It almost went for trump.

In an open seat election, it might go red. Weird district, they had to throw in parts of western mass near Rachel Maddow home to balance it.

This was not a junket to cancun.

[NJCher]

35. I'd like to see

Gaetz, Taylor Green, and Boebert get a junket going to Russia.

[ShazamIam]

18. Exactly! Great photo of her going around, walking unaided up steps in high heels and the blue suit.

[dlk]

22. Madam Speaker is one of my heroes

She’s the best!

[oasis]

23. ImWith Her!

[mcar]

24. In Ukraine, with the heels

Amazing!

[iluvtennis]

36. Indeed. n/t

[zebrastripe]

25. A Woman, a Wife, a Mother and a Grandmother

Not only is Pelosi a powerful, smart, courageous, clever, and confident Woman,but she is also a loving Mother and Grandmother.

[uponit7771]

27. K&R,

[LittleGirl]

29. I have grown to admire Pelosi

so much over the past 10 years. I have a sister that hates her to her core and calls her the c word.
I just shake my head at my sister and wonder why she hates her so much but then I realize that Pelosi has been demonized by the right for decades. I think she's one of the best Politicians in our century.

[Generic Other]

37. You are so right

GOP hatred of Democratic women is disgusting, calculated, ongoing. They cut their teeth on hatred of anyone different than them. Mean spirited, narrow minded. PATHETICALLY SAD.

[LittleGirl]

38. Perfect description, eom

[NJCher]

34. I noted that, too

I would have worn sneakers, even if I was the most powerful woman in America.

[Deep State Witch]

46. There's a Reason Why She Got the Order of St. Olha

There's probably a good reason why Zelenskyy gave her the "Order of Saint Olha" award. Saint Olha was a badass warrior queen who destroyed her enemies.

47. Nancy Pelosi - I second this

After watching her in Ukraine and with Zelensky, I am further in awe of this incredibly intelligent, strong and "more than just Speaker of the House" woman. We all watched her knock the socks off Zelensky and the rest of the world. My admiration for her has not been misplaced. I'm grateful she stands with the United States
