Sources say she was playing tic tac toe just before falling down a flight of marble steps.

        I can get on board with horrible but the world will be a better place once she's no longer in it

          You can cram a lot of suffering into a small amount of time so it doesn't take long. It's kinda like a Dirac delta function.

          There's no world where the party replaces her until she's in the ground though, we saw that with Feinstein. So the longer she's laid up and suffering, the longer no one is using that office to do evil I guess?

            i'm sure her staffers are keeping the evil going as scheduled, there's no way they don't do most of the day-to-day evil while she's getting increasingly senile good-morning. a new ass in that seat wouldn't have access to the decades of connections and processes she's set up, thy would have to start building their own orphan-crushing machine from scratch and that takes time

      Stairs are unfortunately non ideological and fuck up lots of older people who aren't evil too. We could genuinely do with less stairs, accessibility is of course one thing but injuries are another. Stairs aren't an uncommon cause for people not being able to use stairs again. I've taken some bad spills before on stairs that would have for sure killed or paralyzed me if I were older.

        Class war is not without its collateral damage. The ruling class are mostly boomers, vulnerable to the traps laid by comrade stairs. Once the revolution is won, we shall honor the martyrs and celebrate their great sacrifice.

    Who the fuck plays tic tac toe? If 2 adults are playing and not getting a draw each time they are not skilled enough tactician to lead anything let alone a country. Anyway, hope the fall kills her.

    Ms. Pelosi was traveling with colleagues in both the House and the Senate to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.

    She's older than the fucking battle. She's 84.

    Ouch, McConnell just did too. Downsides of these truly geriatric cats paws for donors is they can just fall over and be out of commission

            It's from a fable~

            The fable of the monkey and the cat, they're at a fire place roasting chest nuts. The monkey convinces the cat to snatch out the chest nuts so they can eat em. But the monkey just eats each one as the cat gets it out - the cat just gets burnt paws
