Funny!

Here it is for others:

WASHINGTON—Admitting she had worries about the rise of left-leaning activist groups within her party, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed concerns Thursday that outspoken progressives could do permanent damage to Democrats’ reputation as ineffectual cowards. “They mean well, but if they continue to aggressively push their agenda like this, they run the risk of fundamentally altering the public’s perception of Democrats as bumbling, feckless chumps,” said Pelosi, adding that this brash brand of politics could be easily manipulated by Republicans to paint the party as something other than a bunch of sniveling wimps who are too weak-willed and complacent to stand up for anything with even remote political risk. “I understand where these groups are coming from, but while it might feel good to vent their frustrations about the state of the country, they could undermine what I believe should be our core 2020 argument: We are dithering, incompetent doormats who are infinitesimally less objectionable than our opposition.” Pelosi also noted that her concerns shouldn’t be overstated, as she knew it would take more than a few activists for voters to associate the Democratic party with the vaguest inkling of courage.

It sounds reasonable but if Pelosi said it then it's probably a lie.

Pelosi had a nice rack, back in the day...she still knows her way around the House...that's why cons hate her...

the Dem debate illustrated the cluster that the Party has become, yet she seems to be able to unify them in the House at key junctures for key votes...

if you are a conservative and posted joy about this "news story" then you have been played.
It's The Onion...not Fox!

The Onion is becoming reality more and more every day.

Did you know that three year olds are proclaiming their transgender identities,
and parents are fully supporting it?

seems peeps no longer get political satire...

some, however, pull the satire card when called out for saying something outrageous...

Trump is a master satirist, but doesn't play that card...
