Ann Coulter Rallies Around Nancy Pelosi as Democrats Abandon Her
Following the fourth consecutive special election loss for the Democrats, much of the party has been expressing their disapproval of Nancy Pelosi’s leadership — but Republicans, especially Ann Coulter, are rooting for her to stay.
Democrats were quick to turn on Pelosi after Jon Ossoff’s stunning defeat in Georgia, even after running the most expensive campaign for a House seat in history. The party has also lost special elections in Kansas, Montana, and South Carolina.
Congressman Seth Moulton immediately declared that perhaps it was time for “new leadership at the top,” also tweeting that the “Ossoff race better be a wakeup call for Democrats.”
#Ossof Race better be a wake up call for Democrats – business as usual isn't working. Time to stop rehashing 2016 and talk about the future.

Cher, one of the Democratic Party’s most vocal cheerleaders on Twitter also expressed her doubts about Pelosi’s ability to deliver.
“Admire & respect Nancy Pelosi, but in ‘every’ race, GOP runs against her,” Cher tweeted.
Others were less kind, including Rep. Filemon Vela — who asserted that only an “idiot” would believe that Democrats could win under Pelosi’s leadership.
“I think you’d have to be an idiot to think we could win the House with Pelosi at the top,” Vela told Politico. “Nancy Pelosi is not the only reason that Ossoff lost. But she certainly is one of the reasons.”
Even the ultra-liberal Daily Beast published a story directly pointing the finger at Pelosi. In an article titled ‘Wake Up, Democrats. Ossoff Didn’t Lose the Election, Pelosi Did,’ Matt Lewis wrote that many calls for her to retire may be “concern trolling.” He concluded his piece by stating, “just because it’s concern trolling, doesn’t mean it ain’t true.”
Meanwhile, Republicans want to keep the 77-year-old leading the party for as long as possible.
A report from the Washington Post found that Pelosi and her 98% name recognition did in fact hurt Ossoff. The paper found that “the most prominent and effective hit on the Democratic candidate was to tie him to the congresswoman from San Francisco.”
On Thursday, Coulter posted a hilarious string of tweets making the case for keeping Pelosi around as long as possible.
We, as conservatives, MUST keep Nancy Pelosi in place as Minority Leader of the House! We should have rallies for her.

“We, as conservatives, MUST keep Nancy Pelosi in place as Minority Leader of the House! We should have rallies for her,” Coulter began.
In Coulter’s next tweet, she wrote “we also need a gofundme campaign to ensure Nancy Pelosi’s longevity as House minority leader.”
She didn’t stop there though, Coulter continued on to assert that “it’s bad enough that we lost Harry Reid, we can’t lose Pelosi too!”
So what if she’s old, bitter and nasty? Nancy Pelosi is iconic!

Who is a better bridge to the future than Nancy Pelosi?

“It’s defeatist to think Nancy Pelosi’s leadership coming is coming to an end. BULLSH*T!!! She has another 20 good years!” Coulter declared.
Sure, Pelosi said we have to impeach “Bush,” when she meant “Trump.” She was in the ballpark!

“It’s not important that Pelosi remembers everything she says. Memory isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be,” Coulter added.
I am agnostic on whether congress passes a health care bill. But they MUST pass a bill protecting Nancy Pelosi's health.

To keep Pelosi going, she can be connected to machines. I think we’d all be happy pay an excise tax to support her.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) June 21, 2017
“After that, they can just keep Pelosi’s head alive in a hyperbaric chamber. Even if they keep her voice going, like Alexa …” Coulter concluded her Twitter storm.
Judging by the thousands of retweets she garnered, it appears that Republicans agree.

Democrat Congressmen Introduce Term Limits Legislation for SCOTUS Justices As Trump Prepares Nominee
Interesting timing.
Three Democrat members of Congress are introducing legislation to institute term limits for Supreme Court justices, as President Trump prepares to nominate his third candidate for the court following the death of progressive liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Democrats Joe Kennedy, Ro Khanna, and Don Beyer are proposing legislation that would limit SCOTUS justice to a maximum term of eighteen years on the court.
Lifetime appointments to the highest court in our land undermine our democratic process and erode progress in our nation.
We must enact 18 year term limits on our Supreme Court justices to continue our march towards a more perfect union. https://t.co/9fCyggP686
— Rep. Joe Kennedy III (@RepJoeKennedy) September 25, 2020
Khanna has proposed an idea that would allow Presidents to appoint two judges in each term. “Senior” members of the court would be required to basically retired for every new member of the court.
When I first ran for Congress in 2014, I proposed limiting terms of Supreme Court Justice to 18-appointments.
Given the recent, dramatic politicization of the Court, it's time for real reform.
Here's how the bill @RoKhanna @RepJoeKennedy and I are introducing would work: https://t.co/qoVgXPKGV3

It’s pretty funny the Democrats are uniting behind these proposals the moment they appear primed to lose control of the Supreme Court for a generation. They weren’t complaining when Obama was trying to replace Antonin Scalia with progressive Merrick Garland, even going so far as claiming that the stealth liberal was entitled to the seat. Reports emerging Friday suggest that President Donald Trump intends to nominate Amy Coney Barrett, a mostly conservative judge with a pro-life and immigration hawk judicial record.
The judicial branch of government is arguably the most flawed element of American governance, and it’s highly questionable how institutions such as the Supreme Court are able to appoint themselves a nearly unlimited amount of political power.
A better reform proposals would be to institute term limits for justices that only go into effect after the current members of the court vacate their seats. Anything else is simply a political power grab.
