not sure if there's a clever german word for "one who is useless and simultaneously filled with contempt for others" but in english we can always just say "nancy pelosi".

She don't care. She got all her insider trading money.

Wait, she skipped the meaningless vote that would not pass anyway because Republicans still have the majority? I'm outraged!

There is no such thing as coincidence with these establishment Dems. A Hegseth impeachment should be a slam dunk. And yet.

Sorry, Pelosi, I just don't think anyone who is running for the "Lifetime Advocate for Veterans Award" would allow themselves to miss voting to impeach one of the most vile people responsible for abusing military power. For any reason.

Optics and accolades, that's all she cares about.

Couldn't vote no cause it would be bad optics, so she skipped out to receive an accolade she doesn't deserve.

to quote the great saint Joe Biden: "Nothing will fundamentally change"

once you start gettin awards for achievin' you don't even have to achieve anymore

a lot of you are probably too poor to understand

Can anyone explain to me how any of these votes were importtant at all, and how this isn’t just terminally online screechers?

What do you think these magical 11 votes were going to do in a republican stacked Congress?

The vote was 211 to 204. An additional 11 no votes would have forced 5 more republicans to go on record. They would presumably have been from 5 districts which are less safe from criticism of Hegseth than the 211 who voted yes.

Perhaps more importantly; those 11 votes would have showed that it takes more than 8 days for the DNC to wipe their ass with the will of the people.

More importantly, she's dumb enough to trust Republicans to vote the way they said they would.

So more ceremonial dance that will be utterly forgotten and pointless. The trump voters left ain’t changing because of this shit they’ll change even ice is at the door attesting their neighbors and gas is $10

Maybe she's tired of the rigged system and decided to sit it out in protest.

/s for all the muted intelligence owners. You know who you are.
