BREAKING: NANCY PELOSI (D-CA) has secured enough votes to win her 4th term as Speaker of the House.

Vote still not closed as votes being officially tabulated but it's pretty much a done deal

The unofficial tally per @CSPAN
. Pelosi needed 214 votes to win given the "present votes, so she got two more than was needed

I see it as a narrow win. Honestly I'd rather see her than someone more radical and more to the left.  She is showing signs of dementia, she'll be turning 81 in March, so realistically we could perhaps see her have to step down sooner rather than later.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Dementia seems to be prerequisite for leadership spots in the rat hierarchy.

HaHaHaHa...!
They will get what they voted for...LOL!

Democrats are so F*ed Up. They live in outer space.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

The DEMS are obviously F'd up, but they are in control with a push towards socialism. Our focus needs to be our Republic; certainly won't be done at the ballot box and we need to come together and figure out how to move forward.

Five centrist Democrats oppose Pelosi for Speaker in tight vote

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) lost five Democratic defectors in her razor-thin margin for winning reelection to what is likely to be her final term as Speaker on Sunday in a vote that fell under the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic and a historically thin House majority.

Pelosi managed to win over some of the 15 Democrats who previously declined to back her for Speaker in 2019 to muscle her way to another two years leading House Democrats.

But a handful of centrists who represent competitive districts who also opposed Pelosi for Speaker in 2019 did so again on Sunday at the start of the new session of Congress.


Pelosi won 216 votes to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's (R-Calif.) 209. Not a single Republican defected from McCarthy, compared to six in 2019. Other defectors from two years ago did not win reelection.

Drama...ha...Miss Nancy is good at counting votes. She needed 214 to retain Speakership.  She got that with 2 to spare and it allowed the other 5 to defect..it's all political games.

Members Exposed to Coronavirus Using Separate Entrance, ‘Secure Enclosure’ to Vote in Speakership Election

Hannah Bleau 3 Jan 2021

House members who are otherwise supposed to be in quarantine due to exposure to the Chinese coronavirus are reportedly using a separate entrance and “secure enclosure” on Sunday to vote in the speakership election.

Capitol Hill physician Brian Monahan said the members in question, who tested negative for the virus, will be permitted to vote via a “secure enclosure.” Such will “ensure continuity of operations of essential functions.” Further, Monahan said they will be “permitted to continue work following potential exposure to COVID-19 provided they remain asymptomatic and additional precautions are implemented to protect them and the community.”

U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL) reportedly called the action “shameful,” adding that the “only reason this is happening is because Speaker Pelosi needs to be re-elected speaker”:

Considering how incompetent she was while working for Obama's agenda, I'm not sure this is a bad thing.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
