It made it sound more like a domestic dispute than an attempted kidnapping/assassination attempt.

    So, a few folks began to speculate and it pissed off a few other folks who then began to throw shade at people who never made any comment or speculation on the subject, all in an effort to slam their perceived ideological rival due to, for some unknown reason, Trump. Weird!
    Yes, I heard about that CBS News report that was later taken down. I suppose CBS got their information from someplace, but even if from an official source, that source talked out of turn. An assailant doesn’t preclude Pelosi from calling the intruder a “friend” to keep the guy from going ballistic.

    Because you keep sticking with the stupid and cruel idea that he might be Larry Craig in a democrat’s clothes.

    Feel free to share links where articles from actual news sites indicated at the time in any way that what happened to mr pelosi was that he was attacked by a gay lover.

    It would be fitting if you were to share any posts where I've expressed any opinion on it at all prior to your two different veiled accusations.

    No kidding. I can't imagine being so heartless as to tell someone who lost her legs in service of this country that they should just get over it and STFU.

    If republicans were decent human beings I suspect they could override any ‘democrat shenanigans’.

    Yes, apparently they lack the moral flexibility to understand that the end justifies the means.

    Today a report on gerrymandering… Sunday mornings with Jane Pauley … 44 states do gerrymandering of which 42 are republican! Shocking to say the least!

    That's an interesting statistic! I was under the impression that prior to last weeks elections, only about 30 states were controlled by Republican legislatures and of those, only about 23 also had Republican governors. I wonder how they managed to gerrymander so many?

    The other six states, one of them mine, only have a single congressional district. Gerrymandering isn't possible. I think gerrymandering is a bipartisan strategy.
