I mean I get that Pelosi is a political schemer and a shit leader who bizarrely always gets put in authority anyway (probably due to the scheming part) but why is she hated so much? I generally just regard her as a symptom of the general putridness of Congress in general than anything else. Congress rarely passes bills of any significance so any legislation she has helped pass that is particularly odious?

I felt, when I was one of her constituents, that she didn't actually do all that much for my area.

I don't even see how it is a question. Pelosi has been a known entity for decades (quick check says she's been in congress since the late 80s) while Un has been in power for just 7 years - and in power outside of America.

Most Trump supporters are going to be aware that Fat Boy insulted their fuhrer and threatened to rain nuclear destruction on the US before they became besties.  Whereas with Nancy, I'm thinking most of them would be hard pressed to name anything she actually did.  And the original statement was about mis*deeds*.

And they can meaningfully differentiate him from his father Il?

Nancy could easily be blamed for much of the Obama era / as a rep for Sodom by the Bay.

She's actually good at her job of whipping the caucus together and getting them to vote her way.

An effective woman in opposition to us!? We must demonize her!

Even the most opaque white boy can tell the difference between skinny dorky perm and lardy ridiculous faux soccer do.  One Trump supporter I've talked to was playing up the meeting (don't know how he views the shit box deal) as a major diplomatic triumph. 

FYI Korean given names are two syllables.  All hail Leader Kim.  How's it hanging Jong-Il?

Why does it matter whether the right wingers know what Pelosi did?  Knowing what a Democratic politician you're told to despise actually did is not necessary, in fact it's usually counter-productive for that purpose.  All you need to know is who she is.

Oh, I imagine they believe she has endorsed MS-13.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

QuoteThe latest Gallup poll puts Trump's job approval at 45%. That's the highest it's been since he took office, and it's up from 37% at the start of the year. Although you'd barely know it from the press Trump gets, his approval number has been on a slow but relatively steady rise all year.

That's from the 11th to the 17th. It doesn't cover the last week's meltdown.

Republicans know that Kim is a Communist, a dictator and (most importantly) a man. That's plenty to make him look better to them than Pelosi.

But it covers the meltdowns until the 10th. You guys are fucked, well you might have escaped.

I expect Trump will get a 15-20 point bounce when we go to war with Canada.

At least, didn't Bush get a 20 point bump when he went to war with Terror?
