What do you find gross about that? That there are people suffering while others are well-off? That rich, powerful people are friends with other rich, powerful people?

Not seeing how that makes Pelosi particularly "gross."


> That there are people suffering while others are well-off?

See, you got it in just a single guess. Good job!


How does that make Pelosi particularly gross? That applies to any person that’s well off.


Because she, in particular, is in a position to do something about it.


Yes, and she has done more about it than the vast majority of not just people, but public servants. She has helped pass a ton of legislation as Speaker of the House. You might not agree with her politics, but she has done a lot.


Social spending can't solve San Fran's social problems.


It's her sanctimony that settles it. Claiming to be righteous in the face of Trump/Republicans' sins (and believe me, I have no special love for that). Similar with people like Hillary acting like they are owed the election. Meanwhile people in the heartland are pissing in bottles, hoping to get another dollar per hour, and getting killed by tornadoes because they are not allowed to leave their shift at the warehouse. While she's defending grift to earn millions more. It's filthy. So this is how we go out, not with a bang but with a whimper. So much for "all men (and women) are created equal".

>So much for "all men (and women) are created equal"
