I'm just at that part of HOC...

Hip breaks are awful. She should retire.

McConnell goes down, next Pelosi falls. Time for these political dinosaurs to realize when their old bones need to Lazy-boy more and retire.

Let's be clear; she needed a hip replacement after the fracture. That's code for 'bone so porous/fragile that there was NO WAY to put a pin or two in and have it heal. I don't know the exact circumstances but wearing high heels in one's 80s is ludicrous & asking for trouble.

I think Pelosi was one of the best speakers but I do also think they need to recognize when to retire. Don't end up like Feinstein.

Or Ruth Ginsburg.

She kept her legacy intact at least.

Chuck Grassley

He’s 90-frickin’-one!

Some orange tinted old fool living in Florida, just shy of 80…..

Probably will soon join ivana at the golf course.

Sigh...dreams are free...

Lots of accounts to block on this thread. Did you celebrate when her husband was attacked?

I've been blocking, too. People who call themselves progressives or Democrats here and phony right down to the bone.

Blocking as I go 💙

agreed.

Almost as if 80 year olds should be sitting at home rather than representing a country they're not even close to being in touch with

Hey now. 79 year old here who posts so much political items and anti-trump that my family thinks I'm obsessed. Love @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social robert reich, democracydocket, Marc Elias.

It's great that you voice your thoughts and views to spread your values. You're not sitting in Congress though, that's the difference

I like people who have actually experienced things

Every time I saw her wearing high heel (at her age??) I thought how ridiculous it is. Sorry but making clacking noises as you walk or pretending to be 2 inches taller than you really are isn't worth the obvious danger. Smart people don't wear high heels.

She’s another one that needs to retire for gods sake. Age limits and term limits are needed. 💙💙

Federal judges are required to retire at age 70. Why not Congress?

At her age a *very* serious injury.

Since she can walk from one end of the Capitol to the other end in high heels and not be breathing hard, I'm going bet she's in better shape than most people her age

It’s not that, it’s the reduced mobility that just seems to trigger a decline. But I also expect that her medical care will be above-par.

If reports of a broken hip are true but the pelvis isn't damaged, they may be able to just replace the hip in which case they could have her on her feet the same day as the surgery or at least the day after.

Most people her age are dead.

Was AOC at the top of the stairs?😉 Just asking…..

Is that karma for trying to block AOC?😬

And what she, Schumer, Schiff et al did to Biden too... IMO

Among other things. She’s been blocking progress for years, like the other fossils still clinging to power.

💙😟🙏💪💙

Damn! I have hip problems and I know how much that hurts. Hopefully Pelosi will have a good and quick recovery. 🙏

Oh no! I hope she is OK. This can be serious at her age.

Shouldn't be a fossil in government..down with allllllll the fossils

That’s what she gets for tanking Biden and then coming after AOC

Damn

Hope the marble stairs are ok.

If you don’t have anything remotely decent yo say, you should sit this one out

Thank you! 💙

This!! 💯☝️

Please, enough comments on Nancy's chances for recovery; she has access to the best health care and rehab! The rest of us..not so much, unfortunately. A broken hip would be a death knoll for me.

I believe she’s in great shape & will have a full recovery. My mom broke her hip last year at age 99, came home just 4 days after surgery & is now doing well at 100!

I bet her hip broke then she fell, that's how it goes at our age.

Bring back Jessica Denson with Lights On

Come join us live in an hour on my channel! youtube.com/live/lIASIFQ...

Shit, not good.

A broken hip huuuuurts!!!

Ouch. Heels and marble are not a good mix.

Heels are an accident waiting to happen ...

That’s awful. I wish her a speedy recovery.

Hot take: Electing geriatrics is elderly abuse.

she needs some insider info on slipperiness of stairs.

Omg, she NEEDS TO GO.

Nurse huh? smfh

She’s just pointing out that age 84 is too old for Congress. As a nurse, she has experience.

The reaction to Pelosi sustaining a broken hip was hack. Nurse huh? smfh

Get well Nancy!!

Hope she recovers and goes home and retires immediately. She also needs to stop trying to push out AOC and put in a 74YO with throat cancer.

Need a retirement age for these geriatric representatives and senators.

Oh no! Quick and complete healing!

That's awful...I bet that hurt! Hope she recovers well🙏

OUCH! Poor Nancy, a fractured hip and she's so far from home.

Hey kids, Drink your MILK! Don't drink the raw milk with the brain worms!!!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery

Hope she heals up nicely 🙏🏻

Good - fuck that inside trader. She FLED.

Oh no. Hope for a full and speedy recovery.

Oh no

She’s a fighter for sure. Godspeed for her healing and recovery!

I'm sure Trump will find this hysterically funny and have a brand new 10 minutes on it in his next press avail

Fell, or was pushed?

Oh Nancy, not the hip! Difficult recovery,tell em to drug you up and send you to the HSS, in NYC top ranked orthopedic hospital in the world an United States or Mary Washington Hospital in D.C. Prayers for you, my dear!

100% HSS

Can yous believe this???I just fell on my ass and HIP !On ceramic tile floor. Dammitol!

Well that’s pretty fucked she’s a very high percentage of dying within the next year these kind of falls are deadly

It’s the anesthesia during the surgery that is scary. At her age it can cause serious memory problems.

My aunt fell and broke her hip and had hip replacenent when she was 91.She is now 101!

My mother died at 75 from a fall after 1 year in a nursing home- your lucky

I'm sorry for your loss.

Now say it with me, the elderly shouldn’t be running the country.

Why?

They won’t be here to deal with the shit they are doing to it? Regardless of side. Younger people should have a say in what’s going to be happening

Nothing stopping younger people...where are they ? Sitting on their ass bitching about older people.

Actually AOC is vying for the lead seat on a committee right now and Nancy is trying to block her, in favor of another geriatric corporate shill! People are sick of the BS man!

AOC has a lot of strengths BUT she is too impulsive at this point.

Do you really need to ask that?

Amen to that

“Falling down stairs,” like Ivana, is the new, “Falling out a window,” or, “Falling off a balcony.”

🙏💕

Some of the comments on here are so bad. She is a great lady and was our best Speaker. She deserves respect and admiration. Have we forgotten what she deserves because Trump and MAGA are running the show? Or is cruelty just the point now? I hope to always have kindness in heart and deed.

It’s gotten so bad. I blame social media for a good share of it. People think because they’re more or less anonymous, they can dispense with civility.

Nancy Pelosi held Democracy together during the Russian Asset's 1st term, helped Biden pass historically transformative legislation. The empirical evidence shows she is the GREATEST US SPEAKER in history.

Nancy Pelosi stood up to Republicans. She fought for legislation like Affordable Care Act. Our country is better because of her.

Time to retire.

#idfbombshospitals #ableg #cdnpoli #Gaza #Palestine @IntlCrimCourt

I love her. She IS and WAS the backbone we needed for so long. I’m afraid she is at the point where she needs to retire, for her own well-being. Possibly the most important woman in congressional history. Get well, soon!

And this is why we need term limits.

and mute buttons

Was MTG nearby dressed like the unibomber?

Hopefully she recovers. A lot of people her age don't recover well from this

Oh nooooo, sending her healing vibes, get well soon Speaker Emerita Pelosi

Not going to be an easy recovery at her age .. sorry

I like Nancy, but I think it's time for the young democrats to have their time in office.

i don’t like nancy, and i think it’s time for her to retire permanently

But, 79 year old liar, adulterer, rapist, tax cheat, fraud, twice impeached, felon, lover of dictators who tried to overturn the 2020 election & overthrow the government is okay to president of the United States of America.

She has done a fantastic job in the House and has been a strong advocate for civil rights and has fought tooth and nail against the tyrannical MAGA cult … I’m failing to see a reason to dislike her… I think we need her still and while she’s injured it wouldn’t hurt to show a sliver of empathy

I agree, but I'm 72, and I think that it's time for young people to run the government because it's their future. Everything is changing, and I think that the people who will be living in the future should be the ones to run it

I hope she has a speedy recovery. However, she's also guilty of insider trading, and blocks the progressives. She really should retire and this will hopefully be a wake up call.

I know, but a lot of the congress and senate are . I think it's time that they are all held to account. These people are making decisions that are affecting our lives

Totally agree.

Just curious what exactly do you not like about her?

This.

She needs to get the F out of DC. The party’s first priority may be to eliminate all the old hats by 50%. Republicans are now a new party. Dems need to become a new party without the stink-eye to the working class (which is just about everyone under $250K in assets now.

That would be the end of the Republican party

Oh no! Praying for you, Speaker Pelosi!

I sincerely hope Nancy recovers by the time she retires

You come out against AOC and this is what happens. Some people call it karma.

Did you see her say that, or are you relying on anonymous sources quoted in an article?

Nancy Mace is jealous.

Retire, please.

I wish her a recovery as quick as her first deposition to impeach Trump.

I love how you point out that the stairs were marble. I'm sure she'll receive excellent care since she's in a European country with marble stairs.

Omg I hope she will pull through and heal quickly 💗

I hope she doesn’t get bedridden. That’s not good. Just went through that with my mom.

Rest and recovery

Maybe time to stop wearing high heels and wear safe comfortable shoes?

So sorry to hear this.

This means she’s going to die soon, right?

Ken thinks so too. #OurDyingLeaders

aging.jmir.org/2022/1/e32683/ , and I hope not.

My mom was gone six months after her hip fracture. She was 84. Best wishes to Speaker Pelosi for her recovery. I may not agree with everything she’s done in Congress, but she’s a hero in my eyes. She got the orange blowhard impeached. Twice.

If she had a shell like McConnell, she would have been fine.

Oh Nik 😂

😆

Very sad, poor lady

So an 84 yr old woman falls and fractures a hip, but a healthy 73 yr old woman falls and DIES. Curious-how many 73 yr olds do you know who fall down stairs and DIE? Just another fact from Bizarro World that we forget about…until we remember and go WTF?!

Agree!

73 yo had a heart attack and then died at base of the stairs. 84 yo hip fx and then they fell.

Doubt it.....says she fell and fractured a hip.

Regarding the 73 year old are you referring to anything specific?

“Authorities believe Donald Trump’s first wife Ivana died after suffering a cardiac arrest. Ivana, 73, was discovered unconscious at the bottom of a staircase at her home in Manhattan just after midday. Police are investigating whether she fell down the stairs.”

I'm guessing they're talking about Natasha, I mean Ivana, Trump.

Noted. For some reason I thought they were talking about someone I knew nothing about

And Biden was to old. Hope she recovers but maybe a sign to retire.

And don’t forget Chuck Grassley too he’s 91. These geriatrics need to retire.

There should be a mandatory retirement age for members of Congress. Federal judges are required to retire at age 70.

Grassley is 91?!?! GODDAMN

Ouch! Not good. I never understood how she managed to wear those high heels.

Is that what happened? They kept being cryptic about it. Please let us know anymore if you find out soon?

Was anyone near her at the time? Are we sure it was just a fall? Sad to ask questions like this or even think it, but here we are.

Oh no! Poor Nancy Pelosi 🥺 Wishing her a full and speedy recovery Sending love from Australia 💙🦋

Well, falls are a major issue for anyone who is old. Especially because so many people have osteoporosis. Too many falls lead to death.

Not a Dr but.....usually bone fracture then fall

Oh crap. That's a hard recovery at her age.

Dang!

Hope for a speedy recovery. Fractured hip is no joke for anyone.

Oh no... a hip fracture at her age is not good... I hope she's going to be okay.

as long as she is ok back at home as a citizen

Why are the geriatrics running our country?! Making the laws that control us?!

Better the Geriatrics than the Billionaires.

You don’t understand how wealthy she is. It’s the same people.

Oh, I know. I’m just saying- look what’s coming… Billionaires who just don’t care and are NOT geriatric.

Just want to point out that that’s how women have felt for a very long time about men writing laws for us and about us. I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m saying welcome to the club.

Oh I don’t think men should make laws.

Probably because no lazy bastard wants to step up...ya think ? I hope you have the intelligence to step up next election...cos you know so much.

Oh, dear. A hard fall and a hip fracture often begins a downward spiral for an elderly person. She's a tough old bird -- I hope she beats the odds.

Copycat crime. That’s how they got Ivana T.

My mother had a fall and fractured her hip at age 89. Rough injury. She ended up having a partial hip replacement and can walk again (now 90). Very painful without the surgery.

Great! Glad to know we have a chance💕

I hope Nancy recovers fully and with a minimum of pain.

I think she damaged what was left of her brain

Time to stop wearing the stilettos...

Donald pushed her.

Ivana wants a word...

😆

Take it as a sign to hang it up. At 84 you have little to no skin in the game. You made enough from your using your privileged information to trade stocks. What's left?

She is/was out of the country when it happened. In Luxembourg.

Holy sh*t!

Sending best wishes for a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

Yikes!

Tough hit at any age, hope she is well

Omg, retire already. Y’all threw Biden under the bus for “being old” yet y’all are falling and busting your heads too. Resign!

This! Unforgivable and plain grubby the way she went about it.

Ouch. She should probably retire.

Bet she has great health insurance. Also, grandma needs to retire.

Thank the gods she’s not in America… she’ll get incredible medical care in Luxembourg.

Ouch

So 🤔 she's retiring now? I also hope she's ok, too.

Gotta be careful on stairs. It's why I stick to practical, rubber soled shoes because I know those stairs are out to get me.

Every time I'd see her in those high heels I wondered how the hell she could walk in them! I gave them up after a few tries back in my 20s! Idiot goddam things.

Nancy was born in heels.

And marble stairs are notoriously slippery.

Me as well. Last thing I need is an injury like that.

And always use the handrail!

Was trump standing behind her?

I laughed way too hard at that one!

Omg. Ouch!!!

AOC: I want the speaker to know it was me 🤌🏽

Awful!

Fuck 😭 Goid thing she has the nest insurance jn the country, for normal women her age in this country, a broken hip is a death sentence.

Oh no 😟

Such a lack of kindness and caring in these comments. How sad and low Americans have become. Yes, there are some nice comments, but I’m still shocked at how cruel society has become.

I agree but unfortunately these assholes don’t respond to nice or haven’t you noticed?

I think you are missing the point, but go on, keep the rank and file dems front and center. I guess Dems deserve the losses they keep inflicting. I wish her speedy recovery, including everyone else who broke their hips. See, we don’t talk about them, but ok!

Ah, bad news!

#karma for the public pressure campaign against Biden, I’m guessing.

Oh no terrible news! When that happened to my grandmother, sadly it was virtually the end for her.

Oh no! I hope her recovery is speedy and simple.

That’s not good at her age.

Good for the country.

🙏🙏🙏🙏

That’s too bad

Why do we continue to allow these old fucks to ruin our lives? ( I’m a dem too)

Time to put her down I guess.

Okay that made me chortle. Funny but not funny all the same.

Oh no! Nancy, heal quickly.

Oh that is awful.

That’s really really really bad.😳

😢

Pretty common for the elderly to fall…important that she get care/hip replacement surgery immediately. She will probably have better outcome than most her age. Wishing her the best…

Good for her!

Ouch!!!

I’ve been told that an osteoporosis hip breaks are often not due to the fall although there is tissue and muscular damage, but the hip breaks first and then people fall.

Nancy tripped and fell down marble stairs. So I don't think that her hip broke first, although that can happen.

I wish her a recovery that is as speedy as her body can handle?...

Sounds painful- here’s to a quick recovery ❤️‍🩹

Usually the hip breaks and is followed by a fall. I hope she recovers soon.

Actually not common at all.

You think that is a sign?

My poor sweet lady ! Oh crap . Oh that is hard to heal and she’s out of the country. I’m so sorry.

She will love the low/no cost healthcare.

I came for this comment.

#PrayersForNancy 💙🙏💙

I’m not a fan of Nancy anymore but as someone who falls easily, ouch is all I gotta say

Hip fractures are really bad for the elderly. 😕

And the ugly hateful comments I’ve seen on MSN and NewsBreak are so horrible.

Prayer to Nancy Pelosi get well soon. They gonna needs your support and knowledge. 💙🙏🏿

I realize the majority of people want the 70+ folks to retire and I agree but let’s not be mean about her. She has done a lot of good for the country and has never sold herself out for the people. We need term limits and age limits but let’s not celebrate her being hurt. Save that for Mitch.

Well said.

A physical injury has nothing to do with a mental problem...and that's not Nancy's problem, but Trump and the rest of the treasonous GOPs. Some of us at 80 are a shit load more enlightened than a shit load of younger people who have never thought straight.

I agree. Everyone is different. I do however think people like Diane Feinstein stayed too long and Mitch McConnell clearly has cognitive issues. MTG and Boebert are dumb as rocks at any age. We do however have to address people that can’t do their jobs no matter how uncomfortable the conversation

I’m good for another 30 years

bsky.app/profile/axio...

Yes, I saw that. She needs to be supportive of AOC but it still doesn’t take away years of good work she’s done. She needs to retire and let the next generation step up.

She is trying to take down our strongest fighter for what? Power? Did she put on the golden handcuffs or is it greed?

I’m not sure. Seems like she’s having trouble stepping aside. We don’t need another Diane Feinstein.

Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Don’t mess with AOC.

I hope she gets better. But this is also a reason you should retire from D.C. life after 70.

Why, again? Because injuries happen?

Huh?

Oh 🫣 nooo!!! Hope she’s going to be ok… long recovery on that surgery… she and her family have been through a lot over last few years.💔

You’re so right! And even since she almost lost her husband due to the violence that Trump egged on, Trump had still refused to take any responsibility for his actions or the disgusting things he’s said about Paul after the attack and he continues to egg the cult on to violence.. I hope she’ll be ok

Ouch. Feel better @speakeremeritanancy pelosi

I appreciate her and wish her a speedy recovery. I also think it’s time for her to retire.

Oh, no😭

Nancy just retire Let the kids take it from here.

Stepping eerily close to people "falling out of windows" like they do in 🇷🇺

She needs to retire

We need every vote we have in Congress.. a hip fracture for anyone takes months to heal.. A petite 84 year old woman longer...We're screwed already

The old guard is literally falling down. First McConnel now Pelosi. Older leadership please take this as the metaphor it is. Let some new blood into the fight.

Oh I hope that she is alright?

Welp, that's the beginning of the end for her.

Oh no! At home or work?

But Joe was too old for her. Karma.

I hope she will recover quickly and well. I will always admire her strength and leadership. I do think it’s time to pass the baton as well.

Wishing Emerita Pelosia speedy recovery 🫶

And true to form, I see on a local Houston news FB site, all the Maggots are laughing. And worse.

Old age sucks!! Everything breaks easily from a minor fall

😥

ooof, hip fractures are a tough recovery for the elderly

Retire! The fuck else is left to get Nancy?

Money… always about the money!

What money are you talking about?

Have you seen her stock portfolio? During one of those “insider trading” stories they showed how you can see what the politicians are buying on the market. $$$$$$

Well, her husband's stock portfolio. You are suggesting she doesn't retire so she can give insider information to her husband that he can use to trade stocks? The last "insider trading" story I saw he sold SOME of his Visa stock on July 1 and DOJ announced a suit against Visa on Sept 24.

She had the guts & stamina to keep tRump from running amuck his first term. She stood up to him when few would & while wearing high heels. Speaker Pelosi will go down in history as one of the best Speakers of the House, if not the best.

Yup, but she’s not speaker anymore so she won’t hold the same level of influence as previously. But the question was “why is she staying”. Money… or maybe just to piss off the republican/conservatives.

She knows we’re doomed

So sorry to hear this.

Ooh, not good. I’m sure she’ll be fine

Hope she is alright

Karma is coming for an old woman who didn’t want an old democrat for president. Well karma came twice once as an old orange stain for president and once for her an old woman who should have left long ago.

Broken hip is better than head/brain injury. Hopefully not a complicated fracture. Titanium hopefully can be the ticket.
