Try googling 'Pelosi inaugurated' and you will get a bunch of hits regarding Trump's inauguration, but nothing of "Pelosi's inauguration." No one uses that language. Not the NYT, not the WAPO, not CNN, and not the congress critters themselves.

Only you, AOC, and the Long Island Times. BTW that long island times link didn't work, at least for me. But hey, if you wish to use language no one else uses, go for it.

You and AOC apparently don't know common parlance. Embarrassing!
Yep, that is something to be truly embarrassed about. I just can't believe somebody would use that word in that context. Truly appalling!

No I think that belongs to Hank Johnson or the lady with the tiny cowboy hat.

Cue my favorite video:

I guess you can't fault her on anything worthwhile, so you're grasping at straws?
She's made some immensely stupid comments since ending up in the public spotlight, she may be a young novice but when it comes to economic policy she sounds ignorant AF.

Ahh, latch onto one minor verbal slip-up as proof that she's wrong in the entirety of her program. And that assumes it is an error. As in Inauguration of the 100th Illinois General Assembly Jan. 11, 2017.

Now what was that about the substance of her policies you object to again? (Oops! I'm sorry! She doesn't have any policies yet, because she's not elected yet. I meant proposed policy! My Bad!!! )

Attending law school does not change the fact that a B.A. in History is still liberal arts.

Also, would he have still been considered a failure by you guys had he not attended law school? Note that I don't personally believe Louie is stupid. I think he's a fine man and should be commended for his military service. However, I notice plenty of right wingers on this site tend to label anyone who graduates with a liberal arts degree as being simple-minded fodder whose sole destination in life is working the latte machine at Starbucks.

Clearly she is a political rookie, so I wouldn't be too afraid if her, but the more you attack her, the more of your fear you reveal.
She's too hilarious to attack.

Yea, she may sound articulate but all you have to do is listen to her for a few minutes to come to the conclusion that she is a Bernie-brainwashed wanna be ‘fill in the blank.’ Useful idiot.
