Nancy Pelosi is losing it.
The former Democrat Speaker of the House is the walking personification of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Her hatred for the former (and likely next) president burns white-hot, as evidenced by her petulant, childish, immature, and unbecoming incident in which she tore up her copy of President Trump's 2020 State of the Union speech. Now, she's just becoming pathetic, as we see in her recent interview with MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell, where she begged the Trump family and the GOP to "stage an intervention" to prevent Trump from running. Why? Probably because she can see that he's winning.
Former House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called former President Trump an "imposter" in an interview on Thursday and asked that someone stage an "intervention" for him.
"He knows he's wacky," Pelosi told MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell. "He knows he's an imposter."
"But I do wish there would be an intervention from his family, assuming they love him beyond the resources … that they would intervene," she said, adding that she also hoped that the "Republican Party would have an intervention."
An intervention? Is she serious? It seems she is.
Trump, being Trump, has hit her hard on her role in the January 6th hooliganism.
"Nancy Pelosi was in charge of security. She turned down 10,000 soldiers," he told NBC’s "Meet the Press" host Kristen Welker at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club at the time. "If she didn’t turn down the soldiers, you wouldn’t have had Jan. 6."
It would have been roundly entertaining to have seen Nancy Pelosi's face when and if she heard that.

What's really great about all this is that Nancy Pelosi, she of the tearing-up of government documents, she of the burning rage at all things Trump, is a poster child for everything that is wrong with politics in the United States today. She has grown monstrously rich on her relatively modest congressional salary, especially during her tenure as Speaker. She has made some amazingly profitable stock trades, which, if you believe her trades in the stock market are on the up and up, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
In short, she's everything wrong with American politics, in one aging package. She is spiteful, corrupt, venal, angry, and did I mention corrupt?
There are good arguments for and against term limits. I generally find the arguments for term limits more persuasive, but the against side does have some good points to make. But on the "for" side of that argument is Nancy Pelosi and her ilk. She has made a career of a role that the Founders envisioned as a temporary term, served by citizen-legislators. And today, now, in this interview as well as others she has given recently, it's clear that she's failing, mentally and physically.
But then, she's got company there in the ranks of national Democrats.
Tune in and watch, however, on election night. If Trump starts pulling ahead in the Electoral College — and indications as of this writing are that he will — watch to see any public statement by Nancy Pelosi or any of her fellow Democrats in the final stages of Trump Derangement Syndrome. It will be glorious — glorious, I tell you!
