Nancy Pelosi statement on the Trump indictment

Given how many seem to be discussing it, apparently so.

If she had said nothing, no one would have given her a thought

Ah, so she should shut up about current events.

Yes, that’s my view. Not just her. I don’t need the constant commentary. If it’s critical, hold a press conference. Otherwise, just keep it to yourself.

So, does this extend to everyone then? No one should offer their opinion unless they are willing and able to hold a press conference to give it?

Or is it just politicians that aren’t allowed to speak? What about when they go on news programs, or should they not do that?

I really don’t get what you are going for here. They didn’t provide the commentary for your benefit. You are free to not follow it if you don’t want to.

Politicians say things all the time, and you never hear a peep of it. The only reason you are hearing anything about this is that the right wing rage machine has been blasting it at 11. Maybe that’s the direction you should point your ire, rather than at someone daring to speak their mind?

I just hate Twitter. No thought is ever unexpressed. I don’t blame Pelosi. Everyone does it. This is just a great example. There was absolutely no reason anyone had to tweet about Trump’s indictment

Who needs spyware or phone hacking when you can just encourage people to spurt out every ill-considered impulsive thought and knee-jerk response, and then propagate the most outrageous posts ad infinitum via the “retweet”, punctuated by animated meme gifs?
