Banned already. That was the shortest-lived troll I’ve yet seen. Must have been an early beta version of a Russian bot, definitely not ready for deployment. ---

I’ve already reported the thread, but since you’re here, can you just cornfield the whole thread? Do we really need a thread based on a bullshit right-wing meme that Nancy Pelosi gives speeches while drunk? They pass around videos that have the audio slowed down to make it sound like she’s slurring. Here’s a cite: > **[Does Video Show Pelosi Drunk and Slurring Speech?](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/video-pelosi-slur-speech/)** > > For at least the second time in recent memory, social media trolls slowed down a video of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to make it seem like she was slurring her speech. ---
