Home invader punches out Mr. Nancy Pelosi in SF.

Nancy has an alibi, right?

He had it coming

This is bullshit.

idiots like Alito go on about being concerned for safety, but his fundie nutbag followers are the ones with a history of violent assaults.

Rethugs whine, but always play the victim while their followers go around assaulting anyone who disagrees with their nutbaggery.

Shit I'm in SF and it hasn't even made the papers yet.

I'm astounded that the Pelosis don't have full-time secret service protection.

R5 we will no and you’ll pay for it!

This is a boldfaced lie. The man was there on a normal tourist visit.

He'll recover.

Of all the dems out there, why does the right choose Pelosi as the target of the most insane seething hatred?

Personality wise, she's basically a typical republican country club mom. She hates the woke lesbian wing of her party. If she hadn't been born a Democrat political dynasty, she'd almost certainly be hosting Trump fundraisers in the Hamptons right now.

Because they hate women and hate "libs". They believe she torture kills children to have sex with their corpses and drink their blood. Seriously

Nancy wasn't home. A lady friend's pimp, perhaps?

Hubby is struggling with alcohol so I will wait until additional data is received

Oh, there ain’t no struggle. I drink fine.

[quote]This is a boldfaced lie.

Oh, dear, Congressman.

I too go with unpaid pimp...Gonna play, you gotta pay. The Ho didn't sing when Paulie got his DUI..That type of 'loyalty' costs

Before finalizing my ratty little opinion

They hate her because she knows how to get under their skin and expose their cowardice and hypocrisy.

And she does it quietly and with razor sharp wit.

Rightwingers are all like r9, itching to hurt and kill people, and with only the thinnest of reasons why.

Don’t they live in a gated community? Nancy needs to pay for better security.

I said this on the other thread too, but r12 is right. I saw a handful of QAnon style comments on Twitter when he was arrested for DUI, so I suspect he's been a target of the far right nutjobs for a while now. Nancy definitely has.

[quote] Of all the dems out there, why does the right choose Pelosi as the target of the most insane seething hatred?

They find her very, what's the word.... supercilious?

I guess this won't help their crime narrative so close to elections.

r21 She lives in a co-op in NY but she owns a townhouse in her district in San Francisco for election reasons.

Why is she never with her husband? It's very suspicious. Someone needs to get her phone records.

B-but the crime wave is all fiction!

Maybe he was drunk and looked at the mirror

She's busy, working to save American democracy

Crime really IS out of control. I mean, it wasn’t some rando on the street. They actually busted into her house.

[quote]I'm astounded that the Pelosis don't have full-time secret service protection.

It is a bit surprising, considering the Speaker is #3 in line for the Presidency.

Defund the police!

Coincidence?

Reading between the lines, hubby is partying his sunset years away

I doubt the break in was random. It's most likely the house was targeted.

"I doubt the break in was random. It's most likely the house was targeted."

It couldve been random. In that, there are so many mentally ill homeless people in SF, it couldve been some nutjob randomly attacking what looked to be a rich person's house.

Odd that the statement ends with: "The Pelosi's request privacy at this time"

Doesn't that usually mean brace for a scandal?

Corrupt man. That's why. Of course Datalounge will look the other way since he is married to QUEEN PELOSI.

Nancy wants privacy..as in nobody better leak or cover what the Ho & Pimp Daddy might say.

Kick to the count bone?

^cunt

[quote]Odd that the statement ends with: "The Pelosi's request privacy at this time". Doesn't that usually mean brace for a scandal?

To me it means they don't know how to use apostrophes.

Grindr hookup gone horribly wrong

Mafia hit job?

Drug deal gone bad?

Could be any one of these things and more.

I highly doubt this was random.

But I do think that if it's anything unsavory, that the story will be buried.

Mr. Nancy used the 'do you know who I am card' with the cop after his DUI crash. The dashcam shows he was shitfaced. The cop said looking at the crash he was lucky he and the guy he hit weren't injured more severely. For this Pelosi got 5 days in jail reduced to 2 for 'good behavior' and only had to pay the guy he fucked up a paltry sum.

Point being, victim came back for some rough justice.

Point being, at this point we have no fucking idea what happened.

R46 No shit asshole. We're having a bit of fun. Go back to Metafilter if you don't like it.

Nancy had called the liquor store to say there would be no more deliveries for Mr. Pelosi. Later, he perfectly imitated her voice on the phone to tell them that had been a mistake. Trouble started.

No idea, but I have a dirty mind and put two and two together and come up with something nasty.

Hookup gone wrong? I mean, it is San Francisco..

Must be something nefarious, because none of the high-profile Dems are saying anything.

Hmm, strange story. How does an 82-year-old confront an intruder, get hit with a hammer, and then somehow the police arrive to nab the guy and everything’s ok? Ol’ Paul sure has been getting into scrapes lately.

He answered the door drunk and fell on someone's fist.

r51 if it was something nefarious (republicans), they would all be talking... it would be great for midterms.

Fist= man pussy?

NEXT TIME YOU FINISH THE JOB!!!

People are saying it's a desperate midterm stunt.

Schumer released a statement and the White House released info that Biden called Nancy out of concern. That's not "Democrats are staying quiet."

[quote] Nancy had called the liquor store to say there would be no more deliveries for Mr. Pelosi. Later, he perfectly imitated her voice on the phone to tell them that had been a mistake. Trouble started.

Wasn't this a scene from "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"

The Capitol Police, FBI and San Francisco police released a joint statement that they are investigating.

"I'm sorry Miss, but I've got my own problems."

Mr. Pelosi has issued a statement.

This would also be good cover for her retirement. . . they have been pressuring hard for her to.

If she wins, then hand picked candidate.

If she loses, court intrigue and conspiracy.

"People are saying it's a desperate midterm stunt"

Typical!

Catherine Cortez-Masto reached out to Pelosi personally:

“Nancy, it’s a desperate situation. New polls show me losing in Nevada! Our Senate majority could be lost FOREVER! Rush in $5 to my campaign right now. Can I count on you Nancy?”

Didn't he recently severely injure some people driving drunk. Retribution?

Just an FYI the Secret Service doesn't protect members of Congress that is the job of the Capitol Police.

R67 Even though she is, what, third in line?

R67 ??? I thought certain senators had secret service protection. I think you are mistaken.

The AP is saying that its sources confirm that it wasn't a random attack and that the house was specifically targeted.

R71 that's very interesting.

Hillz would have had SS protection when she was a Senator. Any others?

The speaker is 2nd in line after the VP. The speaker should have some protection IMO. This is 2022, MAGAT times.

The assailant was a deformed man with hairy breasts and an engorged clitoris. Terrifying.

It's foolish to attempt to pay your gentleman callers with a check. They emphatically prefer cash.

He got the wrong occupant. Where was she hiding?

[quote]He got the wrong occupant. Where was she hiding?

She was in Washington

Pictures of her house in the DM article show how vulnerable it is. A neighbor was robbed at gunpoint recently. They need to move pronto.

She really needs better security at her SF home.

And so it begins.

I hope nobody POOPED!

The maniac came through a sliding glass door. They have had protesters at their house before. I assumed the husband was filthy rich but that street and house are not posh for a power couple.

How are two people as wealthy as they are, with understandable heightened risk due to her job, not spending some money on protecting themselves? I find it hard to feel sorry for them in the big picture.

They need to sell all their properties and buy a fortress. On the other hand, Pelosi could just quit. She's OLD.

The couple owns a four-bedroom San Francisco home that sits in the middle of her congressional district and was purchased in 2007 for $2.2 million but is thought to be worth at least $6 million now.

Pelosi is one of the wealthiest members of Congress with a fortune of $29.3 million according to an analysis of her financial disclosure forms by Roll Call.

She and Paul Pelosi own multiple properties spread over several states. She spends most of her time in Washington D.C where she has a $2.6 million condo in the upscale Georgetown district.

The couple also have a 65-acre wine estate in St Helena, 65 miles north of San Francisco, that boasts a Palladian style house and a Z shaped pool.

According to Roll Call, the property is now worth between $5 million and $2 million and provides the Pelosis with an annual windfall of up to $15,000 from grape sales.

Pelosi also owns a second Napa Valley property worth $1 million which is rented out for up to $50,000 a year according to her financial disclosure forms.

A second rental property worth up to $5 million is located in the upscale Sugar Bowl Ski Resort near Norden, California.

What a messed up world. I’m sure some QANON loon did this.

Meanwhile the disgusting Daily Mail posts pictures of the house so that anyone can find it.

Punched out ? Try assault with hammer with blunt force injuries

"CNN, citing a source, reported that the assailant shouted *** "Where is Nancy?"*** before the attack. The Associated Press reported the hammer-wielding assailant specifically targeted the Pelosis' home."

You right-wing nutjobs always leave out the best part. The left could use a few nutjobs for balance, but they all belong to the right

[quote] Meanwhile the disgusting Daily Mail posts pictures of the house so that anyone can find it.

Anyone with a hammer could find this house if they wanted to, that's why protesters have been there before.

The DM is having a field day describing San Francisco as a shithole though.

^ Well, they're based in London, God knows they know shitholes

[quote]The left could use a few nutjobs for balance, but they all belong to the right

Those of us on the left would not be able to fit our heads that far up our asses.

Suspect identified--David Depape of Berkeley, California.

Shit, hope he's not a climate loony.

UPDATE: A law enforcement source identified the suspect as David Depape, possibly of Berkeley.

The motivation for the attack was not immediately apparent but the attacker reportedly entered the home asking “where is Nancy?”

Doesn't seem to be a MAGAt, if this info is correct.

Is he Republican?

A Castro nudist? How bizarrre.

[quote]Doesn't seem to be a MAGAt, if this info is correct.

Why not?

The man who assaulted Paul Pelosi tried to tie him up “until Nancy got home,” according to two sources familiar with the situation. When the police arrived, the assailant said he was “waiting for Nancy.”

Wtf is a Castro nudist?

[quote].When the police arrived, the assailant said he was “waiting for Nancy.”

That turned out to be waiting for Godot. Sorry pal.

Never lived in San Francisco, huh R103?

Did he attack him in the nude?

MAGAts always say rich liberals like Nancy live behind gates, away from normal people and sequestered from the riff raff they allegedly purposely unleash on innocents. But here’s Nancy, living in a house smack dab on the sidewalk without even a bar on the doors or windows.

I’m curious what is a Castro nudist?

I guess a Rep?

IS IT THAT FUCKING HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT A NUDIST IN THE CASTRO IS?

An unhoused person?

Basic question: is he a Rep (nude or not)

DePape is probably a Berkley hippie who went down the Q-hole.

He was a nudist protester. Does that mean he was protesting nudity? Too many questions.

He seems to be a conspiracy loon..anti vax, etc.

It wasn't random. The assailant called out 'Where's Nancy!'

r95 short window to check for socials. the nutter types tend to publically id themselves.

r107 she had another estate, larger estate... loony laura did a video, there was a thread on here a few years ago and her or other media trolls, tried to get alleged illegals to setup a gazebo or something in her yard?

He walked around the Castro area nude to protest gentrifying straights living there.

So he’s gay? Richard Grennell?

R115 WE KNOW

r113 male radical feminist proving he wasn't trans and suspecting all those that were clothed to be trans.

An election denier and follower of my pillow guy, definitely right wing conspiracy loon.

That’s what it sounds like R112. Of course the Twitter army is already saying he doesn’t appear to be conservative.

It needs to be shoved down these fuckers’ throats that is is QAnon lunacy. Same as MTG, same as Boebert, same as Trump.

couldn't find the thread but found a clip of the video

remember this one:

San Francisco is cold and clammy, anyone who walks around nude there is pretty tough... or crazy... or high

A Castro nudist who is a friend of Scott Weiner. Great

R5 of course she does. Nancy is a gazillionaire and has 24 hour armed security - no way I believe this story.

It’s just an attempt to salvage the midterms - let’s make them feel like Nancy is under attack by some trump supporter. Paul probably got a few scratches and is having an old cyst removed by his hairline that became inflamed as I type - brain surgery you know ..

Bitch, please.

No one seemed to care when protestors were out stalking and threatening Supreme Court judges - they didn’t want them having security

But I’m sure Nancy, Paul and their portfolios have ensured their homes are always protected with armed guards

Like ANTIFA, R3?

[quote]Right wing media is going to try to paint David DePape as a left wing extremist because he's from Berkeley, but one look at his Wordpress shows he's clearly been radicalized by the right.

So is your Q-like belief that the police are colluding with Nancy, R126, or that they're too stupid to recognize an obvious set-up?

@r126, What a bunch of out your ass shit. No one has harmed any SCOTUS Judge, but Paul Pelosi got beat up. You dumb fucking troll

Brief SFPD press release says that when police arrived at 2:30 a.m they saw the hammer in Paul Pelosi's hand and the attacker grabbed it from him and began hitting Pelosi. They tackled the attacker and brought both of them to the hospital. Suspect is charged with attempted homicide, some other shit, and elder abuse.

I really don’t think this was staged. It’s sad.

And only a few hours ago I had an idiot here whine at me that they were voting Republican because 'crime is out of control'. Yeah, the QAnon MAGAt loons..

Am I the only one who, when they heard “Castro nudist,” immediately wondered why people would be nude for Fidel Castro?

DePage's social media trail has lots of antisemitic, the elites are trying to kill us, craziness. The guy is closer to Kanye West and the Christian-Nationalist fascists than leftwing ideas. But, face it, he's crazy. And America gets tortured into more craziness day by day by the avalanche of disinformation. The Right immediate has the clean up ready... "it's a set up!" "The Leftist godless communists made this fake news to get sympathy." And the sheep immediately hew to the talking points.

There is no truth anymore... we are lost, lost in the wilderness.

Bless your heart, r126, you're new at trolling, aren't you?

“David dePappe, a hemp jewelry maker and father figure who will double as best man” from the article above.

Yes, Nancy Pelosi is so invested in the midterms she got a loon to hit her husband multiple times with a hammer to the extent he needed surgery. R126 you sound like a loon yourself.

r112 I think I found some his details. older shit.

yeah, hippie burnout with mental health issues

@r135, Yes, dear, as always you're the only one 🙄

[quote]I really don’t think this was staged. It’s sad.

No rational person would think this was staged, r132.

[quote] Brief SFPD press release says that when police arrived at 2:30 a.m they saw the hammer in Paul Pelosi's hand and the attacker grabbed it from him and began hitting Pelosi.

Typical Berkeley Castro nudist.. Even relies on welfare to get his hammer.

Home invasions are big business in California. Nancy's chickens come home to roost

Naked chickens in this case

[quote]Am I the only one who, when they heard “Castro nudist,” immediately wondered why people would be nude for Fidel Castro?

Yes.

R142 Our quandary is there are so very few rational people left.

Trick gone wrong?

r142 If you're a rational person, then why are you here?

This really isn’t funny. More right wing insanity. Who one of them will attack next is anyone’s guess.

For r135, Castro nudist 😂

Yep, r136.

[quote]Nancy's chickens are coming home to roost!!

This, r143, is why we are so thoroughly fucked. Everything always, always about "owning" the other side.

I am 72, burned my Twitter account yesterday. Am ready to spend my golden years on the deck reading Louise Gluck and never, ever letting any media, social or otherwise, to filter the beautiful world god/goddess/Life has given us.

Did he wear a trump hat r148?

R147

Yes, well, exactly.

I remain, R152. God luv ya all!

The trolls are going into overdrive. They’ll be gone November 9.

Does anybody believe she stays at that house more than one or two nights a year? I’m sure she stays at one of the Napa mansions when she’s in CA.

Freepers are nuts

It seems Mr. Depape was a regular troll on indybay in the comments and occasionally a subject in their articles about local nudists

r143 is a troll, r151. Put him on Ignore.

r133

“My daughter Inti had a stroke and nearly died 10 days ago. She took a dirty ecstasy pill that was laced with fentanyl.”

r133

All I’m doing is stating the obvious

Nancy and Paul have 24 he security whether you choose to believe it or feed into this obvious desperate attempt at victimhood to salvage the midterms - is up to you.

There are a lot of intellectually challenged posters on datalounge that choose to believe every story Fed to them despite its obvious holes.

A right wing extremist at Berkeley?

Sure, Jan.

R162 you seem to have all the insidery information. Is it true that the Windsors are lizard people?

@r155, "Does anybody believe she stays at that house more than one or two nights a year? "

Maybe she lives in New Jersey like Oz, or Virginia like Josh Hawley, asshole troll

A 2013 article in the San Francisco Chronicle mentions Depape, although his name is spelled wrong. It describes him as a “hemp jewelry maker.” That article reported that Depape was the best man at the naked wedding of Gypsy Taub.

R162 Which is why the police immediately came while Paul was lying on the floor, bloodied and knocked out.

Rule #1 for our mental health. Don't get our "truth" from our regular poisoned sources.

R163 Have you been paying attention? Have you even been to Berkeley recently? The far left, antisemitic, anti-elitist crackpots are on Qanon websites and many are totally MAGA. Glenn Greewald is now a regular visitor to Tucker Carlson. The world has changed in the past five years.

Rue #2: Keep up.

A drugged out hippie and right wing extremist all into one

Does that article say anything about how he voted for Romney?

Absolutely agree R122! The hippie/wellness/hotep (right wing) fringe has flown under the radar for too long.

R140 “find god” and become hateful conspiracist … checks out.

Article Posted at r168

So a confirmed Republican then!

R168 Brilliant scholarship has tracked the current right wing authoritarian insanities back through Newt and nutcases in congress in the 90s to the greed-is-good Reaganites to 70s drugs and to 60s challenge the norms for your own personal pleasures hippiedom.

Sad, but convincing.

He’s got that kiwi stuff on his Twitter

So. When Nancy is not home they just leave the front screen door open.?

Lol Ya’ll are so stupid

Sounding more and more like he was a trumpster

@r176, Is Twitter still a thing?

I heard the attacker was in DC on J6. Anyone else see that?

R179 My last post on this thread: you with Twitter profiles, burn them. Get off. Don't blow oxygen on the fire.

Last year, David DePape posted links on his Facebook page to multiple videos produced by My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell falsely alleging that the 2020 election was stolen. Other posts included transphobic images and linked to websites claiming Covid vaccines were deadly.

“The death rates being promoted are what ever ‘THEY’ want to be promoted as the death rate,” one post read. DePape also posted links to YouTube videos with titles like “Democrat FARCE Commission to Investigate January 6th Capitol Riot COLLAPSES in Congress!!!”

On a WordPress blog, Depape ranted about censorship by the “elites” and “ruling class.” He also appears to have a website that reads “da Jews.” Sixteen hours ago, he posted the headline, “Why Colleges are becoming Cults.”

In another post, he wrote, “The more Ukrainians die NEEDLESSLY the cheaper the land will be for Jews to buy up.” His website has posts on pedophiles, aliens, COVID, Communism, what he called “climate hysteria” and more.

Something’s going on here…I call shenanigans…

R185 sometimes the only shenanigans are in your little mind.

Wow, so your average everyday Republican, got it

What does r168 have to do with this incident

It's all a little "too on the nose", using the current favored phrase. My bet is on a third party hellbent on stirring the pot.

Apparently a native of Canada.

R79 "Nancy Pelosi says ..." sounds as if it was up for debate.

He also wanted Trump to name Tulsi Gabbard as his VP. Then he posted pictures of gas chambers. He is a classic right-wing conspiracy theorist loon.

^ So, a blue check ☑️ Elon Musk Twitter member

Ewww

Damn, what a goblin!

Wait, he's a Canadian complaining about America?

Like tesla and PayPal complain about America?

Dude, just leave.

1. He was tapped to be the best man in a 2013 nudist wedding at San Francisco City Hall. David DePape was known as a “father figure” in a three-bedroom Victorian flat in Berkeley, where famed nudist activist Gypsy Taub lived with her three children and fiance Jaymz Smith prior to the wedding she had planned to hold on the steps of City Hall.

The couple had tapped DePape, a hemp jewelry maker who lived with them in the crowded home, to be their best man.

2. He listed himself as a member of the Green Party. Voting records show DePape listed himself as a member of the Green Party years ago.

3. He kept a blog with screeds about “the ruling class” and other conspiracy theories. “The elites/ruling class never censor themselves,”DePape wrote in a WordPress blog he apparently maintained and kept updating through August 28 — the date of the last post. With the domain “ godisloving.wordpress.com ” and banner “Welcome to Big Brothers Censorship Hell,” the blog, which lists DePape as an author, is larded with conspiracy theories about elites — including government officials, tech companies and media outlets — who he accuses of censorship.

It includes a series of entries with headlines that invoke conservative beliefs or conspiracy theories promoted in far-right circles. On Aug. 25, DePape created posts with such headlines as “Communist Voodoo science” and “Feminist gets owned.”

A post on Aug. 25 titled “The woke are Racists with a guilty conscience” has no text or links in the body.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Miss Lindzebelle chimes-in of course.

^ Twitter? Is that like MySpace?

David DePape is already being painted as a far left radical because he lived in Berkeley.

Reddit has his digital footprint and social media posts and it’s Crystal clear he was radicalized by the QANON MAGA cult.

Don’t be fooled by the distractions. He’s exactly who we thought.

He posts videos from the MyPillow guy. Dude's not a liberal.

r201 thin line for people in Berkeley.

If anything you've show the gqp another population they can try to recruit

Word salad r203.

R203 is a racist sack of shit troll.

[quote]B-but the crime wave is all fiction!

You mean just like "real" Republicans had nothing to do with attacking the capital police and smearing their human shit all over the walls?

R27 You don't get to use this attempted murder to do Republican propaganda when the assailant was inspired by GOP rhetoric, you stupid pederast.

MSNBC reports that Mr. Pelosi is still in surgery, and Nancy and the couple's five kids are en route to San Francisco.

[quote] [R67] ??? I thought certain senators had secret service protection. I think you are mistaken.

[quote] "The Speaker of the House is not a Secret Service protectee," US Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi wrote in an email, adding that all other questions about Pelosi's protection should be directed to the US Capitol Police.

Isnt it funny how FOX is the only network that has blocked all of their YouTube links to this topic so their flock cant self incriminate? They know how nasty their sheeple really are.

That does not sound good r208. An 82 year old, no matter what, is fragile. If anyone thinks this was planned for sympathy, they need their head examined.

Horrendous. Paul is not going to make a full recovery despite news reports that claim he will. His skull was fractured and he's had brain surgery today to remove shards. Poor guy.

Yeah, that's not good. If he got hit in the head with the hammer before it got taken away as the articles describe, you only need one good blow to kill someone. Repugs have blood on their hands for pushing all this conspiracy shit. And they have been doing it long before Trump. Specially at Pelosi.

Buy. Guns.

America is on the verge of a civil war. Democracy is at stake and people don't FUCKING get it. This is Trump and Elon's fascist America now.

Vote like your life depends on it - it does.

Antifa did it!

can we all F&F the sack of shit right wing troll so we at least get a little respite from it?

So this dude appears to be an old-school crunchy granola hippie turned rabid MAGA lunatic?

Wonder how many of those are out there these days?

Jesus, I don't know how Nancy carries on with all this bullshit. Now it's turned very personal.

Never stop, Nancy!

Maga is responsible for this

We are not discussing all that.

Suspect David DePape identified in nudist Gypsy Taub wedding —

Instructions from the mother ship

r229 No, just tired of this idea that antisemitism is strictly right. berkeley has a long history of it from the left side. It's that kind of blindness that enables it to flourish and often lead to people becoming radicalized, and does lead to risk of people becoming far right, especially the emotionally disturbed, such as this individual. which if the other data coming out is to be believed is all over the map. he supports black israelites, kanye, nazism, socialism, russia, trump, tulsi gabbard, lsd - really a large range of rave drugs - big burning man fanatic, claims to be anti christian but believes in a psychedelic jesus and pseudo science seeped in a massive lack of understanding of quantum physics.

r229 if you haven't already, should explore various wayback captures of his site

R214, the only reason Paul Pelosi is still alive is because no guns were present.

The troll at R235 is desperately trying to distract us from the MAGA/QAnon attack on Paul Pelosi. Talking about shit that has nothing to do with the attack on Pelosi.

R107, haha good point.

A MAGA terrorist tried to assassinate the Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives and second person in line to the Presidency. It’s time for some god damn accountability for January 6th @TheJusticeDept .

What is a Castro nudist? Aren't nudist usually left wing?

Now it is clear this is an assassination attempt on Speaker Pelosi, not a home invasion as the OP framed it.

CNN: Paul Pelosi was able to call 911 at the start of the attack at his home in San Francisco.

Pelosi managed to keep the line open and the dispatcher could hear a conversation in the background.

Pelosi was talking in code, providing enough detail so that the operator overhearing it could understand that something was wrong. At the same time Pelosi seemed to be trying not to make it obvious to the intruder that he had an open line.

Nancy needs to go on TV and call out MAGA and FOX News directly. And then she needs to praise the Capitol Police who provide her security, and remind everyone how Congressional Republicans do not support those police.

Biden, Harris, Pelosi. Harris is "1st in line", correct? Pelosi is "2nd in line".

Why do I see twats twitting all over social media saying Pelosi is "3rd in line".

BIDEN IS NOT IN LINE. HE IS POTUS!

R245 autistic spectrum?

[quote]Suspect David DePape identified in nudist Gypsy Taub wedding

But nudity is un-Christlike and unsanitary!

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin appeared to make light of the violent attack on Paul Pelosi during a campaign stop for GOP congressional candidate Yesli Vega on Friday, using the occasion to take a dig at Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “There’s no room for violence anywhere, but we’re going to send her back to be with him in California,” Youngkin said. “That's what we’re going to go do.”

I hear he’s still in surgery and it’s taking longer than they thought it would.

Yesterday Marjorie Taylor Greene posted: "Just wait until tomorrow."

Retweet if you think the FBI needs to investigate if MTG knew about the attack on Speak Pelosi and her husband.

R248 Yeah, good luck with that 'Glenn Youngkin' when Nancy Pelosi got a massive 55.2% lead over her next opponent at the last election....

Marjorie Taylor Greene was the pipe bomber, right?

No, this was not a home invasion and the result of woke political policy encouraging recidivism.

It is an assassination attempt on Speaker Pelosi by antivax, procovid, election denying magats.

This is the October Surprise we needed. This will help Democrats. People know this is MAGA and these extremist candidates need to be shut out.

The way the op framed it, Pelosi got beat up just a bit by some rough trade.

It turns out he was beaten in the head with a hammer and has been in surgery for hours to save his life.

This is an assassination attempt on Speaker Pelosi.

[quote]Marjorie Taylor Greene was the pipe bomber, right?

Yes, and Merrick Garland needs to have the hideous fucking cunt arrested.

The new GOP:

The party that MILLIONS of Americans with severe, untreated mental illnesses, along with various personality disorders, flock to INSTANTLY, instead of working their shit out with licensed and experienced mental health professionals.

R255 I wrote the headline 22 mins after the story broke when there were no details. It was not a deliberate attempt to mislead. Rather a quick reference to Nancy wanting to punch out Trump during the insurrection. Now, unclench. Or, start your own fucking thread.

Lol @ R4's "making the papers yet" comment.

Maga wants civil war.

Maga wants martial law.

Maga wants the United States under martial law.

Maga wants citizens to die from preventable diseases by permitting preventable disease to rip throughout the country.

@r258, Did you ever notice that there are a lot of people on DL that hold the bearer of the news as the person who actually made and reported the news?

Well R261, information literacy is not high on DL. And there are lots of cranks. I can be pretty cranky myself. But I didn't write this thread to mislead. I guess I should have tried to be funny.

Besides having low reading skills (see the current Working Girl thread), many DLers are straightforward and do not pick up much in terms of irreverent throwaway references to the zeitgeist, satire, role plays, etc. I guess we need a lot of sincere dull types to keep the world in balance.

I mean that sincerely.

Assailant at nude wedding.

@r262, Don't I know it. Don't ever try subtle sarcasm you will be crucified within an inch of your life

It's very sad that this kind of injury is part of the October surprise. I feel very sorry about this. So stupid.

Does anyone know if he ever attended a nude wedding?

Was he attacked with a hammer? I read that on Daily Mail? If so, that is very serious.

Would you rather Harris be in charge??

I don't know that I would "rather" r269, but I certainly wouldn't mind that tragic outcome.

[quote] Would you rather Harris be in charge??

Kamala is why the scare-talk about republicans impeaching Bidden is just noise.

The GOP lie machine from Rush Limbaugh straight through to QAnon sure has fucked this country up. Sad that there are that many dim bulbs like this sap out there to lap it all up. It’s not going to get better. Humans are devolving away from rational thought back to superstition and magical thinking. Not just the US but the world is pivoting. What an interesting time to be alive.

May you live in interesting times.

The Guardian is reporting that Paul Pelosi's surgery has been successful according to a spokesperson for Nancy Pelosi.

What a relief.

The sky was so blue today.

[quote]Was he attacked with a hammer? I read that on Daily Mail?

Ok, lesson 1: Do not get your news from the Daily Mail! Seriously. They are a freaky right-wing news organization. You might as well read that crazy Moonie newspaper.

I feel sorry for their children. One of my worst fears is someone breaking into my parents home and assaulting them.

CNN: Two blogs written by a user named “daviddepape” – the same name as the suspect in the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband – featured antisemitic screeds and QAnon-linked content in recent weeks, including videos that involved Pelosi.

The content resembles posts from last year on DePape’s Facebook page, which was verified by two relatives. CNN was not able to confirm that the blogs were written by DePape.

One of the blogs, which has dozens of posts attributed to “daviddepape” in recent weeks, posted several videos supporting the QAnon conspiracy theory. One of the videos includes a shot of Pelosi swinging a gavel during one of former President Donald Trump’s impeachment proceedings, and another includes an image of Pelosi and other politicians.

And yes, R276, he was attacked with a hammer.

MAGAts gonna MAGAt:

^ It sounds like Fox News is telling Biden to lock up all the right-wing criminals... Fine, do it, Joe

Did he even have a guard dog etc?

Trump is obsessed with destroying Pelosi. He's behind this, hidden behind his usual half-dozen proxies.

R284, of course Trump is behind this. He's been going on about her for years. He has embedded his hatred of her into the minds of his deplorables. And now MTG is following his lead.

I honestly can't believe this is happening in America. It just keeps getting more and more surreal.

We send our thoughts and prayers. Now I want to talk about how Democrats, and specifically Nancy Pelosi, are killing babies and destroying this country! We must eradicate them!

(But we're not advocating violence) *wink, wink*

They're filthy rich and they don't have better security than that? It's weird that the intruder didn't have a gun. Must be the only criminal in the United States who didn't have one.

Sharing from the other thread....why in God's name wasn't this house ALARMED within an inch of its life??!! My St Louis suburb has homes with alarms that would have been shrieking as soon as that window was touched!! And it's SAN FRANCISCO, for fuck's sake!!

Great that she has a personal security detail, but a motion detector type alarm that began shrieking as soon as that window was breached would sure have come in handy!! Especially with an 82 year old man AT HOME ALONE??!!

I ask again: WTF???!!!!

Green Party is about as far left as you can get.

Wow, the right wing trolls here are really trying hard to pretend this lunatic wasn't QAnon.

Unbelievable! I have no words. The crime wave is maga/republicans.

This is why decent registered republicans and independents have to vote for the Democratic Party.

The Republican Party is getting people seriously injured and killed.

Please Vote Blue!

Probably Covid-schizophrenic too. We can't deny the elephant in the room that Covid is having a deleterious effect on people with personality and psychiatric issues... who also won't vaccinate, and delve into the QAnon world.

They are exponentially more volatile and dangerous.

Need a guard dog in house. Pelosi family don’t seem the type to have pets.

R289 The world is flat (checks notes from conspiracy central), I know it for a fact, I saw it online!

^bump

Is this the main thread? Are there others?

His kids with that nudist whacko are named Daniel, Nebospod and Inti.

She must have been terrified, on the other coast and helpless.

I know, r298.

This is after she and chuck shummer were on the phone trying to get trump and the republicans to tell people to go home. Trump and republicans would not do it. Also, they wanted too Police teams and that was difficult to get too. You have to watch the entire January 6 hearings.

Watch the hearings!

"Nebosvod" is Russian for the word "firmament." Either the dippy nudies misspelled the kid's name, or the newspaper did when it wrote about them.

Paul Pelosi punched 911 into his phone to allow the respondent to listen to the chaos in his home. He did not speak with any one. He was too busy getting assaulted.

I'm sure that home has a security system. 82 year old Paul may have failed to turn it on before retiring for the night. People get complacent. Or perhaps it was a triggered alarm that alerted police.

This is awful. I know it is being said that he will recover fully but I don't believe it. There will be lasting effects like possible impaired speech , etc, depending on the areas of the brain injuries.

I forgive him for insider trading but what a price to pay

I visit a friend who volunteers for Dems in SF, and right after Trump was elected we were out walking and she showed me the Pelosi house. I was kind of shocked that it was such an accessible place. There were no guards, police cars or anyone I could see. I have no idea if Nancy was there, but at this point they should consider moving.

With all his money, why no body guard? It's not like they are a much beloved couple.

They are in their district. This all started with Dump.

can't believe the amount of people blaming the victim.

Karma......

R308 Go FUCK yourself, you right wing cunt...

[quote]His kids with that nudist whacko are named Daniel, Nebospod and Inti.

Holy Shit! those kids at r297 of his look like Manson Family.

If there is any Karma going on R308 the attacker just put another nail in the coffin of the GOP being anything other than a group of radical thugs, low IQ voters and conspiracy theorist. Guess who is going to jail over this? Karma indeed.

The Trump crimewave continues. He's Ex-President Mafia Don. All his "stand back and stand by" type dog whistles are all his insane followers need.

R311, they’re probably going to win the House and Senate. They already have the Supreme Court. Bottom line, this is working out for them. They never face real repercussions.

Pence couldn't even trust HIS OWN Secret Service on Jan 6th for fucks sake.

Even so, R313, that's not Karma, that the same old pattern that happens with every President for the last 30 years or so.

Pence is a pussy though. He had a moment of clarity, mostly to save himself. It just worked out that a side benefit is that it saved America from much worse outcome.

Trump has been after her for years. Jan 6th was close. Chilling. We have a murderous Don after Pelosi, women's rights and Democracy.

ANYONE who thinks there isn't more right-wing, white male violence and terrorism coming in the new few weeks is insane!

Trump has crafted and encouraged his brain dead, criminal followers to indulge their violent tendencies and they are happily obeying.

[quote]Nancy needs to pay for better security.

Of course you avoid diagnosing the obvious problem of right wing violence, instead blame the victims for not living in a safe room. You're a fucking loon.

Oh I am sure there will be more to come. Who's saying it's not? The question is in what form. People love to say "civil war" but that makes no sense since a real civil war was the northerner states against the southern states. America is not that cleanly divided by state. There will most likely be more low level random attacks like at a voting site or a state capital. Gun spray into a crowd of voters.

R320 you see an attack with a hammer to the head of the spouse of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives as “low level random”? Really?

How distinguished statesman Trump chooses to address this grotesquerie at his next gathering of civilised acolytes remains to be seen. I feel he's sure to find more of the right words to heal his troubled nation.

Trolls pointing to the nudity, hemp, and counterculture like it's somehow inimical to the far right couldn't be more mistaken. Take Roger Stone for instance.

[quote]Take Roger Stone for instance.

No thank you.

^^ The right has him, and they can keep him.

Why did the attacker use a hammer? Isn’t this pickaxe attack week?

He likes old folk singers like Peter, Paul and Mary

🎵 " If I had a hammer I'd hammer the Pelosis I'd hammer their heads all over this land... "🎵

Has OP ever been to San Francisco? This definitely does not qualify as "nuts". In SF, this kind of bedlam is what is accepted as "normal". Same goes for LA, Portland, and Seattle.

Gotta say, this is pretty sad. Everyone has a right to feel safe in their home.

Paul Pelosi had his wits about him during the attack.

Does Mr. Pelosi also speak Polari?

Oh if I had a hammer...

This is what Trump and his acolytes have wrought: inciting the craziest among their deplorable followers. What the hell do you think happened on Jan 6.

Thanks, r330, and the dispatcher immediately knew that it was a break-In. The police were there in two minutes. It sounds like the intruder was trying to tie up Pelosi so that he could wait for Nancy.

The right wing would love to paint a story that this was the left’s fault or Nancy Pelosi’s, but those damn facts got in the way again.

"Oh if I had a hammer... "

I'd whack his naked peepee until he screamed "I LOVE NANCY!" 😠

you're an humorless idiot r335.

^ And you are a cunt... What's your point?

I made my point. You're not funny. That is all.

R335, I’m not OP, but you need to up your bitchy humor game.

You girls who drink in the morning are always so much fun, go feed your cats and pour another one 🙄

Prepare for red tsunami. End of our country

^ And what country would that be, Boris?

Go back to bed, r341.

[QUOTE] That is all.

Gag.

Nancy has extensive private security, and there are always 2 men at the house and two who go with her. Where were they?

Red wave is coming . Brace

^ WITH NANCY... You dimbulb

With Nancy r345, as has been explained many, many times.

"Go with her" is the operative word R345. She wasn't home at the time.

Do try to keep up dear.

@r346, Jesus, Boris, working in that closet hiding from Putin's army has really lowered your game

The tinfoil theory that "this was a Grindr hookup gone awry" is pure homophobia. Paul Pelosi MUST be some kind of closet case because he's married to a powerful woman. The right wingers are so twisted to think up stuff like this. All of you trolls are the real closet cases--go to a glory hole and suck some cock, get it out of your system losers.

Make it Jungle Red, r346. Your trolling is subpar....you might want to try more stealth.

Time will Tell a week from Tuesday ☝🏼

And, r353, fat hips sink ships.

I pray all of those posters or trolls here saying midterms going to go red are fully wrong. I hope turn out is massive for the democrats- because these trolls are correct sadly- if people don’t vote blue America is done. Please vote!!!!!

PLUS TWO AT THE HOUSE you dimwits.

The house has an alarm system that alerts private security and the police immediately in addition.

The police statement did not mention a break in but he was charged with elder abuse, that charge is levied when a 'trusted person' treats and elder badly.

How was this guy a trusted person?

[quote] Why is she never with her husband

You’ll know when you’re her age & been married for decades. You don’t want to live together but there’s no point in getting divorced and getting all messed up financially.

Lived with the love of my life for over forty years until his death two years ago.

Still miss him with all of my heart.

Elders can also be abused by *non*trusted people as well, r356.

Stop lying r356, they're working on bringing multiple felony charges against DePape. We won't know the full list of charges until Tuesday at the arraignment.

I searched Google for [italic] david depape "trusted person" [/italic] and found nothing. R356 is full of it.

[quote]Police have arrested 42-year-old David Depape and intend to charge him with attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse and burglary in the early morning attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul.

R357, she's third in line to the presidency. She lives in one part of the country and works in another. And it's the midterms. She's a little busy. That has more to do with why they're not always together, don'tcha think?

^ She's 2nd in line 🙄

I meant third because I counted the President, the Vice President, and the Speaker as third in the line of succession. But yes, R364, of course that means she's second after the president.

[quote] You have no fucking idea what you are talking about R357. None whatsoever.

I have every fucking idea what I’m talking about as everyone I know in the elders is either divorced, widowed, living separate lives in the same house or one is taking care of the sick/demented one. Boner pill commercial couples don’t exist. Nancy & hubs are lucky enough to be able to afford separate places.

R366, you just said that because you've (supposedly) never seen it, it doesn't exist. Are you even aware of how dumb that is?

R366, are any of the people you know SECOND IN LINE TO THE PRESIDENCY?

George W referred to Nancy as “ number three .” They got along well

[quote]I have every fucking idea what I’m talking about as everyone I know in the elders is either divorced, widowed, living separate lives in the same house or one is taking care of the sick/demented one.

You need to know better elders.

Marge Sent Ominous Tweet Hours Before Violent Attack On Paul Pelosi:

Large Marge

That Georgia cunt was probably referring to when that rat Musk would take over Twitter and that the orange shitstain would be allowed back.

Historically, San Francisco has had a low crime rate for a city its size. It's only been in the last 10 years or so that the crime rate has increased.

The crime in SF is because of the incredible disparity of wealth. It will only get worse, no matter who the mayor is, unless the disparity is addressed.

R375 I think the disparity is being addressed, slowly, by 1) some of the very rich are leaving SF, 2) some of the sorta rich tech workers are leaving to "work" at home elsewhere (Vail, Hanalei, Austin, Lisbon), 3) the tech economy isn't shrinking, but it is leveling out a bit and 4) the out-of-control real estate market has screeched to a halt.

I live in the bay area, I love The City, I am NOT one of the cray cray "oh, communist pedos shit their fentanyl all over the crime-filled streets of SF!!" I am proud of CA, whose economy just this season passed Germany as the fourth largest in the world: but I think a strategic economic slow down, with the right social service safety net in place, might be for the common good.

A violent maga man broke into Nancy pelosi sf home at night to kill her. She was in dc. Her husband was there and was seriously injured by this violent maga.

Yes, r377, that's the point we are at in our political discourse.

Maga republicans seem to be okay with crime, including violent crime, if you read their posts and comments. Do NOT believe the republicans when they say they are tough on crime. They are actually pro crime.

If you want effective and sane policy against crime, vote Democratic Party.

F&F, R10. She was the only one to stand up to Trump. And, unlike you, she doesn't believe everything she hears.
