A CODEL or Congressional Delegation, is DC speak for a taxpayer funded vacation. Apparently, Nancy Pelosi fell down a marble staircase in front of all the lawmakers and dignitaries during an official visit at the Grand Duke’s palace in Luxembourg.
A
ccording to media in the region, she suffered a fractured hip. Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi, 84, was hospitalized while abroad on a congressional delegation, her office said on Friday.
[VIA ABC] – […] “While traveling with a bipartisan Congressional delegation in Luxembourg to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi sustained an injury during an official engagement and was admitted to the hospital for evaluation,” her spokesperson Ian Krager said in a statement.
“Speaker Emerita Pelosi is currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals,” the statement read. “She continues to work and regrets that she is unable to attend the remainder of the CODEL engagements to honor the courage of our servicemembers during one of the greatest acts of American heroism in our nation’s history.”
“Speaker Emerita Pelosi conveys her thanks and praise to our veterans and gratitude to people of Luxembourg and Bastogne for their service in World War II and their role in bringing peace to Europe,” Krager added. (read more)

Why am I not surprised Polly Pockets Johnson arranged this “bipartisan” soiree?
See, this is one reason it’s crazy to have politicians working into their late 70s, even 80s. Any average person of that age wouldn’t even think about walking up/down stairs without a lot of help and precautions. But politicians think that would make them look bad/weak so they keep right on motoring along until the inevitable happens. Whether you love the person or hate them… it’s just ridiculous for them to keep on pretending.
(Edit: Of course this doesn’t apply to Trump/Batman 😏)
According to your edit, it suggests you realize not everyone is the same as they “age.” I don’t know what the answer is, but we can clearly see the difference between an energetic and mentally sharp Donald Trump, and some of the other geriatric office-holders who have no business representing us.
No Alcohol drugs or smoking big difference
I was going to say the same thing .
My Grandmother took the ferry to NYC then walked to the Twin Towers five days a week ,
wearing a skirt suit and three inch heels until she was seventy five years young.
The thing that ended her career ? Her boss died .
Then she lived a very active life dancing ,bike riding etc. until
she was 97 and fell and broke her hip , in her home while wearing sneakers .
Still lived until one month before her 100th birthday
No alcohol , no drugs, not even prescribed and no evil thoughts as fa as I knew .
Still miss her everyday .
“Any average person of that age”.
President Trump looks where he’s putting his feet.
So do I!
I’m 67 and couldn’t keep up with DT.
Yep I quickly realized my little oops. 😏
.
This mental midget (Pelosi) is always clacking around in high heel shoes.
High heel shoes + polished marble staircase = Full-blown ’Idiocracy’ on display
I’ve been waiting for her to take a tumble in those shoes. The ones she had on in the group picture were stilettos.
Ridiculous choice of footwear for an old lady.
Took the words right out of my mouth Sherri! Vanity, thy name is woman…
Nancy Pelosi’s lucky shoes
By CAITLIN MCDEVITT
06/28/2012 02:09 PM EDT
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is wearing her lucky shoes today.
Pelosi slipped on the same pair of pointy-toe lavender heels that she wore when President Barack Obama’s health care law passed two years ago.
They’re her “lucky purple pumps,” an aide, who wasn’t sure of the brand, said.
Pelosi has been known to wear shoes from designers like Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo, so it’s safe to say they’re not from Payless.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Looks like Nancy’s luck ran out.
I haven’t worn high-heels since my back injury – certainly not my gorgeous stilettos.
Damn shame too, as my legs would still look great in them! 🙁
I picture you in bright red 4″ stilettos PJ! 😀
Maybe 25 years ago, I drove a bus to take seniors to see Phyllis Diller. She was near 80 at the time, and she RAN up the stairs to the stage in her famous white high-heel gogo boots. 🙂
She says there were two old ladies sitting on a park bench, when a flasher came by.
The one old lady had a stroke.
The other one couldn’t quite reach it.
😀
Worthy
Yes, Phyllis was a class act – and she rocked those high heels and mini-dress into her 80’s!
I seem to recall that Fang was her biggest fan.
that made me laugh as much as I did when I read this headline about Pelosi falling down!
Such a claim calls for a picture. Or three.
PLUS VODKA!
high heel shoes +polish marble staircase +VODKA=SOTH on display
She died with her stillettos on!
They will probably wheel her around in a wheel chair. The hip fracture won’t kill her but if she doesn’t get up and move, she’ll have trouble.
Mitch Mc Turtle also fell last week
The good thoughts are working! (Bad Puddy……)
As a old hospital worker that has witnessed these things: Patients who imbibe go into withdrawal 72 hours after being ‘dry.’ They can be a HANDFUL. This is not medical advice and I AM NOT A DOCTOR.😏😏😏😏😎
She is getting the good drugs for her pain.
I don’t know about Germany but in our war on opioids, Hospitals in my area are stingy and give Tylenol for hip surgery. Let Granny suffer, wouldn’t want to get her addicted. The streets are full of drugs but the ones who need them are denied…Excuse my rant..
In that case, we’re gonna need our “visiting angels” to be at least 6’6″ !💪🏻💪 💪🏻
We used to hang banana bags to keep the alcoholics from going into the DTs.
One liter IV fluid with multivitamins including B-12 + extra B-1 + extra folic acid + magnesium sulfate administered over 24 hours.
Wow! In my day,we just took the call light away..then prayed for the next shift to hurry up and come in…
This week.
Our guy is showing physical signs of aging too. Have you noticed that he’s bent over at the shoulders and neck? Compare to 4 four years ago. I notice these things as I am only a few years younger than he.
Being on a cell phone all the time will do that, it’s a new condition. Carpal tunnel too.
And he always looks so tired. I wonder how much rest he gets.
The great thing is the Democrats now loose a vote in the House because they can no longer call it in. I hope this is the end of her corrupt career, but as the saying goes, “The good die young”.
Broken hip at 84. She doesn’t have a rosy outlook.
But aren’t we glad her spokesman said she was still working😂
If Pelosi is still working after her recent stumble? it would only be to ensure the “wrap-up smear” and subsequent sequestration of that patsy Luigi Mangione continued, and also to ensure her stock calls on Palo Alto Networks become memory-holed as in “nothing to see anywhere” re Pelosi’s remarkable avocation and uncanny “luck” as an amateur stock trader.

On her vodka bottle!
This is true.
Most people go downhill very fast at that age from an injury like that.
My Grandmother did, sadly she gave up after that.
I am surprised she only broke her hip.
we will never know…
“One in three adults aged 50 and over dies within 12 months of suffering a hip fracture. Older adults have a five-to-eight times higher risk of dying within the first three months of a hip fracture compared to those without a hip fracture. This increased risk of death remains for almost ten years.”
I’m not sure about it is the end… Remember how they paraded Justice Ruth Ginsberg and Senator Feinstein in their sarcophagus?
LOL… and true!
Remember John Lewis?
Saint George Floyd?
They were telling people to cower in their houses then made exceptions while they paraded dead bodies in coffins around to multiple memorial services.
Thurmond and Byrd were held up by Popsicle sticks w/wheels.
That has to be an uncomfortable way to be a sockpuppet.
They will haul her in on a gurney.
Remember when that witch was standing behind Trump at the State of The Union and started ripping up his speech. Hideous!
The Republicans should have at least called for a vote to censure her for ripping up the speech, but instead now call her “Speaker Emerita”. The stupid and weak Republicans.
Wilful destruction of federal property.
Sounds more significant than some January 6 charges.
Never forget that with Judus Pence sitting right next to her in a front row seat watching her
Judas Pence did and said nothing! I bet he said to himself she beat me to it!
Just stood there with that stupid Cheshire cat grin….A pox on him.
There’s something very dark about that creep.
He, Pence, claimed not to have seen her do so! Right.
“The vice president also acknowledged that he did not witness Pelosi rip the speech despite being positioned next to her, rather he heard about it moments later”.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2602680/dishonored-the-moment-pence-slams-pelosi-for-ripping-trump-state-of-the-union-speech/
!
Absolutely. Unforgivable And they say Trump lacks decorum. F her. She gets what she deserves.
I sure hope everyone didn’t see her underwear when she fell.
Depends….
^ I’m sure Pelosi will be pampered in hospital.
🙂
Now Remington, that perfect and pithy comment is what I would call WORDMAN Worthy – I found myself looking back up to check the name!
🙂
Just an average, garden variety drunk.
absolutely
Ok, thanks for that. You have removed my guilt for cracking a smile when I heard the news.
It will be hard to miss her.
“Hideous!”
No. I would call it glorious. As the saying goes, “when someone tells you who they are, believe them.” Right there, in front of the nation, she put her true identity on full display. The mask didn’t slip. It went crashing to the floor.
With a thunderous “klunk” !
What goes around…..comes to mind.
Awwwww……
Apparently, Nancy will do anything for attention….
Balance is important. 😉
I hope someone pushed her and too bad it wasn’t her neck that broke.
Now, now.
My thoughts exactly!
Another government waste program that DOGE should cancel – immediately! Congress people should be ashamed of themselves for taking such trips on the taxpayer’s dollar. What a joke!!
They should be ashamed to take a salary. Be a “public servant” and volunteer.
They have the opportunity to grift gazallions along the way and enjoy insider trading. Those perks should be enough!
Yes!
Those 3 martini lunches take a toll
Dear Nancy
Heels and Whiskey is a country song, not a lifestyle choice of a 84 year old woman.
Is she a known boozer like Kamala? We know her husband likes to sample their Vinyard, but does she?
Are you kidding?
She could float the Russian economy singlehandedly with her habit!
VODKA – GREY GOOSE –
The House ” LIQUOR LOCKER ” Came into Existence during HER Speakership
https://thehouse.misofi.net/menugrid.asp?mode=p&a=13&cg=22&intOrderID=&intCustomerID=
I remember reading the liquor bills for her trips from CA to DC amounted to thousands of dollars, along with the bills for fresh flowers.
I have vague recollections of the stories she would fly our military jets for her personal transport back and forth to DC from Cali w/a well stocked liquor cabinet on the plane.
Why are congressional representatives traveling on the government dole to foreign nations? They are supposed to be representing people in their district. I hope DOGE stops this.
I remember when they were all on buses headed to a US Airbase to get on military-provided flights to Europe and PresTrump cancelled their flights while they were still on the bus
That’s how I remember it, can’t be troubled to look it up again
But it was good for laughs, as I remember
That was the funniest thing ever her and shifty left on the Tarmac and**** McDonalds troll
Good times
I thought of that today as she was obviously out on another government paid vacation. If she didn’t hate Trump before getting humiliated on the tarmac she sure did after that. And look at the result of Nancy’s revenge – the rat party is in tatters.
OT, but other government paid vacations I’m reminded of is pictures of Hils and Chels riding elephants somewhere and sitting on a bench in front of the Taj Mahal. Also when Hils was at the China Wall, we had to pay for the trailer for her personal porta potty. Moo!chelle had nice vacations also – shopping trips with dozens of friends, lodging always included the most expensive rooms available, rented floors at a time.
I too remember and it was AWESOME!!
In my picture file is a picture of the steps up to the plane and possibly the luggage on the tarmac.
Christmas shopping on the taxpayer’s dime since the trip is under the cover of a government function so all travel expenses are covered by us. Luxembourg Christmas shopping. Very ritzy stores there. The other politicians in that delegation should each and every one be primaried in 2026.
Remember when all the Dim caucus went to Puerto Rico when they were gonna get billions in “hurricane relief money”, and to watch that absurd Hamilton Play?
Same reason they went to Ukraine .. To arrange their share of the grift outside of traceable communications, that’s all.
photos showed the US group all with a glass in their hands
https://www.instagram.com/p/DDhLFX_otI7/?img_index=6
one more – with my eyesight I was thinking ‘what the heck are they all displaying the same hand signals?’ — ha ha ha, only to realise they were all glass in their hands.
https://www.instagram.com/p/DDhLFX_otI7/?img_index=3
Looks like Susan Collins already fell and smashed up her face.
Checking out the photos . . . wondering if any of those Congress Critters are wondering how they could leverage NATO to supplant the government of Luxembourg without bombing it so they could take over that nice place.
In the group photo here, on the staircase, she’s gripping the hand of the man next to her, it very much looks like he’s holding her up. This doesn’t look like hand holding, he’s got her by the arm.
Take a look at this.
After seeing that, it’s clear that she’s in worse shape than we know, no wonder she fell down the stairs.
Could be the angle, but the left foot sure looks swollen, weird how she is holding on to the leg. I wonder if the photo was pre or post fall? At first the reports she fell but wasn’t injured.
That’s interesting. I thing I see my Republican congressman standing in the back of the pack.
Think about the sacrifice in the Ardennes just so these clowns can shop 80 years later. Heart breaking.
Luxembourg = Tax Haven for the Rich…..
that’s is why they are there
David: Yup. Meet with Luxembourg investment advisors, set up accounts and park your money.
What a contrast … P. Trump STILL not taking a salary, and these grifters who not only aren’t satisfied w/their great salary + staff + expense accounts + campaign donations + insider trading worth millions, but now they have to get their foreign aid kickbacks & secret bank accounts in a money-laundering haven!
WHAT A CONTRAST!
Where dark money has always gotten laundered. Hospital stay might be long enough for Pelosi to set up a Luxembourg residency – and apply for asylum.
After what Janet Yellen just said, they need to make sure things are all set- with their own money.
Bye Nancy
Lord forgive me but I laughed like the Grinch at that woman’s misfortune. May her recovery be long and painful or just short and not at all.
Dear Karma,
Thank you.
The comments at ZeroHedge are merciless:

They sure didn’t refrain. LOL!
I am just sorry she won’t be able to feel the torture of Trump being our president. I know how irksome it is to her he won.
Thank You… Marble Steps.
hee hee and high heels … notice the other women had on flats
Her vanity was her undoing.

Surely, Nanzi has not forgotten about the sit-in protest at her suite of offices in 2018. AOC was loud and proud and there. IMO, AOC threw down her marker on Nanzi’s territory in that incident. In no way should we expect Nanzi to boost along AOC’s congressional career.

Tick tock until ding dong…
Karma….?
Why no video???
Did she fall and break her hip or did her hip break so she fell?
a lifetime of booze dissolving her bones causing the break, which causes the fall
Suspect the latter. Daily alcohol dosing does a number on osteoporotic bones in the elderly finally. The bones do weaken first and then “the fall”. Few want to even mention this long known fact.
That’s my question too.
Golly!
She was drunk no doubt. That plus the covid vaccines.
The Biden admin has issued COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers a “pre-emptive pardon” for alleged injuries through 2029.
Biden HHS Extends Covid Vaccine Liability Shield Through 2029
https://news.bloomberglaw.com/health-law-and-business/biden-hhs-extends-covid-vaccine-liability-shield-through-2029
I would bet big money that Pelosi and many who tried to MANDATE the vaccines never took them themselves
I think that top photo looks like she had a stroke.
Pelosi fall down and go ‘boom’!
Frequently the weak hip bone breaks first, which then causes the fall.
Gravity always wins.
PELOSI CRYING
Well placed sources say the former Speaker has been in great distress since fracturing her hip. ‘She’s been unconsolable and just wants to go home.’
PELOSI IN SEVERE PAIN:
According to hospital sources ‘she is in extreme discomfort and has been crying non-stop since the injury.’ [Developing]
PELOSI BLOOD CLOT FEARS:
Doctors caring for the former Speaker following her serious fall are taking all precautions. ‘She has extensive bruising as well as a fracture which could bring about life threatening complications. [Developing]
NANCY UNABLE TO RETURN HOME :
According to foreign sources Pelosi is stuck in Luxemburg following a bad fall. ‘She”s not a candidate for travel for the foreseeable future.’ [Developing] ‘
PELOSI UNLIKELY TO WALK AGAIN:
Suffers serious hip fracture after tumbling down marbled staircase. Is I Luxemburg for battle of the Bulge commemorations. [Developing]
DOCTORS GIVE NANCY GRIM PROGNOSIS:
According to inside sources Pelosi is battling a series of serious conditions. Hospital staff have been informed to protect her privacy to the utmost. [Developing]
https://nitter.poast.org/iSource_news
Maybe Pres Trump will fly Trump Force 1 to retrieve her…yes?
Yes he will. BUT… it won’t be available until 2034….
hell..o NO
When my father-in-law was in Mexico and needed to get home to Minnesota quickly the doctors said he could not fly due to the heightened possibility/probability of blood clots breaking free and killing him inflight.
That’s why I believe Nancy is “stuck” in Luxemburg.
Getting a plane isn’t the problem, but flying on one for Nancy is.
Welp…..Stuff her below decks on the next cargo ship heading west. See ya in about a month there, Nanc…….
Will she be in a box in the cargo hold?
Sounds more like it, than the crap they are feeding us here.
She probably won’t get a get well card from Biden after forcing him from the race.
If the medical professionals in Luxembourg are smart, they’ll find a way to ship their problem outta there.
Wray already has a job as Apple security? Nitter certainly has lots of news. I have not been to that site before.

CODEL? I remember when they used to call them “junkets”
I concur with Right to reply.
A fractured hip at 84 is not good at all.
Motion is lotion and there’s not a lot of motion in her future.
Anybody believe this has anything to do w/WWII vets? Lets hope she is better in time to stand trial.
Exactly.
collecting grift
only time will tell if she whacked her bean
She can rehab on Jeni’s Ice Cream.
I’ll mail her some…
The greatest risk to the elderly is falling down. Using handrails on stairs is mandatory. Watching where you place your feet is mandatory. When you are 30 and fall down, you just get up again. When you are 70, 80, or 90, it’s a different story.
Donald Trump knows this… he ALWAYS uses handrails on stairs and ramps. His first wife, Ivanna, DIED from a fall inside her apartment… nobody knows exactly how, or whether she was using the handrail, but evidently she did not have her phone with her, or she had it but when she fell, it dropped to a position out of her reach, so she was unable to call for help… she probably suffered terribly for hours before dying. When help finally arrived because people were unable to reach her and she didn’t answer her door, it was too late.
I can’t stand Nancy. She loves to be in the limelight. I suppose it’s her karma that she took this fall, on MARBLE stairs no less, while she was in the limelight. She has certainly caused massive suffering and death on many innocent Americans. God has just spoken to her (yelled at her, actually). She is Catholic. I pray she gets the message!
She will be convalescing for a while, and this should balance Matt’s resignation. Make good use of this, Mr. Speaker!
Have developed a superstition when older people fall; had two good friends that fell and broke their hip (in different years) and both were deceased within the year;
don’t like that I was happy to hear she broke her hip, but, well, there it is and guess time will tell if that new superstition has merit.
Maybe Ivana’s ghost pushed her.
Ivana still loved and respected him after all those crappy years. Funny, all three of his wives and their mothers came to his first inauguration.
Ivana’s mother Babi is 98 yrs old and lives with Ivanka and her family.
Alcohol causes osteoporosis by that age.
But alcohol is also very protective against sarcopenia in elderly alcoholics above age 60.
“alcohol consumption in participants aged 60 years and older decreased the risk of sarcopenia“
From:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9415919/
Were the stairs damaged???
I hope she was wearing pants.
Wonder if there is any video, given that everyone uses their phones and surely there must have been media around here, being ‘such an important politician’.
Wonder if that Czech tourist was anywhere near when Pelosi fell; his video of Hillary being thrown into that vehicle like a sack of potatoes is legend.
Perhaps Branco will be regularly cartooning Nanzi sans a stiletto.
When they wrote the Constitution, the average life expectancy was about 38 years old.
Imagine what our founding fathers would be saying right now- seeing how many actual geriatrics unable to even walk are holding such high ranking positions now in the running of this country- and the whole damned world now.
It’s pretty embarrassing.
Worse than embarrassing, what it really is, is showing us how owned, how corrupt, how greedy, and how mentally ill all these people are that are in control- whoever they are, these puppet masters.
I’m noting that Donald Trump is surrounding himself with fairly youngish cabinet members.. this is a very good plan that will go a long way in cleaning up our image out there.
Life expectancy was somewhere in the 60s back then.
Many kids never made it to adulthood back in the day. Using average life expectancy without that caveat is not too useful.
It says right here, aged 38.
https://www.mcall.com/1987/06/28/in-the-america-of-1787-big-families-are-the-norm-and-life-expectancy-is-38/
Hiring youngish means they will be around longer to do more destruction. They will have a good 40-50 years of “serving”.
Yes, agreed.
And hopefully Trump is making some good picks that won’t go to the dark side..
It’s quite a gamble today..
Arrested. She’ll be back with a boot on. Like the Blumenthal hip break.
Someone else her age fell in Belgium this week. He I think is a bit healthier and will fully recover. Better to stay active

Don’t they have a fancy plan that the garbage,deplorables don’t have? Since this was a WORKING trip, I’m sure we the tax payer will pay….
If Nancy is the caliber drinker that we suspect it is going to take a lot of pain med and a lot of anesthesia to put her out. And she will be without alcohol for her hospitalization–wonder if she will show signs of alcohol withdrawal ? Add to that she is in a foreign country–well let’s just say this is not going to be pleasant for her.
Wait a minute. Shouldn’t that be “FORMER” speaker? It’s all downhill for her now.
BIDEN had the bright idea JUST before a trip to Las Vegas that HE was going to run – THEN an ‘event’ happened and he HAD to be rushed back to his beachfront home …
Fate – Nancy just had something similar happen …. “an event”.
Don’t blame the heels …
“She was seen in a photo immediately before the fall gripping the hand of Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, on the grand marble staircase at the Grand Duke’s palace.
Pelosi appeared unsteady and frail according to witnesses in the room during the meeting”

reckon that is the staircase she fell down?
Did she fall going up, or down?
Wearing shoes that are torture devices from hell when you’re 30!!! What does she expect.
Stroked out and fell?
