Love Speaker Pelosi because she punches back. What do you expect her to do after constantly being attacked? The type of leader the US needs. Not afraid to punch back or mouth off on twitter like a child.
Yubaru
Delusions of grandeur...been saying all along that the US is being led by a man with dementia, and now this. He needs more than just an "intervention" he needs hospitalization and right quick, before he does something really stupid!
CrazyJoe
There are currently more than 100 House passed bills sitting on McConnell's desk in the Senate that the Leader REFUSES to bring to the floor for a vote. The real do nothing branch is the Republican led Senate.
PTownsend
Stable? When he's attacking on Twitter and protected by security forces he's a tough talking bully, but when he's face to face with anyone he turns into a nancy-boy (like most spoiled class mommy's boys) squealing to his followers he's bring victimized. Sounds bi-polar to me.
bass4funk
Don't worry, Harry Reid still beats McConnell with over 304 bills that he refused to sign, the do nothing Senate led Democrat.
bass4funk
As did Trump. Summoned them to the WH and then telling the Dems, sorry, but no deal. Bablam!
She does what she can for her party and Trump does the same. Now you understand why we love this President, but the difference is Pelosi isn’t and will never be President, so one good thing we can take a sigh of relief on.

Regarding that 19-billion disaster aid package, the $4.5 billion Trump requested for the California portion of his border wall was rejected, while California got all disaster relief funds it had requested. Big win for California - and Pelosi.
Blacklabel
Trunnp IS a genius. He made Dems think he wants them to impeach him and for that reason only they won’t do it.
Then they fight about it every day in public for the voters to see and it makes them unable to do anything else.
Its actually genius level stuff.
bass4funk
Except for that Bullet junk high speed train.

On that California lost big and a big win for Trump.

Just another campaign pledge that will fall by the wayside.

I want to see Nancy Pelosi's tax returns.
takeda.shingen.1991@gmail.com
Yup, it was also genius level to lose more money than any US taxpayer in history. You are right, Donny is bigly genius. ;)
bass4funk
Yeah, lets do infrastructure, yes, you were found after 2 years of intense and thorough investigation with 19 angry lawyers and 40 FBI agents, but we want to do 1 one more investigation and on top of that, we are thinking we should impeach you and we think you’re doing a coverup, but we want to work with you. Lol
Never will happen.
lincolnman
Nancy really has Trump's number - tells him to stop the cover up and he has a meltdown, then says he needs an intervention, and he on cue gives an example for one. She plays him like a fiddle and makes him look like a fool.
Only in Trump-world do his supporters call him a "genius" and profess their "love" for him - that's just weird and cult-like - the parallels to North Korea are amazing.
While the public gets to see Donnie throw a two year old tantrum everyday - get Stromy in here with his pacifier...
As Mattis said, it's "fifth grade level" stuff....

Trump in 2016:
Trump yesterday:
Trump is running out of friends fast. Nobody of quality will work for him as they know he'll pressure them into doing things that could land them in jail, and then he'll let them rot, or he'll mount highly offensive ad hominem attacks if they are honest in an attempt to save their own skins. All who remain are zealots - and even many of those will likely soon abandon ship.
Strangerland
Remember that definition of insanity, about doing the same thing and expecting different circumstances? Remember last time Trump tried to bully Nancy and Chuck, before he shut down the government? Well, same result - he looks stupid, and they didn't bend to his bullying.
bass4funk
Yes and in return she gets no deal and does it front of the nation, talk about a sock in the eye and a rupture to the soul of the Democrats.
Well, we’re not going to call any of the socialist squad geniuses. Beating 17 professional Republicans and one of the most powerful Democrats in Washington with no history in politics is not only a genius move, but fitting of a standing ovation.
...and the Democrats desperately trying to rehash a two year old wrapped up fake hoax collusion.
Tokyo-Engr
As a Californian (expatriated for a long time however) I think both of the characters involved in this are the bottom of the barrel of U.S. politics (Trump and Pelosi).
Trump a genius? Holy smokes that one made me spit my coffee out.
arrestpaul
LOL. Pelosi didn't have any intention of solving any infrastructure problems with Trump. If two businessmen had decided that they would meet to discuss a solution to some business problem, neither of the two would have called the other a crook just before the meeting was to take place. OTOH, two politicians would not have any problem trash-talking each other, and then posing together for a group photo.
Pinocchio Pelosi has made it very clear over the last several years that neither she, or the other elected Democrats, would work with Trump. Pelosi set a trap for Trump, and Trump saw it for what it was. Another cheap, theatrical, ploy by the resist-everything party.
lincolnman
The only one who looked helpless was Donnie - you know, the Chief Executive who is responsible for leading. But Donnie doesn't know how to do that, so once Nancy made him look like a fool, he had his tantrum and said "I won't work anymore until Nancy stops picking on me".... Really, Mattis had this pegged - Trump lives in a fifth grade world....
Very true, and the Kremlin gave Putin a standing ovation when Trump won. By the way, Mayor Pete is a Rhodes Scholar that speaks seven languages....Donnie can't even speak one - "origins" vs "oranges"...
Trump: "Nancy is being mean to me so I'm going to go hide in my room". Yea, that's real genius stuff...
Blacklabel
She didnt make him look like a fool, she spread lies about him and then walked into a meeting expecting to get her way. Not only did she not get her way, she didnt even get a meeting.

Matthews: Obama a ‘Genius President’
https://freebeacon.com/national-security/matthews-obama-a-genius-president/
The last guy even had the media claiming it, they were so in his pocket. But now, you want to compare Trump to North Korea if he even mentions the word. Suuuuure.
My point stands, he is such a genius that Dems are fighting each other over an impeachment attempt everyone knows will fail.
Serrano
Pelosi is disgraceful. She is the perfect example of why we need term limits for Congress.
She has indeed lost it, and the Democrats are going to lose the House in 2020.
ulysses
Loved it when Kellyanne, Sarah, Larry and Mercedes confirmed that Trump was 'calm'.
Hope they all got their treats afterwards.
lincolnman
Lies? You mean when Donnie said "I don't do cover-ups" - yet he lied about dictating the "adoptions" memo to cover up the meeting with Russians at Trump Tower? Or the payoff to Stormy and McDougall to cover up his flings?
She made him look like a fool and goaded him into a typical two-year old tantrum for all to see. Played him like a fiddle. I hope his Dr is upping his blood pressure medication - he's going to need it...
Because she made Donnie look like a Dimwit - we can't have anyone like that around...that's why Tillertson, Mattis, McMaster and Kelly are all gone....
Trump-world fantasy...in 2020 Donnie will be at one of two places; Leavenworth or a bail-jumper sharing a penthouse with Putin at Trump Tower Moscow...
yamada1043
The current occupant of the White House, has one more time, confirmed he is unfit to be POTUS.
Joe Blow
Hope Nancy can survive 4 more years!
Blacklabel
except that no one saw it. He walked in, said what he needed to say, and left.
A tantrum is an action, and that action didnt happen. Even Schumer could only say he was "agitated", which is subjective to the observer unless there is an associated action. You can walk in a room, say something and walk out without being agitated. Bosses do that all the time, and Trump is the boss of Pelosi and Schumer.
Chip Star
The president doesn't summon members of congress. Pelosi sure stuck it to the man baby. Exposed him for the incompetent, immature man he is.
I was sarcastically parroting you! Hahaha.
We'll take your word for it since you can read minds.
Blacklabel
speaking of fantasy....is that kinda like Avenatti saying Trump Jr would be indicted before Christmas guaranteed. Then getting indicted like 36 times himself and looking at 400 years in prison? Karma.

Are you sure about that Chippy? 2 seconds on Google.
Obama summons congressional leaders to White House

Congressional leaders were also summoned on Oct 2, 2013 and July 20, 2011 and Oct 13, 2013 even Dec 27, 2012. Right after Christmas they were summoned! the outrage.
Blacklabel
No, I can read and comprehend words when people say them.
“He wants to be impeached, so he can be exonerated by the Senate,” she told top Democrats in a private meeting Thursday, according to several officials. “ (with the she being Pelosi)

Well, that's your opinion. But many of us disagree.
sunfunbun
Trump is a stable genius???!!??? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! No, he's a juvenile liar.
lincolnman
Really? Even your preferred network said he had a tantrum - and he blew a chance to put Americans to work. Ouch, Donnie burned by Fox News...the walls must be really caving in...
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen President Trump have a temper tantrum. But Wednesday’s was one of epic proportions. Because it didn’t just play out in the Rose Garden where the cameras were, it started inside the White House where, just moments before, the president stormed out of a meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. In doing so, Trump blew up a plan to put Americans to work by investing $2 trillion in America’s infrastructure including roads, bridges, and airports.

Chip Star
Yes, I'm sure about it, Blacklab.
As for members of Congress, members of the judiciary or civilians, the Presidentdoes not have the legal authority to enforce their being summoned.

Seriously, I'm starting to feel sorry for Nancy Pelosi. She's either drunk or suffering from a mental disorder here:

The investigations are getting to Trump. He’s been making a lot of mistakes recently.

I guess Donnie really does have a complex about dementia and Alzheimer's - but again, if you forget where your father was born....
Now he tasks his staff to go out and lie about how calm he was during his meltdown...
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/president-trump-calls-aides-affirm-calm-wednesdays-meeting/story?id=63240105&cid=clicksource_interest_band
And today he holds a press conference on help for farmers, and instead of talking about the help, rants about how "stable" he is...and the farmers standing with him are looking at each other going; "who is this idiot?"
Donnie is not only melting down emotionally, he's melting down mentally....
Blacklabel
Just distraction from the declassification order and to hide that the Obama judge who ruled that the financial records could be released.....made political donations to 2 dems on the committee asking for them and Dem pres candidates and even “Obama for America”.
Nothing to see here, keep talking about a made up “trantrum”
Serrano
I still remember when Trump deleted 33,000 emails after being ordered to turn them over. When he bleached and then smashed his servers with a hammer I was disgusted. The cover-up is real.
Blacklabel
It’s Un-American! Schiff cries out.
so the attorney general can’t see classified docs but Schiff wants the full unredacted mueller report with 6e material released to congress to leak to the public? Bwaaahaha
Blacklabel
Seriously the guy is a genius! He performs a “cover up” by releasing all hidden and classified documents to law enforcement. Would have never thought to cover up by making all the evidence available. such a diabolical plan in its simplicity.
theeastisred
Pelosi's observation that Trump is obstructing justice and engaging in a cover-up was merely a statement of fact. There was no reason at all for Trump to react negatively to that, and he clearly would have had his phoney press conference in any case, since he had gone to the trouble of printing up the fictional placard to stick on his podium like that. Nobody outside his own team is ever fooled by any of his childish nonsense.
Chip Star
Just remember this tactic when/of a judge rules for Don or one of his investigators does something adverse to libs/Dems because we'll be throwing it straight back into your face.
Chip Star
It's nearsighted stupidity driven by overconfidence. He's banking on being able to claim executive privilege if anything is found showing he obstructed justice, etc.
Unfortunately for Donny, SCOTUS is extremely unlikely to rule that a president can block the results of an investigation into himself from Congress, which is a co-equal branch with a constitutional duty of oversight on the executive.
If SCOTUS does so rule, we know they are corrupt, biased justices legislating from the bench.
Blacklabel
IF? Thought you all said without a doubt that he did? Now we are back to “if”?
Chip Star
Feel free to quote me where I have ever said anything would be found.
HonestDictator
Pelosi means nothing to me. She's just another typical old generation entrenched career politician on the Dem's side that reminds me why I don't like either party. Trump is an easy target because he's a ****ing idiot that got to be POTUS (from what appears to be some dubious measures from foreign involvement and GOP corrupt cheats) to gain majority power for themselves.
Serrano
*Trump is an easy target because he's a ***ing idiot that got to be POTUS (from what appears to be some dubious measures from foreign involvement
You STILL believe the Russians got Trump elected? Good grief...
No, Trump got to be POTUS ( against all odds as he was opposed by not only many Republicans, but the vast majority of the media, Hollywood and the sitting POTUS and his wife ) because enough voters in enough states wanted a non politician, not a corrupt establishment politician.
Strangerland
If Trump doesn't like people pointing out his covering up his being a criminal, he probably shouldn't try to cover up doing things that he has done criminal, or even better, not do anything criminal in the first place.
That will never happen though so we should LOCK HIM UP! Right Hillary haters?
David Varnes
And in this single sentence, every argument you make, Blacklabel, is henceforth shown to be erroneous and false.
Trumpy is not the boss of Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer. They are members of Congress, one the Speaker of the House, the other the Senate Minority Leader.
Neither of which work for the President of the United States. In fact, if you dust off your copy of the US Constitution, you'd see that the Legislative Branch is in fact equal to the Executive Branch. In that regard, Nancy Pelosi is, along with Mitch McConnell, equal in 'boss' level to Donny No Deal.
So no, Trump is not the 'boss.' If anything, with every action he takes, every petulant, childish speech and puerile Tweet he makes, he shows less and less how he's a 'boss' in any sense of the word.
bass4funk
Yeah....ROFL. Original, but funny....
At the same time, in order for them they have to show malicious contempt especially if they want to get their hand on his taxes and that’s where the Dems will meet a roadblock because after an expensive and exhaustive 2 year witch hunt with 40 FBI agents and19 angry lawyers and finding No collusion, they want to take the country one more time down the road of collusion delusion....looks like harassment at this point and well deserved for him to claim executive privilege and probably the SCOTUS will side at this point with the President.
Washington Politics is a b......
lincolnman
The only one who doesn't is you, Donnie, and Vlad...I think even Ann Coulter believes its true...
And enough of those Americans were duped by a "sweeping and systemic" Russian influence operation to elect a serial liar, con-man, and poodle for Putin...
bass4funk
The bogus Russian hoax one that liberals try and tell themselves it happened. Look, I’m a libertarian in that regard, people can believe whatever they want, if they want to think there was collusion, I don’t have a problem with it, I would rather go with Mueller’s no Collusion, but I will pray for my liberal comrades.
lincolnman
Me too - I support the first amendment - if you want to believe Russian authored propaganda and live in a fantasy world where John F. Kennedy Jr is blogging from a basement in Washington (QAnnon), more power to you. We'll pray for your Russian indentured souls also...
bass4funk
So far on all your theories you were wrong, especially the Russian part and I quote “he’s going to wear prison orange” or Mueller’s got the goods on him, Stormy will sink him, each time wrong. When Trump is handcuffed and is made to take a mugshot, I’ll give you on JT an official apology. Lol
lincolnman
I'm afraid you're wrong again;
Donnie will be wearing prison orange - once the 20 separate investigations on him conclude...
Mueller did get the goods on him - proved his team of 7 close associates were all talking to Russians then lied under oath about it...
Stormy will sink him - who do you think "Individual -1" is?
Hope your confusion clears up...
Chip Star
No, they don't need to show anything to get Donny's taxes because the law that gives the chairman of the ways and means committee the power to get the returns doesn't require it.
Way, way off the rails. If SCOTUS does side with Donny, we know it's just biased, corrupt justices legislating from the the bench. I'm not confident that your side will win, so my side may not need to throw your side's go-to defense back at you.

It didn't work when Clinton tried to claim executive privilege, I expect it won't with Trump...
Muller didn't say No Collusion. He said No Conspiracy. Important difference.

The moron who minted MAGA isn't satisfied with POTUS and now wants to be known as ESGOTUS. It's far too late for a "family intervention". Medical and judicial intervention is the only remedy for a metastasizing megalomaniac.

And yet, for some obvious reason, this issue is still going to be argued in court.
Chip Star
Of course it is. That's what happens when there is a question about the law. Did you somehow infer from my post that I was implying it wouldn't be argued in court?
arrestpaul
Elected Democrats are getting even more desperate. The AG's investigation into the investigators is continuing, and it looks like team Comey will be facing prison time. Unless elected Democrats can figure out a way to stop the investigation into the origins of the Steele-based witch hunt, Biden and Obama can expect to join Comey, and the others, under oath, as they explain what they knew, when they knew it, and why they lied to the American public.
ulysses
But he did, maybe he was wrong about the ‘losing it’ part. It should be ‘Lost it’.

Nancy is the swamp. Team Pelosi is turning every trick in order prevent Barr's investigation of the investigators who conned the FISA court, and many of the voters, into believing that the Steele dossier was anything other than a Democrat Party attempt to undo the lawful election of President Trump.
Tick tock. Time is getting short for Obama, Biden, and Hillary, worshippers. Can elected Democrats prevent the voters from finding out just how badly the Democrat Party supporters at DOJ, FBI, and the WH, mislead the voters, and the courts, while trying to project their own collusion/actions onto Republicans, and Trump. Tick, tock.
