The Nancy Pelosi thread (2 Viewers)

I agree, I don`t want to see Dems acting the same way with the excuse "But Trump" 

With Twitter and social media  I don`t ever see things getting better though.
I don't either, but they have to.  It's the only way to fight Trump.  So, it's time time to get nasty, hit the bully in the nose and then hopefully, once the Dems are back in control we can try to return to human decency.  That's my hope.

I hear ya, but those days are gone forever.  Way too much division on both sides now.

 
She was impossible ... She was the winner and you know she gained a massive amount of weight and it was a real problem,  She's Miss Piggy.

Replace "Miss Piggy" in the sentence above with "She's Morbidly Obese!", say it out loud so other people can hear you, and you'll understand what I mean.
"She was impossible ... She was the winner and you know she gained a massive amount of weight and it was a real problem,” Trump said on Fox & Friends Tuesday.

why did you add , She's Miss Piggy           ????

 
"Machado has said that Trump called her “Miss Piggy” "

I don't ever find where he actually did that, can you ?
If you had read the above link you quoted, Trump not only admitted he said it, but defended it:  

Donald Trump: It's fine to describe ex-Miss Universe as 'Miss Piggy'

One day after the first presidential debate, Donald Trump defended previously calling a former Miss Universe pageant winner “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.”

"She was impossible ... She was the winner and you know she gained a massive amount of weight and it was a real problem,” Trump said on Fox & Friends Tuesday. “And (Clinton) found the girl and talked about her like she was Mother Teresa and it wasn't quite that way, but that's OK. Hillary has to do what she has to do."

Trump is a manchild who likes to make fun of people with childish names. Someone is going to take these dumb shots back at him. He provides a large target.  

When he is gone do you think the next Republican or Dem President is going to spend their time in speeches and their social media calling people nicknames?

No way.

So what you're saying is things are going to go back to normal the minute Trump is out, like many of us have been saying for four years. Which is just the opposite most obsessives here are saying "oMg teh nation's irreversibly damaged"!!!!

I'll say to be fair tho, the social divide will last. And I think again, that's due to social media and cable (what used to be news) new approach of news as infotainment. But politically? Nah, things will be the same they were 6, 8, 10 years ago. Again, the moment he leaves office.

This little kid name calling stuff is what I'm talking about. This stuff is Trump shtick.

When he gets bounced the next Prez, say it's Biden, he won't be talking about "Creepy Mitch". If in 4 years it's President Nikki Haley she won't be talking about "Pocahontas".

We won't have POTUS acting like a child throwing a tantrum every couple days, but let's face it, civility in politics was gone long before Trump.  Just watch some Hannity clips from 2013.

 
How can someone take crap about being dumb from a guy who says this: 

“I tested very positively in another sense I tested positively toward negative, right? So no, I tested perfectly this morning. Meaning I tested negative. But that's a way of saying it. Positively toward the negative." -DJT

In comparison, recent quotes by Biden make him look like a Rhodes Scholar.

If he had added something about “...the Iraq, everywhere like such as...” it would have been perfect.

:rolleyes: I think we all know he was trolling with this one. Dude had a smirk on his face that entire response.

 
I didn’t watch, just read it.

Is this like the “bleach injection” being sarcastic?
No, he was obviously sarcastic here.
 

Debate away if someone in his spot should be sarcastic given his position, circumstances, etc, etc, but yeah. If you ask me, I think he’s getting bored of the job lol, and he does some of this stuff to entertain himself.

I will watch it later. He does say stuff like this that doesn’t make sense often though. 

If he’s bored maybe he could step aside, he’d become the most popular president in history immediately if he did this  :lol:

You can't make this stuff up. 

Do we hear from Paula Jones next?
Bill Clinton paid Paula Jones 850K to go away  around 22 years ago.

Joe should just cut Reade a check for what maybe 1.2 in todays money and just have her go away and be done with it.

Have his fixer do it with campaign money, lie about it, then get caught, pay the fixer back personally, then lie about that.

URGENT: Late last night we defeated an attempt by @SpeakerPelosi to ram through a reauthorization of #FISA and #PatriotAct surveillance authorities. Now she's trying to use a "Conference Committee" in an end-run around her own party. TAKE ACTION: http://SaveInternetPrivacy.org

By moving this to conference,@SpeakerPelosi is explicitly threatening to weaken the bill even further, most likely by gutting the Lee/Leahy amendment. So to be clear, House Democrats are threatening to blow up protections specifically for journalists and religious minorities.

This is an absolute disgrace. We know that #PatriotAct and #FISA surveillance programs have been repeatedly abused to target immigrant communities, journalists, activists, and religious groups. But @SpeakerPelosi and @RepAdamSchiff want to reauthorize them so bad they don't care.

But here's the deal. WE CAN STILL STOP THIS. The House will have to vote on a procedural motion to allow @SpeakerPelosi to move to conference committee with the version the House passed in March (which has no added protections at all.) WE HAVE TO STOP THAT VOTE.

Contact your House Reps RIGHT NOW and tell them to vote against allowing the the USA Freedom Reauthorization Act to go to conference committee. Don't let House leadership sneak this through and make surveillance even worse. Retweet and sound the alarm! //

Sucks we have to jump through hoops to stop corrupt, out of touch millionaires like Nancy Pelosi from destroying the 4th Amendment (and handing unreal surveillance powers to Trump), but consider taking the time to contact your congressional reps about this.

Yea Ren, this is terrible and all but do you remember when she clapped sarcastically that one time? Epic.

 
George Kirby was one of the ghosts in the Topper movies and TV series.

Obviously a slip of the tongue (even Trump has done that occasionally).
I will cut Pelosi a little slack as she is 80 years old and I remember my grandma used to butcher names all the time when she was pushing 80 , Shumer is only 70 and he can`t get it right either.  Floyd Taylor?  Maybe he was thinking Fred Taylor from the Jags.

Heard some good chatter on the radio about this...speculation is Pelosi did this (it is somewhat random she weighed in on this race) to take a shot at AOC as Markey is all in on team-AOC and Pelosi does not care for her at all...
Yea she 100% despises AOC and the like. It's very frustrating but in the long game her days are numbered and AOC is gonna be around for a long time

I think if Pelosi wanted to slight AOC, she would’ve simply not endorsed her. Giving AOC an endorsement and then supporting a moderate in the Massachusetts Senate race would be a very weird way to go after her. I totally believe the reports that Markey’s inversion of Kennedy’s famous quote offended Pelosi — I just think it’s really silly.

She was also awarded a 2019 Kennedy Profile in Courage Award...

 
Markey seems like a good person.  One time a friend posted about how older people are over-represented in Congress, and the problem is that we don't have representation from younger people.  I told them if it wasn't corrupt geriatric politicians it would just be corrupt millennial politicians like mayor rat and joe kennedy III, and that old people can have nice views.  Kennedy appears to struggle with the question of why he's running against Markey at all.  

Sanders has decided to 'stay out of' the Markey/Kennedy primary.  Some speculate it's because Markey endorsed Warren over Sanders.  I think it was curtains for Sanders by the time that happened, but politics is politics I guess.  Still, it seems kind of derelict for him not to endorse Markey over Kennedy.  

Also, the DNC has absolutely no problem with incumbents getting primaried, so long as it's progressives getting replaced with corporate tools.  

 
Good to see our venerated leader show exactly what she thinks of the "hard science behind masks" and the "common sense closing of some businesses in SF" by getting her hair cut in a closed establishment (closed by force of law, except for her, I guess) and doing it maskless, indoors.

This is the perfect example of the Rule of Man over the Rule of Law.  Equality/socialism stretches to all, but those in power are more equal.  She knows what is best for the rest of us, but believes herself and the ruling elite to be above such petty rules for the unwashed masses.  She excoriates our current POTUS on his stances, and then goes and repeats them in private.  

So damn typical. This is socialism in a nutshell.  Not a massive Tucker fan, but he's absolutely dead on here.

If I were a hairdresser in SF I'd open tomorrow.  The precedent has been set.
