After stomping his fat ass to the floor in the WH press spray, Madame Speaker-elect boots him in the ribs.
Let the shredding commence…
Actually, I think that is a bit high.
Wonder how many long months or years till they get them? Will he be out of office before we find out all the corruption we’ve seen was just the tip of that iceberg?
Yes, Donald, it’s now official.
You are shitting blood.
It might stop if you resign.
But I doubt it…
Welcome back, Madam Speaker! This is a breath of fresh air.

One of the things I admire most about Nancy Pelosi is her ability to manage expectations. She doesn’t naysay nor does she overhype. She knows plenty well how the carnival is run all the while working to achieve the goals for the broader coalition.
He’s got nothing but a mushroom and a couple of tiny peanuts down below.
Maybe, but Trump can’t shred what’s at the Internal Revenue’s office (and probably what Mueller has as well).
Yesterday she came for his “manhood”, and today, even worse, she’s coming for his tax returns. And if there’s one person in Washington who knows her way around the arcane byzantine rules and bylaws, it’s Pelosi.
Yes! She doesn’t come out all like, “We’re going to get 20 years of his tax returns on day one!” She knows there’s going to be resistance and it may even wind up in court. She plays the long game. I also feel as though she’s learned from some of her mistakes when she was Speaker the last time. I just can’t wait until she gets her gavel back.
The Congressman who’ll likely lead this charge is Richard Neal, MA, and he’ll have this at his disposal. I’m very hopeful, we all should be.
Mr. Neal also would have at his disposal an obscure provision in the federal tax code that allows the leaders of Congress’s tax-writing committees to request and investigate the tax returns of any American, including the president.
The powers laid out in an obscure 1920s addition to the tax code are clear: The leaders of Congress’s tax-writing committees, including the Ways and Means Committee in the House, are empowered to request from the Treasury Department tax returns or related information on any tax filer. Democrats could use that information to finally determine if Mr. Trump, who built a global business empire before entering politics, has problematic financial entanglements with Russia or other undisclosed conflicts of interest.
They could also use such an inquiry to determine whether Mr. Trump violated the law before his election to avoid paying taxes.
How long before Trump’s enablers extol the wisdom of Judge Learned Hand:
“We agree with the Board and the taxpayer that a transaction, otherwise within an exception of the tax law, does not lose its immunity, because it is actuated by a desire to avoid, or, if one choose, to evade, taxation. Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one’s taxes.”
By studiously evading taxation Trump proved that he was simply practicing his patriotic duty. MAGA.
She’s got 30 years in Congress as opposed to moron’s few years. She’ll continue to tutor him in the ways of governing until he shows he understands what’s he talking about (she developed this technique from managing her grandchildren).
He’ll get 20 years alone for falsely deducting half his income over the past decade as Golden Corral debt.
Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee “see a path” toward obtaining the President’s tax returns
The news was greeted by a prompt response from the President.
And he’ll be dead well before he learns any of her lessons.
