Discussion: Pelosi Describes Trump's 'Temper Tantrum' As He Pounded The Table

[clemmers]

“I wish that his family or his administration or his staff would have an intervention for the good of the country.”

That will leave a mark.

[carolson]

Bringing out the fancy sign was particularly stupid - but what else is new? No doubt all Moron’s idea; he’s so sly …

[vlharpley]

If he was upset about a comment Pelosi made before the meeting, why did he even show up at all? What a child.

Now Nancy — I like to call her “Nancy” — a real temper tantrum would’ve included his holding his breath, some spirited foot-stomping and, ideally, throwing himself prone on the floor, kicking and pounding, while screaming “I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!”

“I wish that his family or his administration or his staff would have an intervention for the good of the country.”

Once those bank subpoenas are fulfilled, and Mueller testifies, I suspect Congress will stage an “intervention”.

For the good of the country.

[maricaibo]

Maybe that really happened.

“Again, I pray for the president of the United States,” she added. “I wish that his family or his administration or his staff would have an intervention for the good of the country.”

How about the Congress intervenes? For the good of the country?

Worst speaker ever.

This is known as imprecatory prayer. I think it’s vile. Many of the Birthers were big on using their religion in this twisted fashion.

Don’t worry to much, I know for sure that the Flying Spaghetti Monster gets a laugh of the very few prayers that he actually listens, and then goes on to do whatever he wants. I am sure it’s the same way for all other deities.

[dr_coyote]

Yawn.

Time for some reporters to get our candidates on the record! I am really interested to hear what all the top tier candidates have to say about Pelosi’s remarks—and I generously include Seth Moulton in those ranks!

[emiliano4]

I think it’s a fair inference that there is much worse that she is not telling. This is her shot across the bow, the warning that she will reveal the full extent of Trump’s mental infirmities if necessary.

Great point.

[clemmers]

[southerndem]

Like this?

[surge]

Can we make sure the memo gets passed around so that similar statements get repeated by different Dem elected officials at least once a day?

[inversion]

Also, why aren’t people going into these meetings with their phones set to record?

They’re likely doing that.

[greenman66]

I don’t believe in prayer anyway. It is a waste of time, like playing the lottery. If there is some supreme being that somehow controls events, it is not going to care a whit what humans want.

[seamus42]

Sounds like she saw something in there that really worried her, beyond what we all see and hear that worries us.

Could be another momentary breeze raised the hair flap.

[erik_t]

Worst speaker ever.

We know you’d prefer to have the esteemed and effective Paul Ryan back.

[old_curmudgeon]

This is pretty strong stuff.

Two kinds of intervention: The 25th. Impeachment.

If he was upset about a comment Pelosi made before the meeting, why did he even show up at all? What a child.

Considering the podium decorated in advance for him to rail about Mueller, methinks this whole business was some PR “genius” staging a big-drama moment for the Plum-fingered Moron.
