Discussion: Pelosi: 'I'm Not Denying' Trump 'A Platform' With SOTU Date Request

NDP is reminding Trump that he expects the security at the SOTU be provided by folks who are not getting a paycheck. It is a twist of the knife.

Well, it won’t be the first time he showed up uninvited and it is an invitation for the President to speak before Congress.

“I’m saying let’s get a date when government is open, let’s pay the employees, maybe he thinks it’s okay not to pay people who do work. I don’t and my caucus doesn’t either.”

I love her.

“spent bullet”

“Government you can drown in a bathtub”

A scene flashes of a plump, useless Grover Norquist in a rat-trap dungeon (on a made-up, false charge people in those countries make when they see plump, useless people wandering where they shouldn’t) awaiting an emissary from the American Consulate…

“Sorry Mr. Norquist. We are closing the Embassy. President Trump cut the funding.”

Watch for the stupid nickname he puts on her. It’s never taken him this long to come up with one.

tena · January 17, 2019, 5:30pm

jajajajajajajajajajajajajaja What a lovely scenario.

@littlegirlblue - it’s instructive to see who he ignores. He ignores her. He’s too scared of her to slap a nickname on her I think. He also ignores AOC totally.

“Fancy Nancy”? My granddaughters LOVE her.

Pelosi should inform Missing Mitch that she will allow the SOTU to take place as soon as McConnell schedules a vote to seat Merrick Garland on the Supreme Court.

littlegirlblue · January 17, 2019, 5:31pm

When she chides her grandchildren, she also adds “I meant it.” Hahahaha

This is all playing games. She should start impeachment proceedings now. The mountain of evidence is already there to convict on multiple high crimes and misdemeanors, and it is growing.

Impeachment is going to take time. There is no reason to wait to start.

littlegirlblue · January 17, 2019, 5:33pm

This constituent loves her

yskov · January 17, 2019, 5:33pm

She manages to slip a little civics lesson in, too, and reiterate Democratic values, throw in some shade on The Donald’s contractor payment history, and point out party unity. All in one tasty soundbite.

I’m in awe.

Yes we all saw the Atlantic.

emiliano4 · January 17, 2019, 5:36pm

Me, you, @tena and 150,364,271 other Americans are with you.

littlegirlblue · January 17, 2019, 5:37pm

He can hardly believe that rAyn with whom he shared a bed has been replaced by a woman who never had any fucks to give.

emiliano4 · January 17, 2019, 5:38pm

Daniel Dale is incorrect.
Technically, the Kremlin is part of Europe. It’s west of the Urals.

tena · January 17, 2019, 5:39pm

The difference could hardly be more dramatic. Ryan did exactly nothing the entire time he was Speaker.

clunkertruck · January 17, 2019, 5:40pm

Not enough hamberbers … maybe he needs add some pickles ? ? …

Trump was listless and sounded defeated. He can’t even 
  get the energy together to pretend like he can win.
