Now, now that’s a little extreme so early in the AM, how about 'he deserves an orange crate and a street corner;?

Such courage!

She really showed them who is the boss!

It is courageous moves like this that really show why she is the best Speaker of the House in history.

Indeed, it’s a small matter. Say, I was wondering though, was out of town for a while, what ever happened with that shutdown? Did she cave and give him his wall money like certain people were sure would happen?

What’s the point here, georgeh? You want to continuously show how weak and pathetic the Democrats are? What’s the end game besides kvetching?

I suppose this is just another ‘act’ that Trump feels is directed at him…harassment and all that. Poor babies.

I think her “no impeachment on the table” comment got all the old anti-Pelosi juices flowing again. That being said, this is probably not a small deal. I’ve witnessed years-long feuds at offices because someone got the cube with a window and someone else did not.

I don’t think Pelosi leaked this story to the press in some odd way to make her appear “strong”. This is our political press treating everything like a high-school popularity contest.

I was joking a bit. It’s pretty in-your-face to take his office away. She’s savvy enough to speak Trumpian, is what it says to me. Civility is wasted on that crowd. You just give them a thumb in the eye every chance you get, because they’re going to do it to you.

I hope she’s able to find a lesbian Wiccan to assign it to.

No, Nancy didn’t fold. She merely waited for him to declare a bogus national emergency so he could go golfing. Evidently the courses at Grift-A-Lotto was the only place secure enough to plan strategy with Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.

We’re now 27 days into this perilous time, all while taco trucks continue to amass at our southern border and Infrastructure Week goes full steam ahead. As a matter personal preservation, I’ll be making Po’ Boy’s Crab Cakes (Tuna Patties) and rice pilaf.

Well this surely makes up for ruling out impeachment.

TPM is getting desparate …

Give it to the interns.

No one ruled out impeachment.

Thank you. Logged in to say just that.

Really, TPM?

How about, um, “reclaims”?

@srfromgr and you are both spot on. Hard to exaggerate the awful and the stupid of this locution. FFS, TPM.

“No one ruled out impeachment.”

That’s certainly the impression Pelosi has given the country. Or did she just “oppose” it, but not “rule it out”? That seems like a minor semantic quibble that will mean zilch to millions of disappointed voters.

Just do a quick search on how this story is getting covered.

The Hill: Pelosi backs away from impeachment

RealClearPolitics: Pelosi Wisely denies Dems a Path to impeachment

Washington Post: “In opposing impeachment…”

What was the import of her statement if not to oppose impeachment? It literally has no other interpretation. She’s opened the door to Trump when he tries to keep the Mueller report from going public.

What Pelosi should have said is : “We understand that very serious charges are being investigated and think it would be premature to make any further determinations. But it should be clear that, if President Trump is facing credible criminal charges, he cannot serve any longer as our President.”

Instead she said “Trump’s not worth it.” It’s the same kind of idiocy that paralyzed Dems in 2001, when people said idiotic things like “It doesn’t matter who’s President”.
