House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday described her meeting with President Trump as a “meltdown” and said she was likely “excusing” herself from the room or telling Trump that “all roads lead to Putin” when an iconic photo of the gathering was snapped.
“No meltdown! No meltdown! You’re the meltdown!”
So are there transcripts of this meeting? Are they already in the vault?
That’s right! A little Grandma stands up to Trump when the entire Republican party (of mostly white men) will not. I’m glad Nancy’s on OUR side.
Au contraire – they are being re-written right now.
In that picture, the general to Trump’s right has very clear body language…he’s holding back from showing anything or making a comment, but very stiff in disagreement. It’s not aimed at Pelosi, if it was he would be looking at her like Mnuchin is. I think that makes it pretty clear how the military feels about the Syria situation, and they also feel hemmed in by the president’s bad behavior.
Things are only going to get worse between the Democrats and Trump from here, he’s going to be the stubborn grandpa who refuses to listen while the Democrats follow the law and facts in the investigation. He knows he’s in trouble, and all he can do is hit back and try to hurt them as he goes down. We’re in for an ugly few months of politics.
She’s hardly a little grandma. She’s a very experienced and powerful politician.
If the Democrats are smart they made their own recording of the meeting, as they should of every meeting going forward. I don’t know if that’s necessarily legal, so they may not be able to produce the recordings, but having it for themselves to refer to is a good idea.
Or, they can just let Trump keep releasing things that damage himself…it’s like he’s got a machine gun aimed at his foot.
At the end of the day, Trump will refute the whole explanation and accuse her of lying just like she always lies. Pot? This is Kettle.
In the meantime, people are dying in the middle east and he’s spending his time on this nonsense.
I have to say, I love that shit-eating grin on Nancy’s face in the photo. She’s proud of the fall-out, and the chance to rub it in. As she should be. 
Pelosi on Thursday described her meeting with President Trump as a “meltdown"
So was it a Fukushima or a Chernobyl or a Three Mile Island?
Pelosi totally owns the big baby Trump. It’s fantastic to see and hear Trump’s mindless and impotent wailing and projection.
“Trump apparently told the room he pulled the U.S. troops out of Syria to fulfill his campaign promise to bring the troops home. Pelosi claims she retorted by questioning why U.S. troops remained in Saudi Arabia and Trump admitted it was because the country was paying the U.S. for them.”
So, our all-volunteer armed services are now a mercenary force; soldiers of fortune sent into harm’s way on behalf of the highest bidder.
Disgusting.
They’re going to need a bigger Sharpie…
She’s not beholden to the GOP base. That’s who the GOP fears, not Trump.
He’s the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - General Mark A. Milley.
That was a Joni Ernst level castration…
"At that moment I probably was saying ‘all roads lead to Putin’.”
Followed by, “I’d like to speak to your boss!”
I can’t imagine what else the White House is going to release in the coming weeks that they think looks strong or exculpatory but is actually woefully weak and outright incriminating. But there have at least three so far (off the top of my head, the partial “transcript”, the letter, and the photo), and it’s a safe bet there will be more.
