I’m not quite getting why folks think this is especially hard hitting or effective.

Didn’t she mean that he smeared dog poo on his face? Cause that’s what it looks like

You really have to imagine the Speaker of the House is asked on national TV what she thinks about this thing you said and she says you’re like a child who’s w alking around obliviously with shit on your shoe, and now imagine it’s not you but Donald Trump. She’s making it clear she considers him the most contemptible and ridiculous person alive today and she’s not sanding any edges off it. She’s a national treasure of badassery. Anyone who ever considered her in any way timid might want to come forward and abase yourself now.

She’s in a room just across the mental hall from Obama.

A) Trump is the ne plus ultra of thin-skinned pols.
B) Pelosi smiles when she inserts the shiv.
C) She makes needling Trump an art form.

I suspect that she’s in the antechamber as Obama appears to have overstayed his appointment there.

She’s calling him an oblivious child who’s got something on him universally considered disgusting that he’s spreading around everywhere. He doesn’t mind being hated, but she knows that, so she’s saying he’s contemptible and disgusting and most of all ridiculous and weak. Not only that, no public person talks about another this way, so it’s singling him out as beyond any worthiness of respect or politeness. You know all the normalizing that happens? This is the opposite.

As an added bonus, Trump appears to have contempt, or hatred, or something for dogs and has frequently added “like a dog” in his innumerable insults. Lie down with dogs, get doggie doo on your shoes, I guess.

She had 6 older brothers. Six. She raised 5 children and has numerous grandchildren. She is super perceptive and knows how to throw a punch with her words. I just love her.

“Doggie doo” sounds childish without making a clear point. Maybe there was context not in the clip that I missed, but it just didn’t strike me as a sick burn.
I dunno. Could just be me?

Remember that Pelosi is a grandmother and speaking as a member of Congress.
She used language that 99% of Americans would not find offensive that had the added benefit of drawing more attention to Trump’s childishness.

Could be.

It is starting to appear strategic. Maybe she suspects the hydroxychloroboner pills Trump is taking will accelerate his full psychotic break. He just needs a little push and she knows it will be worse for him if it comes from her or any woman… He does seem closer than ever these days.

With anyone else, no. With him, it’s perfect.
He’s the one that uses “dog” when referring to women, particularly, worst insult he can think up, as he claims to be a germaphobe.
So she just called him dogshit.
It’s communication in a way that he can and will understand.

Yes and Nancy Pelosi isn’t about to say “dog shit.” Nor should she.

Oh.
The recordings referenced show nothing untoward although Poroshenko is embarrassingly fawning over Biden a wee bit. This is another self own that the Grand Old Pestilence Party will try to spin but will make no impact at all outside the febrile brain trust of the QAnon set and other right wing “wankgnoscenti”.

It’s the edits that will really kill this. So obviously edited, and this was the best they could come up with, so clearly the full recordings make it even more of a nothingberder.
