House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wednesday doubled down on her decision to launch impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump after reading the White House’s memo on his call with Ukraine.
Pointing to the White House’s own memo documenting Trump’s demand that the president of Ukraine investigate Biden, Pelosi said that Trump either “does not know the weight of his words or he does not care about ethics or his constitutional responsibilities.”
But for some reason it can’t be both?
And a left, and a right - jab, jab, jab - and another left.
Keep hitting him. Keep fucking hitting him!!!
Of course it can be both.
But most people are easier to convince with a binary choice.
Here’s the reaction when Stephen Colbert showed his audience a video clip of Pelosi’s announcement of the impeachment investigation: (the first 2 minutes of this clip)
“We definitely knew when the White House sent a recall e-mail”
Man, Pelosi has been ITCHING to do this all year
Her strategy of waiting until the impeachment issue was ripe has paid off big time.
All the numbnuts who were ragging on her need to publicly apologize.
So sad that Pelosi doomed democracy by not rushing pell-mell into impeachment months ago.
Looks like the political tide will surely carry Trump to another term now!
But … Trump said it was a perfect call and the notes show how nice he is. How can you impeach him for being so nice and so concerned about others’ corruption and the good of Ukraine?
One could as easily say “See - all the harping and complaining paid off!” Because really - she was playing 3d chess all along. Just like when Roosevelt said to the New Deal proponents “I believe in your approach, now make me do it!”
Nobody needs to apologize to anyone.
This is the fastest slow-walkin’ I evah seen.
If they apologize will their nuts no longer be numb?
“He’s either a wise guy or a bag of shit!”
I’ve already seen idiots pouting with “Well, she didn’t do it my way.” because they don’t know how the game works and now they got egg on their face. She knew since day one she had ONE shot at this and she needed to wait. Heck, I mostly blame the idiot “moderates” in her caucus who kept wringing their hands. But hey, it’s easier to rag on the WOMAN, amirite?
Pelosi goes for death by a thousand indictments…
Third alternative: Trump does not know what he is saying.
I vote for no. 3.
I read the transcript notes that Josh put up. Dayum, Trump thinks that exonerates him? No, Trump does not understand his own words. Good god.
Skepticism requires as apology?
Okay, a few posters were just a bit (((cough))) over the top.
It is both. He’s too dumb to know and to dumb to care.
Nancy is wrong (again). The memo does not confirm the need for an inquiry. It confirms the need to impeach.
