RE your recent tweet: Nancy Pelosi wants an apology for a caricature exaggerating her already halting speech pattern. First she should withdraw her charge which hurts our entire nation when she says the President needs an intervention. People who live in a glass house shouldnt throw stones.
Altering a video in order to make Nancy Pelosi appear to be drunk, drugged, or otherwise incapacitated is not a caricature. It is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public by representing her as somehow incapable of doing her job.
The fact that the Republicans would actually engage in such despicable behaviour is clearly indicative of their desperation. The fact that your pResident would actually disseminate this video himself is just another sign that he has absolutely no respect for the office he holds, nor the maturity to grasp the responsibilities of that office.
Ms. Pelosis statement that Trump needs an intervention is not a charge it is a statement of fact, and one with which a growing number of citizens agree. When the so-called leader of the free world cant string two coherent sentences together, declares that the noise from wind turbines causes cancer, states that his Bronx-born father was born in Germany, and demands to know the oranges of the Mueller investigation, it seems abundantly clear that the self-proclaimed stable genius is just as far from being stable as he is from being a genius.
As for people who live in glass houses, Rudy, you might want to go to YouTube and pull up a few videos of your pResidents public performances. They are rife with ludicrous verbal meanderings, non-sequitors, and physical mannerisms demonstrative of dementia and/or a myriad of other serious mental issues.
Add into the mix his inane, incomprehensible tweets, his ability to tell over ten thousand easily-debunked lies to the nation, and his insistence that Muellers report exonerated him when it says the exact opposite, what you have is an unhinged, paranoid moron, whose every word, every action, and every behaviour supports the notion that an intervention is not only called for, but is long overdue.
I think what really sticks in your craw, Rudy, is the obvious fact that your pResident looks, acts, and sounds like a buffoon at all times no film editing, no computer manipulation, no digitally-enhanced exaggeration needed. You GOPers have the need to distort the images of Democratic politicians. We, on the other hand, need only point to actual videos of your pResident to make our point.
Just as a by-the-way, Rudy, social media was flooded with altered videos of Hillary during the 2016 campaign, which depicted her as being seriously ill, displaying signs of physical and/or mental incapacity, even having seizures. At the time, it was accepted by many that Russian operatives were solely responsible for the creation and dissemination of these tapes.
But given the altered Pelosi video, we now cant help but wonder what came first, the Republican chicken or the throwing of Putins rotten eggs?
More simply put, did the GOP learn this particular dirty trick from the Russians, or did the Russians learn it from the GOP?
Either way, it no longer matters because you both own it now.
Yours, with all due respect,

(37,648 posts)I saw it tonight. A Kimmel rerun. He showed a video of Trump, doctored so he'd sound drunk. Except it was clear it was joke, not being represented as real. Maybe that's where they got the idea.
Ironically, neither Pelosi nor Trump drink alcohol.
Lock him up.
