McConnell: "Fuck the Constitution." Pelosi: "We'll see about that."

Last edited Sat Dec 28, 2019, 12:37 PM - Edit history (1)

McConnell and most Republicans don't care about the principals/concepts/laws embedded in the Constitution. They are interested in gaining absolute power and holding it. Forever.

Many of us know this, and most of us are against it. But aside from marching/protesting, and most importantly, voting, we are virtually powerless.

And that's why we should be thankful for Nancy Pelosi. At this moment in history, Speaker Pelosi, and the Democrats who follow her, are, at this moment in time, saving us from an absolute dictatorship.

She has used her power brilliantly. And she has also gotten into the head of an orange madman and is driving him more crazy than he already is. The misogynistic piece of crap suffers daily about the fact that A WOMAN has power. And that she's in a position to stop him from being The King.

So McConnell, Trump, and all the rest of you motherf$#%*^s, wake up. You don't get to own the world. One gutsy, smart, dedicated WOMAN is standing in your way.

We'll have to wait until the next election to see where this is going. But right now, if it weren't for Nancy Pelosi, we, and the rest of the world, would be screwed beyond repair.

And what I have to say at this moment is thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, Nancy.

Pelosi has mastered the art of timing. She goes slow when it fits the strategy, she goes fast whe it’s to her advantage—and it drives Republicans crazy.

She went “too slow” for some with impeachment. And with lightning-like speed, moved two articles through in the wink of an eye. All the while Republicans complained she was going too fast.

Now, she’s going slow by refusing to transmit impeachment articles to the Senate. And the GOP is complaining again that she’s too slow.

Pelosi is pulling the strings now, the GOP must dance when she says dance.

I wanted him to save the environment at the same time he saved the economy. In hindsight, he was right. Pelosi is too.

Let all the shit blow back splatter all in tRUMP world and let the country see exactly how dirty he is showing the rest of the republicans covering for him this entire time.

In a perfect world, tRUMP and republican party suffer the worst election defeat in the history of the world... Very 'bigly' in real life instead of the delusional alternate lunacy they live in. Hopefully the FAUX NEWZ channel dies right along with them.

But only after it's clear for all to see what a sham their "defense" is and how guilty they all are.

They are going to use the same attack strategy with oR without the Articles.

If they get them they will whitewash the Impeachment.

Once whitewashed the RW media will bury it and start saying he was exonerated.

Until they get it to never happened by November 2020.

WHY! WHY! WHY! it makes no sense to me to let them off the hook. Keep the pressure up.

Speaking of hooked once you get a fish hooked, to land the fish you "play it" .... keeping pressure on the line while you slowly work it toward your goal to get it in the net.

Very proud to have stood up for her in my local Indivisible group awhile back. There were many waverers. The “we need somebody new” voices were certainly there. And we certainly discussed the issue.

The results, though, have the last word. Pelosi has convinced everyone that she was the right choice, including those in our group.
