With that one gesture last night

Last edited Wed Feb 5, 2020, 02:58 PM - Edit history (1)

Speaker Pelosi reminded the Con and his ReTHUG goons that she is not playing. When an impeached President accepts an invitation to discuss the State of the Union and lies his ass off, then violates protocol and awards a Presidential Medal of Freedom in the House of Representatives to a well known racist, divisive druggie (with no permission from the Speaker), it is time to take off the gloves.


From the bottom of my heart, thank you Speaker Pelosi. I think you helped Doug Jones make the right decision.

IMPOTUS will be removed from office - maybe not today but he will never again disrespect the House of Respresetatives with a State of the Union address.


I hope she holds a press conference and declares war on his lies, condemns his Medal of Freedom bullshit, let's him know that he is not above the law and that he cannot ignore the House of Representatives.

Were I Speaker, I would have shut down the Medal of Freedom ceremony - not in my fucking House.

She made that Pelosidly clear

added that last line

He made a huge blunder with Rush, that alone, they can go crazy with - ads.

PELOSI SAYS SHE TORE UP TRUMP'S 'MANIFESTO OF MISTRUTHS' AS DEMS LABEL HIS SPEECH A 'RIGHT-WING REALITY SHOW'

President Donald Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday night was branded by Democrats as having the characteristics of a campaign rally, minus the loud music he deploys upon entry and exit. His populist political rhetoric was met with boisterous chanting and applause from his Republican supporters.

But this time, other factors were at play for the president, such as a room half-filled with angry Democrats, who throughout his roughly 90-minute speech could be heard from the press gallery above bemoaning Trump's remarks or doing chants of their own. More importantly, there was a speaker of the House over his left shoulder, who less than two months ago led the effort to pass two articles of impeachment against him.

The result was a public display for millions of Americans to bear witness the feud between Trump and Nancy Pelosi that's played out largely behind closed doors over the years, and it was far more significant than her infamous clap-back to Trump at last year's State of the Union.

This year's annual address to Congress began with Trump snubbing Pelosi's handshake and ended with the California Democrat ripping a copy of the president's speech to shreds. Her act of disdain seemingly took some of the spotlight away from Trump in the closing moments of the event.

10. A mutiny at the US House of Representatives.
Wed Feb 5, 2020, 01:44 PM
Feb 2020

A guest was invited to give his SOTU speech.

He took over the House of Representatives, told lies upon lie upon lie. Used the time allotted him a turned the event into a Nazi Rally for his own political advancement and ambitions.

Then to add insult to injury gave the highest honor that can bestowed to a US citizen, the Metal of Freedom, and gave that honor to the vile Nazi gasbag Rush Limbaugh while he stood in the visitor's gallery of the House of Representatives. All this done without the prior knowledge of the Speaker of the House - all the while specifically while being in her wheelhouse these political liberties were taken without her knowledge, consent, or approvals.

trDump should know better, when you are a guest for dinner in the captain's quarters you don't high jack the ship, toss him out of the wheelhouse, or throw him overboard when he invites you to be his guest.

But trDump does what trDump wants because trDump thinks he is the master of the universe - and fuck everyone else.

That is not how a guest should act,.. that is not presidential timber,... that is the type of mush one expects from soaking wet cardboard. trDump's actions only warrant ridicule. Shame on him !

Again, Malaise, you blew it out of the park. I thank you for expressing my viewpoint exactly. DJT and Limbaugh are both a couple of thugs. DJT just thumbed his nose at all the decent, law abiding, respectable people in our country. Instead, it was one disgusting pig patting another disgusting pig on the back!!!
