Another tweet, another call for an investigation.

President Donald Trump on Friday afternoon called for an investigation of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and her "ties" to Russia, just hours after suggesting the same for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

I hearby demand a second investigation, after Schumer, of Pelosi for her close ties to Russia, and lying about it. https://t.co/qCDljfF3wN

Trump's tweet included a link to a Politico story, which fact-checked Pelosi's claim that she had never met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. The outlet pointed out the two are seen in a photo together. Her spokesman later told the outlet she was referring to a "one-on-one" meeting with him.

This is the second Democratic leader Trump has tweeted about in regard to Russia. Earlier in the afternoon he called for an investigation of Schumer for a 2003 photo of he and Russian President Vladimir Putin meeting.

1. Old Trumpstain.

Get a grip, Donald.

[japple]

20. Old Yellowstains!!

He's projecting.

[Maeve]

2. Pathetic. Failed coverup by failing 45. Sad! eom

[vlyons]

3. Trump is getting desparate

His distractions don't work so well these days. We will now go into the week-end with Jeff Sessions on the hook for perjury, and Trump interfering with the RNC platform to go easy on Russian intrusion into the Ukraine.

[wordpix]

38. reminds me of his accusing HRC of everything he did badly

it's called transference

[KittyWampus]

58. NOT THE PUPPET! YOU"RE THE PUPPET!

[Roland99]

4. "HEY! Look over there!"

[UCmeNdc]

5. They should say, yes investigate all of us. I have nothing to hide.

[mobeau69]

15. And let's all start by releasing our tax returns. Sounds good eh, donnie?

[ananda]

31. Absolutely!

All public officials, Democratic, Independent, and Republican -- 45 included -- should disclose under oath all details about their meetings with Russian officals; and release their tax returns too!

[paleotn]

35. My feeling exactly.

[LW1977]

6. Holy Desperation Batman!

[Moostache]

7. When he goes to prison, I am contemplating committing a white collar crime to join him...

If for no other reason than to follow him around and spout inanities at him like his Twitter feed does now to the world...complete with his pathetic syntax and jargon...

Sad!
Dishonest!
Pathetic!!
Lying!
Fake! (hair)
So ugly!

[liberal N proud]

8. LOL

[fleur-de-lisa]

10. OMG that's funny! eom

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

12. But you have to do it in his voice. There's just no other way to do it. nt

[Rollo]

54. Actually someone did a perfect Trump impression many years ago...

[LisaM]

47. Ha ha ha!

Reminds me of a plan I concocted wherein I would be a basketball referee and work really hard, and make it to the Big Ten (men's) conference for the sole purpose of teeing up Tom Izzo every time he stepped out onto the court!!!!

[KingCharlemagne]

50. Thread winner. It's a dirty job . . . - nt

[Snotcicles]

9. He got awfully brave after Congress voted to keep his taxes concealed. nt

[Eyeball_Kid]

16. Congress can and will change its mind. The intelligence committees WILL demand

the Tax returns from the IRS, and they WILL demand to see the FBI investigation data.

However, I just heard a Malcolm Nance interview from yesterday in which he said that the information being gathered by the FBI is of a counterintelligence nature: they are looking at individuals within the Trump circle who are or may be Russian spies. If that's true, says Nance, the FBI will NOT surrender that information voluntarily, because sources and methods will almost certainly be exposed.

For myself, It's difficult to trust anything that the FBI says, especially after the HRC deal. I don't trust anything beginning or ending with "Comey." But that's just me...

[oldtime dfl_er]

28. No

that's not just you!

[wordpix]

39. Rep. Schiff reported yesterday Comey would not answer q's of House Intel Comm.

Adam Schiff interview with Rachel 3/2

"We know less than a fraction of what FBI knows."

[WePurrsevere]

11. Deflect, deflect, deflect... the more you point at others

who have been already revealing evidence and calling you and other KGOPers out for your lies and bs the worse you look and the more guilty most intelligent and sane people will think you probably are.

[Eyeball_Kid]

17. Because of Trumpy's newfound POWER, he has about a dozen aces up his sleeve.

He can wreak a lot of havoc for months and months before coming close to having some of his power stripped away.

[WePurrsevere]

21. He could IF...

Republicans don't see Trump and this Russia stuff burying them in the oncoming avalanche.

If they do, and it's our job to make sure they 'do', then they'll turn on Trump Corp in a heartbeat to save their own precious seats, lobby $$ and hides.

[get the red out]

13. He acts like a fool

How can anyone in this country see this and not be disgusted by how juvenile the behavior is?

[randome]

14. 'Demand'? Who the fuck is he addressing?

On a scale of 1 to 10, just how rattled are you, Dolt45? About 14, I'd say.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]TECT in the name of the Representative approves of this post.[/center][/font][hr]

[mobeau69]

18. This is such childish behavior. And the really unbelievable part is that

he's the fucking president of the United Sates of America!

[yallerdawg]

19. A silly, childish attack on the two Democratic leaders of both houses of Congress?

Will we ever see any semblance of a skillful negotiator and deal maker he lies about being?

This petty, petty fool is worse than we imagined!

[underpants]

22. "hearby" ???? It's "hereby"

[oldtime dfl_er]

30. yup

that's how you can tell he probably wrote it himself.

[Initech]

23. Worst president ever!

[underpants]

24. I hearby or uh here by agree ....hold it

Donald Trump Misspells ‘Hereby’ Two Different Ways on Twitter, Says Pelosi Has ‘Close Ties to Russia’

[Norbert9]

26. Calling him president is an insult to the likes of Dubya and Warren G. Harding himself

this asshole is NOT a president, certainly not a legitimate one anyways

[Initech]

34. Calling him anything is an insult to what that thing is!

Calling him a pig is an insult to pigs, etc.

[spiderpig]

37. Thank you for bringing this to the public's attention, Initech.

Love,

spiderPIG

[procon]

25. The man can't stop digging.

Its becoming increasingly clear that Trump is a dangerously stupid man who is unable to grasp the significance of the Russian attack.

[olddad56]

27. He will never grow tired of lying and attempting to turn things around to deflect attention

to all of his corrupt behavior. The republicans should really consider changing their mascot from an elephant to a pig or a weasel.

[ButSeeYa]

29. Pissident Trump is getting desperate. Sad.

[Kber]

32. I fully and enthusiastically agree!

I believe we should launch an investigation of the ties between Russia and all high level elected officials.

Key word: all

[salin]

33. classic Trump projection. Recue puppet video

[mahina]

49. Ugh. Thanks, saved me looking for this.

Ugh ugh ugh he makes me want to vomit.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

56. Trump sure does scowl a lot for a man who has had such privileged life

What the hell does he have to be grumpy about all the time any how? Worst temperament ever!!!!! Everything single word he utters is a lie. Biggest liar ever!!!!

I get a kick out the reports that Trump is so personable one on one. Bullshit. This guy is an asshole 100% of the time. If he is acting nice it is because he trying to con you.

[paleotn]

36. Unlike the keebler elf, Pelosi did not lie to Congress.

[smirkymonkey]

40. "I know you are, but what am I?"

What a pathetic, desperate old man!

[Fred Sanders]

41. Comical! I actually LOL when I read about this! Trump is SAD!

[old guy]

42. This is so unbelievably childish

that I cannot find words to express my contempt for this clown. Presidential my ass.

[murielm99]

43. I think it is more than childish.

I grew up with a narcissist. It was, and still is, common for her to accuse someone she has wronged of doing what she has done. If you don't beat her to the punch, she will get away with it.

I think trump's days of getting away with it may be numbered.

[KingCharlemagne]

52. It just exudes 5-years-old, doesnt it? - nt

[hurple]

44. Desperation

is so much fun to watch

[FakeNoose]

45. Stop reading his G-D- tweets

I mean it, ignore them!
Trump's tweets aren't news, they aren't fake news, they're nothing.

Don't read them, don't re-tweet them, don't comment on them.
If everybody does that, he'll stop.

Only thing that matters is what he DOES, not what he tweets.

[yuiyoshida]

46. Only a real

Asshole would do that.. and he is purely a Real Asshole.

[mahina]

48. Sounds like he's getting a little worked up about this.

Hitting close to home?

[truthisfreedom]

51. So?

He always accuses other people of what he's guilty of. No surprises!

[Rollo]

53. Trump is addicted...

To the tired tactic of "the best defense is an offense"...

I've seen him even launch an attack on a political opponent for exactly the same crap that he knows he will shortly be accused, because he's so very hugely guilty.

It's all consistent with his well proven track record of suing others who disagree with him.

He's a disgusting petty con man.

[Greensix1]

55. Pelosi didn't lie Under Oath

The Orangutan might need to be reminded that it was He who claimed no one connected with his campaign had been in contact with the Russians. He lied. Sessions lied under oath, which makes it a felony. Pelosi didn't claim anything about meeting the Russians, nor did she testify under oath. That's the difference. Trump lied. And Sessions lied under oath. Both of them are part of a massive cover up and probably guilty of Treason. Pelosi had nothing to gain by meeting the Russian ambassador, and Trump did.

[KittyWampus]

57. Pelosi didn't more than double her investment in a house by selling to a Putin crony.

She also didn't alter her party's platform concerning Russia/Ukraine.

[Turbineguy]

59. Putin may be regretting his pick for U.S. president.
