It was chilling
Standing in a pink dress with her usual poise and dignity, Speaker Pelosi told America in diplomatic terms that The President of The United States is fucking insane.
"Not performing his Constitutional duties"
"Temper tantrum"
"Stormed out of room"
"Was not prepared"
"His family and his staff need to stage an intervention"
"He should take a leave of absence"
"Behavior that does not live up to the dignity of the office of The President of The United States'
"I pray for the president and I pray for The United States Of America"
Speaker Pelosi laid it out. The danger to our democracy is 1,000 x worse than we think it is.

(25,242 posts)She needs to get the Repugs to realize that they work for the American People and not for Trump. She needs to get them to do their duty and get behind her efforts to hold Trump accountable to uphold the Constitution.
If this gets to 'impeachment' - she needs to enlist the Repugs in the Senate to do their job and not continue to 'circle the wagons' around Trump and save him. She has to make them realize it is for the good of the Country and our Democracy.

(25,242 posts)all of Nancy's work on this - including an intervention - will be for naught - if Trump makes it through a Senate vote. You won't hear the end of it from him. He'll be more empowered.
If you think he's touted 'exonerated' with the Mueller report - how do you think he'll handle getting through the Senate vote?
I have to believe that there are some Senate Repugs that still respect the Constitution and still believe in the oath that they took to become a Senator.
I've said it before - there is power in numbers. If they got together and realized that if they vote in a block - there's nothing Trump can do to terrorize them.
This has got to be bipartisan as too much is at stake here and I believe that there are Repug Senators out there that still have a conscience.

(102,236 posts)your message so as not to trigger the President" spiel. Damn, I was burning hearing that. The latter was NBC's famous "go along to get along" WH sycophant, Kelly O'Donnell. I wanted to reach through my screen and throttle her.!
Pelosi dispatched them quickly and well.

(40,209 posts)Yep, she said so too. Some people didn't like the messenger but her book "Unhinged" was very clear in telling us all about this lunatic.

(49,001 posts)Even though you put it in brackets, you are NOT paraphrasing something he said. You are making it seem as if you are paraphrasing. It is not appropriate.
Obama was speaking about citizens voting in elections. Not about politicians in the Senate.
Please don't spread fake quotes, especially about Obama!
