1. He thinks Dems are as gullible to his "reverse r__t fu__kery" as his sycophants are...

Far Left Progressive and younger Dems, don't fall for it. We need her experience now and I am convinced she will bring on the next generation of leadership along with her.

16. Snakes can play nice for a while, not to be trusted though.

[knightmaar]

2. Someone told him this is the best way to hurt her.

obvi.

[Sunlei]

15. 'someone' should remind him speakers third in line for his position.

[ellie]

3. So, we took the House?

YES! I stopped paying attention to the coverage when Florida went south.

4. "Watch me butter her up like a bitch." - Dirty Donny* (R)

"And then stick it to her with a massive display of authentic, degenerate KGOP republican family-values SUCKER PLAY. Ha ha." - Dirty Donny (R)

5. I wouldn't trust him

He just wants to get close enough for a grope...

[Bfd]

8. Omg...that's his 1st move! Yuk!

[Bfd]

6. Haa! Nice try Dotard you little shit , cuz mama's gonna swat you hard with that Gavel

Did he mention he likes her hairdo?

[William Seger]

7. He's just trying to protect the right's investment in Pelosi character assassination

He gets a big reaction from the deplorables by just saying her name, and that's all he cares about.

[watoos]

14. You nailed it, spot on.

Repugs, with the help of the corporate media have made the name Nancy Pelosi into something that's supposed to be bad. The truth of the matter is that she was one of the best Speakers ever. I bet if we asked a Trumper to say why Nancy Pelosi is bad, they won't be able to come up with one reason why, because there aren't any reasons.

Pelosi is tough as nails and in a fight with Trump I'm taking Nancy every damn time.

[BeyondGeography]

9. He's so hard to read

[duforsure]

10. Which means with trump

He'll be calling them names , and threatening them before the days over with. Pelosi should also be careful, he probably has some people wiretapped to get information to use against them with. trump's a crook, and a serial lair, so no deals until a couple of major things are passed as a show of good faith, or nothing gets done. DACA kids and Medical MJ would increase Dems support in those two groups they need more support from, or again in 2020 it may not be enough to win with.

[Hortensis]

11. The snarky jab probably got his approval,

but he didn't write this and forgot all about it within minutes. Means nothing.

At least that's the usual. He misses almost all dots, forget connecting them, is completely disinterested in most things he needs to be, has a pathologically short attention span and inability to concentrate, and an extremely bad memory.

All things to be thankful for.

“A third of my job was trying to react to some of the really dangerous ideas that he had and try to give him reasons to believe that maybe they weren’t such good ideas.” Rob Porter. Like when Trump ordered the assassination of the president of Syria, Russia, Iran and China's ally.

12. Sucking up. SO obvious. nt

[Sunlei]

13. LOL! A last second 'dig' at Ryan- Presidents been angry at Ryan for a couple months.

Ryan was quitting anyway.

Besides Ds control who is Speaker now & assistant speaker. Could be Pelosi could be someone else who has more time for the Speaker job.

Speaker job is a lot of extra work AND speaker is third in line for presidents chair.

just in case he & pence quit someday or are thrown in Prison for treason.

[displacedtexan]

17. So Trump thinks Republicans vote for the Dem Speaker?

Will someone please sit him down with an 8th grade government textbook?

And while they're at it, someone needs to tell him that he spent his dime's worth of credibility long before he rode down that escalator? Nobody believes he really cares about Pelosi, and it's insulting to tweet that he'll ride to the rescue if the Dems give her trouble.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[BlueStater]

18. I hear fart noises every time Trump opens his mouth. n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Words Apropos Of Nothing

Which of course, is anything put forth from those lips.

[sakabatou]

20. Now watch as he later insults, belittles and yells about her

[azureblue]

22. Donnie knows

She has him by the short and curlies, and he had better not piss her off (even more than he has already).. But Donnie can't resist himself -he will throw a tantrum as soon as she opens her mouth, and no doubt even further incriminate himself

[azureblue]

21. 180, hell!

Donnie thinks he can flatter the little woman and she will be so charmed that she will give him a free pass, and maybe she will even giggle when he pats her on the butt...

Nope.....

[Maxheader]

23. eh...Tomorrow it may call her a tramp...such is dementia..

You and I know it...cheetoz is a loon...most of its
rhetoric is off the cuff...Soon to be forgotten...
