1. No wonder he had a meltdown

Madam Speaker!

[Lonestarblue]

16. I wish he'd had a stroke! This man is evil.

[brush]

52. The Speaker has the same suspicion about him that many of us here on DU do. He's a Russian asset.

All his decisions seem to benefit Putin and the Speaker just put him on notice about what she thinks of him

And I'm betting she has way more intel about him than we do.

[bdamomma]

53. Putin

and his short man syndrome has won. He has neutered us. I would never forget how President Obama towered over Putin to keep in his fucking place.

[brush]

54. I remember that photo. O also directed a look at Putin as if to say: "Don't fu_k with us."

trump bows and scrapes at Putin. It must be some helluva kompromat Putin has on him.

[Captain Zero]

64. Minors and Snuff

Is my bet.

[dchill]

80. Nothing else would satisfy.

[DBoon]

89. it has to be worse than the rumored pee pee tapes

i think you have it

[MBS]

84. Yes, it must be something big.

Even when we've had presidents with whom I disagreed profoundly, or distrusted in one way or another, I've always had confidence that they had the best interests of the country at heart, even when their ideas about what's best for the country were misguided or just plain wrong.

But this is the first time I've witness a president who has no concern about our country's welfare, and in fact has sold out our national security, and everything else that is valuable about our country - its natural resources, our democratic processes, the rule of law - time after time after time.

He has betrayed our country, and its future, and both he and all of his enablers (Pence, Barr, McConnell, Miller, and more) belong in jail.

[brush]

85. Yes, the whole cabal of them need to be tossed out and jailed.

The situation has become untenable. trump's ravings are that of a madman. He called Mattis the world's most overrated general who said it would take two years to contain ISIS but I captured them in one month.

Men in white coats should have been called immediately at that crazed, delusional hyperbole. His removal from office needs to happen ASAP.

[MBS]

86. Agreed.

When I read that delusional statement (made even as ISIS prisoners were being released from prison ), I drew the same conclusion.

He needs to be gone. NOW.

Charlie Pierce made the observation that the constitution provides for removal for crimes (impeachment) and for illness (25th amendment), but seems unable to deal (or at least not fast enough) with a president who qualifies for removal under BOTH criteria. Not to mention with a Republican party that has abdicated their own constitutional responsibility to stand up for the rule of law.

[triron]

69. You and how many billion inhabitants of the planet?

[doc03]

2. Good for her, someone had to say it!

[KatyMan]

45. Do tell...

And show your work.

[Hekate]

74. That's a pretty broad brush. Care to explain that assertion?

[egduj]

4. She's probably not wrong.

[MontanaMama]

31. She's definitely not wrong. n/t

[egduj]

46. That may very well be.

[dchill]

65. There's no other answer. Occam.

[Claritie Pixie]

5. Damn! She is so strong and direct. He is probably still throwing a tantrum. 👏

[Mme. Defarge]

6. Mais c'est magnifique!

[BigmanPigman]

7. I decided 5 min ago I will dress as Nancy for Halloween.

I have the red coat, sunglasses and a brown, bobbed wig. I can't carry anything though since my hands need to be free to clap like she did at the State Of The Union address.

[MLAA]

24. Perfect!!!!!

[LiberalFighter]

41. Great! :)

[BigmanPigman]

42. I saw a bunch of little RBGs two years ago

running around my blue neighborhood. Maybe this year little Pelosis will be out in full force trick-or-treating.

[LiberalFighter]

44. Just might

[Mersky]

48. Love it!

[Cha]

61. lol.. Happy Halloween!

[flibbitygiblets]

75. Stealing this idea Bigman! Right down to the sarcastic clapping.

[BigmanPigman]

77. The only problem for me will be

seeing with sunglasses on. My neighborhood has 1 light for about a 1/2 mile radius. Maybe my neighbor will act as a guide for me since my dog is almost as blind as I am at night.

[rurallib]

8. ooooh crap

Way to go. Pelosi!

But reality it is about time somebody tells the ignoramus the truth

[keithbvadu2]

9. Putting money into Trump was the best investment Putin ever made.

[orangecrush]

10. HOT DAMN!!!!

[Hassler]

11. Did Fredo Sr. nod his head in agreement before figuring out she was insulting him?

[LuvNewcastle]

12. Hallelujah, somebody finally said it!

Maybe now they'll mention it in the news. His policies are so obviously Russophilic that anybody should be able to see by now, but it's time somebody put it out in the open for everyone to discuss. He's a fucking Russian agent. Has been from the start. No, I don't think he's a James Bond-style agent or even a CIA guy with skills, I just mean someone who has sold out his country to another in order to keep himself pampered in the lavish, decadent lifestyle he's always led. He is being used to bring this country down, and he must be removed before he destroys us. In whatever legal way possible, someone(s) up there has got to do something.

[Mc Mike]

13. Dam' skippy.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

14. K&R

[Ilsa]

15. I can imagine MF45 screaming,

"No! All roads with you lead to Putin!" He's always projecting.

[dchill]

66. No puppet! You're the puppet!

[Collimator]

17. I appreciate Schumer. . .

. . . Laying out that single clear point to Trump.

A goal is not a plan. Trump has been so used to painting everything with broad brush strokes and shooting from the hip that he doesn't really understand the concept of a step-by-step plan.

He spews out his talking points, throws around weasel words and expects everyone around him to follow through on his "clever" ideas without spelling out any concrete actions.

[tblue37]

22. No, *Pelosi* distinguished between a plan and a goal, not Schumer. nt

[Collimator]

27. Thank you for the correction.

n/t

[ffr]

18. OH HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SLAM!

President Pelosi standing up for the majority, hell, ALL Americans today!

Thank you Nancy Pelosi for speaking truth to Tyrant.

20. K&R for visibility. nt

[empedocles]

21. Pelosi has been, and is terrific.

And underappreciated.

[empedocles]

26. Pelosi underappreciated, here at DU, of all places,

by some, who seem to feel they know better, than the Speaker.

[Sorrry. Just had to get some of that accumulated frustration off my chest].

[MontanaMama]

32. You beat me to it.

Lordy people around here piled on the Speaker.

[grantcart]

34. She is a treasure and a genius

[ProudLib72]

23. The Rump is wishing that table were wider

maybe wide enough to place him in the other room where he could hide in a closet. He has backed away from the table and turned a little, like he's about to make a break for it. Did they chain him?

[DENVERPOPS]

49. He's scared shitless

No one ever talks back to him, especially a woman............

[bdamomma]

55. He's a coward

and of course a bully.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

68. . . . and especially in public !

[chowder66]

25. Nancy is up against the table and Trump is backed away from it. Love it! nt

[Botany]

28. To his face

This tells me that Nancy has seen "the dirt" that links Trump directly to Russia and Vladimir and she knows he is a traitor and that he will be impeached.

[Marthe48]

29. Strength

She is standing, pointing at trump. The men in the room are looking down or away. You need courage to be a leader. Looks to me like Madame Speaker is the only leader in that room.

[Fla Dem]

30. Is this a pic of today's meeting? NP is wearing a blue outfit, just like

She was wearing outside the WH. If it is, look at all of he men, military included who have their heads down on his side of the table. They all know he is corrupt and are ashamed It took a woman to face him down.

[sop]

35. That poor general on Trump's right appears to be the most deeply ashamed

[bullwinkle428]

60. "WHAT THE FUCK MADE ME THINK I COULD HITCH MY WAGON TO THIS S.O.B.??"

[Ilsa]

73. I was thinking the same thing. The two guys guys to his

right look embarrassed and/or ashamed, as well. They know that they and trump are in deep shit.

[lindysalsagal]

33. His nimrod, low chromosome troglodytes aren't going to like this.

And we wondered if we wanted to keep Speaker Pelosi???

[Paladin]

36. Gotta love the looks on some of those around the table.

Some of those guys look like they're checking their shoelaces or something. Well done, Madam Speaker.

[HootieMcBoob]

37. Love this picture!

It just says it all.

[lutherj]

38. Nancy's subtext: "We have the goods on you, and we're going to watch you squirm." N/t

[brush]

88. Yep, no telling what info she has on his ties to Putin. His every move benefits Pootie.

She put him on notice to his face that she knows.

[polichick]

39. Good for the Speaker! Does she (and other Dems) actually...

think he works for Putin? I do, but it doesn’t seem that anyone in power really believes that.

[beachbumbob]

40. we should have this as our motto, "All roads to trump and republicans lead to Putin"

[The Wizard]

43. Trump is always

the victim. Tough guy no, punk yes.

[llmart]

47. OMG! This made my day.

This picture is even better than the red coat/sunglasses picture. She is nailing the orange anus to the wall and he's just sitting there blubbering and most likely, pissing in his Depends.

Oh Lordy, I do love that she did this. She is definitely Boss Lady.

THIS is what a leader looks like. THIS is true courage. A roomful of old white men quaking in their boots.

I LOVE IT!!!

[Danascot]

50. This is an iconic photo

When they put together the photo gallery of our era, this photo will be there.

[bdamomma]

58. Yes I think

your're right. This is an iconic picture. All those fucking ole white men, is that jerk Stephen Miller there? He needs to be brought into the spotlight.

That is the power of a woman.

[underpants]

51. Painfully obvious.

[SergeStorms]

56. Tear his head off, Madame Speaker!

It really must have frosted his flakes that a woman speak to him in such a manner!

Good on 'ya, Ms. Pelosi. Tear him a new asshole.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

57. That must have made him shit his Depends

[Cha]

59. WOW!! So Impressive! Damn!

Mahalo, Speaker of the House, Pelosi!

[GulfCoast66]

62. I think trump, deep down, just realized what equal branch actually means.

[Sogo]

63. First time I've seen this photo....

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nancy Pelosi was born for this moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gristy]

70. Me too. And, yes, this is an amazing photo.

Body language shows that Pelosi is just absolutely pwning Trump here. This photo is going to have a long and helpful life.

[spanone]

67. K&R...

[Miles Archer]

71. It's being repeated endlessly on MSNBC...I love it.

I've been too busy to see if it's trending on Twitter, but I assume that's either happening or on the way.

[Gothmog]

72. More fun

76. Wait - Is THIS the supposed "meltdown" Trump said she had??

So not showing obeisance is a meltdown.

Not groveling or kissing his ring is a meltdown.

Telling him he screwed up is a meltdown.

Speaking truth to power is a meltdown.

And doing so as a woman: DEFINITELY a meltdown.

Okay. Got it.



=========

[Beartracks]

78. Gonna guess she's "unhinged" because she's pointing her finger??

Okay.

[katusha]

79. just to compare and contrast

this is the kind of meeting trump prefers, no wonder his body language in the picture above is getting ready to flee.

[peggysue2]

81. As I have said many times . . .

Thank God this woman is on our side!

Look at the men on the side of the table with Trump. They're either staring blankly or have their heads down. They know the man is a disgrace.

Cowards. Each and every one!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

82. The General beside tRump would rather be anywhere else than there. . . . nt

[The Blue Flower]

83. "J'accuse!"

She's our own avenging angel.

[IndyOp]

87. The man in the foreground on the left - he is smirking, sharing his amusement

about Pelosi with someone to his right who is not in the picture. Everyone else at the table seems to be listening - looking at Pelosi or Trump or staring at the table.

[blakstoneranger]

90. SPIN

All trump can do is spin. He is so consumed with the media, he's afraid of what his base is going to think so he spins his own twisted version. But we've seen this before with another woman while trump sat with his arms crossed. This man is stone freakin crazy! SAVE AMERICA FROM THIS NUTJOB, DUMP PSYCO TRUMP 2020!!

[calimary]

91. She's just doing what millions of us crave doing.

Speaking truth to power - directly to his face.

Standing with you, Madam Speaker. You’re proving once again that the guts, smarts, leadership, honesty, and true patriotism are on OUR side.

I bet all those Y-chromosomes in the room are just WISHING they had balls like that. All but trump, who, frankly, is an insult to real men everywhere.
