I'd like to see Pelosi in front of cameras explaining that this is what due process in an impeachment inquiry looks like. Private testimony, followed by public testimony, followed by a vote, followed by a trial, followed by a verdict.

And then talk about how Republicans who apparently don't know or care about the law are childishly obstructing due process.

Madame Speaker in a short time. I am glad I'm not one of them and I am damned certain that even severely impaired by drugs or alcohol I couldn't be that fucking ignorant.

The fucking nerve of them! How dare they sit there, eating pizza and mocking the process! Do laws not mean anything any more? If members of the public did such a thing, do you think they would be getting away with it right now? This is pure partisan bullshit and these motherfuckers need to be arrested. God, I hate them all so much, especially Gaetz! One face badly in need of a fist.

Dominos? Papa John's? Pizza Hut? - The certified secure pepperoni? or the deep dish Supreme?

Hope they also confiscated their electronic watches (not all are Apples), button baby cams, flasks with which to wash down the pizza, and exploding cigars?

Waiting for TSA? Put them all on the no-fly list! Make 'em take off their shoes! and let's see each of their x-rays scans! Terrorist pranks are not funny.
