PELOSI: "Is there anybody in charge at the WH who was doing anything but kissing his fat butt...?"

[kpete]

Bonus Exchange of the Day

Peril by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa includes a conversation between Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley, per CNN:

PELOSI: If they couldn’t even stop him from an assault on the Capitol, who even knows what else he may do? And is there anybody in charge at the White House who was doing anything but kissing his fat butt all over this? You know he’s crazy. He’s been crazy for a long time.

MILLEY: Madam Speaker, I agree with you on everything.

10. Are you saying that good old Bobby Woodward is less than plain spoken?

But he's such a cleverly contrived wit and so passionately dedicated to the proletariat. (It's a little known fact that he coined the terms: Passion and Contrived. He's quite old, you see.)

4. Ya gotta love Nancy.

[JohnnyRingo]

19. I always have.

I've followed her closely, and she's a political genius.
Her words are carefully chosen. Always.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

23. Nancy Pelosi doesn't pull punches.

She tells it like it is; she is serious and passionate about her job.



And I am proud of the fact that she was born in Baltimore, as I was.


You rock, Madame Speaker!

[calimary]

25. It just comes naturally.

I love our Nancy, too! Have for a long time.

[PortTack]

5. Kudos to madam speaker!!

[Deuxcents]

7. I can only imagine her fear

She’s third in line for the presidency n the number one guy wants to nuke China. Number two is calling Dan Quale (sp) for advice. Madame Speaker, being the only sane person during this madness, was right to call the military chiefs. Good god, how close we came to absolute disaster is frightening.

[NH Ethylene]

16. She sure had a lot of weight on her shoulders.

Thankfully she did a great job under incredible pressure.

[calimary]

27. Never lost her cool.

[mopinko]

8. the committee asked for any info regarding his mental state and fitness for office!

heard that on jonathan capehart's sunday show.
getting interesting.

this means med records from reed, unless he can surpress them.
haul them on the carpet over why no one would 25a.

[Croney]

9. When he hears that she called him fat, he'll retaliate with what he thinks is an insult.

He'll call her old. She'll laugh.

[Justice matters.]

15. Projection.

AGAIN.
ALWAYS projection.

[NH Ethylene]

17. Yeah he won't take that sitting down.

Or maybe he will!

[smb]

40. If He Sits Down, How Can His Minions Kiss His Ass? nt

[JohnnyRingo]

21. In the Rosie O'Donnell Club now.

hahaha
When Madame Speaker retires they should team up and make him their hobby.

[ismnotwasm]

12. NICE!

❤️💜💚💗

[Joinfortmill]

13. Ok, first public step in the take down of a traitor -

Expect a tsunami of of information, facts, and evidence to follow

[NH Ethylene]

18. That would be amazing! n/t

[The Unmitigated Gall]

14. Ohhhh Donny...

She soooooooo had your number!

[Champp]

20. Precious

[OnDoutside]

22. One for the ages !!!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. So Trump is a contraction of The Rump

It all makes sense now.

[luvtheGWN]

34. Hahahaha!!!!!

Good one, Mama!

[Blue Owl]

26. I'll never, ever fat shame anyone with one exception: tRUMP

I'll fat shame that fucker's fat fucking ass all goddamned day and enjoy every fat, juicy minute of it.

And you can SUCK IT Donny you fat piece of shit!

[lambchopp59]

38. You are forgiven my child. That McTriglyceride laden mountain of Medusa-esque odiousness

irreversably pollutes any space it even briefly occu-pies. And that's a lot, lot, lot of McPies.

[Grasswire2]

28. I want to see the pic of Trump's head exploding today.

LOLOL Nancy.

He will attempt to burn everything and everyone down. Nuclear warning sirens are sounding. He will stop at nothing to get revenge. He would blow up the world if he still had power to do so.

[musclecar6]

29. I don't think he's crazy

Just A ConMan liar and a cheat who is a Sociopathic megalomaniac who wants to be a modern day Hitler in the worst way. Thank goodness the voters threw him out on his ass.

[Lonestarblue]

32. He also knew he would no longer have the DOJ to protect him from past crimes.

That made him desperate to hold on to his power. He knows he has led a life of crime and NY most likely has the goods on him. I just hope they can make it stick because he still has some protection from the reluctance to prosecute a former president.

[Ponietz]

30. Word police notwithstanding

There is a right time and place to use the word “fat” in a derogatory manner, and Madame Speaker has my complete respect and admiration for using it.

[BigmanPigman]

35. I was wondering when that would be mentioned on DU.

I expected "don't fat bash" posts. I think if you live by the sword you should die by it. The fucking moron has insulted every person's physical appearance, especially women for decades.

[Native]

36. +1

[llmart]

31. +1,000,000

This is the most epic Pelosi statement re: the orange one that she's ever said, and she's said quite a few.

I just love this woman. She would have made a terrific President herself.

[Duppers]

33. Is FUX reporting any of this??

[lambchopp59]

37. Madam Speaker, I also agree with you on everything.

This confirms every deep feeling of implicit trust I've always had towards our embattled hero. I dearly love waking up to a news snippet that made me smile for a change. For a painfully long, overdue change, beyond faith restored after the the last election and the dismal failure of the cray cray wackadoo Newsom recall effort.
Who can possibly ever forget this moment:

[Evolve Dammit]

39. We came very close to a major catastrophe with the insane Orange One.

And he's not finished. He won't be until he keels over or is incarcerated. Either way is fine.
