.@LeaderHoyer on meeting that just ended with Trump: "You're gonna hear the president say we walked out -- we were offended, deeply, by his treatment of the Speaker... I have served with 6 presidents... never have I seen a president treat so disrespectfully a coequal branch."

Btw, they both have personal staffs of several dozen and committee staffs of dozens more professionals. Good luck qualifying for a job assisting an assistant's assistant taking phone messages and inputing data in any of them. Chain-watching MSNBC is not a qualification.

Speaker Pelosi claims that President Trump was "shaken" during the meeting by the House vote today condemning his Syria military withdrawal -- a vote that included more than 120 Republicans voting in favor.

DENVERPOPS
(10,194 posts)It's the f***ing Republicans in the House and the Senate that are allowing this and condoning this behavior. TRUMP HAS NO POWER WITHOUT COLLUDING WITH THEM..........PERIOD.
Trump is just the symptom, The Repub House members and Republican Senators are the cause that this has happened for years!
It is up to people in their states to put IMMENSE pressure on their state's Repub congress members to stop this insanity..............Esp on the Republican Senators..............

(17,445 posts)Abusive people will say things to you in private and deny it later. Even though Schumer was there, just wait for him to deny he said it.
Am I overreacting? Sounds like he behaved shockingly, even for him. He can't speak to our leaders like that.

There truly could be a super-explosion in the near future, especially the way the closed-door committee interviews are going.

Hong Kong Cavalier
(4,586 posts)He thinks he's fucking god emperor of the country.
He praises dictators.
He lashes out at democratically elected leaders.
He's been "joking" for almost a year that he "deserves" at least two extra years in office. (You seriously think he's kidding about that? Tangeranus never laughs. He never really laughs, nor does he know how to tell a joke that doesn't punch down at someone.)
He's been calling Speaker Pelosi a traitor to this country. He wants someone to take her out. Just like he wanted someone to take Secretary Clinton out when he commented about those "2nd Amendment People". Just like he wants someone to kill Rep. Schiff.
This is, in my opinion, only the beginning of his 'meltdown'.
It's going to get worse.
