Trump: As far as I'm concerned, Nancy Pelosi is no longer Speaker of the House

[Miles Archer]

Just now, during his press conference.

[IcyPeas]

1. as far as we are concerned you are no longer president of the united states

[Iliyah]

3. Ditto . . .

Is he threatening Nancy?

[bdamomma]

39. bully

that is all he is a bully/criminal thug. STFU

Asshole jerk. I hate him.

[Shrike47]

100. I think he means she has lost control, AOC is Speaker.

[LiberalFighter]

113. Nope

[samnsara]

144. no i think hes nutty

[Bretton Garcia]

182. If he and Pence go, she's acting head of the US?

As Speaker.

So Trump's trying to discredit her in advance.
Anticipating ....

[FirstLight]

6. +10000!!!!!!! nt

[alwaysinasnit]

29. I personally don't think he ever has been the (legitimate) president of the united states. Besides

losing the popular vote, there is that pesky issue of foreign interference in our elections.

[SergeStorms]

87. I've never considered him as such.

Commander-in-Thief.

[BigDemVoter]

122. Agree 100%

I don't believe he ever had the votes to win the electoral college. The whole thing was rigged. We may have stupid people in America-- look at GWB and Reagan, but I just can't believe that number of people would vote for a genital-grabbing, lying, incompetent idiot.

[Maven]

32. as far as i'm concerned, he never was. nt

[Peregrine Took]

53. Me neither. Coming in via the Electoral College requires a huge asterisk

in the history books and should always be considered the "back door" into the White House.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

111. the electoral college votes were also stolen ...

1. Electoral votes are determined by how the popular vote goes in almost all states.
2. We know Russia meddled with votes.
3. Electoral votes were thereby as corrupted as the popular votes, and therefore illegitimate.
4. Trump is an illegitimate president.

[bdamomma]

158. And he

calls his Charlottesville thugs "as very fine people". He must have dementia he can't remember what he says.

[skypilot]

72. No longer?

More like "have never been".

[EveHammond13]

96. +1

[DENVERPOPS]

117. As far as I am concerned

As far as I am concerned, he was NEVER president of the United States.........

[trueblue2007]

127. True Blue: As far as I'm concerned, Donald Rump has NEVER been President of the USA. NEVER

[TheCowsCameHome]

146. He never was, in my book.

n/t

[Cha]

164. trump never was, afaic.

[FirstLight]

2. wtf?

He's gone mad.... this is gold.


I'm at work, thanks for giving us some of the finer points of his word salad...

[dweller]

4. there better be damned tight security around her

NOW

😡

✌🏼

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. He is full of shit, as usual. n/t

[jaysunb]

44. Love your candor. LOL n/t

[stonecutter357]

7. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi !

[Corgigal]

8. And as far as I'm concerned Trump,

you're a criminal. Always been and always will be.

He's doing his tough guy impression, badly.

This work, try your own.

[underpants]

9. When you get burnt like toast...

See here

This might help

[Stuart G]

10. Wasn't the Press conference scheduled for 4pm ET??

[C_U_L8R]

11. Next thing he'll try to dissolve Congress.

[Iliyah]

16. I would not be surprised.

[alwaysinasnit]

34. Who knows, he might declare a state of emergency because of Pelosi's "coup" and with the

GOP-packed courts, that is not out of the realm of possibility.

[amywalk]

61. This has been their plan all along with the GOP packing of the courts.

One of the first things that should happen, after he has been impeached, is to undo all of his court appointments, starting with Kavanaugh (and the corruption of the SUpremes) and working through all of the completely unqualified federal judges.

[LittleGirl]

93. +1 eom

[lagomorph777]

123. Most of them will turn out to be crooks if we look closely. Impeach 'em.

[bdamomma]

38. that's what he is hoping for

he's a wanna be dictator.

[keithbvadu2]

88. Trump never wanted to govern or lead... He wants to rule.

[notdarkyet]

180. He wants money, best pot of tokens he's ever had. Stealing millions from us, cages,turnbell.

He’s always raking it in.

[Javaman]

12. okay, sparky, whatever you say...

[malaise]

13. Let that sink in

Damn!

[BeyondGeography]

14. Seems the radical left done stole her

[Miles Archer]

19. Yeah, he said she's "lost her way"...said it twice, then dropped that little nugget.

This was in addition to a lengthy and rambling Hillary rant.

[durablend]

15. So, translated: "I AM KING, DO NOT DISOBEY!"

Amiright?

[Meadowoak]

17. Is it President Pelosi yet?

[happybird]

43. +1 zillion!

[Blue_Tires]

18. He's probably wishing and hoping that

one of his patriotic cult members will "rid him of that troublesome speaker"

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

137. He made that clear during the 2016 campaign.

[MineralMan]

20. I doubt Speaker Pelosi cares about your concerns.

Attack isn't probably your best option just now, Donwald.

[First Speaker]

71. He doesn't know how to do anything else...

...as the waters rise around him, he will strike out and strike back, utterly irresponsibly and utterly without shame. He is capable of anything, up to and including calling for his supporters to "protect the Presidency" in any way they can. I think there is a very good chance this may end in at least some bloodshed, though I hope to God I'm wrong...

[MineralMan]

76. I doubt there will be any violence.

I mean, it's possible, but unlikely.

[Thekaspervote]

112. Agree! His base is too lazy. Yes, maybe random acts, but nothing coordinated

[Sunsky]

21. IDGAF what you think

We need to stop broadcasting what this lunatic says.

[bdamomma]

35. he would probably

shrivel up he didn't get 24/7 coverage. hmmm.........

[Sunsky]

81. One can only wish nt

[Tipperary]

22. Anybody got a link of the press conference?

I was not near a tv

[kentuck]

23. Oh, she's the Speaker, alright!

And she just burned your ass and you don't know which way to turn.

[True Blue American]

86. 216 now

On board for Impeachment.

The Senate just voted against Trump Emergency funding for his wall

[lagomorph777]

125. Holy crap - almost there.

But we need to pull up enough additional evidence to get a few Senate Russiapublicans onboard. Then vote.

[Danascot]

132. ... 30 senators would vote to impeach Trump

Link to tweet

[lunatica]

154. If those 30 vote with the Democrats that's a majority right?

[lagomorph777]

171. Depends on the Democrats.

Would we have Manchin et al on board? Who would they caucus with?

[lunatica]

172. I guess I'm asking how many Republicans are needed in the Senate to

Vote with the Democrats in order to pass something?

[lagomorph777]

173. Very good question, which does depend on how many Dems we can count on,

and on what strategy is used against Moscow Mitch's efforts to stymie the vote.

[lunatica]

174. Thanks!

I just think that instead of counting Republicans who turn away from Trump, if we count the number we NEED in order to get something significant done things look very different.

My question is assuming all Democrats in the Senate are willing to impeach. I know that a simple majority may not be enough.

[lagomorph777]

175. According to the Constitution, we need 2/3 in the Senate to convict.

It's a pretty high bar when you consider that these asswipes oppose things that have 90% public support (e.g. gun safety).

[lunatica]

179. Yeah, I know

But we’ve seen a few years of the impossible happening on a daily basis. Democracy’s death by a thousand cuts.

[live love laugh]

24. Preview of his selection victory 2020

#youaintseennothingyet

[unblock]

25. this is donnie putting his fingers in his ears and saying "i can't heeeear you la la la la la!"

[spanone]

26. he's bonkers.

[torius]

27. because she'll be President aa soon

as he and Mikey are impeached and removed!

[Rhiannon12866]

150. +100!

[sinkingfeeling]

28. Just keep digging that hole deeper, fool.

[spanone]

30. Well, he's going to be concerned about Nancy Pelosi real soon

[LenaBaby61]

31. His big fat, orange, treasonous ass ...

Has NEVER been president.

[bdamomma]

33. that would be it for me

I would arrest his ass.

[HipChick]

37. Dah Hell...I've been avoiding turning on my TeeVee

but let me tune in and see what this fool is doing..

[RockRaven]

40. This fucking man-baby... Jesus Christ he is childish.

[MarcA]

41. Sounds like he is channeling Boris J. n/t

[Hekate]

42. Howling with laughter over here. Reading the subject lines out loud to my incredulous hubby...

Just going down the front page of DU looking at the subject lines is the most fun I've had in 3 years.

[irisblue]

45. Not. His. Call.

She was elected to her Congressional Seat.
She was chosen by the Democrats in the House of Representatives to be Speaker of the House.

I hope House Dems reminds yams for brains of that very soon.

[exboyfil]

49. And she actually doesn't even have to be a member

of Congress to be Speaker.

[Totally Tunsie]

140. LOL - I know I was actually hoping for a while

that Hillary would be named Speaker! Wouldn't that have been a kick? HA!

[Beaverhausen]

46. Well, she might be President Pelosi soon

just sayin'

[FakeNoose]

167. That would be delicious!

But I'm not even holding onto that pipe dream, I just want to see Chump's backside as he gets in the helicopter for the last time. He can hold up two fingers "V for victory" (a la Nixon) if he wants to, and I won't even care. I'll be swiggin' my 2nd glass of wine by then.

[flibbitygiblets]

47. Hey I guess we DO agree on something - she is poised to become POTUS

the way things are progressing along!

[Tiggeroshii]

48. Nobody cares

She can still impeach the fuck out of him.

[hopeforchange2008]

50. What does that even mean?

[SammyWinstonJack]

99. Yeah, really.

What's he gonna do, wish her into the cornfield? 🤔

[Newest Reality]

157. Shhh!

Don't think that! He will wish us all into the cornfield. Think happy thoughts!

[BlueStater]

51. Well, she is, you moron.

If you don't like it, tough shit.

[wryter2000]

52. Ahhhh...hahahahahahah

[cab67]

54. as far as I'm concerned, he's not a jawed vertebrate.

[George II]

55. That was funny, my jaw dropped. The poor President of Ukraine looked like he wanted to get out....

...of that, QUICKLY!

[Newest Reality]

56. Hard Work!

[Dem2theMax]

60. At the rate he's going,

(and I do mean with his mouth,) he will have dug so deep, we won't be able to see the top of his head within a few hours.

[Newest Reality]

64. I agree.

He is really shoveling it at high speed.

[MontanaMama]

57. Does he know he doesn't get to decide if she is Speaker or not?

He's having a tantrum because she told him NO on making a deal on the whistle blower!!!

[rainin]

58. Hey Republicans. This ok with you?

[keithbvadu2]

92. Pence? Do you agree?

[SunSeeker]

59. Dream on, Shitler.

[duforsure]

62. So,that means he and pence are leaving? Lol!

President Pelosi.

[BigmanPigman]

63. Perhaps he is refering to ner future position as POTUS

once Pence and he go down over Ukraine at the same time.

[bucolic_frolic]

65. Skilled orange hand with Sharpie blotting Nancy from photos as I type n/t

[NurseJackie]

66. Aw.

[YOHABLO]

67. Why are the idiots the ones with all the money?

[thecrow]

136. Because compassionate people give it away to the poor

as a man named Jesus told us to

[Newest Reality]

159. They step on anybody

on their way. It just takes lack of empathy, compassion and conscience and lots of practice with cutthroat manipulation. A sociopath, perhaps?

I would imagine a list of how many people T-Rump has screwed and how much he made from said screwing would go on and on.

[JeaneRaye]

68. Maybe he meant she's soon to be POTUS.

If Trump is going down, Pence is probably going down with him. Nancy Pelosi would then be POTUS!

[yaesu]

69. here is the moment

[bucolic_frolic]

74. Childish game of Kings and Queens to him

He's losing his mind.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

70. Once again it makes it clear he hasn't a clue how things

work in the real world.

He doesn't get to decide who the Speaker of the House is. The party in the majority decides.

I can sort of hardly wait until he tries to fire her.

[BillyBobBrilliant]

73. It goes here without saying

The 'most distasteful one' [trump] has never been a legitimate president.

[FrankBooth]

75. Mental illness on full display

If he wasn't such a raging asshole maybe someone would feel sorry for him.

[Beartracks]

78. Thinks he's Boss on a TV show. No clue how democracy works. n/t

[beastie boy]

79. So he knows that both he and Pence are impeachable, and Nancy is next in line

for the Presidency...

Good to hear!

[Moostache]

80. Can't even express how happy his facial tics and expression today make me!!!

The is literally about to burst because he can't believe that he is going down hard by his own hubris and foolishness.

I just want to watch him fume in a loop all day long!

[orangecrush]

82. ....

[defacto7]

83. That is the funniest, most ignorant and most absurd thing I've heard

since the last time he opened his trap.

[3catwoman3]

84. Not your decision to make, Donnie Boy.

He is SUCH AN ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pandr32]

85. She may wind up President Pelosi

[zentrum]

89. He just pulled a Boris.

Later today he will announce he's suspended Congress.

[beachbumbob]

90. Lol, he still has to learn and Pelosi will oblige...

Keeps reinforcing how much an idiot he is

[shanti]

91. Not worth listening to his verbal diarrhea

Fuck him.

[keithbvadu2]

94. So, Donald! Are you bringing Paul Ryan back?

So, Donald! Are you bringing Paul Ryan back?

[LanternWaste]

95. It's his version of stamping his feet and holding his breath. He's a man-child. Nothing more.

[struggle4progress]

97. "When I took over the United States"

While meeting with reporters on Monday outside of the United Nations, President Donald Trump referred to the beginning of his presidency as "when I took over the United States" ...

... Back in August of this year, Trump stated "I am the chosen one" while talking to reporters outside of the White House ...

"I think I'm gonna get a Nobel Prize for a lot of things, if they gave it out fairly, which they don't," Trump said. "They gave one to Obama immediately upon his ascent to the presidency, and he had no idea why he got it. And you know what? That was the only thing I agreed with him on" ...

Earlier this year, Trump claimed Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Abe, meanwhile, did not confirm the nomination but also did not deny it ...

[matt819]

98. 65 million can play that game

As far as we are concerned, Donald Trump is no longer President of the United States.

Hey, that was easy. Why didn't we try that 2 1/2 years ago?

[blue-wave]

101. Well

Once tRump and his buddy Pence are impeached and removed from office, the Speaker is next in line. So Nancy will be President. Nancy Pelosi rocks!! So in a way, tRump is correct, he's just thinking ahead a little bit.

[AtheistCrusader]

102. What, does he think he's Emperor Palpatine now?

[EveHammond13]

103. No, she's the President.

[trof]

104. Here's the video:

[Fritz Walter]

105. OK, Mikey and Cabinet, here's your cue. Article 25

NOW.

Get Dr. FeelGood or another MD (malpractice defendant) to certify that he’s spiraling down, out of control, a danger to himself and others — including everybody on our 🌎 — and remove him from office.

Sure, he’s going to show us a major meltdown, but that’s what weapons-grade pharmaceuticals are for. Use a dart gun, if need be, have a straight jacket handy. Whatever it takes.

The alternative is to let him drag you down with him. And the rest of the corrupt RepubliCON party. That might be fun to watch, but I’m more concerned about collateral damage (see 🌏 above).

Last chance to act, dinosaurs. The asteroid is heading your way and gaining speed.

[Sogo]

106. Well, after she impeaches his ass and all the rest of his corrupt administration,

....she'll be Madame President.....

[BlueIdaho]

107. Call her Madam President.

After Trump and Pence are impeached she is next in line for the Presidency.

[H2O Man]

110. Wish I'd seen

your post before I posted below!

[BlueIdaho]

114. No worries!

It’s worth telling twice. 👍🏻

[H2O Man]

108. She's not president yet.

But could be next spring.

[Guilded Lilly]

109. We long for the day that the only concern of yours...

that means squat is if you remember your cell number in prison.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

115. Yes we know Trump lives in his own fantasy world

[Hermit-The-Prog]

116. It rubs the orange on its skin and spews its shit on tv again.

[Newest Reality]

160. LOL!

[DFW]

118. He probably thinks it's Newt Gingrich again. n/t

[lagomorph777]

120. He should never have appointed her.

[redstatebluegirl]

121. I hope she has really strong security.

His followers are going to go nuts and do something completely off the wall over this.

[bdamomma]

162. Yea,

They will come after us the "radical Left" never stops with his hate and division.. Putin is sitting back and just watching all this, and it's being done by this ass.

[diane in sf]

124. Lol, good luck with that magical thought Cheetolini.

[trueblue2007]

126. True Blue: As far as I'm concerned, Donald Rump has NEVER been President of the USA.

russia MADE him the president

[yuiyoshida]

128. This President has the power to

Cancel Elections, and make himself President for life (Mitch McConnell and the Republican Senate would approve it) ...how would you like to wake up to that news?...something has to be done...We need a legal way to take him down or he may never leave office.

[Aviation Pro]

129. As far as I'm concerned....

...you can go fuck yourself, criminal.

[Aviation Pro]

130. Resign, fuckface

And you get your Level I pay and benefits and Secret Service protection for life.

Get removed and good luck with prison guard security.

[bonniebgood]

131. WHAT'S He going to do? Fire her and APPOINT A temporary

speaker named Gulianni? LOL

[ancianita]

133. As far as I'm concerned, ...

[reggaehead]

134. Maybe he should refer to her as

Madame President

[maxsolomon]

135. So, you AND Pence are resigning?

Then you're right. She'll be MADAME PRESIDENT.

[Rhiannon12866]

138. Because he said so??

He is seriously delusional. These are not his decisions to make - he really thinks he's Kim Jung Un!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

139. Nancy is speaker FOR LIFE, as far as I'm concerned, after leading the charge for impeachment.

She's fully committed to the impeachment process... it could have been sooner, but, no biggie, it'll all work out in the end.


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!! or

have always considered his tenure in the White House illegal and the republican party a criminal enterprise.
I neither acknowledge any authority they claim to have nor will I ever bend my knee to their will.

[C_U_L8R]

151. La...la...la... is not a strategy

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

152. As far as I'm concerned, he's never been the President of the United States.

156. Trump's going to have to book Mar-A-Lago for his next SOTU speech.

Nancy ain't having his nasty ass in the People's House.

161. As far as I'm concerned, Trump is going to Supermax when this is over.

He can toilet tweet from a maximum security cell.

he is changing reality to fit his own.

that's a classic trait.

there is zero he can do about Nancy so he pushes this bullshit so it fits into his bizarre world view.

because if he embraced reality, he would fall apart.
