Pelosi says Trump is a 'potty-mouth' after 'beyond disgraceful' comments about Biden

WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that President Donald Trump has become a “potty-mouth” during a conference call to Democratic lawmakers on Thursday that included talk about the impeachment inquiry, according to a congressional aide.

“One thing, I do want to say is that, POTUS – you know, that’s the President – POTUS has become a potty-mouth and children are listening,” she continued, according to the aide. “This is – this is beyond disgraceful. But, for him to say the thing that he said about Joe Biden last night was so far beyond the pale.”

During a rally speech in Minneapolis Thursday night, President Donald Trump delivered an attack on political rival former Vice President Joe Biden, exclaiming that, "He was never considered a good senator. He was only a good vice president because he understood how to kiss Barack Obama’s ass."

Frequently raising unsubstantiated claims, Trump mostly bypassed his standard lines touting the economy and his get-tough stance on immigration in favor of offering supporters a series of broadsides against the former vice president and his son, Hunter, who had business dealings in Ukraine and China.

I have a potty-mouth too. Donald Trump is a fucking asshole.

2. I think it's time to put a stop to Trump's hate rallies.

Because that is basically all they are. He does nothing but stir up hatred for his enemies and sooner or later someone is going to end up dead because of him. This has got to end and he has got to go.

He is a slave to Semion. Putin just runs the show, but doesn't own it.

no matter how many Jewish org crime ties he has. He's got bircher antisemite ties up the wazoo, too.

I was gonna suggest a dirty sanchez, but Rump hates mexicans, so would never engage in such named activity with putin.

7. Imagine if in the time of Hitler there had been the internet and Cable News

Imagine how much faster and furious his hate propaganda would have spread....

The Cable TV media needs to immediately stop showing this and also his twitter rants. They can report the news and communicate that he is spreading hate - but without doing the work for him and helping him propogate hate.

He is a repulsive vile monster who has no business representing our great nation. He is bringing shame and desecrating our Country, The Flag, the Constitution and office of the Presidency.

May he be impeached swiftly, removed from office and prosecuted for his crimes against our Nation and may we hopefully all heal the wounds and damage he had done and NEVER again let such a vile repulsive monster ever near the Presidency again.

...a potty mouth as a way of creatively expressing frustration, and having a potty mouth because you have shit-for-brains (potty brain) and are heartless, amoral and soul-less like Trump.

Trump is a crass, coarse, crude and common clod. The definition of vulgar.

10. Let's not forget that he has a minor child himself.

What an example for his own kid. I wonder if he'll ever be a well-functioning adult because of his parents?

I wouldn't blame Barron for a minute if he disowned him as soon as he's a legal adult.

14. every time I think he can't horrify me some more

he horrifies me some more.

That could be that he's actually getting worse, as many have remarked.

It also could be that he is under such stress with the threat of impeachment that he has to say such things to elicit a response from the audience, which is all he's in this thing for anyway, other than $$$ to advance himself and his business.

Did you see the faces on the audience behind him as he said "kiss his..."? The audience were at first in disbelief, but this rapidly turned to delight. They love this kind of thing. It was like Christmas morning for them.

It really bothers me that there are these kinds of people in this country. I don't recall which of our posters said it, but the other day someone wrote that she just wants to flee this planet. That's how I feel, too.

I had the feeling this one had been ONLY an attack speech, a hate-fest, and looks like I was right. If the pressure stays on I think this is how it will go and his supporters should be asked endlessly about it.
