Nancy Pelosi: Trump is "down to, I think, a beaded curtain or something, I'm not sure where he is"

In an interview, Pelosi told USA TODAY over the weekend Trump is "being a fear monger" by asserting immigrants will bring drugs and other dangers into the USA.

"He talked about terrorists coming in over that particular border, which wasn't so. He talked about people bringing in diseases and all the rest of that, which wasn't so," said Pelosi, D-Calif., who is likely to become speaker after Democrats take over the House of Representatives next month. "He's using scare tactics that are not evidence-based, and it's wrong."

Pelosi mocked the shifting message from the White House about whether Trump wanted a "wall," a fence or some other structure.

"First of all, the fact ... that he says, ‘We're going to build a wall with cement, and Mexico's going to pay for it’ while he's already backed off of the cement – now he's down to, I think, a beaded curtain or something, I'm not sure where he is," Pelosi said.

He cowered before radical hate-mongers -- Limbaugh and Coulter. These radicalized Republicans who call themselves "conservatives" are anything but. There are few conservatives left, and many racist, misogynist, hateful, destructive, fear-mongering, greedy, fascist extremists who claim to be "conservative" whose agenda is the destruction of everything in government for their own benefit.

A war hero, conservationist, and leader of the Progressive Movement, he put America's interests first. The nation's true interests. He busted trusts, regulated railroads, and created national parks.

I admire him more than I do his cousin FDR.

Today's GOP are not conservatives. They are fascists. They hate democracy. Teddy loved our country, and his actions prove it.

But Teddy left the Republican Party to form the Progressive Party. This was much more in line with today's Democrats.

Democrats in Congress are pulling off the gloves. They are no longer pretending to treat Trump politely because he's president. I'm waiting for one of them to call him a liar to his face.

He and Mussolini need some Metamucil then...

Constipation means having fewer than three bowel movements per week. You may have straining during your bowel movements and a difficult time passing hard, dry stools. When you struggle with constipation, you may turn to an over-the-counter supplement, such as Benefiber or Metamucil. These supplements are brand-name versions of different types of fiber used to improve overall bowel health.

She nailed him AGAIN! Belittled him and made a joke of him AND his stupid Tantrum Wall. A beaded curtain or something... This observation has the added punch of comparing his stupid damn wall as easy-as-pie to get through (as a workable impediment). It’s little more than a room divider! There for cosmetic and decorative purposes only. At best.

I think she’s brilliant!

Wed Dec 26, 2018, 07:16 AM

By showing him , and promoting anything he says or does for his PR event. They should stop showing him , stop repeating his talking points and propaganda , or anything from him until the shutdown is stopped by him, or it'll get worse , and he'll do this more. The Media should ban him now from being shown on tv, or discussed by name , or be used by him for publicity. The media should instead devote all the time towards the Russia investigation , and all the corruption going on, not his phony wall shutdown PR event he's using to distract attention with. The republicans will suffer next election for allowing this to continue.
