"What was the quid for that pro quo?"

No real Democrat would attack Pelosi in print for asking a valid question.

What di you think was "bad-mouthing"?

It was joking about speaking Latin.

what quid pro quo means. It would be great to find a way to help them understand. Maybe by saying "what pro quo did he get for that quid"? Pelosi has a way with words. She should find an expression that will stick.

Your subtle reply went right over my head; but the Latin, legalese phrase applies to the Opening Post, because we both gave it something - publicity!

For anyone unfamiliar with the phrase:
Quid pro quo ("something for something" in Latin) is a Latin phrase used in English to mean an exchange of goods or services, in which one transfer is contingent upon the other; "a favor for a favor."

As for Pelosi and other Democrats I think they should focus newsworthy comments about Trump on income tax returns and related bank documents, like a horde of Obama Birthers, demanding to see a REAL Presidents birth certificate one more time!

Taking more - in front of media - about OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE - might also be an effective strategy!

in the wake of his recent, odious posturing at the UN General Assembly.

Should be fully exposed, and looked into. This is his pattern , bribe, threats, blackmail, and extort others to get what he wants, or else. He's a crook , and like Nixon will be removed from office, or try to escape with a sweetheart deal escaping justice. He's publicly admitting he's a criminal, and daring anyone to stop him now, and using Barr to provide protection from receiving justice from it. Barr will go to prison for all he's done.

etc....make them recognize the fact that corruption will drag them into it too

We've spent a lot of hot air on what deals the Republicans have made with the Russians.... but I've seen very little commentary on what Trump may have promised (besides the promise of NOT tweeting about them)

election season starts rolling. Start questioning the GOP incumbent on what benefit has he gotten from russia? Its down, its dirty and its a war to save our country.

F*ck this high road bullshit

Even if the candidate wasn't directly on Putin's payroll, indirect funds via the NRA, the Republican Natl. Committee might have been transferred

we must challenge the Republicans in the same, nonviolent, but firm manner. Questioning Republican sources of income is par for the course.

One notable one was on the 4th of July last year. They need to be asked about the Roubles they have taken.

keep the pressure on Trump Speaker Pelosi. Call more press conferences don't just Tweet. Trump is unraveling he will make more mistakes, he is one big snowflake, he is no tough guy, he needs constant praise and adoration.

Good job Speaker Pelosi, keep bringing it.

tariff war.

About the Hong Kong protests. But seriously who bothers to listen to Trump’s insane rantings any more?

"Too many jobs in China lost," Trump tweeted... Such concern!

UPDATED: Trump pledges to help Chinese phonemaker ZTE 'get back into business'

ZTE, a company involved in hacking American cyber security.


A $500 million loan to Trump related projects works wonders to make America protect Chinese jobs.

Too bad our coal miners did not think of that.

Pelosi must engineer a process in which the general public must be exposed to Trumpy's gross criminality. She must pursue the "turning of the worm" that is moved by over 300 million people. That's a hefty task. So we should expect a slow moving sentiment toward rejection of Trumpy. In the meantime, Trumpy is dictator. He's a dictator until he's gone. There is no middle ground with him. He will NOT modify his behavior toward a more "democratic" MO. He will get worse. And he is getting worse.

EVERY democratic congressperson, governor, mayor, town council member, road commissioner,,, EVERY ONE of them should be doing this.

And WE also, LTE, public educational protests, and on and on...

Pisshair did say that a lot of people may have interfered in 2016. He named China as one possible country.

similar to the color of the safety vests of highway construction workers.

There's a message that should echo through the halls of the WH every night, just barely audible, with reverb.

Mobster thug...is taking our country down the same path as his disgusting negotiating tactics.

Mahalo, highplainsdem!

After all that railing about how unfair he's treated, how the 2016 election was fixed and crooked?

He's a con man and a manipulator and a cheater

Impeach!

But knowing Trump, I suspect he offered them California.
