Speaker smackdown!



Nancy Pelosi ✔ @SpeakerPelosi

Everybody has read your words on the call. The Ukrainian President asks for military aid to fend off the Russian attack, you say “I want you to do us a favor though,” and then you spend the rest of the call asking for bogus investigations to smear your political opponents.

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

How many more Never Trumpers will be allowed to testify about a perfectly appropriate phone call when all anyone has to do is READ THE TRANSCRIPT! I knew people were listening in on the call (why would I say something inappropriate?), which was fine with me, but why so many?

The minute he more or less escapes the Mueller report he goes and does something else blatantly illegal in front of witnesses. The stupidity boggles the mind.

Over many years, she has demonstrated that she honors and defends the constitution, works diligently for the benefit of the American people, defends her caucus, mentors young congress critters, demonstrates reason and good judgement, and applies wisdom to see what's really so.

Donald Trump on the other hand --- appears to no none of the above.

Because Twitler has called "Never Trumpers" "human scum," he is calling Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman "human scum."

What have we become?

The readout is nevertheless quite damning, but it isn't the transcript of the call, which remains under lock and key by the Trump administration. Despite Donald's repeated assertions that it was a "perfect" call (whatever in hell that's supposed to mean), he has not released the full transcript. If it exonerates him - as he continues to claim - why doesn't he release the full transcript?
