Behind closed doors (2)

What really happened when the president met behind closed doors with congressional leaders in the White House last week and Nancy Pelosi wagged her finger at President Trump? In his remarks to the press immediately following the meeting, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy did not go into detail. McCarthy subsequently gave an account that contrasted with the one touted by the Democrats and faithfully disseminated by their media adjunct. In an interview with Laura Ingraham (video below, FOX News story here), McCarthy provided additional context to Pelosi’s performance.

In today’s New York Post Miranda Devine gives demerits to both Trump and Pelosi with this cutting judgment:

It’s never a level playing field in the #MeToo era and, unfortunately, women like Pelosi, butter never melting in her mouth, take unfair advantage.

Sitting next to Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer peers intently over his glasses at Trump like a scientist inspecting the entrails of a rat. Next to him, Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), leaning forward, also is studying Trump’s reaction to Pelosi’s harangue.

They’re working on cracking the president and the pressure is unrelenting, day after day. That’s their only plan to win the 2020 election.

Trump says he thrives on the pressure but, honestly, no one can withstand such a barrage indefinitely. It’s forcing him to make errors that slowly but surely are alienating those around him.

In her last point above Lambert picks up the thread started by Victor Davis Hanson in his October 13 American Greatness column “The strategies of targeting Trump.”

As a few have observers have noted, the media’s treatment of Pelosi’s finger-wagging as a heroic act contrasts markedly with the treatment accorded former Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (Republican) in her 2012 encounter with President Obama (Democrat). FOX News covered that angle here for students of ancient history. Governor Brewer herself commented via Twitter.

The news media hails @SpeakerPelosi as a hero for pointing her finger at @POTUS @realDonaldTrump but when I stood up to @BarackObama I was vilified as rude and racist. Such Hypocrites! pic.twitter.com/banxxQp7F1

Trump should have just leaned over his right shoulder and pretended to whisper something to the general sitting next to him, all the while grinning and slowly shaking his head. This would have destroyed wacko Nancy.

Schiff:

No one knows what it’s like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind closed doors
And no one knows what it’s like
To be hated
To be faded to telling only lies
But my dreams they aren’t as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That’s never free

Just to show how dumb these Republicans are, and their total lack of fight, I heard Jim Jordan mention that “we are not allowed...” to release information about what is going on behind closed doors in the House.

Well, Jim, genius, all you have to do is LEAK the way the democrats are doing.

Jim, if the democrats are exempt from following the law, then so are you. Man up.

If a leak goes unpublished, was it really a leak?

We need to ditch the “starchamber” reference. Most people don’t understand it. “Illegitimate scam” is more accurate and effective.

Why didn’t they have a stenographer at that meeting so there would be a record of who said what?

McCarthy gave a pretty detailed account, I thought. They had just started with POTUS handing out copies of his letter to Erdogan. The bee-yotch turned over her copy without looking at it and stood up to denounce him, as the photo shows. Then she and Chuckie stormed out while Trump called her a third rate politician. The meeting otherwise went well. What else to tell?

It could be called “death-starchamber”, as it is part of the Satan’s demon party chamber in modern America.

Salem Witch Trials. Stupid people like Dems is how these trails happen.

If Trump defends himself from attacks then he is guilty of criminal interference. If he doesn’t defend himself then he gets railroaded.
