House Democrats kicked off their retreat in Baltimore with Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) declaring that, while they previously vowed to work with President Trump on areas of agreement, there won't be areas of agreement if the White House doesn't change.
"Three weeks in the White House has really revealed that President Trump is exactly who we thought he is -- incompetent, and in some cases, in terms of our national security, dangerous. Perpetuating a massive con on those who he said that he would stand up against powerful interests," Pelosi told reporters Wednesday. "He's out there to Make American Sick Again, put Wall Street first, American values last. Dangerous, immoral, unconstitutional, the Muslim and refugee ban demonstrates that."
"As long as the president continues down this path there is nothing the Democrats can work with him on," she added. "To protect the security of our nation, working families, and the sanctity of our Constitution, Democrats will fight this administration, every day with every fiber of our being."
Pelosi slammed the Trump administration as "reckless, rash and incompetent," and said the first few weeks "have completely exposed the hollowness of the president's promises to the American people."
"He talked about renegotiating NAFTA, but several weeks have gone by, and indeed, a couple months have gone by since the election. He must follow the law, complete the consultations with Congress and start the 90-day clock. He hasn't done that. The ball is in his court. Where are you on NAFTA, Mr. President?" she said.
"Infrastructure, he talked a lot about infrastructure now didn't he? We said we'd be happy to talk about that as long as it wasn't a tax break for his rich friends but a real investment in infrastructure to see real good paying jobs in our country. Where's the bill? Show us the bill. We're hearing Trump's budget is going to be late. How late? Weeks, months, years? We've heard that he might not even have a budget."
Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) insisted that despite being the minority in Congress "we're not irrelevant at all."
"We represent the views of the majority of citizens that voted in the presidential election for President of the United States -- a plurality, technically, but 48 percent to 46 percent," he said. "So, we don't have to have our heads bowed. We don't have to retreat in any way."
"We do not believe that Donald Trump, our president -- and I recognize him as the President of the United States. I tell people: you know, he was right. The election was rigged," Hoyer added. "It was rigged by the Founding Fathers in creating the Electoral College. And that is sort of funny. None of you laughed. But the fact of the matter is, it was a device, not to reflect on the majority votes but the majority of states."
Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.), vice-chairwoman of the House Democratic Caucus, said, "Our greatest asset as Democrats is to organize communities, get them engaged, and to get them to express what they want from their government."
She said “Bush”. She is such a blithering idiot.

I thought that was what elections were for.
Nancy’s just fine.
Elections are pesky speedbumps. It’s about the revolution. It’s always about the revolution.
If she REALLY wants to ‘work’...there’s a perfect job for her down at the tannery ($15an hour and all you can eat) biting the as*&oles out of cow hides!
Worldwide Leftist Meltdowns=Long Time Hurting For The Worldwide Left, At All Political Levels=More Victories For Worldwide Non-Leftists
She is correct we have nothing in common with leftists.
I thought you and the Kenyan fixed infrastructure. Where'd all that money go Nancy? We're hearing Trump's budget is going to be late. How late? Weeks, months, years? We've heard that he might not even have a budget."
Didn't we go years and years without a budget rom the Kenyan? I don't recall your condemnation o that, Nancy.
Two faced nut job.
“Pelosi on Trump: ‘There Is Nothing the Democrats Can Work with Him on”
That’s the spirit you old sour puss...Get used to the nuclear option, aka the Reid Option.
I love it when we can beat the crap out of you with your own stupid ideas, hahahahahahahaha!
I think they could at least agree not to end a sentence with a preposition.
Your selling 6 year olds short. They’ll cry and complain but if you buy them an ice cream cone they’ll cheer up again.
Nice attitude there Nancy. You are really working to help this country out. Act like a leader instead of a spoiled brat. Sorry that you didn’t get your way. There are a lot of us that do not like your way.
Nan knows that Big Media will NEVER criticize ‘Rats for obstruction.
Pelosi: “Trump can’t be bought, blackmailed or threatened.”
“Pelosi on Trump: ‘There Is Nothing the Democrats Can Work with Him on’”
Toddlers typically don’t have much use beyond drooling and s*itting themselves.
“’There Is Nothing the Democrats Can Work with Him on’”
OH GOOD TO KNOW
We’ll just work around you then :)
Nice Telegraphing!
