Pelosi: President 'expressing a sign of weakness' with wall

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Sunday spoke out strongly against President Trump's proposed border wall, saying the Democrats do not support its construction.

"The president talks about how tall it is, who's going to pay for it and all the rest of that, but you have to understand this part of the country. There's a community with the border going through it," she said during an interview on NBC's "Meet The Press."

"The president, I think, talking about this wall, is expressing a sign of weakness. He's saying, 'I can't control our borders. I have to build a wall.'"

Pelosi said the government has a responsibility to control the country's borders. "Building a wall is not an answer," she said, however.

"Not here, or any place."

"There's a community with the border going through it,"

A physical border barrier is just a form of organizing....

In WWII, the US showed a sign of weakness by bombing the bejeezus out of Hiroshima and Nagasaki — we were telling the world “We’re so scared of the Japanese! We will never win this war! We will have to totally obliterate two of their cities because otherwise we will lose!!!!”

ESAD Nancy.

Slam-dunk issue for the Republicans, just tailor-made for them to run ads showing illegals crossing the border and how Democrats oppose it. But half of them are in the Dems' camp.

Republicans hold office.

Democrats hold power.

Open-borders, NWO-sellout, American-worker-backstabbing, perpetually-lying traitorous whore.

Is that too harsh?

Pelosi’s biggest sign of weakness is when she opens her mouth.

A more stupid wench existeth not in the multiverse.

Oh wait, there’s Maxine Waters.

OK, Pelosi is the second most stupid wench in the multiverse.

Oh wait, there’s the Hillabeast.

Ah, I give up.

BULLCR*P!

Absolute nonsense. Trump is the FIRST PERSON in over one entire generation, standing up against the globalist nonsense which has been mis-managing everything about America.

Republicans. Democrats. Everyone has been selling out America for the last 20 years.

FINALLY, Trump is standing up and saying America first.

It has been forever, since anyone said these things.

Trump is exactly right.

The world is a community with lot’s of boarders going through it. This is stupid. How about the other idea. Does the California border with any of the 49 states bisect a community? No? Well then solve the problem. Sell it to Mexico.

Pelosi ought to know better than try to psych-out Trump by playing to his manhood. He might turn around and accuse her of wanting an endless supply of young, sexy Latino pool boys for her estate. lol

She knows, and he knows that the reason for the wall is:

To ensure that border security remains long after he leaves office and will continue regardless of which open borders nut follows him.

Miss Lube Job does realize there's already a barrier between The U.S. and Mexico, doesn't she? And it's in her very own state. All President Trump wants to do is extend the wall on either side of it.

Here’s the (pardon the expression) beauty of Pelosi. Not only does she reflect Democratic “values” but she is in the Democratic power position. In terms of party leadership and a powerful elected office she IS the Democratic party.

Every Pelosi quote has about it this eyebrow-raising content that shocks the reader. “We have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it,” for example. Of the, say, hundred people who hear or read the quote only five or so thought it a reasonable, coherent, meaningful thing to say. The others, Democrat and Republican alike can only think, “That’s the most powerful Democrat in their party. Holly smoke, how did that happen?”

Why do people vote for retards like Pelosi? This whole immigration thing is a scam designed by the ‘RATS to turn America into a country full of people dependent upon a corrupt government that is full of corrupt politicians. Morons willing to trade freedom for free stuff and slavery.

No, you stupid, drunken whore. "Weakness" is a president who allows critical presidential decisions to be influenced by old, wrinkled political hags like yourself to have any influence in policy decisions.

Say, Nanzi, I don’t suppose the community you live in Marin County has a wall around it, does it?
