Pelosi steps up as Trump abdicates responsibilities
heraldnet.com ^ | October 22, 2019 | Eugene Robinson Washington Post

Posted on 10/22/2019 12:16:11 PM PDT by ransomnote

Last week’s viral photograph of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pointing her finger at President Trump and reading him the riot act reflected a larger reality: If Trump won’t responsibly lead the nation, Pelosi will.

The president has pretty much ceased being president. Trump never really seemed to enjoy the job, except for ceremonial tasks like handing out medals. I’d be surprised if he could name every member of his Cabinet, and I’d be shocked if he had the foggiest idea of what, say, Secretary Elaine Chao has been up to over at the Department of Transportation. Does anyone imagine that Trump even knows where DOT is?

Recently, however, Trump’s lack of focus has gotten so bad that it has become dangerous to human life, as the Kurds of northeast Syria can attest. Trump agreed not to stand in the way of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s invasion plans in order to get the unpleasant Erdogan off the phone, according to an NBC News report. Erdogan threw Trump’s “Don’t be a fool!” letter in the trash and now is demanding the right for Turkey to obtain nuclear weapons.

SNIP

Enter Pelosi, who is not the president, obviously, but increasingly is acting almost like a prime minister.

Over the weekend, she led a congressional delegation on an unannounced trip to reassure American allies in Jordan and Afghanistan. Given that Pelosi greenlighted the House investigation that likely will end in Trump’s impeachment — and, thus, that Trump sees her as his nemesis — the president likely considered Pelosi’s trip a slap in the face.

Again, I wonder, do the people that spout this utter nonsense believe it themselves?

OR do they all know they’re nothing but bad Kabuki, played to enthrall the denizens of Mom’s Basement (i.e., Democrats Underground )??

Written like a convoluted essay from the Babylon Bee.

Written by someone who has had syphilis for so long their brain is nothing more than mush with worms floating around in it.

I expected that a king from the middle east would not hold a woman like Pelosi in very high regard.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Especially a demented one, who can barely mumble/stammer out a complete thought. Also, Trump is a “man’s man” .... that is what leaders like the King of Jordan respect.

ROTFL. We tried to tell Eugene not to eat the brown acid. He did not listen to our warnings.

“In what universe does the writer of this garbage live.”

Eugene Robinson is a virulent racist. And he thought Obamugabe was a deity, and worshipped him as such. To Robinson, black trumps (no pun intended) everything.

...Ronald Reagan was senile and napped all day while others did all the work...,

Until they found the boxes of yellow legal pads where Reagan hand-wrote his own thoughts on every subject he encountered.

Lincoln was scorned, mocked and disparaged until they just couldn’t deny his greatness.

My D party parents were tight-lipped throughout the Eisenhower years.

Nixon was the evilest man on planet Earth.

Kennedy was successfully assassinated, probably by a multi-unit team of intelligence operatives. Alone on this list as a Democrat, he was the first (only) D POTUS to challenge the intelligence operatives.

GHWB was an amiable, out-of-touch fogey.

GWB was *shrub*.

Now: Trump.

It’s just SOP for progs trying to rewrite history wrt GOP Presidents.

They need some new material.
