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."
Like 6 year olds who lost a dodge ball game.
The Dems are going to go the way of the Whig Party.
They are irrelevant.
Botox is a poison - it has destroyed her brain.
Dear Ms. Pelosi:
You are doing a great job, keep it up.
Sincerely,
Everyone who ever wanted to see the Democrat Party die...
“Nan knows that Big Media will NEVER criticize ‘Rats for obstruction”
**********
You are so right. When the Republicans shut down the government the media was clamoring away on how obstructionist they were.
I wonder how many of the Sunday talk shows will be castigating Nancy and Chuckie for holding up progress?
She doesn’t have a lot of room to talk about budgets.
Batshiit crazy Grandma continues to exhibit her lunacy.
Trump doesn’t deal in fail they are SOL.
"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.
It's difficult to discern the reasoning here from this witch Pelosi. She claims that Trump is rash, but then complains that several weeks have gone by without him doing anything on renegotiating NAFTA. Maybe they can get Shelia Jackson Lee to stop looking for that American flag on Mars and spend some time going over the definition of rash with Pelosi.
pick up her marbles and go home. LOL
“...the first few weeks “have completely exposed the hollowness of the president’s promises to the American people.”
You democrats have blocked him at every turn! How can he be expected to get anything done when he’s fighting no-merit lawsuits in court and your army of ignorant rabble protesters in the streets of every major city, the so-called “news” media lying 24/7, and even school children being allowed to skip class and march against him, encouraged by their leftist (commie, union) teachers?
Trump don’t need no stinking Democrats
WINNING!
Good. Do not want to work with you, Nanny.
He wasn’t hired to work with Democrats. He was hired to crush them.
