Pelosi: The Constitution Considers Me Trump’s Equal
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 3 Jan 19 | David Rutz

Posted on 01/03/2019 11:29:40 AM PST by seanmerc

Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said in an interview with the New York Times that the Constitution considers her to be President Donald Trump's equal.

Pelosi is set to regain the speaker's gavel after spending eight years as House minority leader. Pelosi was the first female speaker of the House from 2007 to 2011, and she maneuvered to get the party's votes necessary to secure the speakership again after Democrats won back the chamber in the November midterms.

In a piece with a headline declaring her an "icon of female power," Pelosi was asked by the reporter "if she considers herself Mr. Trump's equal."

"The Constitution does," she replied.

She is senile, and says silly and ridiculous things, like many grandparents in senior living centers.

She is likely to get a phone call from some scammers and try to pass a bill to send them money to keep from getting arrested by the IRS.

Pelosi got 1/238th the number of votes as President Trump, too.

Dear Pelosi,

You will have to read the Constitution to find out what is in the Constitution.

Sincerely
A Concerned American

You are, of course, correct. The legislative was supposed to be supreme, though the President had significant powers in his own right. The courts were considered clerks for the most part, not close to co-equal until John Marshall legislated himself the power to rule on constituionality of law (which has warped into declaring things NOT in the constitution to be constitutional and things which ARE in the constitution to be unconstitutional, but I digress).

By this logic, the head of the house would be perhaps OVER the President. But in the 200 years since our establishment, for various reasons, each branch as evolved to where the judiciary has the most power, the executive the second most, and the congress the least. DACA, for example, proves that the congress is totally unnecessary. A President established a new policy that actualy is against the black and white letter of the law and when another President tried to kill it, a court enshrined it as untouchable. Law of the land, no congress required.

So I stand corrected.

Pelosi is confused; she's equal to what Trump drops into the toilet.

Okay, Nancy, order an aircraft carrier group to go wherever you want it to go and see what happens.

Queen of the silver dollar:
“She arrives in all her splendor
Every night at nine o’clock
And her chariot is the crosstown bus
That stops right down the block.
The old piano minstrel
Plays her song as she walks in.
And the Queen of the Silver Dollar
is home again.”

I don’t know why this came to mind.

Just for yuks, imagine Paul Ryan or his predecessor saying the same of Obama.

You know, just like the Muslim Congresswoman yelling about Impeaching that Mother****er Trump today.

Watching her today has been like watching a cow chew it’s cud, she has a real issue with her tongue staying put.

******************

Just imagine if a Republican speaker babbled in an incoherent manner and/or had physical mouth control issues? The media would say they were unfit for office and be calling for their removal. But the MSM continues to ignore Peolsi’s obvious mental decline. They are on her team.

Well none should expect from the media anything other than what we’ve been seeing. They’re making a lot of money keeping the country divided and engaged in the divisions. The pundits with their tabloid discussions equally are to blame for the political climate.
