You can add constitutional illiteracy to Stretch's long list of "qualifications."

The case for her being right:

  1. There are three co-equal branches and she's at the top of her portion
  2. She's third in the line of succession

Why she's wrong:

  1. The entire congress is the branch that's equal, she still only gets one vote among 400+ congressmen and 100 Senators. She can control the agenda within the house but she can't do squat without the votes behind her. On the other hand, the President can veto all her hard work all by himself. And while she's at the top of the house, that is only half of the congress anyway.
  2. If the order of succession is the yardstick, than VP is more important that Speaker of the House. He's President of the Senate and first in line for the Presidency.

The Constitution considers you to be an old fuddy duddy who has outlived her “use by” date.

Put your phony shutdown bill to a vote b*tch - and we’ll see who’s equal.

I am sort of glad she’ll be back, talking like this every day, for the next 2 years. At some point, even the MSM might notice that she’s delusional.

Nope. Not equal. A equal branch of the government does not equal the head of that branch to be equal to the POTUS. Not now; never.

Pelosi is the worst of the worst and she bred an equally ugly and mentally ill daughter with a big mouth.

Some people do the world a favor when they leave it. These two are an excellent example.

Probably true. Congress is utterly Superior in our constitution. Congress can remove the president. But the president cannot remove the speaker. That’s why it matters so much that we have this jackass in charge of the Congress now. And that’s why it was so destructive to have that traitor Ryan in that position.

No it doesn’t, Nancy. The constitution considers you different.

Well, the Declaration of Independence considers her Trump’s equal, in that we have not class of birth in this country. Other than that, what does equal even mean? Does it mean that Pelosi agrees with Obama that Congress is redundant, therefore unnecessary?

A valuable clue as to what she and her ilk are thinking. It ain’t pretty.

Tighten the security around the president.

Honestly, she is not. She was not elected by the majority of electoral votes in an election that took place across the entire union. She does hold some real power, however, but she needs to keep in mind that she represents the people of her district and act in their best interests. I think she is fantasizing about impeaching/convicting Pence and then impeaching/convicting Trump.

If we were to chop off her hands, would this shut up the town drunk?

Reread the Constitution, you stupid bitch. You lead the House of Representatives. Donald Trump is President of the United States. See the difference?
