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.

President Trump will chew her up and spit her out. She will be in a fetal position sucking her thumb within a month.

The broad is so damned corrupt that she can never equal anyone with common sense and honesty.

Shove it, b***h.

May you come to a very unhappy end.

Soon.

The Dims should demand a new vote for Speaker. The one they just elected does not know the US Constitution. And the folks she is hiring in her office must be from Pakistan or something.

Pelosi represents a heavily Democrat district that’s hardly representative of the country.

She has no clue about our values and what we want for the country.

Yup. But her biggest power is that she controls the budget process, it has to start in the house so she weilds immense power by .... oh wait, they got rid of the budget process. Now it just automatically goes up all by itself.

Yeah, face it Nan: you're pretty useless these days.

Not only is Mueller doing all that he can to destroy Mr. Pence, but it appears that “Q” and his cult are also doing so! I am growing quite concerned about the attacks on Mr. Pence.

McConnell can do what Reid did with Obamacare and take a House bill and gut it by amendment to make any spending bill he wants out of it. Then he can send it back to her.

“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.”

The Media tore Newt Gringrich a new one for expressing similar thoughts relative to Bill Clinton.

Look for the Dems to hatch a plan to impeach both Trump AND Pence in order to “give America a woman President it was cheated out of by Russian interference in 2016” ...

If they get two for one, Pelosi becomes President, names Hillary Vice President and resigns.

A Rat wet dream. Good luck with it.

:: Pelosi represents a heavily Democrat ::

Made up, mostly, of people who busy themselves engaging coprophilia/coprophagia.

There are three co-equal branches and she's at the top of her portion.

She is at the top of half of a branch (she doesn't lead the Senate). President Trump leads all of the executive branch.

She's third in the line of succession.

You mean second. The President does not succeed himself. Also, the Constitutionality of putting Congressional leaders in the Presidential line of succession is disputed.

Everyone is considered equal. That means that race-based preferences are illegal. nancy favors them.

Does she mean the right of succession? If pres and VP are unable to carry out job, the speaker of the house is the one appointed in their place. That’s not equal.

gawd, she was crazy ten years ago and now she’s completely Jumped the Shark

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

I think her speakership is going to be a disaster for her. She has clearly lost some of her cognitive ability and may well show increasing signs of serious deterioration within the next two years. She clearly has trouble now expressing coherent thoughts.
