“A nuclear bomb in your pocket.”
Pelosi told reporters on Wednesday that it “pays to have a nuclear bomb in your pocket” when negotiating with President Trump, apparently referring to his recently smashingly successful summit with North Korea Kim Jong Un.
“Hip hip horay, unemployment is down. What does that mean to me in my life?”
Yeah, this one was so crazy even Donald Trump Jr. tweeted a flabbergasted, “She actually said that.”
“Doggie doo”
When asked in January about the Republican plan for short-term CHIP funding, Pelosi compared it to … eating doggy poop.
No, I’m not kidding.
“This is like giving you a bowl of doggie doo, put a cherry on top and call it a chocolate sundae,” said Pelosi. “This is nothing.”
The “spark of divinity” in MS-13 members
Who could possibly forget this gem from last month in response to Trump’s “animals” characterization of MS-13.
“Some of us who are attracted to the political arena, to government and public service” believe that “we are all God’s children” and “there is a spark of divinity among every person on earth, and we all have to recognize that as we respect the dignity and worth of every person,” said Pelosi, insisting that since we have “divinity in us” we need to recognize the same in MS-13 members, or something.
The “hypocrisy” of people of faith for agreeing with immigration law enforcement
Remember that time, just last week, when Holier-Than-Thou-Pelosi tried to criticize Attorney General Sessions and other people of faith as hypocrites for wanting law and order at the border?
“The very hypocrisy of the Attorney General to quote the Bible, the hypocrisy of all people of faith in our country not to clamor for what the administration is doing to end — whether it’s to deprive the dreamers of the respect they deserve or whether its taking babies away from their mothers and fathers,” said Pelosi. “For this administration to pose as people of faith and pose as people who care about family and children is of a height of hypocrisy that knows no bounds.”
“Strong employment numbers mean little…”
“May’s jobs report shows that strong employment numbers mean little to the families hit with soaring new costs under the Republicans’ watch,” Pelosi wrote in a statement early this month, referring to the strongest job numbers yet under the Trump administration.
“Crumbs…”
Ah, the ubiquitous “crumbs” comment. You thought I was going to forget that one didn’t you? Nope, I didn’t forget, and hopefully millions of midterm voters won’t either. Unless, of course, you want Madame Let-Them-Eat-Cake to be third in line for the presidency come January 2019.
“In terms of the bonus that corporate America receives versus the crumbs they are giving to workers to put the schmooze on is so pathetic,” Pelosi said in January, referring to news reports about employees getting bonuses as a result of recent GOP tax cuts. “And I would hope with their big advantage of bringing home at a very low rate that they would invest in infrastructure but our experience has been they will seek dividends and buy-backs. It is insignificant.”
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sen. Harry Reid (D-N.Y.) have told their fellow Democrats to stop talking about impeaching President Trump because they have come to understand the talk is not helping them with independents and is doing nothing to separate the president from his enthusiastic base of support.
Yes, among Democrats, 71 percent want to see the president impeached if Democrats win control of the House. But among independents — the key swing votes Democrats must attract to retake either house of Congress — 54 percent say they oppose impeachment.
But the most ignored figure in that poll is perhaps the most important. Among Republicans, 92 percent oppose impeachment — an indication of the enduring, unflagging support the president has enjoyed from those in his party.
Recent social media posts by tourists visiting San Francisco casts a troubling light on the City by the Bay over its homeless issue, open drug use and filthy streets.
Since the beginning of the year, reports have surfaced of hypodermic needles dotting the streets, piles of human feces and expanding shanty towns for the increasing homeless population -- and now tourists are noticing, SFGate reported.
"Is this normal or am I in a 'bad part of town?'” an Australian Reddit user asked the San Francisco Reddit community Wednesday.
“Why is this city so terrifying?” a Canadian visitor asked on Reddit Sunday.
Staff at local hotels and travel businesses have empathized with “shocked” tourists over the state San Francisco's streets.
"I've never seen any other city like this — the homelessness, dirty streets, drug use on the streets, smash-and-grabs," Joe D'Alessandro, president of S.F. Travel told the San Francisco Chronicle in April.
"You see things on the streets that are just not humane," Kevin Carroll, executive director of the Hotel Council of San Francisco, also told the paper. "People come into hotels saying, 'What is going on out there?' They're just shocked.”
The city’s voting citizens are also grappling with the crises plaguing their streets in addition to their rising costs as they prepare to elect a new state governor in November.
The Golden State's homeless population of more than 130,000 people is now about 25 percent of the nationwide total, and cleaning up after the surging group is getting costly -- topping $10 million in 2016-17.
San Francisco Mayor Mark Farrell announced in April a $750,000 initiative to hire workers solely to help clean up the city’s “hot spots” of needles and syringes—of which about 275,000 are collected every month by public health officials and nonprofit organizations.
“People are starting to ask, ‘Maybe we need a Rudy Giuliani?’” Jason Clark, chairman of the San Francisco Republican Party, told The New York Times, speaking of the former Republican New York mayor whose tough stance on crime helped clean up the city in the 1990s.
Even though “The City by the Bay” was named by the editors of Conde Nast Traveler as one of its 50 most beautiful cities in January 2017, it may not be enough to expect visitors to return a second time.
“We’re the most beautiful city no one ever wants to come back to,” real estate agent and city resident Anna Coles told the Times.
At some point I hope we ease back into a give and take, compromise type government... dems are just so weak and fucked up they have zero power and checks and balances is out of whack.
shot the lotters!
I think they were going for "looters" and got it mixed up with "No Loitering Allowed" signs.tbf many ppl have a hard time spelling loiterers
Well, my counter-argument would be that those individuals were never right-wing to begin with. Some might view this as a No True Scottsman fallacy, but they'd be wrong. I tend to lean towards the definitions of things when categorizing. A person isn't what they say they are, they are what they demonstrate.If anything, the right has moved to the left. They certainly don't care about small government, and the hardcore religious fundamentalists are dwindling. Libertarians don't give a fuck about pot or abortions. The far left has been growing with the free-shit army, and the main left wants to pretend that they don't exist, while at the same time proclaiming the entire right to be nazis.
Right or left wing requires context. In US politics, "conservatives" are just as likely to be authoritarian sheep. How else can you be against shit like abortion or drugs other than giving your government sweeping powers to regulate the stuff you dislike? Saying that right wing = small government is nonsense.
Hurricane, hurricane, animal brain derp, and people casting ballots because they are sick of the establishment cuckservatives and, rightfully so.
I think it's clearly more the rift between the left and the rest of the sane people.
The right hasn't moved.
