Nancy Pelosi News Conference CNN

News conference to start shortly.

Chao resigning. WaPo.

Why do all these dumb fuck cabinet people think resigning is such a big fucking deal? They only had two weeks to go anyway. They all enabled trump, and they're all traitors to the United States.

Are we going to get a press conference from the Capitol police?

They're resigning on the advice of counsel, so they can avoid being criminally charged later. Trump is a seditionist. He's radioactive.

Chao is resigning because Trump is her boss and Mitch is no longer his enabler

The conference is now at 2:00PM Eastern, apparently delayed because Schumer and others have come out saying they support invoking the 25th.

Will the old bag come out to tell us "25 is off the table"?

Or she's resigning so she doesn't have to decide whether to help invoke the 25th or not because it would be bad for Mitch politically.

I see the Trumpsters have arrived with their fanfic.

WHY IS IT DELAYED? WHY IS IT DELAYED? IS NANCY PELOSI SAFE?

[quote]House Speaker Nancy Pelosi news conference now delayed to 2p ET — in the last two hours, House Dem caucus chair Jeffries and Schumer have both called for Trump removal either by 25th Amendment or impeachment.

The rumor is that she was going to announce the articles of impeachment, but now they're talking 25th instead.

Lol I rescheduled a COVID testing appt at 2:00 to see this!!

My appt's now at 3:30 so they need to move this along!!!!

Re the 25th Amendment: Mike Pompeo, Steve Mnuchin, Wilbur Ross, Betsy DeVos, Ben Carson. THESE are the folks who have to gang up on Trump to remove him. It seems borderline insane to believe they'll go along with it. Just being realistic about it.

President Taft must be reinstated for the rest of the Fair!

As Bernstein was just saying on CNN they need to enact some form of "constitutional restraint" - not impeach or other instruments which take 20 or however many days to enforce or play out in terms of coming into force.

The delay is because President (love to say this) Biden is speaking now.

Can't Trump arrested for incitement?

Loved her suit yesterday

Anyone else read General Mattis' comment today about Trump "will be a man without a country"? Is that "code" for Super Max?

I very much doubt that they'll find 8 cabinet members that will take their heads out of trumps ass to 25 him. At least if they were able to impeach and convict him (meaning both houses) he would become unable to hold federal office again. Trump and his entire family are human garbage, and need to be disposed of.

Joe's pissed!

Is it too early to nominate President Biden for Nobel Peace Prize?

Nancy is speaking and calling to invoke the 25th or consider impeachment.

Has she gone live? Seems odds she'd run up against Biden.

Where is the link, r24? The PBS livestream hasn't started for me

Thanks, r24. Nancy is fit to be tied.

Much to the chagrin of the divisive Democrat-hating trolls here, she has said, in so many words, that if Pence and the Cabinet don't invoke the 25th, the House will impeach.

Go to your NBC network. Nancy is speaking there.

I'm watching it on WaPo

r24 All I could post is links to reporters on Twitter. I only get CNN on Roku and they are sticking with Joe's news conference.

I'd chop off a few fingers to ensure the 25th gets invoked. She's hoping for an answer from Pence today.

Jacket is a great color on her.

Exactly r28, all the "she said impeachment was off the table" trolls were full of it, as I knew they would be.

Live

.......

They're also concerned about Trump's mob showing at the inauguration.

Chief of Capitol police resigning.

Nancy was perfect.

[quote] ....she's resigning so she doesn't have to decide whether to help invoke the 25th or not, because it would be bad for Mitch politically.

Bingo R4.

Chao is slithering out.

I agree with my Republican friend, Nancy Sinatra has a great pair of knockers!

Wow, she called for it! And said if Pence doesn't, they're impeaching the MFer!

CNN is replaying it now.

'This man is deadly' - Amen

^^ Sorry, that was for R9 , not R4

Nancy calling for either 25th Amendment or impeachment!

Fuck CNN for cutting Speaker Pelosi off! Wait till she's finished for your "analysis"!

"He's a very dangerous man"

- Nancy Pelosi

Trump will either: -do basically nothing but tantrum -engage the full fascism -try and ultimately fail to keep Republican support

These paths (with the 3rd being increasingly irrelevant; if these current methods fail and Trump insists on staying past these couple weeks, there's more extreme options) are all that exist. Even to the civility focused or addicted.

"Donald Trump is dangerous" -- Hillary Clinton, 200 years ago...wait, no, it was 2016

What did she say about double impeachment? Please quote

A dangerous man. A deadly man. Can't be trusted. She has said this for 4 years as have most of us. It's surreal to see it all play out and to have people (I'd say it's now a majority) finally FINALLY see him for what he is.

"Oh, and before I forget—the President is morbidly obese. I repeat: The President of the United States is [bold]MORBIDLY OBESE.[/bold]"

Now we wait and see if Pence continues to grow a pair. Is Dump negotiating a "pardon deal"?

thanks for that link r34.

Now let him have the wrath, Miss Nancy. Bring everything you got to cunt punt these sniveling cowards.

r49- don't forget:

I'm kind of thinking here r54 that they're taking away the keys to Marine 1, AF 1, anything that moves, burps, beeps, grunts, cracks, squeaks, etc.

It's very hard to get a read on Pence as he shows so little emotion but I thought he was enjoying the 'power' and pomp of his role last night. Could be projecting but I thought he looked like he was enjoying himself and would quite like to be president. On top of that he purposefully omitted Trump from tweets which looks like they have split. I cannot stand Pence but if the dictator in chief with deadly brainwashed followers told them all that if I did not throw out an election they should turn on me I'd be furious. He has thrown Pence and his family (who don't get SS protection and aren't wealthy) to the mob and I'd be terrified in their position. So, I'd say there's a 35% chance Pence is read for the 25th.

[quote] - don't forget:

"But her motherfucking emails!"

Seriously, CNN, Fuck Todd, Chris "I'M SO OUTRAGED!!" Hayes, and Bernie Bros, among others, can fuck off forever.

Yeah, that point exactly about lack of protection for Pence and his family was HUGE - CNN did big reporting on that today I noticed. So Pence clearly not impressed.

Does this mean no Infrastructure Week?

R61 Oh thanks I'll go look for what they said because I was worried for him and wondered why nobody was mentioning it.

[quote] Chief of Capitol police resigning.

Link?

Because as we speak they’re reporting he’s defending his officers response to this.

It came up definitely r63. I remember because I stopped in my tracks and it sounded kind of odd that Pence would "blow this up" or whoever was speaking for him. Then there was another "big" quote in SM with Pence reportedly saying "After all I did for Trump" kind of thing.

In the presser Nancy said she was called for his resignation but he had agreed to resign. If he had not she was going to call for it at the presser.

R50 You lying, retarded cunt.

Seriously, just shut the fuck up.

R50 Just say I am a stupid racist shithead and be done!

You sound like you're proud of that, R68

Please clarify r66, I can't understand what you're saying. He agreed to resign?

I missed 3/4 of Nancy Pelosi conference so surprised to hear this, too, r70.

I think it means that Trump has seemed to agree to a peaceful transfer of power

The house sergeant at arms is resigning. Pelosi is calling on the chief of capitol police to resign.

Briana Keilar is on 🔥 🔥 🔥 today.

Got it, R73, thanks.

Yes, the Sergeant at Arms resigned before she had to ask for it, but the Chief of the Capitol Police hasn't. Yet. I suspect he will soon enough.

Ghouliani's "trial by combat" remark yesterday was pure Bannon or whatever his name is. They're thick as thieves those guys.

Terrific, powerful speech from Pelosi.

There is no rational reason not to arrest Giuliani and Trump Jr. for inciting a riot right now. They wouldn't arrest Trump until he leaves office, which probably won't happen anyway.

But I guess accountability is only for the little people.

Nancy calls to invoke the 25th today. Good.

Nancy was great, especially for an 80-year-old who was up all night. The journos asked dumb questions. Not one asked whether there will be any repercussions for Cruz, et al. One kept trying to get her to give him a specific amount of time we'd have to wait before Pence indicates whether he'll invite the 25th. "Will it be 24 hours? 48 hours? By the end of today?" How the fuck should Nancy know, you dumb cluck?

When do Ossoff and Warnock get sworn in? I ask because if they are sworn in before impeachment proceedings are started there’s no way that McConnell can stop the process.

*invoke

Pence refused to talk to Nancy and Chuck.

Trump has banned Pence from the White House.

Source r83?

I'm wrong. It was Pence, chief of staff.

When you've lost Meghan...

I wonder if Dan knows anything.

I think Republicans should get on board with impeachment. This guarantees Trump can't run again and can get his pardon powers taken away. They could do it in one day if they wanted.

Is anyone calling for the resignations of Cruz and Hawly, because if they aren't they should? Not that I think either of them would resign but the call needs to be made to tarnish them further.

Is this the first time Nancy has publicly accused him of being Putin's tool? She was rightfully furious

Has Ivankunt issued a statement?

R87, If Pence promises and follows through with a pardon, then he needs to be tried as a traitor.

Trump needs to be held accountable. No excuses.

She doesn't look 100% like herself. I think she got shaken up b/c that creepy guy was photo'd in her office, sitting on her chair.

[quote] She doesn't look 100% like herself.

She's also 80 years old and had to stay at work until 4:30am babysitting democracy.

Say what you will about Nancy, but she's a tough old bird; she's 80, she's been up all night, she's been through a traumatic experience for anyone of any age and her space has been desecrated by gross creeps. I think if it was me, I'd be in bed crying and swigging whiskey, not standing at a new conference and being the only person in the room with big enough balls to call for Dump's removal.

I saw an ashtray on her desk. Nancy is a smoker, I think. Feel bad for her. My God.

If she was a smoker, she certainly wouldn't be violating federal law by smoking in her office or on the Speaker's balcony.

Watching CNN right now, Colin Powell makes me sick. He wants to get Trump out ASAP but is getting pissed off with Wolf Blitzer for asking why 25 shouldn't be invoked. Always an Uncle Tom.

r98 and he keeps saying this is all Congress' fault. What?

Trump plans to pardon himself if he can get away with it.

[quote]I think Republicans should get on board with impeachment. This guarantees Trump can't run again and can get his pardon powers taken away. They could do it in one day if they wanted.

How do you think this would be remotely possible? A full indictment, trial, and conviction in ONE DAY?

[quote]Nancy was great, especially for an 80-year-old who was up all night. The journos asked dumb questions. Not one asked whether there will be any repercussions for Cruz, et al.

It seems like that would have been the ultimate "dumb question." Why would Nancy have anything to do with repercussions for a Senator?

Is jail time a possibility for Trump and/or Giuliani?

Can we post petition links here on Datalounge?

These people are insane

R95: I love her! Tough Italian gal. You rock Nancy!!

No link but I've heard on TV and read that the deplorable had his foot on a subordinates desk. Pelosi doesn't have a single office but a suite/complex of offices.

For those who've said that office doesn't look grand enough for her.

Her office looks very simple but I guess she's more concerned about getting the work done that the trappings of her role.

It was the dirty boots on her desk that set her OFF!

I hope he sharted on her chair.

He'll be sharting plenty as he gets gang raped by all his cellmates.

How did Nancy get so rich?

The old fashioned way: she married it.

Good for her, she's a sexy octogenarian bitch

R110, you’re a huge huge huge gaping stinky rotten vagina — you eat your mommy’s pussy.

That stupid asshole who invaded Nancy's office has been arrested. He's 60 years old...Hopefully he'll spend the rest of his life in a prison cell!
