President Trump on Friday declined to invite Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to the White House ceremony where he planned to sign the historic $2 trillion coronavirus rescue package passed earlier in the day by the House, aides said.

Friday’s snub marked just the latest in a long-running feud between the Republican president and the Democratic Speaker of the House.

1. This is who he is.

The man is an asshole.

[msongs]

2. better for her to stay away from highly infectious ceremony. nt

[Hoyt]

5. Exactly. No telling what kind of crud trump has.

[ArizonaLib]

25. She's 3rd in succession, isn't she?

nm

[Massacure]

39. Yup

President -> Vice President -> Speaker of the House -> Senate Pro Tempore

After that, I believe it is the various cabinet secretaries and ordered by when each department was first established.

8. All those weeks Turd spent shaking hands after CPAC? Ew, no thanks.

[LiberalFighter]

65. Yep! My thought too.

Especially when they were all close together.

[crickets]

79. +1

[Phoenix61]

3. Considering who he's been standing next to

I’m glad. I don’t want her anywhere near him. Want her to stay nice and healthy. Him, whatever.

[iluvtennis]

61. Ditto. nt

[bluestarone]

4. I wish a house would fall on

THE BASTARD!!!

[DinahMoeHum]

6. So WTF? he's probably a spreader of the virus anyway.

that fucking baby.





#newrostrong

[ReformedGOPer]

84. Exactly .

[liberalmuse]

7. Good!

The WH is probably crawling with Coronavirus. We need to keep this National Treasure safe.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. That's just as well.

Considering where some of those people have been (Mierda-Loco and other GOP petri dishes) it's better that she stays away.

[Progressive Jones]

23. LMAO !!! "Mierda-Loco" !!! I love it! nt

[Thekaspervote]

10. I'm sure she could care less! The American people know which side she is on

And not being around other probably infected people...good

[Scarsdale]

64. He was handing out pens

without gloves, or even wiping them first. I would not touch ANYTHING his tiny little hands have touched. Nancy Pelosi was likely relieved, she did not have to think of an excuse to stay away from that toxic group. He is a very "small" person, in every way.

[RKP5637]

11. tRump, is a sick diseased asshole, so it's best she not attend. n/t

[MyOwnPeace]

18. Thank you, doctor!!!!!

And I consider your diagnosis to be far better and more well-informed than anything IQ 45 has been spewing/barfing at his daily FU-Fests when he's surrounded by his latest suck-ups!

[RKP5637]

66. And I don't charge anything!

[CaptYossarian]

12. She won't be grabbed either.

[ArizonaLib]

16. I bet he grabs his hair plugs in private

just out of habit or frustration

[CaptYossarian]

47. Given the feline term he used, I was thinking of his gun-totin' sons.

[ArizonaLib]

48. I have heard his gun-totin' sons referred to in feline terms

Remember the bullet proof vest over the suit? He would have looked more masculine with a diaphragm over his head.

[Iliyah]

13. No other Democrats as well . . .

Nancy P and other Democrats needs to remain safe.

[ArizonaLib]

14. So far each of the replies to the original post of this thread

MADE MY WEEK!!!

It should be a national security precaution for succession purposes.

[MyOwnPeace]

19. Yeah, kinda like..........

the State of the Union, where they take some member of the Cabinet and keep him off-site just in case.
In this instance, they are obviously keeping the most qualified person in the entire government away from the actual event.

[ArizonaLib]

22. Yes - that would really scare the hell of the red states

Imagining those headlines.

"Imagine all the people...."
- The Dreamer

[DENVERPOPS]

15. Of course he did

He LOATHES intelligent outspoken women who confront his stupidity and humiliate him. Look at the women around him....Their only qualification is four pounds of silicone.......

We need Hillary, Nancy, Warren, AOC, and others to be beating the shit out of him daily in public, so that he starts a tirade of even crazier tweets and gets so worked up he has an aneurism. It won't solve the whole problem, but it would be fun to watch.........

[left-of-center2012]

17. I heard Sen Schumer wasn't invited

[TeamPooka]

21. let the GOP take credit for this corporate looting of our treasury. Stay away

this is going to be a corrupt clusterfuck eventually

[tblue37]

20. I actually prefer that she not be around those careless people who do not take suitable

precautions to avoid spreading the disease. She turned 80 yesterday, so she would be at very high risk if she caught cv-19 from one of those fools.

[tavernier]

24. Oh I bet she is devastated!!

[BlueIdaho]

26. What a petty little fucker.

May this new plague visit his house and the houses of his children.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

41. More than petty. He's trying to take credit and will say later he "fixed America". . . . nt

[Igel]

73. One wonders if she'd have gone.

Or made it a point of honor that she wasn't gone.

I also wonder if she didn't high-tail it out of DC before the sound of gavel's echo died out.

[underpants]

27. Every day she goes there he comes out played and looking like an ass

Every day she doesn't go there, same result.

[Raven123]

28. The best thing Trump did for the country - protected one of our most valuable legislative assets

By limiting her exposure to coronavirus

[Mike Nelson]

29. Well...

... she will be safe and healthy if she's needed to assume the Presidency!

[2naSalit]

30. Probably doing her a favor right now.

It's all about optics and she doesn't really care about photo ops as long as he signs the bill and forward motion is achieved.

[LakeArenal]

31. Another badge of honor for Nancy.

She’s going to need a sash to put all her badges of honor from tump. Misspelled o purpose.

Another nail in tump’s political coffin.

[treestar]

32. He is such a child!

Acting like that - I'm glad Nancy doesn't have to listen to his ugly voice, at least, or be near his infected office!

[agingdem]

33. like she gives a damn!

she delivered for us not for Trump..he and his slithering minions can self-congratulate without her an Chuck...I'd rather she stay away from the open sewer in the White House and stay safe.

[bucolic_frolic]

34. Simply a low class act by Trump

She did 85% of the work, she pushed, she's working far harder than His Lardness

[littlemissmartypants]

35. Who? Where?

Thank you, Madame Speaker for all of your great work and your sensible example for others, self distancing during this pandemic.

[yaesu]

36. tRump will take all the credit for this & MSM won't say a thing, he will now run on saving ameriKa.

[MFGsunny]

37. He is literally a bigly pustule on the a$$hole of class. OTOH ...

... The brilliantLY DILIGENT and effective Madame Speaker, a jewel in our American constitutional crown, reminds of Maya Angelou's poem, as she recites it!

?t=9

[meow2u3]

38. Trump's snub of Speaker Pelosi just might have saved her life

Since repukes tend to thumb their noses at social distancing and pack themselves like sardines....you draw your own conclusion.

[sinkingfeeling]

40. Good. She doesn't have to breathe his toxic air and smile for a photo op.

[Afromania]

42. That's cool, fucker is probably infected anyway.

[flibbitygiblets]

71. ...with any number of things

Let me say on Madame Speaker's behalf (Because she's too fucking classy):

"thanks large for not inviting me to your germ-infested cesspool, Barron Von Fuckstick"

[ancianita]

43. So what Dems are invited, anyway? If there are any, they shouldn't go, either.

They should ALL give him the Italian flip off.

[Captain Zero]

44. here's what Nancy should say:

"It's ok with me, probably too many of them over there carrying the virus anyway with all their contacts at Mara-Logo, Aipac, and CPAC. And any other of their right wing PAC meetings."

[handmade34]

45. a-ok with me

she needs not swim with the swamp creatures

[rainin]

46. She's safer not being anywhere near him

They could infect her on purpose. All democrats, stay as far away from him as possible

[Fla Dem]

49. What a child, What an absolutely disgusting bitter, nasty, evil child. Damien in the flesh.

[gldstwmn]

50. If you see the photo they are all standing in

a cluster so I'm glad she wasn't there.

[sarge43]

51. Oh yeah, she's crushed

Missed out on watching Moron thump his man boobs for an hour, then pass around the Sharpies he used to sign the bill.

Who would want a pass on that?

No doubt she was grateful as hell that she didn't have to attend that shit show.

[Demobrat]

52. AS IF

she wants to stand there next to him while he preens and poses and smirks like he actually did something.

She has better things to do. Way better.

[still_one]

53. Look what the f**ker did when McCain died.

[SunSeeker]

54. Everything helpful to working people is stuff Pelosi and Schumer put in.

If it was up to Republicans, all this bill would have was a Social Security draining payroll tax cut and a $500B slush fund for Mnuchin to hand out to Trump family grifters and corporate cronies without any oversight.

[47of74]

55. I bet it breaks her heart too

Not being able to stand in the same room as that orange fuck stick and bask in his presence must be so fucking disappointing. Must be so heartbreaking

[BittyJenkins]

56. Totally Nasty. And that is who he is.

[Historic NY]

57. No Democrats were invited I guess this is where corona gets it lime...

a room full of Republicans

[Steelrolled]

58. Why is this even a story?

Who is surprised, who cares, and what difference does it make?

[Ferrets are Cool]

59. I would have been scared for her to be there....there ARE infected people there and

ONE so stupid that he might have locked her inside.

[hopeforchange2008]

60. Lucky her! I wouldn't want to be part of his creep show eom

[Lulu KC]

62. Good

I don't like her to risk being exposed to anything about him.

[Salviati]

63. Pathetic.

Such a profoundly insecure excuse for a man.

[sprinkleeninow]

67. That's a gigantic favor he did her!

Petty hiney guvno hole.

[WhiteTara]

68. It's a blessing in disguise

They are a petri dish of evil and viruses.

[Skid Rogue]

69. After the impeachment, did you really think she would? nt

[CBHagman]

70. As usual, the narrative is that it's a "feud"

...instead of Donald John Trump's spite and insecurity.

[rockfordfile]

72. Well trump is impeached and a traitor. Why would anybody be near the pos?

[niyad]

74. Speaker Pelosi practicing appropriate social distancing.

[CBHagman]

83. Ding, ding, ding!

We have a winner.

[roamer65]

75. I noticed she wasn't there.

He was also violating social distancing BIG time.

[RandySF]

76. For the best

Everyone was crowded next to each other.

[quickesst]

77. how petty is Don the con?

He will not take the chance of Pelosi or any other Democrat receiving any credit for any progress in fighting this pandemic. Simple as that.

[onecaliberal]

78. We need her to stay well. We don't need her next to those soulless bastards

[raccoon]

80. Stay classy, Dotard. :sarcasm: Nt

[yellowdogintexas]

81. Of course he didn't!!! We all know he is a'skeered of her.

Actually he is terrified and resentful of her because she won't back down

[mahina]

82. Better for us, she is safer.

Still so low.

I bet she’s fine with it though disgusted.

[DenverJared]

85. We already know he is a petty, vindictive and stupid asshole

who doesn't believe in traditions, protocols and respect for the opposition.
