Democrats pull out of White House meeting after Trump tweet - Polidicks

[quote]President Donald Trump is predicting passage of the Senate tax plan as he accuses Democratic leaders of being ‘‘all talk’’ and ‘‘no action.’’ The Republican president told reporters Tuesday that they were in a ‘‘very good position’’ after the Senate Budget Committee’s passage of the GOP tax plan. Trump was joined by top Republican leaders from Congress at the White House. Democrats backed out of a planned meeting after Trump attacked them on Twitter. The president left two seats open to his left and right with nametags for House minority leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer. Pelosi responded by saying, Trump “now knows that his verbal abuse will no longer be tolerated. His empty chair photo opp showed he’s more interested in stunts than addressing the needs of the American people,” according to NBC News.[/quote] [url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/politics/2017/11/28/don-see-deal-spending-trump-says/GboAYkLe7sNUP3QdnadIqL/story.html]Source: The Boston Globe[/url] [media]https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/935513049729028096[/media] [media]https://twitter.com/NancyPelosi/status/935547402278395910[/media]

Ah yes, the "Great Unifier" hard at work.

Proper response to a child acting up is to not give them the time of day.

Those Twitter replies are fucking cancerous.

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;52930957]I find myself agreeing with...P-pelosi!? God what even is this timeline[/QUOTE] Disliking Trump is not a high bar. To retrofit a quote stated by a newspaper from my country's 2017 presidential election "[Nancy Pelosi] does not like [Donald Trump], but don't let that fool you, he [I]is[/I] a bad president" :v:

[QUOTE=Potus;52930941][media]https://twitter.com/NancyPelosi/status/935621519820062720[/media][/QUOTE] lmao this is the most savage "Sad!" ever dropped. The one time I've seen it recently where it's actually been appropriate

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;52930957]I find myself agreeing with...P-pelosi!? God what even is this timeline[/QUOTE] I don't really like pelosi but I've learned that she's actually a very effective leader and was a good speaker of the house. She got shit done.

Sad Trump with empty chairs, SAD!

I don't blame them. The tweet was asinine.

That's right Trump, alienate yourself, make it so more and more see through your shit. I hope you hang for what you are doing to my country. I hope you get to see us rise above your evil views for this once beloved and respected country, you have everyone doubting us, but I know true Americans will not falter and fall for your evil tyrannical oppressive future for this country. America is great, we don't need you to try to make it great in your image.

Tweets have consequences.

"Look at the pathetic no-show Dems not coming to meetings after I state that their presence at said meeting will be a waste of time. Sad!"

[QUOTE=mcharest;52930648]Those Twitter replies are fucking cancerous.[/QUOTE] Why don't I remember that Twitter is like Facebook in comment stupidity. Short version: 45 lovers say fuck you democrats, Trump will be President for 7 more years, and popular vote went to him, Dems got illegal votes, the typical shit. [QUOTE=Potus;52930941][media]https://twitter.com/NancyPelosi/status/935621519820062720[/media][/QUOTE] Damn Nancy, I don't really care much for her, but that is a sick burn. Too bad someone won't care, or that someone's supporters will double down and bitch about it.

The walking definition of 'punchable'.

"all talk, no action" Yknow, if anyone else said it, I'd agree, but in Trump's case it's like an industrial amount of vantablack calling a slightly singed pot black.

It's been established since 2012 that in GOP Canon, an empty chair represents Barack Obama. What was Trump trying to say here??

[QUOTE=Lambeth;52932004]I don't think the Democrats can really be blamed for a shutdown when they have minorites in all levels of government[/QUOTE] That won't stop the Cult of the Donald from automatically accepting revisionist history about who's at fault for the last year of getting fucking nothing done.

[QUOTE=Fort83;52932553]They'll blame the Dems anyway. And his supporters will too.[/QUOTE] IIRC they (as in Republican legislators) [I]literally[/I] blamed Obama for the government shut-downs that they threatened they would do if they didn't get their way, didn't get it, and so shut it down.
