House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) took a brief reprieve from the government shutdown woes to weigh in on the arrest of longtime Donald Trump associate Roger Stone early Friday morning.
“It is very interesting to see the kinds of people that the President of the United States has surrounded himself with,” Pelosi said, connecting Stone’s arrest to ” the integrity of our elections.”
Pelosi also said she finds it “bothersome” to see Trump’s “connections to Russia” and “the President’s suggestions that we should question whether we should be in NATO, which is a dream come true for Vladimir Putin.”

Pelosi neatly ties the Stone indictment to Trump corruption, election integrity (i.e., violating election laws to win) and also the quid pro quo with Putin and one of the ultimate goals, destroying NATO.
It’s “bothersome” that the President of the United States is a paid foreign agent of a Russian despot? I think it’s a bit more than merely “bothersome.”
Subtle, Madam Speaker, deliciously subtle…
Totally lost on the Trump Crime Family, though…
Hahahaha!
And after all the bullcrap we learned about the circular firing squad in the republican luncheon yesterday, Kelly O’Donnell said the negotiations to end the shutdown can only be be done by Speaker Pelosi and Trump.
The republicans are obviously hiding under their desks and eschewing any and all responsibility. McConnell and company could end this today. Eff them all.
That’s some grade A trolling there from Pelosi.
