Because yesterday she was physically escorted to the corner of a room in the UN HQ so that Trump could trundle through without seeing or speaking to her, and this morning he started the day by mocking her for being on the autism spectrum. So yeah she kinda deserves to laugh at him getting lined up to be turbofucked.

He mocked her for being on the spectrum? I didn't see that tweet, but that is so exquisitely shameful. I know I shouldn't be surprised or upset at this point, but...

Pelosi apparently said "yeah tell your people to stop breaking the law."

I feel like a big part of this current situation is that Trump did admit it, and personally did it. Like, somebody posted an article from the same time where the DOD was like, "Yeah Trump personally ordered us to withhold the money and didn't say why" and then you get a phone call where Trump said it directly to the Ukrainian President that he was sending Guiliani.

Yeah I guess the thing here is he always contradicts the fox news line in someday, usually by admitting he did the crime, but that already happened so itll be something robber this time

i think he knows its all unravaling, even if trump doesn't get convicted(which seems very unlikely) mattering is happening and he doesnt have the power to stop anything and he knows trump is just gonna do stupid poo poo that will dig him in deeper. i think we might see some GOP ghouls start to turn on trump soon. at the very least the "moderates" and purple/blue state types may stab him in the back to save themselves or to say "see we did right thing". i doubt it will happen, but idk.
