Pelosi snaps at Conway after tense White House meeting:‘I don’t talk to staff...'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi snapped at White House counselor Kellyanne Conway after a tense, aborted meeting on infrastructure Wednesday, a senior administration official told CNBC.

“I don’t talk to staff. I talk directly to the president,” Pelosi said after Conway asked the speaker a question, according to the official.

The interaction followed President Donald Trump’s abrupt exit from a meeting with Democratic congressional leaders.

Pelosi earlier in the day accused the president of engaging in a “cover-up” by blocking White House aides from providing testimony and responding to document requests from congressional investigations.

The president responded by saying he doesn’t “do cover-ups” and that he could not work with Democrats on legislation until they stopped investigating him.

In a last-minute press event at the Rose Garden, Trump said he “walked into the room and I told Sen. Schumer and Speaker Pelosi, ‘I want to do infrastructure’ ... but we can’t do it under these circumstances.”

Nancy is under a lot of pressure. Like all lumpenaristokrats she has nothing but distain for “the little people.” She is caught between AOC and PDT. It would not be surprising if she cracks.

She looked so red faced and splotchy on newscast coverage this morning. Also her face looked like an oil slick. I’ve read this is one of the reactions to botox injections. OR - she’s more than likely just a boozed out, botex-injected hag who can’t be bothered with the “little people”.

Or tell Pelosi “It’s hard to get around on two broken legs. As an Italian you know that. Don’t diss me again, capiche?
(This is only humor-—not advocacy of anything violent. As: I do hope you’ll be careful walking down the halls in Congress, Nancy. So many shiny waxed floors. Be careful, Madame Speaker.)

Definition note: (in case of wise FReepers trying to correct my spelling)- - - - -

Word Origin and History for capiche. capiche. 1940s slang, from Italian capisci? “do you understand?” from capire “to understand,” from Latin capere “seize, grasp, take” (see capable). Also spelled coppish, kabish, capeesh, etc. capeesh. variant spelling of capiche (q.v.).

As in never cross Conway or you’ll regret it.

Whatever happened to civility in politics? Too late now.

“I don’t talk to staff. I talk directly to the president,” Pelosi said..."

Not until your attitude improves, Nancy...

"I don't talk to staff..." means that Executive Privilege justifies "staff" not "talking to" Congress.

By the Speaker of the House's own words, she just gave President Trump the out he needs to keep his staff from appearing before Congress.

Excellent analysis! Chess-master President Trump outfoxed the sphincter of the House!

POTUS started this day, May 22 at 5:55 AM, with a flury of tweets.
No collusion
Witch hunt
Dems pursue impeachment
Do over
Dems fishing for anything

Seems someone tipped off the POTUS

Pelosi has always wanted her own jet.

She is a sucker for a personal aircraft.

Give her a plane and send her on a 3 hour flight with 30 minutes of fuel.

Barr and Durham are looking for predicate of the hoax.

If they go back far enough, that will be a link in the chain of lies that necessitated the Hoax

Remember she said the house is the “superior branch of government”. None of this equal stuff.

Nanzi is an insane, noxious, venomous LIEberal Democrat harridan!

She is a prime example of why we should NEVER, EVER elect a Democrat to ANY office in the USA!

Keep digging, Nanzi! Keep digging!

We are going to retire you in 2020!

Let us make no mistake about it:

A vote for ANY Democrat, whether it be in a local, state or federal election, is a vote against America!

America cannot survive a Democrat victory in 2020!

We need a group statue somewhere with Pelosi on one end with her "I don't talk to staff!" quote etched in bronze, next to Leona Helmsley with her "We don't pay taxes; only little people pay taxes," then HRC with her "Basket of Deplorables" quote, and Zero on the far end with his "Bitter, clinging to their guns and Bibles" quote.

And maybe throw in any of the large number of Liberal Elitists who have made disdainful "Flyover" quotes.

Extremely arrogant to address a high-ranking staff member of the president in that way, particularly when Conway is far more intelligent than Plancy Nolosi.

...preferably right in the middle of one of her ubiquitous press conferences.
