House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) hammered the Trump administration's new budget proposal on Thursday, framing the president's federal spending blueprint as an immoral demolition of government that's doomed in Congress.
"I don't see how this budget can survive the light of day," Pelosi said during a press briefing in the Capitol.
"This budget is really a slap in the face of the future."

"This is systemic deconstruction of the federal government."

"As low as my expectations have been, this budget really goes beyond," she said.
"While it may be a statement of President Trump's values, I hope it's not a statement of our colleagues' values."

Turn the other cheek for me Nancy...
What a Carp!
To your point, be prepared for the Libtards to have talking points, internet/social media memes along the lines of:
- “...it’s only .02 of 1% of the budget...”
- The righteous indignation on FB of, “..I’d gladly give $6 a year for PBS, Education, Arts, blah, blah, blah...”
- Big Bird being taken away from kids.
- That Trump is the anti-(fill in the blank) President
They’ll do this while ignoring the fact that taxpayer dollars are not their own personal account. And, that nothing stops them from contributing out of their own damn pocket.
And her face is so full of BOTOX that she didn’t feel a thing....”What was that slapping sound?”
She is not as dumb as she looks
Wake up, Nanny. He won. Wake up.
A slap in Pelosi’s face. If only. With all that plastic, it might not regain its former shape.
“This is systemic deconstruction of the federal government.” And the problem is...?
Let's read the words of that great Author of our Declaration of Independence and President of the U. S., Thomas Jefferson, who, in his 1801 Inaugural Address, laid out what might be considered to be "qualifications" for the American presidency:(Excerpt, "Our Ageless Constitution," p. xiv, reformatted)
"Let us, then, with courage and confidence pursue our own Federal and Republican principles, our attachment to union and representative government. Kindly separated by nature and a wide ocean from the exterminating havoc of one quarter of the globe; too high-minded to endure the degradations of the others; possessing a chosen country, with room enough for our descendants to the thousandth and thousandth generation;- entertaining a due sense of our equal right to the use of our own faculties, to the acquisitions of our own industry, to honor and confidence from our fellow-citizens, resulting not from birth, but from our actions and their sense of them;
- enlightened by a benign religion, professed, indeed, and practiced in various forms, yet all of them inculcating honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude, and the love of man;
- acknowledging and adoring an overruling Providence, which by all its dispensations proves that it delights in the happiness of man here and his greater happiness hereafter
—with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people?
- Still one thing more, fellow-citizens—a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.
- This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.
"About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise of duties which comprehend everything dear and valuable to you,
- it is proper you should understand what I deem the essential principles of our Government, and consequently those which ought to shape its Administration. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they will bear, stating the general principle, but not all its limitations.
- Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political;
- peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none;
- the support of the State governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against antirepublican tendencies;
- the preservation of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad;
- a jealous care of the right of election by the people—a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution where peaceable remedies are unprovided;
- absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics, from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism;
- a well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace and for the first moments of war, till regulars may relieve them;
- the supremacy of the civil over the military authority;
- economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly burthened;
- the honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith;
- encouragement of agriculture, and of commerce as its handmaid;
- the diffusion of information and arraignment of all abuses at the bar of the public reason;
- freedom of religion; freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected.
These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety."
Seriously, this rabid piece of leftist trash needs a muzzle. It’s long past time for her to sit down and shut up.
For you Nancy, President Trump was going for A Kick In The Pants
How can this fool possibly know this? She can’t read...and when something is read to her, she can’t comprehend. Such is the woe of being a LIB lunatic.
zero funding proposed for PBS.
PBS will need more of those fundraisers or maybe they’ll just have Ads
Merely a slap in the face? Clearly, Trump needs to cut DEEPER!
And yet somehow this pea brain socked away millions and millions being a humble servant of the people..?
She’s needed one of those for a long time. Either slap her sillier or slap some sense into her. I think the first is the only possibility.
