Après vous, M. Président.

I think it would be a good talking point taunt.
“President Trump urged all North Carolinians to vote twice. I say, ‘please do not vote twice until you see President Trump do it himself.‘ If he’s afraid to do it, then you shouldn’t either.”

No, I don’t think she is. Being effective would, for example, have resulted in articles of impeachment years earlier. Her tendency towards being openly disdainful of members of her own party helps to mark her as someone who has been in office far too long.

As for the mask issue, she shouldn’t ever enter a closed space without a mask on. She should also be aware of and following local COVID restrictions which would mean not being inside a salon at all.

Are you aware of local COVID restrictions that do not precluding being inside a salon? Trump is full of it when he says salons were not open at that time.

Trump's just jealous because when he gets his hair done he just pops it into the mail and gets it back the following week.

As I understand it, California in general allowed their reopening while San Francisco in specific did not and required them to work outdoors. I obtained this information from [non-Fox/other right-wing) sources today, so if I am incorrect then I plead repeating misinformation from what I consider reputable sources.

I’m going to Latrobe, Pennsylvania, the home of the late, great Arnold Palmer - There was nobody like him. I got to know Arnold well, played golf with him, and miss him. See you tonight in Latrobe!

Hearing that Iran is looking to execute a great and popular wrestling star, 27-year-old Navid Afkarai, whose sole act was an anti-government demonstration on the streets. They were protesting the “country’s worsening economic situation and inflation”...

...To the leaders of Iran, I would greatly appreciate if you would spare this young man’s life, and not execute him. Thank you! @UFC @DanaWhite @FoxNews

It came back again but with no changes! weird.

Us?

No wonder it was deleted. Not only is it sleazy to want someone who sets another person up to be Speaker of the House, turns out the evidence is pretty overwhelming Pelosi actually was set up.

Are you serious or are you just looking for posts to **** on today?

:confused:

:p

I'm tempted to look, maybe tomorrow.

I like it!

That's a bit excessive. No one was in there. The stylist was behind her.

I think that's just a ridiculously high bar.

We would have all loved to have seen Trump impeached. But you can see that Pelosi knew McConnell would see to it it was blocked in the Senate.

So again, your bar is absurdly high.

Disdainful of her own? You mean when she told the newbies (including OAC) that their idealism was misplaced and they needed to slow it down?

I thought Pelosi was right and I love OAC.

Big Brother says 2+2=5.

The whole thing was confusing.

Newsom said salons in SF County could open. The city mayor said no, then said they could see clients outside. The salons all complained and said it was impossible.

The mayor was very confusing and the rules became unclear.

In the meantime the salon Pelosi went to had been seeing clients illegally "for months".

And the mayor relented and said the salons could open a day (or so) after Pelosi had her hair done.

Trump, Fox News, Tucker Carlson and the whole right-wing blogosphere et al are indeed full of it.

No, it's not a high bar. I don't wait until I walk into a store to put my mask on. I don't even wait until I'm out of whatever vehicle I"m in when I arrive. :rolleyes: Again, it's not. Rightfully impeaching a president is entirely the prerogative of the House and it's not like McConnell was letting the House do much of anything else anyway. Maybe if the House had been a bit more active instead of mainly occupying themselves with sniping, the midterms would have seen a shift of control of the Senate. I don't buy that playing it safe bought them anything. I suspect that every move to the Democrat side was based solely on how objectionable Trump and McConnell have been. In short, there are no pro-Pelosi voters outside of her district.
Then both of you are wrong. It's past time for the corporate-owned centrist Democrats to be driven out of office. For example, we've had over 25 years of Democrats talking big about health care and the best we've done is to make insurers offer to let people pay for their health insurance. Whoop-de-*******-doo.

The Republicans go on and on using "progressive" as a pejorative but the simple truth is that the Democratic party is barely liberal and progressive is a pipe dream.

Yes, but...

I also perused dozens of articles this morning to sort this out.

SanFrancisco LocalCBS: Stylist Backs Up Pelosi’s Claim San Francisco Salon Visit Was A Set Up


My summary of what I found:

Turns out the stylist specifically asked the owner of the salon, Erica Kious, if it was OK. That's the owner who says she knew nothing about it.

Also turns out the salon has been seeing clients in violation of the shutdown for months.

Kious took the footage to Fox news because she wanted to use it to complain about the shutdown. No coincidence she went there and later to an interview with Tucker Carlson.

And Pelosi only had her mask off because her hair was shampooed. The footage we don't see showed Pelosi put the mask back on for the styling.

Also Republican Kious has a gofundme set up by another Republican, her friend, and the fund already has more than $40K in it.
EastBayTimes

I sifted through a lot of sources and found more corroborating information as well. Kious owns two more salons in the Bay area and one in Fresno so take her crocodile tears with a grain of salt.

James O'Keefe would be proud.

[insert a bunch of irrelevant information here]

It is a collection of memetic phrases picked out of HBO's Chernobyl where various figures (in some cases knowingly) repeat dubious information over and over to reassure others the situation is totally fine.

All contrary evidence is met with these intractable factoids.

I do find the series an entirely appropriate metaphor for the current situation. Truth is subordinate to political convenience, decisions are made by unqualified bureaucrats chosen for loyalty rather than competence, etc.

They didn't capitalize it, they didn't say "in the". In fact they said: "40% of us".

Don't blame me for asking them to clarify their bad grammar!

Next time don't be such a dick claiming I might be looking for posts to **** on.

Every part of that sentence is wrong including your point and who you think you're talking to.

1. It wasn't my post. Read for comprehension.
2. Are you sure he meant "US" or is it just barely possible that he considers both himself and Trump supporters to be US citizens and thus we are them, as in "us?" See above re: comprehension. Also see previous post regarding you going out of your way to find something to **** on.

She wasn't walking into a store. She was the only one there and had just finished getting the shampoo. It's like moving from the shampoo sink to the stylist chair. Maybe you are unfamiliar with salons.

Thanks. I loved that series but didn't remember the meme.

FYFFY (Fixed your French for you) :)

:boggled:

I was responding to the post. I shall change you to they.

You know why I don't wear a mask when I shampoo my hair? Because I'm at home. If I was in a salon - something with which I am familiar - and thus breathing right up into the air the person washing my hair is breathing, I'd wear a ******* mask. I'd do this because I've never gotten a wash in a salon that resulted in any water on my face (and, before you start, yeah I'm a dude and I've worn shoulder-length hair for years at a time). If I was concerned about the mask getting wet, I'd bring a spare to put on after the wash if necessary.

Seriously, I don't get why you want to defend this so hard. Even accepting that you're a Pelosi-stan, you should at least acknowledge that she should be wearing a mask when in extended close proximity to someone with whom she doesn't live.

ETA: Also, if my city was requiring salons to operate outdoors, I wouldn't walk into one at all.

Whoopteedo Babby. It was Pelosi, not you, and your expectations were ridiculous.

I think we're done here.

Fell free to rant on.

Please use my full name when you're so very proudly slinking away.

I just find it ridiculous that Trump, who says wearing a mask is "patriotic" but doesn't wear one the vast majority of the time so fails the 'lead by example' test, would go after Pelosi on this. It's obvious his real objective was to name call and bully Pelosi in his usual childish manner because that's how he gets his kicks. He's just a pig of a man.

No doubt. If hypocrisy was an Olympic sport, he'd have more medals than whatshisname the swimmer and theotherguy who was also a swimmer put together. Trump is completely without shame, like clinically.

C’mon, people.

Can we put N. Pelosi in another thread.

Seeing all these salon posts here just reminds me of how easy it is for the Republicans to get the Democrats chasing their tail again and again.

The only reason the Pelosi-salon story is a story is:

Covid-19 deaths = 190,000

Trumpanzees want the public to be distracted.

C'mon, people.

Trump tweets about it, the media makes it a big deal, people on a forum react. It is what it is. I'm sure you're above it all, but most of us are way down here talking about what's being talked about. Few of us, however, forget the more important things, but if we do you'll remind us by...telling us what not to talk about?

I don’t think that suggesting a new thread is the same as saying “don’t talk about it”. And I doubt that you think it is the same either. This quoted post is really hyperbole, don’t you think?

Sheesh. No kidding! I was about to ask SG if the salon story was only being talked about on Fox. I'm sure CNN MSNBC are all covering it too.

Chasing tails it is.

I’m bowing out.

This is a catch-all thread. If you want to discuss another aspect of the Trump Presidency, have at it. However the sniping about what aspects others are discussing is dumb. Very, very dumb. It's ineffective, rude, and arrogant.

Ok. Not sure why you quoted me but didn’t respond to what I said.

Pelosi’s hair cut is apparently vital to the political future of your country and needs to be discussed in the thread about Trump’s presidency. Please carry on.

Trump and his cult definitely want to be talking about Pelosi's haircut because it's much better for them if people are not talking about Trump's Economic Depression and 190,000 covid-19 deaths.

Joe Hiden’ gets off his airplane, grabs and shakes a rather stunned man’s hand (like in the old days), then touches his (Joe’s) face and mask with the same hand. No crowd, no enthusiasm for Joe today. Law & Order!

That god! He can be such a practical joker!

(re: Trump's deleted and reappearing Tweet)
I have seen that happen before. I think he does it when certain comments are on the top so they can be deleted with the original Tweet. It's gotta be a hassle to try to keep up with him anyway.

I figured you were going to have to explain this one since you used it a couple of times.

I would suggest those that prompt his tweets have achieved their goal, people are talking about it as if it is something serious.

Nancy Pelosi says she got “set up” by a Beauty Parlor owner. Maybe the Beauty Parlor owner should be running the House of Representatives instead of Crazy Nancy?

Military (active duty or veterans) may not want to read this
 

Trump thinks those who died or were wounded serving their country are losers.


Why any member of a military family would vote for this SOB is beyond me.
