Nancy Pelosi Reportedly Told Donald Trump ‘All Roads With You Lead To Putin,’ Setting Off A ‘Meltdown’
Pelosi walked out of a meeting at the White House Wednesday after the president reportedly blew up at her for accusing him of serving the interests of Vladimir Putin.
A photo showing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on her feet admonishing an angry Donald Trump went viral on Wednesday after the lawmaker and other top congressional Democrats walked out of a meeting at the White House where the president experienced what Pelosi later described as a “serious meltdown,” according to a Roll Call report. Pelosi also asked Americans to pray for Trump’s health after what Democrats in attendance described as the president’s “nasty diatribe” toward the speaker during the meeting.
The meeting was called to discuss Trump’s policy in Syria, where Turkey is currently waging an all-out assault on the Kurdish population who had settled near the Turkish border in the northeast region of the country. But the meeting quickly disintegrated into a harangue by Trump directed at Pelosi, after the speaker scolded the president for his policies, which appear to benefit Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to an Associated Press report.
“All roads with you lead to Putin,” Pelosi told Trump, triggering his “meltdown.”
Trump reportedly responded by telling Pelosi and the other Democrats that he hated ISIS “more than you do.” He also asserted, without evidence, that ISIS — a militant Islamic extremist group — contained “communists,” attempting to taunt the Democrats by telling them, “you guys might like that.”

(HISTORIC PHOTOGRAPH) I agree with those saying this photograph will go down in history. Nancy Pelosi was reportedly chastising @realDonaldTrump, in the moment captured below, by saying the following to him:
"All roads with you lead to Putin."
Trump earlier on Wednesday shrugged off the Turkish attack on the Kurds, which has, so far, resulted in hundreds of Kurdish deaths and about 130,000 Kurdish people forced to flee their homes, as The Inquisitrreported. The president said that the Kurds were “not angels” and that though they fought against ISIS, “we paid a lot of money” to them.
Pelosi later explained her “concerns” over what she described as Trump’s Putin-friendly policies, according to an AlterNet report.
“Russia has, for a long time, wanted to have a foothold in the Middle East,” Pelosi said, adding that Trump’s Syria policy has “enabled” Russia to achieve its objective in Syria.
“Whether it’s placing in doubt any military assistance to Ukraine, which is to the benefit of Putin, whether it’s placing in doubt our commitment to NATO, Article V, which again, all roads lead to Putin,” she continued.
In his “diatribe,” Trump insulted Pelosi as a “third rate politician,” though she later said that he misspoke and called her a “third grade politician.” In turn, Pelosi reportedly told Trump that she wishes he “were a politician.
”Maryland Representative Steny Hoyer, the second-ranking Democrat in the House who was also in attendance, ended the confrontation.
“This is not useful,” he said, at which time Hoyer and Pelosi exited the meeting.
Trump continued to taunt them, saying, “See you at the polls!” according to the Associated Press report.
Trump's crazy 'go it alone' plan that he hatched with Turkey's President Erdogan might result in consequences that Trump didn't count on...more later (dinner time).

Trump didn't hatch anything ... he got out maneuvered. As for unforeseen consequence... yeah, genocide and Russia moving in and having influence where once the USA did. Oh and our allies around the world learned to trust the USA even less.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
good lord the right is desperate. First off, hillary clinton needs to go away. but the fact is that Gabbard isnt close to being anywhere near the middle, nevermind the top, so the right highlighting a clinton-gabbard beef is a big ass *yawn* to the majority of us who lean left.
but even more hilarious, is that now the right wing media has no choice but to blow their wad on the non-story of hunter biden and VP Biden, despite the fact that he was already starting to lose grip on his front runner status even before The trump syndicate got caught red handed trying to dig dirt on biden.
so instead of being able to use this conspiracy during the general election, they gotta run with the story months before the primaries even start
congrats, conservatives. your president tried to get political dirt on Biden THINKING he would be on the general ticket, but instead, he got caught red handed, confirmed to the country that TRUMP is indeed the deep state, and now not only do yall not even know if Trump will be on the ticket, but he wont even be going up against the guy they committed crimes trying to implicate in a conspiracy.
this really is stupid watergate.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

All the Libs seem to have forgotten the conclusion of the two-and-a-half-year Robert Mueller investigation failed to yield any proof of Russian collusion or substantiate theories from the Steele dossier about Trump's ties to Russia.
And Mueller plainly stated he couldn't get to the truth because the witnesses were lying. In case you missed it, which you act like you did, several of those witnesses were actually found guilty of lying.

NONE!
But please do carry on with your foolishness.
I disagree. There was evidence of collaboration all over the place.
However, the Ukraine saga has direct involvement by Trump, and a far easier narrative to tell.
We will see if the Democrats screw it up.
Welcome back, Joe, we missed you!…. That did not age well.

Tell that to the people in jail, still going to court or facing charges, and the sealed indictment waiting for Trump to leave office. There's your nothing burger

Manafort will probably die in jail and Michael Cohen is probably squealing like a pig right now.

I was right when I spoke about the Mueller investigation over a year and a half ago. I said it was a sham, there'd be no evidence and no collusion. Y'all didn't listen back then and we ALL know how that turned out. A whole bunch of time and money wasted for a fake hoax. Now we are starting a criminal investigation into the parties that started it based on no solid evidence. Any provided was tainted by a bought and paid for dossier by the Hillary Clinton and an artificial FISA warrant. If found guilty I think those people should either be hanged for treason or put in prison for life.
Now you all start a fake investigation into a phone call you already have a transcript for. Its a HUGE waste of time that will go nowhere. Any democrat who thinks otherwise is a fool. Deep down they know this is just a game. If it wasn't you'd hold the vote today. Do it now, hold the vote, do it. Everyone is ready. If the impeachment somehow gets to the Senate it will die immediately so what's the point? If anything it will turn out even MORE voters for Trump just like what happened with Bill Clinton. The economy is at an all time high and unemployment is at an all time low. Yeah, let's vote that out of office, its not going to happen, just face it.
The problem with the Democrats is that they never learn. They didn't learn in 2016 why they lost the election and they won't learn in 2020. They just don't get it that socialism doesn't sell to the people of the United States. They hate Trump but that is NOT a platform to run on. As it stands today the Dems have no plans and offer nothing to the American people except that they don't like Trump.
Democrats = Hate Trump
Democrats = Have no platform and no viable candidates
Democrats = Free healthcare, free college, cost TRILLIONS of dollars per year that is not possible to pay for. You don't have a plan when you can't realistically pay for your programs. Also just taxing the rich is a fairly tale that won't fly. Trillions of dollars a year means taxing the middle class as well.
So? Republicans love and vote for a deplorable, racist, pos. A known and proven pathological liar. And who has Kurdish blood on his hands. Even Jesus can’t save him now.

Yet still every democratic candidate is more viable then trump because they are all functioning adults.

It seems you prefer paying that money to health insurance companies and in deductibles. Either way you pay for it. But the math dictates taking the profit out of healthcare, negotiating cheaper drug prices and procedure costs will reduce the overall price.
So you're not actually complaining about paying for it, you're just putting a label on how you're paying for it and complaining about that. In case you missed it, you're paying for it now.
And as far as the Mueller report, there were 33 convictions that came from it. People are in jail because of it. To you that's nothing. Those people serving time would disagree.

I would love to know who Robert from Bahrain is. Must be important to Rudy, seeing as he’s begging for money.
How much money has he made in his life?
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort pushed the idea that Ukraine, not Russia, was behind the hack of the Democratic National Committee's servers, Manafort's deputy told investigators during the special counsel's Russia probe. The unsubstantiated theory, advanced by President Donald Trump even after he took office, would later help trigger the impeachment inquiry now consuming the White House.
Notes from an FBI interview were released Saturday after a lawsuit by BuzzFeed News that led to public access to hundreds of pages of documents from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. The documents included summaries of interviews with other figures from the Mueller probe, including Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.
Information related to Ukraine took on renewed interest after calls for impeachment based on efforts by the president and his administration to pressure Ukraine to investigate Democrat Joe Biden. Trump, when speaking with Ukraine's new president in July, asked about the server in the same phone call in which he pushed for an investigation into Biden.
Manafort speculated about Ukraine's responsibility as the campaign sought to capitalize on DNC email disclosures and as associates discussed how they could get hold of the material themselves, deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates told investigators, according to a summary of his interview with investigators.
Gates said Manafort's assertion that Ukraine might have done it echoed the position of Konstantin Kilimnik, a Manafort business associate who had also speculated that the hack could have been carried out by Russian operatives in Ukraine. U.S. authorities have assessed that Kilimnik, who was also charged in Mueller's investigation, has ties to Russian intelligence.
Gates also said the campaign believed that Michael Flynn, who later became Trump's first national security adviser, would be in the best position to obtain Hillary Clinton's missing emails because of his Russia connections. Flynn said he could use his intelligence sources to obtain the emails and was "adamant that Russians did not carry out the hack" because he believed that the U.S. intelligence community couldn't have figured out the source, according to the agent's notes.
Mueller's investigation concluded in March with a report that found insufficient evidence to establish a criminal conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign to sway the 2016 presidential election. The report also examined multiple episodes in which Trump sought to seize control of the Russia probe but did not conclude one way or the other about whether the president had illegally obstructed justice. Attorney General William Barr ultimately concluded that the president had not committed a crime.
Gates worked with Manafort in a lucrative international political consulting business that included Ukraine and later testified against him. Gates pleaded guilty last year in Mueller's investigation and has been one of the government's key cooperators. He has yet to be sentenced as he continues working with investigators.
Manafort was sentenced to more than seven years in prison, in part for financial crimes arising from his Ukraine work.
During his interviews with investigators, Gates also told the FBI that Donald Trump Jr. would ask where the hacked emails were during family meetings in the summer of 2016. Gates recalled that other key campaign aides, including future Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and Flynn, also "expressed interest in obtaining the emails as well," according to an agent's written summary of one interview. The identity of one of the people who expressed interest in the emails is blanked out.
One time on the campaign aircraft, Gates told the FBI, candidate Trump said "get the emails" and at times appeared frustrated that more leaks were not forthcoming. Gates also told the FBI that Trump at one point told him that more leaks were coming but did not indicate how Trump knew that.
Gates also described conversations with the chairman of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, who later entered the White House as the first chief of staff. He described the RNC as energized by the emails and said that though Trump and Kushner were initially skeptical about cooperating with the RNC, "the WikiLeaks issue was a turning point," the FBI notes show. The campaign was also very pleased by the releases, though Trump was advised not to react to it but rather to let it all play out.
The RNC would put out press releases to amplify the emails' release, Gates told the FBI. "The RNC also indicated they knew the timing of the upcoming releases," though Gates didn't specify who at the RNC had that information. "Gates said the only non-public information the RNC had was related to the timing of the releases."
Manafort, meanwhile, was trying to advise the Trump campaign even after severing ties with the campaign, causing alarm among some of the candidate's most senior advisers.
Manafort emailed Kushner, on Nov. 5, 2016, just days before the election, saying he was feeling good about the prospect of a Trump presidency. In the email, Manafort said he was "focusing on preserving the victory" and that he had sent a memo to Priebus and had briefed Gates and Fox News host Sean Hannity, a close Trump ally.
Kushner sent Manafort's email to Trump adviser Steve Bannon, who replied: "we need to avoid this guy like the plague."
"They are going to try and say the Russians worked with wiki leaks to give this victory to us," Bannon wrote to Kushner and David Bossie, another Trump associate, in his reply. "Paul is nice guy but can't let word get out he is advising us."
