    Pelosi calls Trump, GOP lawmakers 'domestic enemies,' 'enemies of the state' over mail-in voting opposition

    The top Democrat told MSNBC Russia isn't the only one 'trying to interfere in our election'

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., escalated her attacks toward President Trump and GOP lawmakers Monday, describing them as "domestic enemies" over their opposition to universal mail-in voting.

    During an interview on "MSNBC Live" with anchor Ayman Mohyeldin, Pelosi slammed Trump's repeated rhetoric opposing mail-in voting and accused him of "scaring" potential voters and welcoming Russian interference in the upcoming election.

    "The Russians were there and they are there now 24/7 trying to interfere in our election, but they're not the only ones," Pelosi said. "We take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. And sadly, the domestic enemies to our voting system and our honoring of the Constitution are right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with their allies in the Congress of the United States."

    When President Trump declared the Media "Enemies of the people", the liberals were outraged. The media claimed such a statement put their lives in danger. The fact is that no reporters have been attacked because of this statement. But where is the liberal outrage over Speaker of the House Pelosi's statement? I know liberal outrage is selective applied. Yet the liberal propaganda media has pretty much ignored Pelosi's statement.
    https://www.foxnews.com/media/mainstream-media-avoids-pelosi-enemies-of-the-state-trump

    Pelosi states that the oath of office that they took calls for them to "support and defend the US Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic". The oath does require their support and defense, but Pelosi and the Democrats ignore their oath of office when it impedes their political agenda. Article Two section three of the Constitution requires the President to "take care that laws be faithfully executed". That means that the President clearly has a requirement to enforce Federal election laws. But Presidents Obama twice ignored that responsibility and the DNC have attacked GOP Presidents for following the Constitutional requirement. These were Obama Administration dropping their defense of the Defense of Marriage Act and when he passed a new law by Executive Order to justify his refusal to enforce immigration laws. DACA clearly violated the Constitutional requirement for separation of powers. The Congress have opposed the President Building the wall to enforce immigration laws, the DNC backs Sanctuary cities/states in violation of immigration laws, they have spoke out against he President deploying federal agents to protect federal building and landmarks from terrorist protestors violating federal laws. Now Pelosi is attacking the President for his defense and enforcement of US Election Laws.

    So, it is Pelosi herself that is violating her oath of office with her statement. It is time for Pelosi to be called out and impeached or censured for her statement.

    Pelosi is genuinely a terrorist, stirring up violence towards those who politically disagree with her.

    Well, I wouldn't go enemies of the state here, but any effort to fight mass mail-in voting during a pandemic certainly can be seen as such.

    Remember the motto that Trump actually said out loud, after it being quietly recognized for decades.

    "They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again,”

    Fear the voice of the people, but it's up to the people to make their voices heard.

    I will say, Pelosi's mortician has done a wonderful job with her hair.

    Ahh, so much projection from Pelosi, who is the real domestic enemy and one of the most vocal and televised enemies of the state.

    But hey, at least the Democrats aren't the divisive ones, or so they claim :roflol:

    In general terns, Pelosi's statements are spot-on.

    As far as "impeached", you can't impeach a House Member.

    Also, censure is completely out of the question in a House controlled by Dems.

    I'm just guessing, since there are no actual facts in your world anymore, but I'm pretty sure Stalin died in 1953...

    He was one of the 10's of thousands of victims of the Bowling Green Massacre...

    Total uneducated male bovine excrement. Again, the liberals were outraged when President Trump stated that the media were "enemies of the people", Yet where is their outrage at Pelosi claiming the President and the GOP lawmakers are "enemies of the state." This is specifically claiming that the President and the GOP lawmakers are guilty of treason. This is based on a liberal false narrative. Article 2 section 3 of the US Constitution requires the President of the United States to ensure that federal laws are faithfully executed. Mail-in votes are covered under the Absentee Voting Act. That is a federal law that the President is Constitutionally required to ensure is faithfully executed. Therefore, the President is doing his duty as specified by the US Constitution. It is funny how the DNC only cares about the US Constitution when it suites them, and Pelosi is violating her oath of office while stating otherwise.

    Any member of the Congress (to include the Senate) can be impeached. From Find Law: "While the term "impeachment" typically is associated with the Commander in Chief, the Constitution clearly states who can be impeached: "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States." Since Pelosi is a "civil officer" She can be impeached. You should really research before you post.

    Yes, I know that the DNC sadly does not hold their members to the same standards that they attempt to hold everyone else to.

    Research? Lolwut?:roflol:

    You are 100% WRONG about Impeachment.

    Google is your friend.

    The Senate has concluded that members of Congress (Representatives and Senators) are not "civil officers" for purposes of impeachment.

    That has been the policy since the late 1700s

    And that is because:

    As a practical matter, expulsion is effected by the simpler procedures of Article I, Section 5, which provides "Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members ... Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behavior, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member."

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_States

    How do people come up with these things?

    Everybody KNOWS that you can't impeach a House Member.

    Just wow.:smh:

    Of course, back to Pelosi, she can always be voted out by her constituents.

    Outside of that remedy, her opponents seem to have reached a dead end.

    Glad to be of help in clearing up that misunderstanding about the Impeachment process.

    Consider your audience..

    Of course Nancy cannot be impeached.. besides your research, do you know how we know that?

    Steve King is still there...that one might have been unanimous if possible.

    Like most others, your post ignores the facts in favor of liberal talking points. As I have pointed out numerous times, the President has a Constitutionally mandated duty to ensure that federal laws are faithfully enforced. That includes the Absentee Act.

    I stand corrected about Pelosi being a civil officer. She is actually a house officer. But I draw your attention to Senator William Blount of Tennessee. He was impeached in 1797. I know that Pelosi would not be impeached because it would that a majority of the house to pass articles of impeachment. As I pointed out, the DNC does not hold their member to the same standards as everyone else.

    Now, please produce a source for you claim that President proclaimed:

    "They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again,”

    Without a source, you are talking out of your postier end.

    Do you need sources for 9/11 or Pearl Harbor as well (I'm kidding now, but I assume they'll have to be produced one day). This was a big story in the day AND it was uttered on Fox... shocked this didn't make it to your radar... Hard to find one NOT behind a paywall these days, but I did..

    Good. Nice to see the gloves are finally off and she is finally willing to point out the obvious. Trump is a narcissistic demagogue who's been enabled by Sentate Reps unwillingness to hold him to account which has emboldened him and Barr to do whatever they want.

    I would not call that a "big story in the day". Most of the stories about President Trump's statement are from extremist liberal sites like the source you provided.

    I do not agree with the President on this. Most of the people being suppressed and disenfranchised by the DNC are liberals. These are people that do not know that they have to request a absentee ballot. In Virginia, first time voters can not vote by absentee ballots. Some do not have access to the internet in order to request the absentee ballot. Those that are illiterate, and those with new disabilities that alter their signatures from from when they registered. The fact that the DNC massage that in-person voting is unsafe, and failing to notify the public that they request a ballot online, is actually suppressing votes. This would impact the DNC far more the the GOP.
