Wish this old Battle Axe would retire , she don’t give a shit about American service members . She consistently votes against anything vto with military funding or veterans care. All she wants to do is grab power to fill her pockets with gold

The hated the man before, two faced old hag.

Pelosi needs to go sit down somewhere .. 🤮

Give it a rest Nancy.

You'd rather be a war-monger.

This is total White House 'shakeup' in every sense of the word. It's shakeup, shakedown!

Just some more empty words for empty heads.

Another one bites the dust. PS who voted for this guy? Please stand on the other side of the wall.

I rarely agree with her, but very true words

Oh, the drama...smh. Thank you General Mattis for your service. Time for someone else to take over that role. No big deal.

And when Obama fired him...that made no never mind to you then. Girl, bye.

Telling us to pray...thought you were against religion in government!!!?

Chicken little

The best thing for our country would be the resignations of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

What a farce statement coming from Pelosi.

She’s a phony. He was with the President for 2 years. Let the man retire.

Shut up Pelosi

The message sent to the troops is the person we believed would stand up for us tucked his tail and ran. We are left out in the fields wondering how we are no going to get screwed.

This woman is a female knock-off of George Soros!! She probably opposed the appointment of Gen. Mattis!! I am sure the feeling is not mutual!!! She opposes the military at every chance!!!

NancyPelosi should I take a deep dive into your comments expressing distress at Obama’s 3+ Sec of Defense all leaving at 2 years or less? Were your panties in a twist back then? Doubt it, you incredible hypocrite

Take s chill pill he will appoint a younger n more with the times. Like u old n we should have TERM LIMITS COZ NOTHING GETS DONE. NEED IN FUSION OF YOUNGER MORE NUETRAL. U R TO MUCH BLACK N WHITE. WE NEED GRAY. HOW DO U START WITH NO MONEY N NOW BEING IN OFFICE HAVE MILLIONS 🤮🤔

She's not capable.

Mrs.Pelosi, take down the wall around your house. Period Then we’ll listen.

We respect what Mattis says about our President.. trumpis a big risk to America

Because that's the story the Dem's have been weaving for the last 2+ years. It was a lot of hard work on their part for sure

Can’t stand Pelosi or Schumer and losing Mattis is a huge blow and barometer for how bad things are in that administration. Sad state of affairs when someone named Mad Dog is the sanest person in the WH.

His opinion apparently cares more than the nations opinion. In case you didnt know, our opinion of our own government is that its a circus! You sit on your side and act like your better but your all worthless! We need a new Government!

I am good with civilian control of the DOD he should have never had the job

She is too old to arrange the leadership of USA!!!!! Go beck home!!!!!

There are other commanders

And yet Trump is still President, hail to the chief

A month ago they were calling him a Nazi for sending troops to the border. So which is it.

Your just shaken cause your very old and shouldn’t hold the position u r

It’s disgusting that the President doesn’t act like a Loony Democrat, she feels disoriented

Your shaken? That's just old age Nance. Tremors.

Why she dressed like it’s st patties day?

She should be shaken about how bad she read the house on the border funding vote and her numerous virtue signaling appearances and one even in the Oval Office. She’s clueless and yet Dems want that to lead?

Everyone downplaying the significance of Mattis leaving has been brainwashed by an orange simpleton. You are not Patriots if this doesn't concern you. We are vulnerable in so many ways right now. Wake up!

Everything shakes Nancy

Didn't Obama go through 4 Sec's of Def? Gen. Mattis is a national treasure of service.

Pelosi isn’t it time for you to go back to your nursing home? So annoying.

Blah, blah, blah, blah; ad infinitum.

The US Trops Welcome at home With theirs Family at Christmas A mission Results very important the National Interest Congratulation POTUS Thanks so much PressSec washingtonpost USATODAY AmbJohnBolton foxnewspolitics .VP

Shaken enough to tinkle?

Boy she looks like a skeleton

Holy shit- that’s the speaker? She can’t even form a sentence

Take your pills old lady ..

Fakeooooooo

I can't believe I am saying this, but Speaker Pelosi is right. It gives our national defense a black eye.

If she’s shaken over one replacement of Secretary of Defense, she must have been positively paralyzed when Obama had 4! The drama & histrionics are becoming entertaining they are so over the top!

Fear mongering

The fool that’s running this country is the one that’s ruining us

I’m not. We don’t belong in Syria or Afghanistan. It’s about time someone ended it.

Somebody’s lookin all disheveled 👀

You shake because you are so old and need to retire!

This is why I love POTUS realDonaldTrump there is no star male or star female on his team. People come and people go. The best will come and the best will go but life has to go on for the greater good of all. Whoever wants to leave let them leave. Others will replace them.

Making drama where there is none. 😂

She looks like an alcoholic elf

NancyPelosi he is retiring because he is really old. Maybe you and your colleagues should follow? Time for forward thinkers

I’m shaken by the fact that Pelosi is soon to be Leader of the House and that anyone thinks she’s capable of overseeing anything more than a lunch monitor in a middle school. But life’s not fair.

Clearly Nancy’s head bobbing & hand waving is indicative at how shaken she is.

Swamp monster on full display

Fake hysteria. If our country depends on one Sec of Def I am shaken!

Need...more...botox...

Nancy Pelosi was shaken because she knows that the wall WILL get funded & this may cause her to lose her bid for majority leader. The vote at the Senate should take place at 10:00 pm EST so that DEMS who vote NO will have to miss Christmas at home too! FundTheWall or ShutItDown

I saw this live. Why did you speed up the video ?

I’m THANKFUL for the message it sends the troops. Perhaps they will understand that their Commander-In-Chief is a lunatic whose wacko orders should not be blindly followed. Somebody needs to stand up to this idiot. Maybe if a LOT of somebodies do, we’ll get out of this alive.

OMGoodness I feel sorry for your viewers, they have to watch this crazy woman every day for two more years. Never watch ABC.

His resignation was planned months ago. He stopped taking appointments on the 15th! Stop spreading hate!

Am sure the troops are happy to come back home. Nobody wants to die especially for a cause they don't understand

NancyPelosi queen of the swamp creatures

Politics is everything for this people.

Lol. Yawn. Nothing shocks me when her and Schumer talk. Walking hypocrites. It’s so funny. What’s really funny is America is slowly tuning u out along with the media.

Bull!

SO NOW DO US A HUGE FAVOR AND YOU LEAVE WITH ALL YOUR LIES AND WHINY.

This woman looks like walking death.

Relax skeletor 💀 and try bringing both sides together like butt cheeks. 🤣

NancyPelosi we can see the fear in your eyes. We are in total control. The end is near for the deep state. Take pedophile chuckschumer will you. Gitmo is waiting. q qanon Pedogate PedoWood DrainTheSwamp Gitmobound ChildTraffickers HumanTrafficking

However... You are fear mongering

I can see she is certainly shaken

He got out while the ship was still afloat

Bah bah bah!

Don’t be stupid Nancy. Just because Matis does not have what it takes doesn’t mean he understands the Presidents direction.

Liar

Time fir some Prozac politician! It will help you!

On to a new attack narrative huh. You know something to divert that Trump did have the votes for the wall. Suck it up Witch.

She s criticizing once again

Mattie’s resignation means Pelosi is the oldest grizzled dog in DC

CLarsenNY Be advised, troll bots are swarming all over thread. Active measures , y’all . Speaker Pelosi must be their triggering event, lol.

...selfishless Service to the Nation.

It’s sad to see Rep. Pelosi decided to stay till the last stage of what ever she’s got

realDonaldTrump is doing exactly what he said he would do, Drain the swamp. U guys hate him for that because now he holds u accountable. You guys have had years to work in border security and have lied and cheated never doing nothing. It’s time you all have term limits.

Pelosi should have faith in the military that there’s a great person up and coming commander that can step in after Mattis leaves in February. I’m sure there are many that are qualified.

Let him resign and then nominate him again... good ol’ Nancy will be calling him a baby killer.

Hit it again Nancy.

We are shaken that you are the Democratic Leader WTF YOU nutcase !! You work for the American people not illegals !!!

What shakes her more...the resignation or the fact that Trump got the votes she said he didn’t have in the house. SchumerShutdown

I'm shaken every time she speaks. You guys rail on Trump for being wacky, he earns it. She matches him every step of the way and you give her a pass every time. She did get most of the words right this time.

Now they like Mattis

The fact that Gen. Mattis causally called trump incompetent speaks volumes!

'Indication of what his views ((is))' Nancy Pelosi has the ability to be a full-fledged defeat at all levels. It's safe to say that she imitates characteristics of failure so impeccably she can become a unit of measurement for defeat and humiliation.

Rep.N.Polosi is the best story teller America has got.

Wacko

Trump is weak and the massacre of our allies, the Kurds, should it happen should be viewed as treason. If we call the leaders of autocratic countries madmen we can add our (ugh) leader to that. Thanks GOP for supporting a madman over our allies

Just finished reading Fear by Bob Woodward and well, this doesn't surprised me. What Trump did was the last straw. When he thinks he is smarter than all the General's. A man who never served at all, knows more. What an ignorant person and yep. Daddy bought his education.

Obama bombed a hospital and she was silent

We are all shaken! Donald Trump was and remains UNFIT TO BE PRESIDENT! He is a danger to our country and its citizens! He MUST resign!!!

Like she cares. Just a stuck to beat Trump with.

It will all come crashing down on the Donald sometime

Where was her concern when Obama blew throw 4 Sec if Def in 8yrs?

This is exactly how the nazis worked. They were so terrible eventually all the “good” people wouldn’t work for them. All that was left was the worst most unqualified people who were willing to commit the most heinous crimes of the 20th century.

Isn‘t this the same woman who was sure those generals were part of a military coup when selected? 🤔

Good luck America, can’t believe you keep following this guy further and further into darkness. He was the guy from the “Apprentice “,that we all use to laugh at and yet you are letting him systematically destroy you. Unbelievable! Sad

Our troops should know they are greatly respected for their sacrifice as some are leaving countries in harms way, or feel appalled at what SATAN TRUMP is doing, tearing apart DEMOCRACY, in line with leaders that have one thing in common GLOBAL DOMINATION! Americans with allies!

Bla bla bla blasfemia!!!!

Go to bed!

🤦‍♀️why is she going to be speaker ?!!!

Nancy Pelosi is going to be a phenomenal speaker of the House! Of course, it’s only natural for anyone to be shaken by the resignation of General Mattis. Some people may be a bit shocked, but reasons are in the letter! Don’t walk in fear, and realize Mattis had reasons!

NancyPelosi Trump said he would get a bill through the house. I guess he did.

When Gen. Mattis was nominated, Nancy thought that was a bad choice and now this...

So, Mattis is the only SECDEF that was good? How many different SECDEFs have the last 3 POTUS had? It’s a normal thing that happens in every administration.

American People who work so hard are not paying 5 Billion dollars for Trump’s wall it’s not happening. While he decided to cut food stamps for children and he wants 5 Billion dollars on sometimes back breaking work. No way if any Democrats vote yes we need to vote them out.

When appointed she embraced mattis as a check on Trump. We need to hear from him in open setting.

So is the country, Nancy. Steps must be taken to harness our LooseCanonainChief. This is dangerous for our country!

Well said Rep. Pelosi!

Troops may feel insecured.

Americans who don't like Trump need to understand that good people are still needed to serve in his administration for the sole purpose of damage control. Celebrating and encouraging these resignations will only lead to terrible replacements with terrible consequences.

Nasty women and millennials are always shaking about something they heard. It's what they do. nastywoman

Well hope changes to the constitution and the powers of the President be amended and do not give one man so much power. That is just like giving power as a Dictator . Examine what democracy is and how it suppose to be Administered

PELOSI SHAKEN

First tell your staff to help people of California, Pelosi. You are not doing a good job.

Nancy loves war

The chaos of our world is the playing out of diversity in the world. Beyond that is unity, not unity of alliances between waves, but the innate unity of the ocean standing alone in its self existence.
