House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke with the nation's top military officer on Friday about precautions in place to prevent President Donald Trump from ordering a nuclear strike or conducting other military hostilities as Democrats seek his removal from office.
The stunning revelation came in a letter from the speaker to House Democrats outlining next steps following a violent breach of the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday by Trump supporters. Pelosi said she spoke to Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley about guardrails in place that could prevent "an unstable president" from wielding the military or the country's nuclear arsenal.

She rattles on with crazy stuff like this, yet we're to believe that Donald Trump is unstable. The TV says he is, so who are we to question anything.

She's running scared. Somethings up and she and her un-holy alliance cohorts are trying to cover their tracks before the shoe falls. This entire situation since the election makes no sense.

Funny where the Dem mind goes. They are nutcases...all of them. I don't believe for a second that the thought of "nuking" anyone ever crossed Trumps mind.
Nancy is way beyond her sell by date.

If you knew me, you'd know I am NOT a violent person. But, I'd really like to punch this hag in the face. She knows there's absolutely no danger he will do this, but she has to keep her moonbat base stirred to. Moron.

Everyone recognizes that some elderly people still have great reason and knowledge. Others, like Ms. Pelosi, are way past their prime. Or perhaps more likely with her, long since certifiable.

This is a story to advance the theory that Trump is unstable. The reality is that the military will never launch nukes just because the president orders it. Contrary to liberal fevered dreams, active duty personnel are not brain dead drones just following orders.

It’s Nancy Pelosi who is off the beam as what she in doing is dangerous to the national security of the USA by trying to diminish the constitutional authority of the elected Commander in Chief. Enemy nuclear tipped missiles in bound to hit the USA only give the President about 20 minutes to act. Obviously there would not be enough time for Pelosi to hold a Congressional hearing and a vote to determine if the President should retaliate or not.
Pelosi just said that if Trump dos not immediately resign that the Democrats will impeach him next week when he will only have about a week left on his term in office. You have to wonder when failing to resign at the instruction of the opposing political party’s Speaker of the House became an impeachable offense? Obviously Pelosi and the Democrats want to impeach Trump and remove him from office solely to keep him from again running for President in 2024, that’s impeaching the President based upon him doing or not doing something years from now on into the future. When did that become an impeachable offense? In any case impeachment at this point is out of order and not necessary as Trump has said that he intends to leave office in an orderly process on January 20th and the President has not been found to have committed a legitimate impeachable offense after any sort of comprehensive and legitimate investigation.
Pelosi is making herself look like a nut job and should instead by doing something constructive like working on more COVID relief for the American people.

"I'm so old" I can remember that we in the Army had a chain of command board (ostensibly to inform everybody that if somebody whose picture was on the board shows up to sound the alarm! I don't recall ever seeing a photo of a Speaker of the House. Generals, SecDef, but no Speaker. But I'm old and maybe I just don't remember. But I'm pretty sure the Speaker was not in my chain of command.

What is wrong with her? President Trump wouldn't do that. Why is she fear mongering. I'm really afraid for President Trump right now. What is he going to uncover so that they're so afraid of him?

Hold on, PDJT, hold on. They are taunting him to make him do something to neutralize himself the next four years. It is all a sign of how much they fear him. Hold on, don't take the bait, hold on.... These signs of fear are signs of the power PDJT is going to have, and how terrified of it the Democrats are. Hold on....

Someone should demand she see a doctor who can assess if she has LOST IT! She is the one who should be strapped to a Chair and watched 24/7. That woman is a Nut Case! She is just determined to make Trump look like he is Nuts so that they can keep him from ever running for President again! THAT' is her game. She is running out of time and she knows it

Is there a procedure whereby we can remove a Speaker who has lost her reason? She has only remained in office so long because she hails form Demofornia, the prime example of what one-party leftist rule leads to.

And she’s not thrown out of office for that?

The greatest threat to us all are the dirty rats in the DirtyRat party...with no help from the chickens in that other party...

DDuring Nixon's final days as President, I believe it was Alexander Haig who inserted himself into the chain of command decision making as a buffer.

The odious creature knows which documents PDT has in his hands that could ruin every demonrat and a few pubs in congress, not to mention 0bama and his cronies at the FBI, CIA et al. She wants him out before he can declassify and release them.
President Trump, release them all. Unpredicted. Now!

Her being in the direct line of succession or Continuity of the Presidency and having been so for a few years and not being aware of the constraints at each level is further proof of her ignorance.
She should be removed from position of authority ASAP
Maybe placed in charge of bathroom cleanliness is more suited to her talents as she definitely likes to associate with T*RD$
