Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday that members of congress from her party will seek to obtain [Donald] Trump's tax returns when they take control of the U.S. House of Representatives in January — a move the White House is likely to strongly resist.I don't care how unlikely it is that we will ever get to see those tax returns; I want the Democrats to keep trying and trying and trying until they either get them or cause Trump to explode with frustration into a cloud of poop emojis.
The House Ways and Means Committee will "take the first steps" toward obtaining the documents, said Pelosi, who has the backing of her members to become speaker of the House next month. As it is likely to be a challenging process, it will be up to the committee to figure out how to proceed, she said.
"There is popular demand for the Congress to request the president's tax returns," she told reporters in the Capitol. "I'm sure the White House will resist and so the question is where do we go from there."
You know those videos of people who picked up some horrendo parasite and now you can see the worms crawling under their skin? That's what I want Nancy Pelosi's entire vision board to look like for the next two years.
Get under his skin and stay there, wriggling.
I'm pretty sure we're on the same page.
Someday maybe misogynist men will learn that when you keep trying to grind indomitable women into dust, what happens is that you eventually shape us into the hardest of diamonds, impervious to the trifling chauvinist horseshit that remains the best tool in your box of mediocrity. pic.twitter.com/cLv5LnkXPh
