This will be tonight’s partisan moment that people will be talking about for the next few days. After giving what might be one of President Trump’s best speeches, before the President has left the podium, Speaker Nancy Pelosi rips his speech up live on national television:
What do you think of it?
She wasn’t tearing up the President’s State of the Union Speech, but the dumbocrats election strategy…..they just lost the 2020 election. 4 more years! USA!
You stay classy, San Francisco.
She just cost them votes. Independents and central D’s are going to sit out or vote for Trump. At some point these lunatics should try something different, this shit ain’t working for ya. How about get your ass back to work and do something
I think Nancy Pelosi is a frustrated closet conservative.
She & Democrats are poor lost souls that won’t accept that we have the best President we’ve had since Reagan!,
They can’t accept they lost the White House & after her disrespectful actions while Trump was speaking & her tearing up his speech was the “nail in their coffin”!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Considering all this lie-o-rama did was give the current occupant of the Oval Office more free air time for his campaign, it was a fine response. If not for about 80,000 votes in 3 or so counties, thanks to Russia’s cyber soldiers, we wouldn’t have to put up with this guy’s grandstanding. Watching him walk into the chamber and then deliver another of his teleprompter speeches like a crabby 5th grader reading a report his sister wrote, then his dejected body language, it’s easy to see he knows he’s got to live with that asterisk of impeachment for the rest of his term. God forbid there should be another one.
And in your narrow world of condescension and hate just what have the democrats done for you? Other than talk and create class warfare.
Your entire comment is the literal embodiment of indoctrination. You aren’t a real human.
I see Ann has the current liberal talking points down:
Impeached for life
70,000 votes
Just a few counties
Treason
Bribery
Golfing
You left out:
lying about protecting health coverage for people with pre-existing conditions;
lied about who’s paying for his wall;
owes #3 a big thank you for USMCA;
owes #3 and the Democrats for justice reform; and
has no plans for infrastructure.

Ann,
This is why I say Democrats are not very intelligent.
The House passed a plan that included pre-existing coverage when they held the House under Trump.
The Democrats didn’t want it.

You should just quit the internet.
You are living proof that Conservatives are smarter than Democrats.
Be best.
So when Republicans had the House, 20 of them voted with the Democrats to oppose that bill, and it passed with 217 votes. It needed 216.
Why didn’t the Republican-controlled Senate also pass it? Was it because of the 23 million Americans the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimated would lose insurance coverage? Or was it because of the massive cuts to Medicaid?
Ann,
You need 60 votes to pass a bill in the Senate for regular legislation.
Do I need to further explain that to you?
Well, with all due respect, 8:20, the AHCA of 2017 was introduced as a reconciliation bill.
Do you know the term RINO?
Collins, Murkowski, McCain.
They are not Republicans or Conservative.
Nothing you have posted has rebutted the fact that Republicans and Conservatives are for pre-existing conditions.
Your talking point has failed.

Ann,
You link to an article but have no comment on it?
There are smarter people in the world like me than the person who wrote the article you linked to.
Let’s discuss the bill that was passed in the House.
Why were the Democrats against it?
You sound like you have a raging case of TDS. If you think Nancy’s childish response was a fine one you need serious anger management help. When are people like you going to get over the 2016 election?
Ann,
Why are you mad that non-whites have had their best years under Trump?
Did you hear the news about Minnesota?
The IRS database has just been updated with the addition of two more years of statistics on the movement of taxpayers across state lines, covering the years 2016-17 and 2017-18. Unfortunately, these new data show that the trend that existed as of 2016 continues: Minnesota gains low-income residents from other states, but loses middle- and upper-income residents, generally to lower-tax states.
In fact, the IRS data show that Minnesota, on net, lost $900 million in income to other states between 2016 and 2018. …

In Minnesota, we often hear talk about whether our high tax rates drive away “the rich.” Unfortunately, that is only one of our problems. The IRS database shows that Minnesota was a net loser of residents in every income category from $50,000 up in 2017-18. Out-migration is very much a middle-class issue. By contrast, the state attracted a net inflow of domestic migrants with incomes of $25,000 or less.

Nancy deliberately broke the law with tearing up the speech, and should be punished with a fine, jail time, and forever losing the right to be a government official. ENFORCE that law!!
The signed address delivered into Pelosi’s custody wasn’t hers to destroy. Behold the consequence:
18 U.S.C. § 2071(b)— specifically directed at custodians of public records. Any custodian of a public record who “willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys (any record) shall be fined not more than $2,000 or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.” While the range of acts proscribed by this subsection is somewhat narrower than subsection (a), it does provide the additional penalty of forfeiture of position with the United States.
Let justice be done.
Performative bs. It’s this sort of petty crap that makes me hate politics more and more. I can’t stand Trump, but this is petty nonsense done for a photo op and makes me dislike her too.
That is the oldest looking baby I’ve ever seen in my life; at least, being an infant is the only excuse I can think of that doesn’t hinge on Nancy being a spiteful, hate-filled old woman who is losing relevancy and is losing her grip on any sanity she could ever lay claim to.
Anyone who applauds her childishness needs to rethink their life and take a look at the mirror and try to see if there is anything in their heart but hatred.
The President refused to share the Speaker’s hand, but yes, let’s focus our outrage on her tearing up the speech. Such hypocrisy.
Take the log out of your own eye.
He didn’t shake Pence’s hand either.
I don’t see a refusal to shake her hand as much as as turn after handing her a copy wherein he didn’t see her hand. However, the tearing up of the speech was clear as day.
After what the Democrats have tried to do to the President and to the country in the last 3 years, if it was intentional I wouldn’t blame the president.
Therefore, I will focus my outrage on her tearing up of the speech.
I loved what Pelosi has done and I LOVE what the Democrats are doing and have done for the last 3 years. I say keep up the good work, we support you!!! They have exposed themselves for the Frauds that they are. Don’t get me wrong I am just as disgusted with many of the RINOs but, they are the lesser of 2 evils and the Democrats are worthless and resemble nothing this party stood for 20+ years ago. These people are unhinged, lying, EVIL, people who have no interest in helping the American people. Keep going because your going to lose Left Center Dems and Independents in droves. I bet good $ that Minnesota turns Red in 2020, its going to happen!
Democrats have lowered themselves to Trump’s level. How sad.
Whatever, these clowns stated days after the election they were going to Impeach him. They had NO intention of working with him there already had him convicted and were looking for an opportunity. You sound like a Partisan hack but, most Dems do
“If Liberals didn’t have double standards they wouldn’t have any standards at all”
He was impeachable from day one due to the emoluments clause.
Oh, and how’s the Alex! campaign going?
VSG,
You do know that Obama is involved in the biggest scandal in US history right?
The facts will be coming out this year from Durham.
Oh, now we are talking about Obama?…. #GasLighting
Frankly, I find it sad that my 4 year-old godson has better manners than either Speaker of the House or the President.
Both need to act their ages, not their shoe sizes.
This was the tip of the iceberg. Normally, the speaker and vice president sit respectfully, even if they disagree. Pelosi was shifting in her seat, looking and waiving all around the room. She shrugged her shoulders, shook her head. It was embarrassing to watch. Is it just me, or is the national DNC starting to look more and more like the SD democrats?
Springer: would this be impeachable? Lol
You know what set her off? When she realized there was nothing in the speech about Impeachment (Her crowning achievement). Watch it again. She went thru the speech and when she was done she went livid in her body language. They thought they would bait Trump to do something stupid but he didn’t take the bait. Nancy, Adam, & Jerry just got told they are irrelevant before the entire nation.
Today, the last word on impeachment is acquittal.
What was equally crazy is Trump mentioned many things which were bi-partisan issues where the Democrats refused to stand and get their due. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Excellent points, Trump did get a zing in on a comment below when he basically told them moral victories (toothless impeachment) don’t count.
“Members of Congress, we must never forget that the only victories that matter in Washington are victories that deliver for the American people”
Troy
I thought the same.
Saturday Night Live could be wildly exhilarating If the drive-by’s allow it!!!
CBS could even start a new show called “The Speaker” (can you imagine the revenue of Dental Implant ads) and dump the boring Hillary based Madame Secretary.
Anonymous at 11:15 above,
The thing is, a conservative’s post in a very conservative publication was the link I provided. Essentially, he’s making the case that conservatives oppose mandatory protections of persons with pre-existing conditions, and he says it’s RINOs who have latched onto that as their favorite cherry in the AHCA.
The AHCA, introduced as a reconciliation bill, barely passed the House. About 20 or so Republicans voted against it. Many, if not most, of those were members of the Freedom Caucus. Isn’t that a conservative group?
Democrats were opposed to the bill because it rolled back the ACA’s provisions too much. The repeal of payroll taxes, according to the conservative Brookings Institution, would have destroyed the Medicare Trust Fund. And the CBO’s estimates of the repeal of Medicaid expansion would have meant loss of healthcare coverage for 23 million Americans.
So, yes, even Republican and conservative support for the AHCA fell apart enough that it almost did not get out of the House. What the Senate actually considered were 3 different bills, either of which could have been that year’s reconciliation bill, but none of which pleased the Freedom Caucus because they did not go far enough in repealing the ACA.
Thus, Dems were opposed because they were protecting the ACA, and the Republicans couldn’t agree enough on what or how much to repeal so it was simply fell apart.
