Say what you will about Pelosi, she knows just where to stick the knives.

Coming from a president who is full of sheets, it’s only fitting.

It was either rip up the speech or bang that gavel where it would really count. She chose the relatively … ahem … polite approach.

Pelosi ripped up Trump Reality TV Campaign Show script, not a speech.

Did any of those shocked GOPers mention Trump refused to shake her hand?

Man a full load of projection.

What he’s really upset about is how thoroughly she upstaged him.

What? The speech was over, so she just made her paper copy more suitable for recycling. Jeez. Talk about overly sensitive.

Pieces like this really irk me.

This thread literally does nothing but provide a larger audience to a bunch of right wing nut jobs…in abundance.

I know the “delete your account” thing is snarky and tired by now…

But seriously TPM…Delete this “Article.”

Let’s see…she could have eaten it. Remember earlier in his reign when they let slip that he ate memos, violating the presidential records statutes so that there wouldn’t be any evidence?
And remember earlier in the evening when he refused to shake her hand?
They have such high standards for all Dems, while having no standards for his behavior.

He should thank her…now people are talking about that instead of the way that his keepers had to lead him out of the chamber.

Well, it’s gratifying to see that it’s really gotten to all of them- their own tactics used against them. No memories of “You lie,” pearl clutchers?

Way to go, Nancy. You did us proud!

This is not news. You are doing a disservice to the American reading public by reporting this and giving him more publicity. You need to up your game.

It is regrettable that the U.S. Senate has put us in this position, but we are left with only one course of action: grab your wallet and holdfast. Adopt a miserly stance until the election. We must not allow the Trump Administration to claim our spending as justification for their malfeasance.

Voting is a civic duty and everyone should do so, but, as we have painfully learned, winning the vote does not win the election.

Our dollars are also powerful, perhaps more than our votes. Considering the demographics of voters, one could argue ours are the most powerful dollars in the sense that they constitute a plurality of consumption spending.

Truly, I wish no harm on any person – I have worked hard, and continue to work, to free myself of such resentments. But a recession is a small price to pay for saving the Republic.

This is not hyperbole. Today the Senate will affirm that they cannot defend our country when ideology compels them to act otherwise. It is morally and ethically wrong to spend a dime in support of their cowardice.

I spend thirty seconds reading emissaries from GOP’s outrage machine, and I feel completely reassured that many of my fellow Americans would be quite happy to participate in their own Kristallnacht. Anyone who talks about bipartisanship should be nominated for the Twain humor prize.

She’s so far into his head she’s redoing the carpets and ordering new drapes. She might just kill him through sheer narcissistic rage.
