.... of the speech. Pelosi tore it up as soon as he finished the speech, he was not yet off the podium. trDump must have seen her do it. It was so thick she had to do it in three or four different segments.

In that kind of situation is pretty standard. If he was a normal human being he would have had his hand out even without seeing hers. That it doesn't occur to him to offer her that respect is the bottom line - whether he saw her hand being out of not.

but I have to congratulate Ms. Pelosi for keeping the eye rolls to an absolute minimum during that time. In fact, I'm not sure she rolled her eyes once, but you could tell she fighting it mightily. A heroic effort on her part.

The great dumb down of the american sheep people has reached its climax with ultimate mindless complacency. Those who parrot Trump's pathological lies are one thing. Those who love being lied to and can not tell it is just a pack of lies is something entirely different.
