Republicans have a group faint when Nancy readies some worthless paper for the recycling bin. Spare me, please.

(32,080 posts)He was there at HER invitation. He was supposed to give a report on the state of our country. Instead, he gave us a goddamn, stunt-filled shitshow of a campaign rally. Speaker Pelosi shouldn't have torn up the paper. She should have had the Sergeant at Arms haul him out of there, and give him a boot up his ass on the way out. Those whiners can go fuck themselves.

(43,146 posts)I suspect it was a contingency plan that she decided to go through with after he refused to shake her hand. She did offer, per tradition, decorum. Well played!

(11,736 posts)They always feign injury and outrage while ignoring the reality of their own actions. Pelosi extended her arm to shake Trump's hand and he snubbed her. Even if what she did was out of a sense of "getting back" at him for the snub (which it absolutely was not), she would have been justified.
Republicans act like assholes all the time but when you do so much as to hit them with their own medicine, they whine.

(2,412 posts)Many are complaining that Madam Speaker should not have been angry and should not have ripped up his speech, that is was against decorum and good manners. Would they say that if a man did the same thing? Or would he be praised for being strong and decisive? This is sexism that women should never be angry, but quiet, smiling and polite.
I'm always saying that Democrats have to be perfect (even among other Democrats), but Republicans can do anything they damn well please. The MSM will always distort the outrage.
