She shouldn't have torn up the speech

[ibegurpard]

She should have wadded it into a ball and thrown it at the back of his lying head and then gut-punched Pence for good measure.

1. Well, Pelosi didn't specify the alternatives

So it might have crossed her mind to do just that, but she settled for tearing the speech into confetti. Statesmanlike.

[ibegurpard]

2. yep

[Fozzledick]

4. The obvious alternative might have required 10 to 15 flushes...

[gratuitous]

5. Or 10 to 15 stitches

[MontanaMama]

15. Just a flesh wound...

[lagomorph777]

17. Or both

[True Blue American]

28. Nancy handled it very well.

Trump did not find out until he was on the way back to the Whitehouse.

Wonder if Doug’s speech pushed him?

[unblock]

3. she did say it was the most cordial option....

[Baitball Blogger]

6. That woman is a lady.

[cry baby]

7. She could have lit it on fire 🔥

As in the a preview of what the Golden Calf will see...fires of hell...for eternity.

[ibegurpard]

8. that would've been amazing!

[cry baby]

9. And probably dangerous. The white hot heat from her gaze

will have to be enough.

[Bev54]

13. Not to mention

the noxious gas coming from the orange turd in front of her could have fireballed the entire room.

[cry baby]

14. Ooooh, hadn't thought of that...good point! nt

[2naSalit]

21. He is an extra large gasbag after all.

[yellowdogintexas]

23. that white hot heat should have set it on fire

all by itself.

[lagomorph777]

19. And left it on the South Portico?

a flaming bag of shit...

[cry baby]

32. Standing next to it with sunglasses on 😎

[Prosper]

10. What really adds validity to her and her actions is her objectivity .

She displayed clear objectivity and recognition by applauding generic items that were good. She closely watched and evaluated what Trump said. So tearing up the speech was her conclusion of her evaluation. Excellent performance Madam!!!

[jimfields33]

11. I doubt the secret service would allow that

[LonePirate]

12. She should have written "LIES" on it and held it up behind him during the speech.

[LAS14]

16. :-) nt

[denbot]

18. LoL, K&R n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Your joke is funny only in the Wiley Coyote Roadrunner cartoons. Not violence here. . . . nt

[yaesu]

22. She should have wrote in black marker in big letters across the front page HE LIES & carried it in

full view

[IronLionZion]

24. Charlie Rich will show you how it's done

[texasfiddler]

30. I still hate him for doing that!

Yes Effective!

[PatSeg]

25. Nancy is a lady

She was very precise and dignified when she tore up that speech. Also, she is Trump's worse nightmare.

[Traildogbob]

26. God on full disply

How fast Pence, God's personal favorite, sprang to his feet gleaming when trump out right lied about protecting health care and kicking poor off of needed food. He knows damn well it is a lie, yet in Gods face cheered it all. That is the God evilgelicals bow to? No thanks. Jesus, we gonna need a fish and a loaf of bread. Willing to bet Rusty Limpballs will not get into Gods gate, even wearing his precious award, given to him by God's chosen Co-creator. MAGA. If God is as all knowing as his autobiography suggested, he ain't buying Fox bull shit. Not boo boo the fool.

27. I loved it when she tore it into pieces on national TV. Too bad she didn't munch on some...

celery while she was tearing it into pieces, especially while motor mouth was talking.

[EveHammond13]

29. Mother!

[usaf-vet]

31. Did she not have the option to shut off the tv coverage. That would have been the thing to do.

Keep the rest of us from being poisoned by his lies and his cult followers from hearing them again as a confirmation of his lies.

Did she not have the option to shut off the tv coverage in her house?
Someone with the knowledge please say yes or no and why!

[PJMcK]

33. Speaker Pelosi has more experience than you or I

She played this very well.

Remember her iconic hand clap from last year's SOTU? It's still a meme every week here on DU.

Her tearing up Trump's speech demonstrated her utter contempt for Trump without being rude. That takes class.

Anyway, fuck Trump and his Republican enablers.

[ibegurpard]

34. I thought it was perfect

My thread title and content was tongue in cheek.

[PJMcK]

35. Yeah, I knew your post was in jest

Hell, if Speaker Pelosi had hit Trump with her gavel and then gave Pense a shot in the groin, I would have thought it was classy!

But then, I'm an Aristocrat, if you know what I mean.
