For all of you who are always criticizing Trump for not acting “presidential” you must be thrilled with Nancy Pelosi visibly tearing up Trump’s State of the Union address at the conclusion of his speech. No matter who occupies it, the Office of the President of the United States should always command a certain level of respect. I don’t know if Nancy Pelosi doesn’t understand that or if she just finally sold out to the extreme Trump haters. It’s really too bad because this will become her defining moment.

Her base eats that up like crack cocaine.

must be earned.  Those with the most power should be the most gracious and will earn respect, as a result of their actions.

...or anyone who disagrees with him.  He gets what he gives.  Maybe you'd like Pelosi to turn the other cheek.  Why?  So he could slap that one too?

Trump handed Pelosi the speech, she extended her hand to him and he turned his back on her. His sign of disrespect for another Constitutional officer was then responded to in kind. And President Snowflake's tiny feelings were SO hurt that the next day he said she broke the law for shredding his despicable pep rally speech, the most blatantly political SOTU speech ever. He got what he deserved but couldn't take, snowflake that he is.

Aren't we talking about the best "counter-puncher" of all time?  What a crock of BULL.  He will insult and disparage someone and AFTER they return the favor, his second volley is considered "counter-punching," after HE initiated the entire exchange anyway.

I would have thought at least ONE of them, who's TDS is under control, would have been able to blame both Trump and Pelosi for their lack of professionalism and silliness but NOOOOOOOOOOO...its ALL Trump's fault.  

Camera shows he was already turning when she started moving her arm to shake, so he likely didn't see the gesture.  Also he didn't shake Pence's hand either.

Then I read it a second time and was appalled at the lack of context. You start with noting that she “led the charge to oust him from his job” without noting that she did this only after he was caught soliciting a foreign government to do personal political favors –a/k/a she was doing her job.

Her initial counsel was to avoid partisan impeachment.  Even if dems held a majority in the Senate, unless they could get 67 votes, impeachment was a loser.   In the Clinton impeachment aftermath, the GOP lost seats in the House.

And then you realized you were being bi-partisan in that assessment so you changed it. I see.

She has hated Trump ever since he declared he was running for president and most likely even before that.

believe that?  You seem like an intelligent enough of a guy.  But could your political leanings be taking you in a direction that is totally clouding your objectivity?

You're telling me I should believe you and not my own lying eyes.

Actually the left has always been extreme in denouncing conservatives, it's just so ingrained in society that no one notices until a conservative (who always play by society rules) returns fire.

"It was the snub of the handshake, thus proving she ripped it up bc of THAT reason and not for any "lies."  

And people wonder why you get best "Goal Post Mover" award every year.

That means YOU should bash Trump and the Dims and he gets to dump on Trump only. LOL

(SARCASTICALLY) Trump followers would have said if Michelle Obama plagiarized one of Melania's speeches?  We can all be sure, it would NOT have been good.

The Donald denied!

that somehow “proved” she did it this year bc of the snub. I’ve simply given you some plausible explanations as to why this is not so –including her own explanation.

I think, speaking for myself personally, that I will believe "my own lying eyes" over ANYTHING a certified Trump hater tries to tell me actually happened.

Her hand never crossed the goal line before Trump turned his gaze away to the rest of  the room.  

It seems clear that she waited to extend her hand until he turned so he would not see it, to make it appear he snubbed her. I bet she planned and rehearsed it just like the tearing up of the speech.  

Here's what I think happened. Trump didn't want to shake her hand so, just in case she made the gesture, he began to turn away as soon as possible after handing her the speech. Before he did that she'd poised herself to offer her hand but caught him already turning away.
I don't think she decided to tear up his speech in that moment but did so later in disgust at all his many, many lies.
Good for her. He's a pig who dishonors his office and deserves only the same disrespect he shows others.

Not only did Nancy NOT decide to tear up the speech "in the moment" but she started practicing to make sure she didn't fuck it up less than halfway through the SOTU speech itself.  

You say she "started practicing...less than halfway through." So you agree she didn't decide to do it when when he spurned her handshake. Or maybe you read her mind? Read your sentence again. It's totally fucked up.

That is something made up by "your side" to justify her actions, not anything I ever said.  

Your statement contains an internal contradiction and you're too dumb and too stubborn to see it. TSTTT.

member of the "crew" to admit it when they or Trump makes a mistake, are you?  Ain't going to happen.

saying to himself . . . . "Once, pleeeeez don't try to help me."  Nick can take care of himself.  You are "Mister-make-it-worse."
