    And may the blessings of heaven rest upon you and the republican cultists who worship Trump and his minions who are doing their part to help destroy our republic and through his divine teachings may you and yours see the errors of your ways.

    Wilson should not have shouted that but he was correct. Pelosi tore up all the good economic data, guest stories, and requests for action on vocational training among many other things.

    Not at all. It's the house of the body which inhabits it on behalf of the American people.

    Trump will be re-elected.

    If there's a God in Heaven, Pelosi will have left this earthly plane by then. She deserves that.

    The best part about this is how are Trump supporters going to criticize her without criticizing Trump?

    "She should be acting like a mature adult....oh"

    "She should be respecting the office and the institution...oh wait"

    "She shouldn't be having an immature temper tantrum on live tv...oh wait"

    "She should be respectful of those around her...oh wait"

    "She shouldn't be acting like this in front of the entire world, it's embarassing to the country...oh wait"

    And the list goes on.

    Yes. Anyone looking at the tape would conclude that he had turned away and didn’t see the offer of handshake.

    Pelosi tore up a policy speech. Big mistake. The Democrats bemoan a dark partisan speech. There was nothing but good news based on policies and an outline of actions going forward.

    No list. She tore up all the economic good need, guest stories, and requests for the future. That’s what she did.

    We are in agreement. I was addressing the classlessness of Wilson's verbal comment and it was over in one second, pelosi on the other hand, spent the night making a complete and total ass of herself but she has had a lot of practice doing that over the entire last year.
    I will spend four hours per day praying for her recovery.

    No, she tore up the pompous speech of a pompous man. The speech has nothing to do with the issues, it's just a ceremony.

    Exactly. The Democrats are furious because they are on the wrong side of all the issues they claim to advocate for. Trump has done more in three years for blue collar workers, low income minorities, low income students, and the middle class than the Democrats have done in decades.

    The speech documented all the economic good news which the Democrats have nothing to do with. For example - criminal justice reform. Democrats have talking about that for years. Trump got it done.

    You're not wrong. What the Democrats should have done from the beginning is take the high road, and be a contrast to Trump's immaturity and stupidity. Instead they tried to match his nincompoopery by being raving fanatical lunatics. To be fair, that was only some of the Democrats, but they were far more vocal than the rest.

    The sad thing is, it would have probably been far more effective at triggering Trump than what they did do. By acting like the adults in the room instead of joining Trump in his muck, it would have pissed him off that he wasn't getting the responses he wanted. The responses he's been getting from Democrats after he says something stupid and they practically set themselves on fire with outrage.

    It's not hard to make Trump look like a ****** rocket. He does most of the work for you. You only lose when you try to match him in ******iness.

    Considering the criminal justice vote passed the Senate 87-12 and the House 358-36, I'd say the Democrats did have something to do with it.

    Interesting facts. There were only 6 more Republican passing votes for the House bill than Democrat passing votes. All nay votes were from Republicans.

    Likewise in the Senate. All nay votes were from Republicans.

    The DEMS are good at one thing for sure... Self-destruction.
    The anti-Pelosi memes are going viral all over social media today.

    Then we have the dirty trick where Pelosi put out her hand the very moment he turned his head away from her. She will pay the price for that one too. :)

    Another low-IQ individual.

    Interesting you say that because I was thinking Mitch should tear up articles of impeachment on camera after the Senate votes

    I think that part of is was that Trump didn't "Trump" like they were hoping he would.

    Trump has the uncanny ability to shoot himself in the foot on a routine basis due to his mouth and his damn phone. Time and time again I've seen Trump snatch defeat from the hands of victory because he doesn't have the ability to just shut the hell up. When Liberals and Progressives were tearing each other apart in the Democrat Party a few months ago it was Trump and his mouth that reunited them again and turned their anger against each other back towards him. He always does that sort of thing.

    They were expecting Trump to stick his foot in his mouth during the State of the Union. Say something stupid or unprofessional or take childish jabs as he tends to do during his rallies so they could latch onto that and grab the soundbites and run. Honestly, so was I...I figured he would say something about impeachment and how the Dems are out to get him or something.

    He didn't...Instead he delivered arguably his best and most Presidential speech of his career and even though I am no super Trump fan I was impressed and honestly shocked because as I sat there listening to it with my eyebrows raised I was just waiting for Trump to do something "Trump" like. But he didn't.

    To those who can honestly view last night objectively Trump made the Democrats in the room look like fools. They hissed and carried on during certain points, they refused to stand and clap during multiple heartfelt moments that should instill pride in all Americans such as a Soldier returning home to surprise his wife. Yes much of it was theatrics but it from a political standpoint it was genius.

    I've always been one who argues against Trump being anything other than what we actually see and not some unstable genius that his die hard supporters seem to think he is. But last night was pure genius. Trump and the Republican Party orchestrated that State of the Union Address nearly flawlessly and baited the majority of the Democrat Party into looking like childish brats. I don't know whether the multiple theatrics were used as genuine feel good moments for America or as clever ploys to make the Democrats choose between standing and cheering for something he did or sitting down with their arms folded making faces as American children, workers, veterans, etc were honored.

    Either way it's what they did, and the optics of that when biased goggles are removed is absolutely horrible for Democrats. Topped off with the Speaker of the House ripping up the speech on live television that included all of those Americans honored as well as a few who have passed away.

    She screwed up, badly, and even many in her own camp know it which is why even the likes of CNN and MSNBC are condemning that.

    Well, he's certainly welcome to try....

    Then he needs to tear up the Internet...

    SNIP
    Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 18, 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. He is the third[d] U.S. president to be impeached.

    Regardless of Republican/Democrat "credit", it's proof that when they work together they can get something done. Also, with the President's liberal leanings in many regards, it would appear government can get a lot done.

    It's up to Pelosi, Schumer and McConnell to find ways they can work together. Maybe try not being children and send things to Trump's desk and no, he doesn't have to give them the "okay", that's a privilege reserved to the President. Maybe stick their necks out like freaking politicians.

    I couldn't say. I'm not even saying it isn't something Trump should take some credit for. But just some. The Democrats were a part of it too.

    Trump punches back. That’s part of his appeal. Republicans prior would go into apology mode when, for example, called racists by Democrats or the MSM. Trump tells those accusers that they are FOS. And his economic numbers show that.

    I was just rewatch a part of it the speech. The part where the woman's husband comes back from a deployment and the Republicans are cheating them, but the dems aren't....... hmmmm
