Yeah, my initial reaction was shock but then my mind went to find a logical explanation, maybe that it was some sort of procedural thing, like there can only be one copy of the speech and all others must be destroyed or some shit like that. And maybe she was tearing it up with a bit of dramatic gusto but it's a done thing. But no. Of course not. She's just an asshole doing asshole stuff.
Amp, I think the quote is don't interfere when your enemy is destroying herself.
I didn't have the heart to watch her sign the impeachment papers. My sis said she looked demented. Now the tearing up of the speech. Not just one tear, but four or five. With just one rip it would have looked stupid, but to keep going it went to another level.
One of my Trump-loathing, Bernie-loving coworkers claims she did it because of his handshake slight. But that doesn't explain it. Trump's refusal to shake hands was a personal slight, but Pelosi's shredding of the speech was a dig at Trump AND everyone he mentioned that evening. Still it is hard to imagine how else she could have gotten back at him.
I only hope that Pelosi regrets the whole impeachment fiasco and takes full responsibility for its failure. She had better political instincts but she didn't listen to them.
My Trump-loathing, Bernie-loving coworker is thinking that the DNC is trying to hide/expunge Bernie votes in Iowa. My theory is that it is planned chaos intended to delegitimize the entire Iowa primary. The move is afoot to let the larger states like NY and CA determine who will lead.
"...Trump-loathing, Bernie-loving..." I can't talk politics with Dems. They get so freaked out. I'm like, chill, dog. Well, actually I just say I don't discuss politics. Then they KNOW.
Trump tweeted that her copy of the speech will go to the National Archives :)
I couldn't find that tweet from Trump, deborah. Where did you see it?
The closest I could find in Trump's feed was a retweet of someone else saying Nancy's legacy was "ripping up a document she is mandated to preserve".
Google search also brought up this article on whether or not she was breaking the law, https://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2020/02/05/politifact-did-nancy-pelosi-break-the-law-by-ripping-trumps-state-of-the-union-speech/
Coming on a photo of the small pre-tears she'd made in some of her pages before the speech ended, along with a photo of her "ironic clap" and stare after the 2019 SOTU intro was additionally interesting to me as they reveal the heart of the matter, which involves her choosing to enter into deception and contempt rather than engage in truth and grace.
How was her act countered? What was the repair? By the adult actions of the House Minority leader, Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) who announced on the House floor Wednesday that he was delivering a copy of President Trump's State of the Union speech to be archived by the House Clerk.
McCarthy's announcement comes in the wake of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tearing her copy of the speech at the end of the address on Tuesday evening.
The California Republican blasted Pelosi, arguing that ripping the speech was disrespectful to the people Trump honored during his remarks.
"Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi was unmoved and chose to tear up the House’s copy of that speech," he said.
"She had no right to destroy this document, especially one filled with such impactful stories of American patriots," he added. "That record was presented before the People’s House and it belongs to the American people."
McCarthy said the copy he was submitting to the clerk that was given to him at the White House and signed by the president on Wednesday "will be remembered by history, not erased by the Speaker."
"In my hand, I have an official copy of the President’s State of the Union address, signed by President Trump," he said. "It will be delivered to the House Clerk’s office to be archived and preserved for posterity.
What I appreciated about this SOTU: The linking of Trump's accomplishments and ideals to real life events and stories reinforced with the physical reality of tangible presence.
Misread and misquoted it seems. However, the upside of doing so is that it served as a prompt, leading me to look in places I wouldn't have otherwise have gone and find info I wouldn't otherwise have seen.
Reading about Kevin McCarthy's response heartened me.

Next year he can laminate it.
Of course, then we'll all be treated to the sight of her gumming it for an hour.
Wow, hadn't seen it till now. She's like a little girl, ripping up the speech for the attention it will bring her.
It took me a few minutes for that C U Nickel Thing to drop. God I'm getting old.

But no.
Of course not.
She's just an asshole doing asshole stuff.
And Trump will make her pay.
Trump should send her a roll of scotch tape. Also Air Force 3 or whatever her's is called needs to be permanently grounded for maintenance.

Nancy meets Donny Udo.
The ultimate cheap trick. I think that it is backfiring on her.

Am, giving her a laminated copy would be a good sight gag next year.
Maybe she won't be there next year! Fingers crossed.

That is hard to dismiss, discount or deny.
If it was a re-tweet, I misread.

Glad it got you in gear.
I regard Pelosi's display to be on par with Clinton's "deplorable" moment, where she showed her true colors, under the whited sepulcher facade.
