When asked afterwards “Why did you tear up the speech?”

Pelosi responded:

“Because it was the courteous thing to do… It was the courteous thing to do considering the alternative.”

One can only wonder what the alternative was.

One year after Nancy Pelosi’s famous SOTU 2019 handclap…

… and one failed impeachment later, Trump returned the favor and snubbed Pelosi’s handshake as he took the stage at today’s SOTU address.

Pelosi, as expected, snubbed Trump right back, introducing him only as “The President of the United States”, whereas traditionally the speaker has used the language: “I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the President of the United States.”

Still, Trump will have the final laugh: in less than 24 hours the Senate will vote to acquit Trump of the impeachment farce passed by Pelosi’s House a few weeks ago, a process Pelosi herself did not want to pursue afraid that it would backfire and cripple the chances of the establishment’s favorite candidate, Joe Biden, but was ultimately was forced to concede by the radical left-wing in the Democratic party.

In retrospect, she should have gone with her gut feeling.

Pelosi Shredded After Tearing Up SOTU Speech; Offers Lame Excuse

by Staff Writer, February 5th, 2020

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was widely rebuked on both sides of the aisle after tearing up her copy of President Trump’s State of the Union Address Tuesday night.

On Wednesday, the White House Twitter account slammed Pelosi for dishonoring distinguished guests, writing “That’s her legacy.”

Meanwhile, Vice President Mike Pence told Fox & Friends “I wasn’t sure if she was ripping up the speech or ripping up the Constitution,” adding “The contrast here was a president who spent an hour-and-a-half making the speech about America and Nancy Pelosi in the final moments tried to make it about her.”

Several C-Span callers who identified as Democrats said that Pelosi’s stunt was beyond the pale.

And conservative attorney and impeachment witness Jonathan Turlley wrote in a Wednesday Op-Ed in The Hill, “the conduct of Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the State of the Union address this week will go down as a day of infamy for the chamber as an institution.”

While it has long been a tradition for House speakers to remain stoic and neutral in listening to the address, Pelosi seemed intent on mocking President Trump from behind his back with sophomoric facial grimaces and head shaking, culminating in her ripping up a copy of his address.

Her drop the mic moment will have a lasting impact on the House. While many will celebrate her trolling of the president, she tore up something far more important than a speech. She shredded decades of tradition, decorum, and civility that we need now more than ever. The House speaker is more than a political partisan, particularly when carrying out functions such as the State of the Union address. A president appears in the House as a guest of both chambers of Congress. The House speaker represents not her party or herself but the entirety of the chamber. At that moment, she transcends her political ambitions and loyalties. –Jonathan Turley via The Hill

Pelosi has responded to critics, telling House Democrats in a closed-door caucus meeting “He shredded the truth, so I shredded his speech,” adding that Trump’s address was “a manifesto of mistruths,” according to The Hill.

“You are supposed to talk about the state of the union,” Pelosi continued. “not the state of your alleged mind.”

Sure Nancy.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].

    I think it’s despicable and childish what she did and according to 18 U.S.C. § 1361, she may have broken the law with her little stunt. 1663. PROTECTION OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY — PROTECTION OF PUBLIC RECORDS AND DOCUMENTS. She should at minimum be censored for that.

    Ill mannered and discourteous,
    And wearing her Protesting ALL WHITE DRESS CODE, how pathetic
    This old hag needs to be on a Pike for the crimes she has committed along with demented schifty..
