RIP IT GOOD

Sound that rip
Give the glass a sip
Pelosi’s on crack
Bring obama back

When a speech comes along
You must rip it
Before Donald’s here too long
You must rip it
When POTUS going strong
You must rip it
Now rip it
Into shreds
Shred it up
Clap straight
Go forward
Make a face
Try to impeach him

It’s not too late
To rip it
Rip it good

When Donald Trump comes to town
You must rip it
We’ll try to take him down
Unless you rip it
No one gets away
Until I rip it
I say rip it
Rip it good
I say rip it
Rip it good
Sound that rip
Give the glass a sip
Nancy’s on a crack
Bring obama back
When a speech comes along
You must rip it

Before the Dems sit out too long
You must rip it
When our party’s full of dung
You must rip it

When a speech comes along
You must rip it
Before Donald’s here too long
You must rip it
When POTUS going strong
You must rip it
Now rip it
Into shreds
Shred it up
Clap straight
Go forward
Make a face
Try to impeach him
It’s not too late
To rip it
Into shreds
Shred it up
Clap straight
Go forward
Make a face
Try to impeach him
It’s not too late
To rip it
Rip it good

Gentlemanly of you to give that thug the benefit of the doubt, but actually, Mr. Turley, Speaker Pelosi planned the act in advance:

Malice aforethought. (Just another drama queen—in oh-so-pure white).

As for “maintain[ing] the dignity and neutrality of her office at the State of the Union”, how is that even conceivably possible at this stage of the game?…Especially since “It’s all about ME!”, always was and always will be….

“Look at what the papers are saying. Are they saying “Are there Communists in the State Department ?” No, they’re saying “How many Communists are there in the State Department”.”

And now, are the media talking about the SOTU speech ? No, they’re talking about Nancy’s reaction to the SOTU.

That may be what Nancy wanted; because she doesn’t want people paying attention to the speech, she wants people paying attention to her.

The House has its share of infamies, great and small, real and symbolic, and has been the scene of personal infamies from brawls to canings. But the conduct of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) at the State of the Union address this week will go down as a day of infamy for the chamber as an institution. It has long been a tradition for House Speakers to remain stoic and neutral in listening to the address. However, Pelosi seemed to be 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. Pelosi has shredded decades of tradition, decorum and civility that the nation could use 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 must transcend her own political ambitions and loyalties.
…
First, Pelosi dropped the traditional greeting before the start of the address, “Members of Congress, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the president of the United States.” Instead, she simply announced, “Members of Congress, the president of the United States.” It was extremely petty and profoundly inappropriate. Putting aside the fact that this is not her tradition, but that of the House, it is no excuse to note that the president was impeached.

Such an indignity was not imposed on President Clinton during his own impeachment proceeding, and anyone respecting due process would note that Trump has been accused, not convicted, at this point in the constitutional process.
…
Pelosi has demolished decades of tradition with this poorly considered moment. Of course, many will celebrate her conduct and be thrilled by the insult to Trump. However, even those of us who disagree with his policies should consider what Pelosi destroyed in her moment of rage. She shredded the pretense of governing with civility and dignity in the House. Notably, she did not wait to rip up her copy of the speech until after she left the House floor. Pelosi wanted to do it at the end of the speech, in front of the camera, with the president still in the chamber.

That act was more important to Pelosi than preserving the tradition of her office. In doing so, she forfeited the right to occupy that office. If Pelosi cannot maintain the dignity and neutrality of her office at the State of the Union, she should resign as the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Rep. Matt Gaetz said he will be working to get an investigation going into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi because she tore up a copy of President Trump’s State of the Union address.

“I will be filing charges against Nancy Pelosi in the House Ethics Committee,” the Florida Republican told Laura Ingraham on Fox News. “She disgraced the House of Representatives, she embarrassed our country, and she destroyed official records.”

“The law does not allow the speaker of the House to destroy the records of the House, and the rules of the House do not permit some little temper tantrum just because you don’t like what the president of the United States says,” he added, noting that he would be working with Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York to penalize the speaker.

Gaetz said Republicans are “sick of the double standard” and pointed out Democratic anger when Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted, “You lie!” to President Barack Obama during a speech to a joint session of Congress.

“We ought to apply the same standards to the Democrats that they want to apply to us, and there will be an ethics investigation of Nancy Pelosi, and we will start the ball rolling to have her censured, and the first act begins tomorrow,” he said.

I’m sure most of you know what happened in Cali to the independents – not just Uber & Lyft drivers, but artists & musicians & actors & writers & …..

Conservatives slammed CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta for his reaction to President Trump awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh.

“He was trying to make appeals to the African American community,” Acosta, 48, observed about Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night. “It can’t be forgotten that he was awarding the Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh, who has a history of making derogatory comments about African Americans. So I think, you know, overall, it’s a wash.”
…
Limbaugh’s producer, James Golden, who is often referred to by his pseudonym “Bo Snerdley,” issued a challenge to Acosta after seeing his comments.

“I just saw the footage from CNN’s Jim Acosta saying Rush has a ‘history’ of saying disparaging things about African Americans. I have been in the studio with Rush for 30 years. I would like to formally challenge CNN and @Acosta to provide the list,” Golden, who is black, wrote in a tweet.

It wasn’t only Nancy Pelosi who suffered an extreme meltdown over President Trump’s State of the Union Speech on Tuesday. Many TDS members of the mainstream media also suffered meltdowns as you can see in this video in which they are especially irked by the awarding of the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh.

This is what Trump’s SOTU address was about. Getting government off of a bureaucratic top dead center that has been a parasite on the people for too long. That top dead center isn’t the Constitution, and it’s a lie to say it is. The top dead center the old-consensus establishment refuses to get off of isn’t “constitutionalism” or the rule of law or due process or the American spirit. It has no claim to those honored principles. It’s merely what Washington has gotten used to, in the service of a progressive agenda, over the last 100 years.

That pattern of officious, managerial overreach into the people’s lives isn’t what America was founded or built to preserve. Trump’s SOTU address outlined in example after example on Tuesday night what America is meant to preserve. Trump got us to a record of renewed accomplishment in that regard in the short span of three years.

And that, my friends – as Rush Limbaugh would say – is what Nancy Pelosi ripped in pieces as Trump bid the nation goodnight with “God bless America!”

There is no more effective metaphor for what any of the 2020 Democratic candidates would do, if he or she were elected to the Oval Office in November.
