A stink face and paper ripping is fuck all. There was a time in the not so distant past she might have given him a good caning.

I thought it was quite inappropriate for her to tear up Trump's speech and make stink faces while he gave it.

Well, not all politicians can be as classy and unifying as Teh Donald.

Seems to me like there’s a double standard here. If Pelosi is so awful, what does that say about Trump?

That’s just locker room nonsense. Nothing like tearing up a speech.

@jon-nyc I was going to comment on (as you called him) Cardinal Hastert's sexual...indiscretions?

That alone makes him a horrible person.

But does it make him one of the worst speakers?

He might have raped children in his free time but made the legislation run on time. Is that what you’re suggesting?

Somebody once said take no notice of what politicians say, but focus on what they do. Presumably we’re only focusing on what they do at work.

Oh no, not by any means.

I suppose my comment came off as "other than that, Mrs. Lincoln..."

As a politician, was he capapble?

Stink faces are never appropriate.

I don't think Donald has ever been Speaker.

No, it doesn't.
