Heyo, optics check?

Nancy Pelosi’s petulant decision to tear up a copy of Trump’s speech at the end of last night’s State of the Union address appears to have massively backfired.

Presumably attempting to appear courageous, the Speaker of the House’s angry mannerisms only ended up making her look like a grandma off her meds.

The hashtag #PelosiTantrum soon began trending on Twitter, with the general consensus being that the moment represented an optical disaster.

“Nancy’s #PelosiTantrum was a huge error on her part,” commented journalist Tim Pool. “Democrats needed to keep the news cycle focused on Trump’s speech as their key talking point was that Trump was lying In her rage it seems she just shifted the entire conversation to decorum and her pettiness.”

“The names of Americans who DIED for our country were written in this speech. @SpeakerPelosi has NO respect for our country or its people,” tweeted Ashley Stamets.

“That was ripping up Janiyah’s dream of going to school, commented Scott Presler. “That was ripping up the Hake family, who lost their dad because of terrorist Soleimani. We will remember.”

“It is hilarious to see Speaker Pelosi so #Classless and #Broken,” remarked Carmine Sabia. “They know 2020 is gone. Who is their hero Pete Buttigieg? Ok. They know it’s over and they cannot stand it.”

Carl Higbie pointed out that in destroying the document, Pelosi’s action could have violated the law.

18 US code 2071 states: “Whoever, having the custody of destroys the same, shall be fined… shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.”

FYI: @SpeakerPelosi destroyed an official government document.

However, others pointed out that the document was a copy, not an official government document. Still, many people called for Pelosi to at least be censured.

“If Trump broke this law the Democrats would try to impeach him…,” commented Donald Trump Jnr.

Senator Kennedy: ‘There Are Times When I think Pelosi Has Eaten Tide Pods’

Says Speaker is “bone deep down to the marrow foolish”

GOP Senator John Kennedy used a startling cultural reference to portray his belief that believes Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is crazy, saying that he often thinks she has ‘is one of those people who tried Tide Pods’ laundry detergent.

Appearing with Sean Hannity, Kennedy was addressing Pelosi’s obsession with the $3.4 trillion coronavirus bill.

“Sean, with respect, there are times, particularly recently, when I think Speaker Pelosi is one of those people who tried Tide pods,” Kennedy hilariously stated.

“I want you to think about what she proposed today, this is what the speaker is threatening to do,” he continued, adding “She is threatening to keep the House Democrats in session and prevent them from going home and running for reelection unless the Senate Republicans agree to the speaker’s $3.4 trillion coronavirus bill.”

“On the one hand we can vote for Pelosi’s $3.4 trillion bill or we can agree to allow her to put the House Democratic majority into jeopardy. That’s just bone deep down to the marrow foolish,” Kennedy urged.

Kennedy further emphasised that Nothing is going to get done while the Democrats refuse to back down over something that is never going to come to fruition.

“Senator Schumer and Speaker Pelosi aren’t going to agree to anything until we agree to spend a trillion dollars bailing out New York and California and that’s not going to happen in your or my natural life,” Kennedy added.

Kennedy’s assessment of Pelosi’s sanity comes on the heels of Mad Money Host Jim Cramer calling Pelosi “crazy Nanncy” right to her face, before instantly apologising:

Jim Cramer: “What deal can we have, Crazy Nancy? I’m sorry, that was the president. I have such reverence for the office. I would never use that term …”

Report: Biden Lawyers Up In Preparation For “Extended Legal Battle” Election

Democrats are not going to accept the election result if Trump wins

The New York Times is reporting that Joe Biden has hired hundreds of lawyers, including two former solicitor generals, and has created an entire legal division to fight an extended battle after the election.

The report notes that Bob Bauer, a former White House Counsel under Obama will help oversee the operation, with Donald Verrilli Jr. and Walter Dellinger, the two former solicitors general, heading up Biden’s “special litigation” unit:

The report also notes that Biden has employed hundreds of independent law firms, with former Attorney General Eric Holder serving as a liaison between them and the campaign.

The stated aims of the unit are to “combat voter suppression,” “guard against foreign interference,” as well as ensuring “voters cast their ballots correctly.”

“There are some unique challenges this year,” Bauer told the the Times, adding that “We’re not going to get caught up in alarmist rhetoric they [the Trump campaign] are using to scare voters.”

“The constant return to the issue of fraud is itself a voter suppression tool,” he added.

The move plays into the Democratic narrative that Biden will win the election over a long drawn out period, and that President Trump will try to claim a quick victory and even refuse to leave the White House.

The narrative has been pushed hard by the likes of the Clintons, who have repeatedly urged Biden not to concede defeat under any circumstances.

In reality, new polls indicate that Trump has a huge lead:

This also jives with the paltry numbers seen attending Biden rallies:

All indications are that Trump will win on election day, yet the Democrats will refuse to accept the result:
