(Washington, DC)—House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a fit of pique at the end of what everyone outside the mainstream media, the majority of Democratic primary voters, and the remaining communist world leaders deemed to be the most outstanding State of the Union Address ever delivered by a President of the United States, tonight tore up what she thought was a copy of the speech handed to her an hour earlier by President Donald Trump.
In fact, it was the official copy of the impeachment indictment that she and her Democratic colleagues had signed in December.
“Darn it,” Ms. Pelosi said when she was told of her mistake. “I should have known the difference. The impeachment indictment was completely clean. But I had doodled all over the president’s speech—you know, I giggled as I drew a little baby with x’s for eyes when he was talking about banning partial-birth abortion, and I cried a little inside and drew a sad face when he talked about killing poor Soleimani and Baghdadi.”
Constitutional law experts now agree that the House’s impeachment of President Trump is thus invalidated and that there is no need for the Senate to hold a vote on a verdict on Wednesday.

Love the diabolical look on Pelosi’s face when she tears up his speech, as if she magically thinks the act of destroying a copy is going to make it be as if the speech never existed and was never delivered. And I love satire! Keep it coming – the Left has absolutely no sense of humor. All the more reason why we must have one ourselves. And they make it so easy to laugh at them. They keep on losing and we keep on winning. It’s a beautiful thing.
In my opinion the Speaker should have Introduced our President as traditionally practiced in the past. The President could have shook her hand as well. Would this have changed the emotional climate? I doubt seriously that it would have changed the Speaker’s behavior. The behavior of Democrats was inexcusable, unprofessional, and a very poor example of proper behavior with regard to the 100 year old Veteran and his great Grandson, the black ex-drug user who has been able to change his life, the 4th grade girl who was selected to attend the charter school she wanted, and 13 year old son and his mother who lost a husband and a father that served our country. There are more examples as well.
It would be so very appropriate for Sen. McConnell, at the conclusion of today’s final Senate vote, to tear asunder the two articles of impeachment and head over to the White House celebration.
Good fun!
