Impeachment done, Pelosi unburdens herself about Trump
The Associated Press ^ | February 5, 2020 | by Laurie Kellman

President Donald Trump was gone, the House lights were dimming, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi looked up to her friends and family in the gallery overhead. She held up the speech she had shredded behind Trump’s back, on live television. She put her hand to her heart, dipped her head and gave a little bow.

The moment showcased Pelosi’s sharper, less-restrained approach to the nation’s 45th president at the bitter end of the impeachment saga she led. Now, she’s leading House Democrats out of impeachment’s shadow, through regular legislative business and toward Election Day in November. And though there’s no sign Pelosi herself is exiting the political stage, there’s abundant evidence that she’s unburdening herself of any lingering restraint when it comes to Trump.

And that’s saying something, considering her unapologetic style when it comes to him. She smirked and clapped, eye-to-eye with him at last year’s State of the Union. In private, she questioned the president’s manhood. And she stalked out of a White House meeting with him in October, bluntly suggesting the president is controlled by his counterpart in Russia.

But her speech-shredding on Tuesday night appeared to mark a pointier, post-impeachment phase, one Trump’s reelection campaign quickly sought to monetize.

“Wow. Nancy ripped my speech. She truly hates America,” said a text Wednesday as part of an effort to raise $2 million in 24 hours.

Look more closely, ABC News.

She wasn’t ripping up the SOTU. She had put that down on the table.

No, she was so moved by the SOTU, and so grateful for all that Trump has done for America that she was ripping up the two articles of impeachment.

Didn’t Pelosi say she will step down if Trump is acquitted?

Nancy lost in the last 5 days:
1) additional witnesses
2) her districts super bowl team
3) chaos and no real outcome in Iowa
4) at the SOTU
5) at impeaching Trump

WINNING!!!

If Trump can stick to the facts and resist his usual tendencency to make personal attacks, he will gain big-time. The suburban Republican soccer moms will no longer be looking for excuses to disregard his great record.

Impeachment isn’t over. They’ll try again as soon as he fails to put on shined shoes or lets Ivanka leave with a White House pen in her purse.
