Who would have thought 12 years ago, this thread would have taken off like it has, not once being archived!
Thank you Doc for liking the idea all those years ago, and the rest of you for keeping it going.
If memory serves, I was sitting in the dentist's office thumbing through a copy of Newsweek and was looking at their political cartoon page.
The light came on and here we are.
From Obama to Trump and every national event covered since then is told like a picture book story right here.
Thank you!
I start my day at the office on this thread. It's been that long and that good. Thank YOU Lollie for starting this thread..

Doc,,;
Tonite, in the most despicable action I have ever seen from a politician Ms Pelosi tore up the Presidents speech as he ended the night. Such disrespect for the people of our country should not go unanswered. Sadly, she is not accountable to the American people.
WE THE PEOPLE can do nothing about MS Pelosi except to vote her House member supporters out of office.
This is important for she is third in succession for the office of POTUS.
I saw that. Totally despicable. What a B*tch.

Nancy Pelosi rips Trump's State of the Union address, sparking huge reactions
By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/na...dress-sparking-wild-reactions-on-social-media
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., apparently did not enjoy President Trump's State of the Union address, tearing her printed copy of the speech immediately as the president wrapped up his remarks Tuesday night.
When Fox News asked her afterwards why she did it, she responded: "Because it was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives." She added: "I tore it up. I was trying to find one page with truth on it. I couldn't."
On the heels of an impeachment trial, which is excepted to end in an acquittal in the Senate on Wednesday, tension was palpable between Pelosi and Trump. The president apparently "snubbed" the speaker when she tried to shake his hand as he handed printed copies of his address to her and to Vice President Mike Pence.
Pelosi occasionally shuffled the pages of the president's speech throughout his address. When he finished, she made her dramatic move.
The White House quickly responded to Pelosi's torn speech.
"Speaker Pelosi just ripped up: One of our last surviving Tuskegee Airmen. The survival of a child born at 21 weeks. The mourning families of Rocky Jones and Kayla Mueller. A service member's reunion with his family. That's her legacy," the White House tweeted, referencing individuals whom Trump mentioned during his address.
The ripping of the speech sparked lots of other reactions across social media.
"Disappointed to see @SpeakerPelosi rip up the speech that mentioned lives we’ve lost and heroes we celebrated at the SOTU. No matter how you feel or what you disagree with, remember others are watching. This was unbecoming of someone at her level in office," former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley said.
"NEW LOW FOR NANCY PELOSI: She ripped up @realDonaldTrump's #SOTU speech for the cameras on national TV. This speech was about American heroes and American workers. She decided THAT was worth literally tearing apart. Absolutely disgraceful," House Republican Whip Steve Scalise condemned the speaker.
"House Speaker Pelosi just ripped up Trump’s speech at its conclusion. Hardcore base will cheer it, many will see it as classless and petty," The Hill media reporter Joe Concha reacted.
"Pelosi literally tearing up the speech as Trump walks away without facing her," Huffington Post senior writer Jonathan Cohn summarized the icy ending to the address.
"Nancy Pelosi ripped her #SOTU transcript because that's ALL SHE'S GOT... childish actions to counteract real policy that's improving America," political satirist Tim Young tweeted.
Pelosi actually just ripped up Trump’s #SOTU speech right when he finished. Absolutely childish," political strategist Caleb Hull reacted.
Others cheered on Pelosi's move.
"Nancy’s ripped up speech moment may have won," Daily Beast editor-at-large Molly Jong-Fast declared.
"Do y’all understand that Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi RIPPED UP that crap speech and tossed it on the dais like the trash that it was WHILE that cretin was still speaking. And she did it ON CAMERA! @SpeakerPelosi is a real one!" actress Yvette Nicole Brown praised the speaker.
"We just saw the moment of the night. Speaker Pelosi ripped up her copy of Trump’s speech as he concluded his remarks," MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner wrote

The look on her face while doing it shows how psychotic she really is.
In turn, or before that, the President refused to shake her extended hand.
He was probably thinking not a chance, bitch.
PG, I honestly think that he never saw her extended hand. He handed Mike Pence his copy and didn't shake his hand. He handed Pelosi her copy which she accepted and started to turn away before she stuck out her hand. I don't think that he meant to snub her at all although I would have understood if had turned to the Dems at the end of the speech and said, "And lastly, I am still your President".
I think that Pelosi's antics and theatrics have completely destroyed the Democratic Party. Not that I'm complaining but she's playing to the far left and she already has their vote. All the lies, bullshit and hatred turns off the independents and the center/right of her party that she desperately needs to win elections. She is playing right in to Trump's hands and she's too drunk or demented, blinded by hate, to see it. RIP Dems.
I never thought that I'd say this but she has even less "class" than Michelle.
Mike Pence: Nancy Pelosi hit a 'new low' by ripping up Trump's SOTU speech
By Talia Kaplan | Fox News

Vice President Pence reacted to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., ripping up her copy of Trump's State of the Union speech as soon as the president concluded his address to Congress, saying on Wednesday, “I think it was a new low.”
Speaking on “Fox & Friends” the morning after President Trump delivered the State of the Union address, Pence, who was standing next to Pelosi during the president’s speech, added, “I wasn’t sure if she was ripping up the speech or ripping up the Constitution.”
Pence, who said he did not actually see Pelosi rip up the speech, but found out a few moments later, noted that “The contrast here was a president who spent an hour-and-a-half making the speech about America and Nancy Pelosi in the final moments tried to make it about her.”
“I think the American people see through it. They see through the pettiness, they see through the politics of all of it,” Pence continued.
“I think what they got last night was a speech that lifted up the country, that celebrated the incredible progress we’ve made in our economy, rebuilding our military, strengthening our court, but the stories that the president told were American stories and I just know it was a great blessing to people all across America and it’s one of the reasons why you see the momentum growing behind this president.”
“I just have a strong feeling that she’s [Pelosi’s] going to be the last Speaker of the House to sit in that chair for a long time,” he went on to say, seeming confident about Republicans' chance in the November election.
During Trump’s speech on Tuesday night, the president went on the offensive against socialism and left-wing policies -- drawing groans from Democrats in attendance and prompting a furious Pelosi to make the dramatic gesture.
The vice president said on Wednesday that it felt like she had planned to rip up the speech all along because “it felt like such an immediate moment.”
Pence said he has been to many State of the Union addresses as a member of Congress and noted last night was his fourth as a vice president of the United States.
“There’s always a basic decorum and a basic respect,” Pence said. “But to have her [Pelosi] stand up and tear up that speech really dishonored the moment and I really thought it was beneath the dignity of a joint session of Congress and I think it will be remembered as such.”
Asked about the moment by Fox News afterward, Pelosi said she had destroyed the speech “because it was the courteous thing to do considering the alternatives.” She also said she was "trying to find one page with truth on it" but "couldn't."
Pence reacted to her response on Wednesday morning saying, “I actually don’t get her take on this. Now she is saying it was filled with lies. What lies were in there?”
“I mean I watched the president build this speech,” he continued. “Everything about the economy, everything about the military, everything about President Trump’s decisive action taking out [ISIS leader Abu Bakr] al-Baghdadi and [Iranian General] Qassem Soleimani, every story about Americans, the hopeful aspirational tone at the end. I expect when the dust settles on this speech it’s going to be remembered as one of the best State of the Union addresses in history.”
The White House responded almost immediately to Pelosi’s move on Tuesday night by referencing several of the guests of honor whom Trump had introduced during the State of the Union address.
"Speaker Pelosi just ripped up: One of our last surviving Tuskegee Airmen. The survival of a child born at 21 weeks. The mourning families of Rocky Jones and Kayla Mueller. A service member's reunion with his family,” the White House said in a tweet. "That's her legacy."
On Wednesday, host Brian Kilmeade brought up what Rocky Jones’ brother Jody said earlier on “Fox & Friends,” reacting to Pelosi ripping up the speech. Rocky Jones was killed by a criminal illegal immigrant released under California's sanctuary policy in 2018.
It felt like she [Pelosi] ripped our hearts out,” Jody Jones said on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday morning. “Everybody there, all the guests, we couldn’t believe it.”
“I don’t care how you feel about somebody. That was probably the most disrespectful thing I have ever seen in my life because when she did that, it just tore us up. We couldn’t believe it,” he continued.
“This is a grieving family who lost a loved one at the hands of an illegal immigrant in California and she [Pelosi] ripped up Rocky’s story,” Pence said in response to Jones’ statements, noting that she also ripped up the stories of the other guests in attendance, including one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen, retired Brig. Gen. Charles McGee, who was also invited to attend the address on Tuesday night and who was honored by the president.
In an apparent attempt at reconciliation, Pelosi tweeted late Tuesday that Democrats "will never stop extending the hand of friendship to get the job done #ForThePeople." Pelosi also released a statement saying Trump did not issue a positive message on health care, and calling his speech a "manifesto of mistruths."
The flareup was a harsh reminder of the partisan discord pervading the halls of Congress, even as Trump in his speech all but ignored the historic impeachment drama that flanked this year's address -- a fight virtually certain to end with Trump's acquittal on Wednesday.
