I thought it was well-written and I agreed with all of it up until the last paragraph. The references to Mrs Pelosi's mental health could have been left off IMHO; it approaches personal animus and demagoguery that isn't needed. What Mrs Pelosi did was wrong and disrespectful to the office of the presidency IMHO and she should be called out for that, but using mental health as a negative without a clinical diagnosis isn't good. One may think her actions were reprehensible but that does not mean she is mentally ill.

We see the same thing around the USMB quite often, allegations of mental illness or retardation are a poor way to win an argument. All it really does is make somebody else defensive and incivility ensues. Nobody needs that.

IMO, if it was "well written"....wouldn't it be a bit less one sided?

"An open letter to Mrs. Pelosi,

Mrs. Pelosi, I am speaking to you woman to woman. I don’t care about our political parties or our individual beliefs right now. I’m simply speaking to you as a woman in the year 2020.

You don’t know me, so to be fair I’ll give you a bit of background. I am my children’s teacher. I educate their young minds every single day. I do so willingly and with a sense of responsibility unlike any other. I have been sexually assaulted twice in my life. When I was 14, a man stalked my every move for months and then broke in through my bedroom window at 3:00 a.m. When I was in my early twenties, I was assaulted by a different man while I was working at an apartment community. I’ve been ruthlessly bullied by a girl in high school who I later learned has legitimate mental health issues. I’ve had multiple doctors strongly urge me to abort my baby because there was less than a 1% chance of her surviving the next 28 weeks of the pregnancy. She’s 15 years old and smart as a whip. I’m a woman who cares about other women. I care.

Last night, President Trump gave the State of the Union address. You fidgeted in your seat more than my kids did in church when they were toddlers. You made smug, condescending faces and you used hand motions and little head shakes to tell “your people” when and when not to clap, when to stand, basically how to act during the entire speech.

I must tell you, Mrs. Pelosi, this is an amazing time in history for us because my girls and I are studying American government. The past semester has been rich with opportunities to watch history unfold live not just in a textbook.

You are part of a party that claims to promote diversity and individual freedoms, yet you “direct” those around you as to when to sit, stand, clap, or show emotion. Unfortunately, you seem to have a very difficult time when someone disagrees with your opinion. You are a woman in a role of leadership and you’ve looked less like a leader than the pint-sized bully at the local preschool. You, Mrs. Pelosi, are a mean girl. I’ve dealt with enough them to know. You want men/the world to respect us and treats us as equals, then don't act like a deranged woman who’s in desperate need of some alone time in the bathroom to eat her hidden stash of chocolate in front of millions of people.

You didn’t use the time honored words to introduce the president. You allowed your personal feelings to override anything that looks like what you’re paid to do. You are paid to represent the American people and to do your best while you have the position. You're not paid to have a temper tantrum upon your mini throne.

It’s OK, if you don’t feel love for the current president, but do you think that ripping up a speech that recognized and honored a baby born prematurely, a young lady receiving a big honor, a respected military man turning 100 years old, a soldier returning home, and more is the morally right thing to do? We wonder why there’s such a lack of respect for elders and authority in this country. You, ma’am, are a perfect example for the reason—you, you who are an elected “leader” of this great nation, acted like an enraged toddler whose Goldfish were taken away before you were ready. Sadly, you have repeatedly allowed the vitriol in your heart to overflow into your work.

You can rip up a copy of the president’s speech while trying to look cute and powerful to your cronies, but what worries me is that one day you’ll decide it’s time to rip up the Constitution. The 2020 election is coming up, and I pray that the people of this great land will recognize mental illness when they see it and allow you some much needed time off to get some help. Please, get some help.

Humbly, "


Opinion?

My opinion is that it is a fabricated tale
Reads phony

and yet, she described Pelosis actions quite well

This is politics in 2020 and Trump is the main culprit. He has abandoned social mores and openly mocks tradition.

To complain that he is not afforded Presidential courtesies is disingenuous

It's a two way street. When you have a president publicly demeaning his colleagues with schoolyard insults and nicknames (among other things) - it's disingenuous to then insist on respect and protocol. It takes a better person than most to over look that and remember that it's the OFFICE not the person.

I couldn't. I'm glad some can though.

It hits on all the RW propaganda talking points

The fact that the only way anyone has heard about this letter is from an anonymous email that is circulating among conservatives makes it obvious

I don't know that. And I very seriously worry that it has. That we have accepted, as acceptable new norms. And they might not be healthy for our democracy.

I distinctly remember campaigns on promises that were promptly dropped. I remember a lot of nastiness going on.in the elections prior to Trump even arriving on the scene. In fact, I distinctly remember the 2016 election and the level of BS by hired online trolls and with Sanders. Trump didn't have anything to do with that. He didn't call for the ending of the electoral college.

This is about what kind of world do you want to live in. Is it absolutely necessary to be at each others throats constantly and over one individual with a limited function in government? He's going to win again. The question is, will the Democratic Party be able to learn from their past mistakes and will the general public learn to ask/demand more from the candidates without the emotional political drama? Further, how do you get the networks to stop turning this crap into a 30 second shot at something similar to the Price is Right and to ask better questions?

Welcome to the political climate of 2020
It wasn’t created by Pelosi but she must function in it

The days of professional courtesies are over

Now we're supposed to believe Piglosi is a victim

The American people are the victims

Trump is the main culprit.

So that was all about Pelosi. How about when the republicans chanted 4 more years when he entered, and stood at the end of every sentence in the speech, up and down, up and down.

it was more like one of the rallies he spreads his lies at.

"An open letter to Mrs. Pelosi,

Mrs. Pelosi, I am speaking to you woman to woman. I don’t care about our political parties or our individual beliefs right now. I’m simply speaking to you as a woman in the year 2020.

You don’t know me, so to be fair I’ll give you a bit of background. I am my children’s teacher. I educate their young minds every single day. I do so willingly and with a sense of responsibility unlike any other. I have been sexually assaulted twice in my life. When I was 14, a man stalked my every move for months and then broke in through my bedroom window at 3:00 a.m. When I was in my early twenties, I was assaulted by a different man while I was working at an apartment community. I’ve been ruthlessly bullied by a girl in high school who I later learned has legitimate mental health issues. I’ve had multiple doctors strongly urge me to abort my baby because there was less than a 1% chance of her surviving the next 28 weeks of the pregnancy. She’s 15 years old and smart as a whip. I’m a woman who cares about other women. I care.

Last night, President Trump gave the State of the Union address. You fidgeted in your seat more than my kids did in church when they were toddlers. You made smug, condescending faces and you used hand motions and little head shakes to tell “your people” when and when not to clap, when to stand, basically how to act during the entire speech.

I must tell you, Mrs. Pelosi, this is an amazing time in history for us because my girls and I are studying American government. The past semester has been rich with opportunities to watch history unfold live not just in a textbook.

You are part of a party that claims to promote diversity and individual freedoms, yet you “direct” those around you as to when to sit, stand, clap, or show emotion. Unfortunately, you seem to have a very difficult time when someone disagrees with your opinion. You are a woman in a role of leadership and you’ve looked less like a leader than the pint-sized bully at the local preschool. You, Mrs. Pelosi, are a mean girl. I’ve dealt with enough them to know. You want men/the world to respect us and treats us as equals, then don't act like a deranged woman who’s in desperate need of some alone time in the bathroom to eat her hidden stash of chocolate in front of millions of people.

You didn’t use the time honored words to introduce the president. You allowed your personal feelings to override anything that looks like what you’re paid to do. You are paid to represent the American people and to do your best while you have the position. You're not paid to have a temper tantrum upon your mini throne.

It’s OK, if you don’t feel love for the current president, but do you think that ripping up a speech that recognized and honored a baby born prematurely, a young lady receiving a big honor, a respected military man turning 100 years old, a soldier returning home, and more is the morally right thing to do? We wonder why there’s such a lack of respect for elders and authority in this country. You, ma’am, are a perfect example for the reason—you, you who are an elected “leader” of this great nation, acted like an enraged toddler whose Goldfish were taken away before you were ready. Sadly, you have repeatedly allowed the vitriol in your heart to overflow into your work.

You can rip up a copy of the president’s speech while trying to look cute and powerful to your cronies, but what worries me is that one day you’ll decide it’s time to rip up the Constitution. The 2020 election is coming up, and I pray that the people of this great land will recognize mental illness when they see it and allow you some much needed time off to get some help. Please, get some help.

Humbly, "
