Pelosi: 'I tore up a MANIFESTO OF MISTRUTH' Nancy Pelsoi is obviously NOT SORRY one bit for what she did in tearing up the SOTU paperwork. She called it a MANIFESTO. That word can have a POSITIVE meaning, but it is usually in the news when some NUT does something crazy, and writes about what he plans on doing beforehand. I am so sick of Pelosi.  I really hope somebody can do something to get her fired or thrown in jail. She has absolutely no class or professionalism whatsoever. If most people with jobs behaved like her they would be long gone. Can you imagine a CEO of a business having a staff meeting and top supervisors are given the CEO's plans on paper and then one of the top supervisors just gets up after the meeting and tears it up? How long would that person have a job? Why do ordinary people have to live by higher standards or get punished, and people like Pelosi don't? "Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) described President Trump's State of the Union address as a "manifesto of mistruth" at her weekly press briefing Thursday morning. Pelosi was asked if she thought that she stepped on her own message to her fellow House Democrats to take the high road when she ripped up a paper copy of Trump's annual address right after his 80-minute speech ended. "I did not. I tore up a manifesto of mistruth," Pelosi responded. Pelosi added that she didn't need lessons in dignity, "especially from the president of the United States." At the beginning of Tuesday's State of the Union address, Trump left Pelosi's arm hanging as he appeared to snub giving her a handshake. Pelosi on Thursday said that had nothing to do with her decision to rip up his speech at the end of the address." https://thehill.com/homenews/house/481829-pelosi-i-tore-up-a-manifesto-of-mistruth Definition of MANIFESTO Manifesto Has Latin Roots Noun Manifesto is related to manifest, which occurs in English as a noun, verb, and adjective. Of these, the adjective, which means "readily perceived by the senses" or "easily recognized," is oldest, dating to the 14th century. Both manifest and manifesto derive ultimately from the Latin noun manus ("hand") and -festus, a combining form that is related to the Latin adjective infestus, meaning "hostile." Something that is manifest is easy to perceive or recognize, and a manifesto is a statement in which someone makes his or her intentions or views easy for people to ascertain. Perhaps the most famous statement of this sort is the Communist Manifesto, written in 1848 by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels to outline the platform of the Communist League.
