Yay Nancy

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi went all badass yesterday.


She seemed a bit nervous, and on the whole, I take that as a good sign. I think it shows how serious this is, and how well she understands how serious this is.

Some will say "Well it's about fuckin' time". 

I've been kinda on the fence - wondering, along with most everyone else, what was holding her back, trying to keep in mind that we're never allowed to know everything these people get to know.

So there's always that kernel of doubt. Sometimes, that's what politicians count on to do what's right, in the right way - this joint is planted thick with process intended to help us do it right - but at the same time all that process, and the necessary element of doubt, is what makes a man like 45* so fucking dangerous.


"Can we work something out?"

That's Donald Trump living in Smarmspace. He's not going to ask straight out. He's not going to make it plain that he's offering some quid pro quo. He's not going to give orders in specific terms for people to do illegal things. He always couches his shit in soft passive unassertive language. Just like Michael Cohen explained when he testified in committee.

"Yes, Mr President - you can tell your people to obey the law."

That's Nancy Pelosi speaking softly but carrying a big stick.

I'll say it again: These women will help us save ourselves, if we can figure out how to keep our mouths shut and stay the fuck outa their way.
