I saw this cartoon on Friday and knew I had to share it to open up the week. I’m sure you’ve seen it if you have been anywhere on the internet this weekend. Nancy Pelosi sure showed Trump how it’s done. Trump, his administration and the GOP in general sure underestimated Speaker Pelosi at every turn. It was at their peril that they did not recognize her experience and political acumen.
And it looks like she will not be letting up!
You think Jared Kushner may be a bad advisor?
And the shutdown did not help Trump or the GOP. Here’s a poll:
I like seeing those low numbers…. they should be lower still. I’ve always thought his numbers were artificially high based on how these polling companies were sampling the population. I believe his real support is down around 30%. But that’s just my humble opinion.
The other big news of last week: Roger Stone was indicted. It was so nice waking up to that news alert on Friday morning. The arrest had already taken place by the time I woke up since I’m in the central time zone. Stone has been involved in shady deals and dirty tricks since before the Nixon administration so it’s about time. It’s sweet karma that in this video you can hear people chanting “lock him up” during his statement, almost drowning him out at times. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving individual!
Finally we have had another terrible shooting in a line of terrible shootings. The latest in Louisiana.
Another angry, armed white American citizen. This is the crime we really need to be concerned about the most, instead of the largely made up “national emergency at the border” crap spewed by this administration daily. In 2018 the majority of mass shootings (of which there was at least one a month!) were committed by a male American citizen. And as you go through the previous years, the majority of the gun violence was again at the hands of American citizens. No wall will protect us from that.
OK, time to chat for this Monday. I will be in the midst of a snowstorm here in north Iowa (8-12 inches expected) along with sub zero temps through Thursday, the worst on Wednesday as the air temp will be -21! Needless to say I will be in a bad mood and suffering severely from cabin fever by Friday!
