Proud to be represented by Nancy Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi
The air traffic controllers may have added a final kick to get it over the finish line, but the real credit belongs, as it always has, to Nancy Pelosi, who kept her cool for 35 days and never allowed Trump to see even a glimmer of hope for a victory.
Rob's comment:
I've rarely even mentioned Pelosi on this blog over the years, taking her for granted and assuming that San Francisco would always be represented in the House by a liberal Democrat. 

She made us proud to be represented by her the way she dealt with Trump during the shutdown.

I was also obligated to defend her: when she was attacked by the Bay Guardian left here in the city.

Some people are just blind. What Trump has done now with the reopening of the government was remove all of Nancys reasons. She is now stuck.

Pelosi is STILL considered right of center by the "true believers" of SF. They won't be happy until...dare i say...a "Matt Gonzalez" is elected speaker.

Which, fortunately, will never happen.

Trump caving to Pelosi and reopening the government so workers wouldn't miss a third payday shows how much more compassionate he is than Pelosi. He knew she is completely unreasonable and unwilling to negotiate the least bit despite Democrats previously offering to fund some fencing. It's pretty clear she wants to run the whole government.

The Most Important Body Part

One day the different parts of the body were having an argument to see which should be in charge.

The brain said “I do all the thinking so I’m the most important and I should be in charge.”

The eyes said “I see everything and let the rest of you know where we are, so I’m the most important and I should be in charge.”

The hands said “Without me we wouldn’t be able to pick anything up or move anything. So I’m the most important and I should be in charge.”

The stomach said “I turn the food we eat into energy for the rest of you. Without me, we’d starve. So I’m the most important and I should be in charge.”

The legs said “Without me we wouldn’t be able to move anywhere. So I’m the most important and I should be in charge.”

Then the rectum said “I think I should be in charge.”

All the rest of the parts said “YOU? You don’t do anything! You’re not important! You can’t be in charge.”

So the rectum closed up. After a few days, the legs were all wobbly, the stomach was all queasy, the hands were all shaky, the eyes were all watery, and the brain was all cloudy.

They all agreed that they couldn’t take any more of this and agreed to put the rectum in charge.

The moral of the story: You don’t have to be the most important to be in charge, just an asshole.

Thanks for sharing, Mark, though the audience for your revery is best limited to your therapist and your long-suffering significant other.

Trump's "compassion"? Jesus, you Trump True Believers will literally believe anything!
