29. That is the problem isn't it?

We really don't have a clue what is actually going on. We're like mushrooms, we get kept in the dark and fed sh*t. I don't care how much time you spend, and I spent way too much just ask my long suffering wife, trying to understand what the f*ck is going on, you still don't have much information.

Here's what I'm sure of:

1. Pelosi loathes Donnie O. I mean she absolutely finds him repulsive and dangerous.
2. She's knows she's at the end of her time in government and would like to go out remembered in a positive way
3. She's not just a career politician, her parents raised her to serve in government. She knows what pressure to bring to bear, who to put that pressure on, and just how much is appropriate
4. She is one smart cookie

Here's what I think:

The instance the opportunity arised to nail this sucker she is going to be going for the jugular provided that doing so doesn't end up harming the country more than Donnie O already has.

Keep in mind, there are about 220,000,000 people of adult age in the US. If 30 to 40% of them are still supporting the orange disaster that means there are between 66,000,000 88,000,000 "adults" that can be riled up and to a dangerous pitch if they perceive the take down of Drumpf as a partisan act.

This has got to be done properly or we could find ourselves in a state of open rebellion, which would play right into Donnie's hands. I for one am very grateful that the actual adults are handling this situation.

We are living in terribly precarious times.
