An eight hour speech on the House Floor from Nancy Pelosi. Eight hours! Well! I wish I held the House coffee franchise; I'd be on my way to Myrtle Beach. I thought that manner of presumptuous chattiness was the province of totalitarian tinhorns like Fidel or Kim Jong Un (in Kim's case of course with frequent timeouts for tasty treats, ehhh, for him only that is). Yes, an 8 hour presentation was delivered during our Constitutional Convention but that was a somewhat different setting. Absent today's media, oratory had a greater role in persuasion then and the participants in that gathering, many of them having recently faced the King's hangman, had arguably more moral authority than the definitive limousine liberal, Nancy herself . This ,folks, is the person the Dems imposed and would again esconce, two steps away from the Presidency; just imagine!
Her touching paean to racial comity in her groovy San Francisco environ rivaled Hillary's "Plantation" speech for patronizing smarminess. And she was serious too. The view from the limousine is all she knows.
Reports that she characterized the benefits taxpayers will derive from the new tax law as "crumbs" are patently false. Rather, she regards taxpayers themselves as crumbs. There is a kind of spacy logic to her reasoning in this: if you pay taxes you must have assets; if you have assets you are by definition simply privileged and well, you aren't Nancy's run of just folks. Barack Obama's father once wrote that it is right that government confiscate 100% of private income, regardless of how it was obtained ( its not earned or deserved of course)and that it be redistributed by benevolent rulers according to "just" principles appreciated only by them. Now that's Nancy's kind of "tax reform", providing of course there is no lien on her holdings. Just so; its par for the course for leftist leaders to demand draconian sacrifice from the "masses" while they enjoy.
You are going to have to do better, in your exile, than Charles and Nancy for leadership, Dems. Luckily Presidential candidacy is at hand; after all its been more than a year since the tragic end of the last marathon. Now the really serious prospective saviors from the Trumpian nightmare will begin to bustle. Why just yesterday we were introduced to the possibility of an Eric Holder crusade, '"fuh crine out loud". Who's next? Babs Streisand? Anthony Weiner? Oh but he's otherwise occupied just now.
Please forward any objections to my obnoxious sarcasm to my role models Samantha Bee and Rachel Maddow, with apologies to Ann Coulter, who I really do treasure. 'Cause if Samantha and Rachel ain't after backing off a notch or two, well I ain't agonna either. Jack

I can't wait to see the leftist free-for-all in '20, my friend! I hope they get an early start to embarrassing themselves and ruin '18 for the Dems too...
This is a test to see if this arbitrary contraption will allow me to post.
Dr. Waddy: OK, I'll try once again to do that which I have done 1001 times without interference until today: Ditto to your comments. The Dems have invited Nemesis upon themselves in the form of their very selves. But there is no Greek tragedy in this; they are arrogantly and terribly mistaken in their intentions and after the 20th century they ought to know better. I think they do know better, actually, and they would welcome incipient murderous totalitarianism. Let them stew in their own juices, to our relief. I visited Woodstock NY about 15 years ago and though that was not where the boomer self congratulatory mess took place, it was a bemusing, smoky trip back to 1969. Such places will always be available to Dems in their coming marginalization and there they can pontificate for aye while doing no harm.
