Good one. Sad, but true.

Holy Cow that's a GREAT slogan!

Dayum, LongtimeAZDem! Did you come up with that?

I’m in awe!

That's why OUR voices need to be heard, too!

Get thee to thy local Indivisible group in the new year! They urge meeting with your reps, where you’re literally in their faces and that have to take note of your priorities (your “asks”) and pass your message on up their food chain. That is, if it’s a staffer and not the representative him/herself. Doesn’t matter. Do it ANYWAY. and then immediately plan out the next meeting in the next month. And on.

DO it.

YES. It's utterly nauseating.

Like this graphic!

And I LOVE our Once-and-Future Speaker of the House!

And when he delivers his snake of the union speech there she’ll be, sitting above and behind. A looming figure lurking uncomfortably close - because she’ll be in almost EVERY shot of that podium.

I personally will enjoy that vision as a partial payback for the deliberate lurking he did to Hillary during that one debate. Lurking. Menacing. Attempted intimidation. An attempt to distract the viewer. He probably knows from television that the eye will instinctively wander toward the movement in the picture.

There’ll she’ll be. Nancy Pelosi will be that potentially menacing figure looming behind him, bringing possible danger. Payback, you bastard! Eat it. Those photos that night will get all kinds of extra play, as the pundits will carry on about the metaphor in that setting.

During the State of the Union speech, what you see on display is the line of succession. President, Vice President, AND Speaker of the House. The Big Three in the worst-case scenario leadership composite. SHE’S next in line after Pence. SHE’S a full-in member of that monolithically exclusive club. The three top-tier leaders.

Get ready for commentary noting how “there’s Nancy” and what that symbolizes.

Or hey, Sarah's job is open in the new year, I hear.

He could be the new Huckabee Sanders 2.0! Sean Huckabee. Same syllable count, same first letter of last name.

I would still call him That-Guy-Whose-Name-Rhymes-With-Vanity, though. I like NOT using his name. Because I know his type of guy wants his name out there on everyone’s lips, as well as in lights on every marquee. It’s the best way to insult him and deny him the attention he craves so desperately.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
