Sledgehammered

My mother, who lived to be a little older than Nancy Pelosi is today, and who was tiny and ethnic and stubborn and opinionated all her life, would have been so tickled to see that the first politician to humble Trump is cut out of the same cloth that she was.“You have to be respectful of the office that he holds," Pelosi says dryly. "Perhaps even more respectful of the office he holds than he is.” And, “You always start with a feather, until you get to the sledgehammer.”If you just look at the words Trump read off the teleprompter yesterday (before he got to the duct tape stuff), you'd think the federal workers had gone on strike to support him and that with their help, he had brought Congress to its knees. But if you looked at his face, you could see that he was broken.It was a good look.
