Gee, Nancy Pelosi looked so happy last night, to not have the Orange Monster standing in front of her delivering an imbecilic SOTU. Even Marjorie Taylor Greene's and Lauren Boebert's bad behavior couldn't wipe the smile from her face — and there was no reason for her to rip up her copy of the speech afterward. Best of all: She had another smart, strong woman sitting next to her for the first time in American history.
With all the Republicans in the House chamber sporting Ukrainian colors, we couldn't help thinking about their cowed loyalty to Benedict Donald. Things have only gotten worse since they handed out little Russian flags with "Trump" on them at 2017's CPAC.
All their enthusiasm last night for the plucky Ukrainians, though, might not be able to mask anxiety the GOP could be feeling about their Russian ties. Since DOJ has launched a new task force to enforce the West's sanctions — and to particularly focus on the egregious oligarchs who do Vlad the Invader's bidding — betcha they'll uncover lots of money trails to Republican coffers. In fact, some have already been found.
So Nancy was smiling for a lot of reasons. Remember, she's the one who stood up in the Cabinet room in October 2019 and questioned Trump's loyalty to the United States to his fat orange face. She took a lot of heat from the GOP for that, but it's helpful to remember that she did it because Trump had pulled American troops out of northern Syria, giving Putin free rein there. (Easy to forget, since it happened pre-pandemic, a hundred lifetimes ago.) Now, she knows that Vlad's miscalculations will ensnare Benedict Donald, too. We cats PURR.
