Your life is now

It's time for Madame Speaker to lead

There's a sculpture of a fist in downtown Detroit, and it commemorates Detroit native and all-time great boxer Joe Louis beating Germany's Max Schmeling in their second meeting.  Louis lost their first fight on a twelfth round knockout, and Adolph Hitler and the rest of Nazi Germany used it as a boast of the superiority of the white race...until Louis decimated Schmeling in the rematch with a tremendous first round knockout, and became one of America's first African-American heroes.  It is said that the fist points toward Canada because it is a symbol of America fighting for Democracy outside its borders.

I note this because Donald Trump said this week that he would welcome a foreign adversary's help again in 2020 and would feel no obligation to report such aid to the FBI.  While Trump kinda/sorta walked his statements back later in the week, he had all the sincerity of a man dealing three card monte.  One would suppose that this would be enough for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to say enough is enough and open impeachment hearings as Trump stated he would be happy to cheat again in order to win another four years in office.  Nope--Pelosi still thinks slow and steady will win the race, except for the fact that all of her and her leadership team's political calculations will fall to rot if Trump happily cheats his way to a second term.

Seventy-five years ago America gave all it had to save Democracy for the world.  It is time for Nancy Pelosi to do the same.

History will not be kind if she does not.

Fuck Donald Trump,
