Nancy Pelosi Is Not One Bit Sorry

for tearing up what she calls "The State of His Mind Address."  He shredded the truth and the Constitution, and she decided to shred his lies in return:



The only true thing Trump said in his speech was at the very end, when he said, quoting a Frank Sinatra song, "The best is yet to come."  The action in question:

Along those lines, Trump's "victory" speech was one of the most unhinged spectacles ever displayed. Yet the GOP in attendance egged him on and applauded.

As Always, Nancy Pelosi Gets the Last Word

Trump snubs Pelosi when she reaches her hand out for him to shake it:

But later on, Pelosi lets the world know what she thinks of the Orange One's speech:

More about the event.

More Proposition 8

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is very disappointed Proposition 8 passed, and she felt she had to defend Mayor Gavin Newsom from deserved criticism over his actions which contributed mightily to its passage.

While there are court challenges to this, I don't think there is much the opponents of 8 can do about it. Proposition 8 is part of the California constitution, and it would seem to me, thinking about the Volstead Act which began prohibition, the only way a constitutional amendment can be overruled is by another amendment. The courts can't do anything about it; they are not in the business of repealing constitutional amendments. That's what happened with the Volstead Act (the 18th Amendment); it was repealed by another constitutional amendment (the 21st Amendment). I don't know if Prop 8 could be challenged at the USSC level, but unfortunately, the USSC wouldn't touch the issue with a ten-mile pole.

Supporters of same-sex marriage in California are shit out of luck, I'm afraid, without having their own initiative repealing it put to a vote. And there's no chance whatsoever of it passing at this time.

Democratic Convention I

The New York Times takes the opportunity to shit all over the Clintons--again.

Instead of the Kennedys passing the torch to the Clintons, they are passing it to the Obamas, who in turn will be burned by that torch.

Here is another article about Kennedy passing the torch, even though the Olympic games are over with.

James Carville, meanwhile, claims the convention has no message, no overriding theme.

Yes it does. It's called, "Yes We Can."

The WSWS doesn't think much of the proceedings, noting the convention is awash with corporate cash.

Clinton supporters certainly can't look to Nancy Pelosi for sympathy.

Harriet Christian

wrote a post here about her feelings towards Nancy Pelosi. They aren't exactly positive.

Campaign Stupidity.

Nancy Pelosi has decided, along with the bigwigs in the Democratic Party, to try and throw the November elections in hopes of winning in 2012.

Why else the desperation to get Hillary Clinton out of the race?

Nevada Politics.

Did State Senator Dina Titus get talked into running for Jon Porter's congressional seat because of fears Porter might challenge Harry Reid for the Senate in 2010?

I Can't

seem to go a day without a posting yet another high-blood pressure moment from Keith Obamamann, who continues to have a burr up his ass regarding Hillary Clinton:
