Another offering from our own Perry Gaskill. I think by this time he needs no further intro, so:<\/p>\n

Those with better things to do than follow the buffoonery of politics can be excused if they miss some of the nuance in current public discourse.<\/p>\n

For example, in the wake of last week’s deal to reopen the government, it was no surprise when Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer chose, instead of honorably trying to mend fences, to give a lecture on how President Trump “learned his lesson.” And never mind that Trump got no credit for kicking the funding freeze back in gear. Consider instead that at the time Schumer was channeling his inner Mary Poppins, it also seemed remarkable that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was strangely quiet. At least until yesterday morning.<\/p>\n

In a statement from her office, Pelosi issued what amounts to an accusation that Trump is guilty of espionage and acting as an agent of a foreign power: <\/p>\n

\u201cIn the face of 37 indictments, the President\u2019s continued actions to undermine the Special Counsel investigation raise the questions: what does Putin have on the President, politically, personally or financially? Why has the Trump Administration continued to discuss pulling the U.S. out of NATO, which would be a massive victory for Putin?” Pelosi said in the statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Office Of the Speaker of the House<\/a><\/p>\n

Those with an interest in history would probably agree that the record is littered with examples of how civil wars have been started for less. Without putting too fine a point on it, what Pelosi is suggesting amounts to the nascent stage of a coup d’\u00e9tat<\/i>. You don’t accuse a head-of-state of treason unless you want to replace him in the near term– with or without going through the process of the law.<\/p>\n

Apparently on Planet Pelosi, it also doesn’t matter if Special Counsel Robert Mueller finishes his investigation to indict all those Trump associates suspected of jaywalking, overdue library books, thinking unchaste thoughts about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , or whatever. And what happens if the eventual outcome of Mueller’s work is not what it’s supposed to be according to the Progressive agenda?<\/p>\n

Some additional perspective was provided earlier this month. In a CNN interview with Alexandra Pelosi, the Speaker’s daughter commented on dear old mom that, “She’ll cut your head off before you even know you’re bleeding. That\u2019s all you need to know about her.”<\/p>\n

Think about it. Her own kid saying the Speaker isn’t a grandmotherly knitter of mittens for schoolchildren, but instead someone with the attributes of a sociopath. Or to maybe put it another way, a bitter harridan bent on the destruction of her political opponents no matter how much harm it causes the country. It can also make you wonder if the whole head-cutting thing might be a lesson from ISIS or the other way around.<\/p>\n

Consider too this evident double standard:<\/p>\n

One of the things that’s turned into a very big deal from the view of those pushing the Mueller investigation is that Trump was\u2014omigod, like, omigod!– involved in attempting to construct a building in Moscow. Strangely, whether that project was a good idea from a strictly business point of view has never been a consideration. Apparently all that matters is that anyone who conducts business with the Russians is, like, very bad. And somehow, Hillary Clinton cutting deals for uranium doesn’t count.<\/p>\n

As it happens, Nancy Pelosi married husband Paul Pelosi in 1963 just before she carpetbagged her way to San Francisco from Baltimore. Nobody is quite sure of what Paul Pelosi is now worth, apparently it’s a big secret, but it’s been estimated that, jointly, the couple is worth $100 million. Among the investments Paul Pelosi has reportedly made as a venture capitalist are those in Apple Computer. It might be remembered that Apple does most of its manufacturing at a plant in Shenzhen, China run by the Taiwanese company Foxconn.<\/p>\n

So anybody who wants to play the home version of Mueller Madness Bingo might easily assume Nancy Pelosi is in the tank with the Red Chinese. Such being, after all, what passes for the kind of\u2014omigod, like, omigod!– logic used now in the effort to topple a duly-elected president.<\/p>\n

Quid pro quo<\/i>. Given her propensity to put everyone opposed to her open-border Progressive tactics under a microscope, it would seem only fair to start turning over the rocks of Pelosi’s own private affairs, and see what crawls out. She might also want to consider that those who points the treason finger have been known to have a treason finger pointed right back at themselves. <\/p>\n

Thanks, Perry. Not a lot I’ll add to that, as if I could. But perhaps SanFranNan, to paraphrase Nietzsche, has gazed too long into the abyss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
