#1 Nancy is no more above the law than she has repeatedly claimed Trump is.

#2 OTOH__ a Trunk tore up a copy of the impeachment articles after the vote to acquit. Is he also on the hook?

#3 Being that the House Committee on Ethics is run by Dems, what are the chances anything will come of these charges?

#4 I suppose these charges by Gaetz would put the House Dems on record as supporting ethics violations.

#5 The left has made plenty of hay using such minutiae to kludge things up for their enemies for generations; I'm fine with the right starting to do the same.

The whole "Let's be practical/above that sort of thing/not die on that hill" mentality has been an abject failure.

Time for different tactics and strategies.

#8 Where did Cruella DeBotox get the idea of ripping up a speech as a way of demonstrating hostility, contempt etc?

We understand gestures like a raspberry, thumbing one's nose, spitballs. Or the European cocked arm f-u gesture. Or the British two-finger reference to the medieval crossbow-finger amputee taunt. And I get the (biblical) idea of rending one's robes. Or the Arab gesture of throwing one's shoes.

But who the fook in his or her right mind & above the age of seven would think of ripping up a sheet of paper?

Who does that?
Where did she get the idea of using a preschooler's gesture?

Conclusion: she's losing her mind. She's barking mad.
