That’s great. I didn’t watch the SOTU. I saw a moment where Pelosi stood and applauded something the Donald said. Do you know what he said?

Lets all come together in unity and not do something silly like investigate me.
paraphrasing.

I don’t need a paraphrase of the entire speech, just the part where Nancy actually stood and clapped. I’m certain it was an ironic applause.

For real, it was something like “why all the fighting, lets come together.”

Just before Pelosi joined a standing ovation for the president, 72, he said: “We must reject the politics of revenge, resistance and retribution and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise and the common good.”
“It wasn’t sarcastic,” Speaker Pelosi told reporters Wednesday, pointing to the language that brought her to her feet — and Trump’s own history of inflammatory rhetoric and personal attacks on his opponents.
“Look at what I was applauding,” Pelosi said. “I wanted him to know that it was very welcomed.”
Of course there is very little evidence that Trump has any intention of cooperation and compromise. Taken with his speech, it’s clear that he meant “stop investigating me, and do what I want you to do”.

Yeah, no, it was sarcastic. And the POTUS stood there and basked in the applause which somehow couldn’t quite drown out the hypocrisy.
Thanks.

Yes, Hammerhead is correct. I love the artist’s use of color and light in this cartoon, as well as the facial expressions.

She *says* it wasn’t sarcastic, but come on, this is too perfect.
