Trump only wishes he was this popular in the entertainment world. Deplorables may adore him, but these are the people he really wishes looked up to him: rich, famous, and popular.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) The audience at Clive Davis' white-hot gala included Barbra Streisand, Joni Mitchell and Kareem Abdul Jabbar, but it was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who got the most requests to take a selfie.
Pelosi received rock star treatment Saturday night from attendees at the annual pre-Grammy event, which also featured a stunning tribute to the late Aretha Franklin, an artist Davis worked closely with for decades.
Pelosi's sarcastic handclap and smirk to President Donald Trump at his State of the Union address went viral last week and launched hundreds of memes. So when Davis announced that she was in the audience Pelosi has attended in the past she received a standing ovation, while some people even imitated her now-famous handclap.
At the top of the event and as she tried to exit, people asked to take selfies, almost creating a line as Pelosi smiled through them all.

That the Bush administration was never held accountable for the death and destruction they caused? Well not the first and certainly not the last outrage weve all learned to live with.

(28,120 posts)I was furious when she did that. Don't think that'll happen again.
However, she's handled AdolfTwitler like a heavy weight boxer, pushing him over with one finger. She's EXACTLY what we've needed.
And I don't understand why Bush, Cheney, et.al. seem to be forgiven. At least Cheney* and Rumsfeld are staying hidden. That whole fuckin party has to go; since the '60s it's been built on nothing but corruption and deception.
*Did you know that Cheney retired from Helliburton with a $36M severance package, NOT including his stock options. And in the run-up to the Iraq War, Helliburton got a $7BILLION a single-bid contract, not including more sub-contracts.
Then there were the mishandlings of the Katrina disaster and Deep Horizon disaster which, btw, Helliburton plead to destroying evidence!!! Minor fine resulted.
Can you imagine if Dem-owned corporations had done that?!
Our elected Dems are finally finding their spines since our very democracy is at stake and there's a treasonous moron in the Oval Office.

(9,120 posts)... Nancy Pelosi was cut to in the audience. I figured she was demonstrating her support for those who she received contributions from. And probably find raising on the spot. The woman is a dynamo. It's on YouTube.
