What a ridiculous gavel. Emblematic of a party that thinks the only way to power it through brute force. The part of the strong man.

Except that somewhere, a skilled wood worker was commissioned to make that, and may not have known what it was for. Imagine being that guy and seeing it used like this…

Eh. It was probably special order, and I would also be shocked if the brass around the head wasn’t engraved with something that’s fairly obviously republican-ish. Everyone involved probably knew what was going on.

It’s actually a normal sized gavel and she has a persecution complex about her height. She joined the Republican party so she could hurt others life she’s been hurt
