There is an old saying. I don't know who to attribute it to, it goes somewhat thusly: Whom the hods wish to destroy, they first make angry
I expect to see Pelosi take a sudden leave from congress before long for “personal reasons”. She is unraveling before our very eyes. She’s in bad shape.
"Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad" is quoted as a "heathen proverb" in Daniel, a Model for Young Men (1854) by William Anderson Scott (181385).
Mad in the sense of crazy.
As in: A prior Latin version is "Quos Deus vult perdere, prius dementat" (Life of Samuel Johnson, 1791) but this involves God, (presumably the Christian God) not 'the gods'.
