I don't know about anyone else, but it was great seeing the squad today...

Speak with grace

Speak the truth

Speak fearlessly

Speak rationally

Speak like they were not members of the Russian Mafia

Of course, plenty of Democrats can and do speak in this manner, but today's press conference had me applauding my TV. Some may disagree with me, but these women were inspiring, and probably reminded a lot of people why they voted for them in the mid-terms.

They should not be disparaged by Democrats...they should be cherished. They have a crucial role in defeating the orange lump in 2020.

If it were me, I'd have hired the Rude Pundit to write the speech. But then, I don't have anything like the kind of class The Squad does. The unbelievable delivery they gave was incredible. They told the truth and did it in a way that was above criticism or reproach.

No wonder the orange asshole's bowels empty into his Depends™ undergarment whenever he sees them.

Loved AOC's comment about Trump telling her to "go back to where she came from" and her taking it to mean go back and fix up 'her beloved borough' and 'that's what she was going in DC'!!

These women are our future!

Congress were hammering home their points. There I was alone in the room, clapping and cheering.

That was inspiring. Those women have GUTS. And the truth is on their side.
