1. K&R!

2. Sheila Jackson Lee has long been a favorite of mine, she's not just wise, but extremely articulate

I wish that Bill Maher would have her on again this week, the timing would be perfect.

4. She has an unusual ability to be passionate while also calming.

I feel very drawn to her.

5. I feel the same way, she projects confidence so I'm hoping others listen to her wise words

6. The GOP is the party of voter suppression

Due to changing demographic trends, the GOP can not win with only white voters and so has to cheat

[Rhiannon12866]

7. The thing is, they've cheated for decades

I've been listening to Mary Trump's new book (I have it on audio, listen to it in my car) and I was reminded of something that it took 50 years to become public. Richard Nixon cheated in 1968 - he was negotiating with the Vietnamese to wait for a Nixon presidency to negotiate a peace deal. Meanwhile, thousands more soldiers on both sides continued to die.
