Boo-hoo, Amy. Our next response should be to impose some reality into your rarified air.

TERM LIMITS.
NO LIFETIME APPOINTMENTS. (Yup, that means all of YOU.)
ACCOUNTABILITY. Judicial reviews at regular intervals.
NULLIFICATION OF RECENT RULINGS, starting with your destruction of Roe v. Wade.
INDEPENDENT CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW of ALL speaking engagements and other appearances that are 1) for pay and 2) by invitation from political groups whose bias must be screened in advance. Such invitations must be provably neutral, politically.

Seems Sinema is playing for a constant spotlight.

I think she likes and craves the attention, and a greater sense of importance. Why else would she be dicking around like this, forcing the world to be stuck waiting for little ol’ HER?

Love your activism AND your resolve!

Glad you’re there, my friend, and thank God you’re on our side!

My favorite passage:

“Do not let these fucks troll you, by the way. The louder they crow about all the shitty, unpopular things they’ve done, and all the shitty, unpopular things they can barely wait to do, the quicker they build the coalition that’ll reverse their work.”

Good stuff!

No, they don't.

This doesn’t just smell, it absolutely reeks!

Yep. Agreed.

He's my "Quote of the Week".

I heard him speak yesterday during coverage of his protest, and I had to write it down.

“Boy we love war. But boy we don’t like to clean up the consequences. Always money for war, never money for the war-fighters.”

Hope it makes people THINK.

What a great post!

I bet somebody’s gonna see this and take heart, and feel supported. OR they’ll pass this good info along to someone else who does. Sometimes I feel like there’s a lot of overwhelm out there. This will help.

Thank you, KentuckyWoman!

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
