Chrump called Hillary a “nasty woman,” Samantha Bee and others brought it on
The massive Blue Wave of 2018 got a fraction of the press
that was heaped on the semi-psycho Tea Party mistake of 2010. The Blue Wave was much bigger than was the
Tea Party ripple, not to mention it brought tremendous diversity and binders
full of women into the House of Representatives. Many of these women came ready to rumble. Perhaps none more so than Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez.
Women do not always get the appreciation they
deserve. Only six countries currently
give women and men equal rights according to a major report from the World
Bank. That is unquestionably pathetic,
but is an increase from zero a decade ago.
The six countries are Belgium, Denmark, France, Latvia, Luxembourg and
Sweden. The United States did not make
the top 50, scoring 83.75. SAD.
Before there was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez there was
Elizabeth Warren (and of course many before her). Each of these women took Washington by storm
during the current decade. They won
their respective first elections decisively, swore their oaths to the
Constitution, took their places in Congress and refusing to act like the
freshmen they were, went right to work kicking ass and taking names – in
Ocasio-Cortez’s case she literally took names after asking Michael Cohen, “Who
else knows that the president did this?” as a follow-up to “To your knowledge,
did the president ever provide inflated assets to an insurance company?” Right wing assholes are wise to attack her
relentlessly, though it be to no avail.
They are afraid of her. And they
should be. She will be kicking their
asses for a long, long time to come.
Elizabeth Warren was re-elected in 2018. She has put up with chauvinism, snark and
childish disrespect from the highest levels.
As malignant Mitch McConnell misogynistically moaned two years ago, “She
was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.”
Warren just might persist her way to unseating Donald
Chrump and/or Mike Pence, of whom Warren recently said, “I’m sorry. I followed
Pence’s history on LGBTQ Americans, and I don’t think that is a decent
position.” Asked if she agreed with Joe
Biden calling Pence a decent guy, Warren answered, “No.”
If you’d like a refresher course on Elizabeth Warren, here
is our take from 2013…
My Queen
Elizabeth
Warrenton,
DC
July 25, 2013
I’m not usually one to gush over royalty, but I’m afraid I
just can’t help myself. Maybe it’s all this fuss about the royal baby. I hope
he’ll be able to find some strange woman lying in a pond distributing swords or
pull the sword from the stone or whatever it is they do over there to elect their
king. Anyway, I never paid much attention before, but I have watched several
videos of the Queen since the beginning of this year. She looks much younger
than I expected, but I guess it’s all that easy living and adulation keeping
her so vibrant. Every time I see her I am simply in awe of her command of
history and all the nuances of her particular milieu. Perhaps you have seen an exchange
or two she's had with some of the commoners.
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)
Okay, I feel a little silly here. Apparently, this is not in
fact the Queen or a queen or even a princess. This is
freshman senator - now the senior senator from the great state of Massachusetts
- Elizabeth Warren. She has simply taken the capitol by storm. Considering
she’s a freshman senator, she takes no prisoners, no excuses and no shit from
anyone. People worried she would just end up frustrated and cowed by all the
pathetic losers we know as the United States Senate. Truly a more worthless
governmental body has never existed. More cadaver than body if you ask me.
Mostly a bunch of white guys whose brains died years ago, but whose bodies keep
shuffling along the halls of Congress and Fux News.
God
Save The Clean
Elizabeth Warren joined the University of Pennsylvania Law
School in 1987 and became a tenured professor. She began teaching at Harvard
Law School in 1992, as a visiting professor, and took a permanent position in 1995.
Warren said of her history of voting as a Republican for many years, "I
was a Republican because I thought that those were the people who best
supported markets." In 1995 she began to vote Democratic, but she says
that she has voted for both parties because she believes that neither party
should dominate. Warren served as chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel
created to oversee the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) in 2008. She later
served as Assistant to the President and Special Advisor to the Secretary of
the Treasury for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau under President
Barack Obama. Then of course Obama threw her under the bus because it was too
much trouble to go to bat for her when it came to crunch time.
Bankers and Wall Street thieves are scared to death of
Elizabeth Warren. She knows more about what they do than they do. She’s smarter
and tougher than most of them. She took their bright shining whore star
- Scott Brown - and turned him into roadkill. She soundly defeated
Self-Loving-Scotty after serving the partial term he won in a special election
to fill the seat of Ted Kennedy - crushing him by over 7%. Brown is now a loser
talking head for right wing media with almost as broad an appeal as Sarah Palin.
The economic inequality in this country is simply
disgraceful. Dis. Grace. Ful. Elizabeth Warren gets it as much as anyone in the
Senate. And while over the entire membership of the Senate this is an
exceedingly low bar, there are a select few in that festering corpse august
body that are and always have been steadfast in their support for actual
Americans...you know, the 99%.
Elizabeth Warren is the real deal. She has long been determined
to protect We The People from the banks and corporations that ru(i)n the
government. She’s not shy and she’s not wasting any time trying to get things
done. Keep an eye on Elizabeth and help her when you can. And tell everyone you
know - they’ve got a friend in DC.
I. Mangrey and I (still) approve this message.
