Too Many Men Spoil The Broth

Why Does America Hate Women?

March 6, 2020

Elizabeth Warren has been on our radar at Paying Attention for quite some time (see below).  Warren exploded onto the 2020 campaign scene like nobody’s business.  A Republican until 1996, she has spent every moment since fighting for the working class and for women, among others.  After a surprisingly tepid performance in the early primaries, Warren has decided to suspend her presidential campaign.  Apparently, it finally dawned on voters across the country that Warren was not her first name, and that she was in fact – a WOMAN.  Obviously, this remains problematic at the highest levels of American politics.  Yes, Hillary Clinton outdid Chrump by three million votes, just not in the right places.  Elizabeth Warren had none of the baggage of Clinton, is imminently qualified, yet could not sustain any traction.  Perhaps she was too philosophically close to Bernie Sanders to find a niche, though Warren made it clear early on that she in not a socialist, but a capitalist – albeit one who prefers tilting the field back in favor of real people, not corporations. 

If nothing else, Warren made billionaire Mike Bloomberg, who entered the election with the express purpose of making sure neither Warren or Bernie Sanders would get the nomination, slither away before he knew what hit him.  Bloomberg may have achieved his goal, but not before Elizabeth Warren exposed him as a misogynist and figuratively kicked him in the nuts until he crumpled like a super-gulp cup in heavy traffic.

Everyone here at Paying Attention is quite depressed to see Elizabeth Warren out of the race.  The smart (so-to-speak) money is now on Joe Biden, who seems mentally frail and has been anything but a champion of the working class, despite all his claims to the contrary.  During Biden’s time in the Senate, I was fond of referring to him as the senator from Citibank.  Biden championed the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA), which despite its Orwellian name, was a kick to the privates of the middle-class.  During the hearings on this terrible piece of shit legislation, then-Harvard Law School bankruptcy professor Elizabeth Warren was called to testify.

Now Elizabeth Warren is out of the race and people like you and me will likely be forced to swallow our pride, our common sense and our hopes and dreams of anything decent coming to America, and pin our dwindling hopes to end the Chrumpian nightmare on Joe Biden – another well-to-do, white male who thinks corporations are people and people are a means to an end.

At least we can still look forward to Warren making mince meat out of bankers, lobbyists and Wall Street whores when they are dragged kicking and screaming to testify before the Senate.  Take a trip down memory lane with a previous ode to Elizabeth Warren.

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.

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. Please watch the video (linked above) and sign the petition. And tell everyone you know - they’ve got a friend in DC.

I. Mangrey and I approve this message.
