    the way it’s usually been in the good ol’ U S of A regarding female candidates:

    Female Presidents | List of Current Women Who Are Heads of State (ranker.com)

    While women rulers have led great empires as hereditary monarchs since ancient times, the first appointed female head of state didn’t take office until 1960, when Sirivamo Bandaranaike of Sri Lanka became the world’s first female elected Premier, serving as head of the government. In 1974, Isabel Peron was secretly sworn in as President of Argentina following the death of her husband, Argentinian strongman Juan Peron, becoming the first woman in history to hold the top position of power.
    Since then, it’s become more and more common for women to be elected as the leaders of their nations. Many of the most powerful countries on earth, including Germany, India, Brazil, South Korea, Israel, Chile, and the United Kingdom have elected or appointed women as their heads of state. These women presidents and prime ministers have had command of nuclear weapons, powerful economies, vast populations, and – most importantly – the respect of their people.

    Mexico’s Supreme Court decriminalized abortion in federal health facilities.
    • What to know: Over 70% of women in Mexico will have access to legal abortion, including everyone who uses the federal health system, following yesterday’s ruling.
    • Historic change: The growing access to abortion comes as Mexico stands to elect its first female president next year. Two women won their primary elections yesterday.

  9. As soon as women understand what Nikki us all about, and that she’s a self-hater (misogynist and denier of racism), as well as all of her other inhumane (Republican) stances on policies, they will NOT support her.  

  10. If the last election has taught us anything… it’s that polls can be pretty meaningless… especially this early.  But I do recognize it’s all anyone has to go on.
     
    I’m not counting on seeing a woman president in my lifetime.

  12. Fact: Nikki Haley is unelectable.  Someone is or somebodies are inflating her.   She’ll leak out like a bicycle tire left in a shed for a year.

  13. I always recoil from the “electing women is the answer” type memes and so forth, because for every Hillary, Anne Richards, or Ruth Bader Ginsburg, there’s a Sarah Palin, Marsha Blackburn, or Amy Corny Barrett to balance them out……I would dearly love seeing more Democratic ladies elected to office, but the message is not to elect more women—-the message is elect more women Democrats.   Women as a whole seem to be a lot like men as a whole and comparisons, like generalizations, are odious.  

    I found an extra penny.
    3 cents—today only.

  14. Except for the generalization that the gop are fomenting armed rebellion.  

    Shit. Now I gotta go look up “fomenting”.

    First world problems.

    The struggle is real.

  15. Haha.  Everybody goes around pretending someday the penny’s gonna make a comeback. 

    Here’s your penny:
    ONE DOLLAR BILL

  16. Me: That there’s COPPER, boy….someday it’s gonna be worth a lot of money.  

    Kid: Ok, Boomer.

  20. Quite the feud going on this week between and Coulter and Trump.

    Donald J. Trump

    Ann Coulter, the washed up political “pundit” who predicted my win in 2016, then went unbearably crazy with her demands and wanting to be a part of everything, to the consternation of all, has gone hostile and angry with every bit of her very “nervous” energy. Like many others, I just didn’t want her around – She wasn’t worth the trouble!

    “Now, for Senator Tuberville to turn around and try to attack the military, as somehow it’s OK to leave these places blank, I want to remind him, he voted for every one of these people in committee,” Warren said. “If he had a problem with it, he had an opportunity to raise it.” – Senator Warren

    “Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) said Wednesday that poetry is proof the Navy needs to root out “wokeness.” (Watch the video below.)
    “We’ve got people doing poems on aircraft carriers over the loudspeaker,” he said to Laura Ingraham on Fox News Wednesday.

    He is a disingenuous prig.

  23. This Tuberville………a box-head from Alabama who thinks playing with a ball qualifies you to interfere in global affairs.  

  28. “Women as a whole seem to be a lot like men as a whole and comparisons, like generalizations, are odious. “

    sturge, generally speaking you’re right and the same sentiment applies to odious generalizations (if i may generalize here) about all southerners or all old people or all politicians or all government workers or all etc etc  –

    howsumever, current GOPer cultists ARE odious generally speaking or not.

    I don't always make generalizations but when i do, it's about ...

     

     

  29. the hill:

    Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis(D) penned a scathing letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan(R-Ohio) after he asked her to turn over all documents related to her prosecution of former President Trump and 18 others on charges related to election interference.
    The nine-page letter at turns accuses Jordan of “offend[ing]” Constitutional principals with “your attempt to interfere with and obstruction this office’s prosecution,” suggests he buy a book on racketeering prosecution at the price offered for non-attorneys and casts her response as voluntary as “settled constitutional law clearly permits me to ignore your unjustified and illegal intrusion.”
    “Your attempt to invoke congressional authority to intrude upon and interfere with an active criminal case in Georgia is flagrantly at odds with the Constitution,” Willis wrote in a letter first reported by the Atlanta Journal–Constitution and also obtained by The Hill.
    “There is absolutely no support for Congress purporting to second guess or somehow supervise an ongoing Georgia criminal investigation and prosecution. That violation of Georgia’s sovereignty is offensive and will not stand.”
    At another point she suggested Jordan’s letter was a “bull[ying] by members of Congress” and suggested he push to investigate threats against her.
    Willis’s letter is a response to an August letter from Jordan sent just hours before Trump was set to report to a Fulton County jail.
    Jordan, who has sent similar letters to each of the prosecutorial entities investigating Trump, asked Willis to turn over all records related to her work and also asked if she had communicated with special counsel Jack Smith.
    In another portion of the letter, Willis tells Jordan he must “deal with some basic realities.”
    “A Special Purpose Grand Jury made up of everyday citizens investigated for 10 months and made recommendations to me. A further reality is that a grand jury of completely different Fulton County citizens found probable cause against the defendants named in the indictment for RICO violations and various other felonies,” she wrote, using an abbreviation for the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations statute. 
    “Here is another reality you must face: Those who wish to avoid felony charges in Fulton County, Georgia — including violations of Georgia RICO law — should not commit felonies in Fulton County, Georgia. In this jurisdiction, every person is subject to the same laws and the same process.”
    Willis also takes a series of shots at Jordan’s knowledge of the law, at one point breaking down the “basic obligations” of a prosecutor and at another turn writing to provide the Judiciary chairman a “brief tutorial” on RICO law. 
    “Your letter makes clear that you lack a basic understanding of the law, its practice, and the ethical obligations of attorneys generally and prosecutors specifically,” she wrote.
    After suggesting Jordan was “misinformed” about the details included in her indictment, she pointed him to other resources.
    “For a more thorough understanding of Georgia’s RICO statute, its application and similar laws in other states, I encourage you to read ‘RICO State-by-State.’ As a non-member of the bar, you can purchase a copy for two hundred forty-nine dollars [$249].” 
    Willis also pushed back on questions from Jordan into the timing of her investigation, noting she was slowed by resistance to subpoena compliance by current and former members of Congress, and called claims that her prosecution of Trump was politically motivated could not be further from the truth.
    Willis capped her correspondence with a suggestion that Jordan should investigate threats to her office 
    “As it seems you have a personal interest in the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office, you should consider directing the USDOJ to investigate the racist threats that have come to my staff and me because of this investigation,” she said, attaching examples of 10 such incidents.
    “I am providing these examples to give you a window into what has happened to my staff and me as I keep the promise of my oath to the United States and Georgia Constitutions and do not allow myself to be bullied by members of Congress, local elected officials, or other who believe lady justice should not be blind and that America has different laws for different citizens.”

    “Willis accuses Jordan of ‘illegal intrusion’ into Georgia Trump prosecution in scathing letter”

    “The nine-page letter at turns accuses Jordan of “offend[ing]” Constitutional principals with “your attempt to interfere with and obstruction this office’s prosecution,” suggests he buy a book on racketeering prosecution at the price offered for non-attorneys and casts her response as voluntary as “settled constitutional law clearly permits me to ignore your unjustified and illegal intrusion.”

    “Your letter makes clear that you lack a basic understanding of the law, its practice, and the ethical obligations of attorneys generally and prosecutors specifically,” she wrote.”

    “Jordan, who has sent similar letters to each of the prosecutorial entities investigating Trump, asked Willis to turn over all records related to her work and also asked if she had communicated with special counsel Jack Smith.”

    Could Willis charge Gym with something if he doesn’t cease and desist?

  31. I would like to associate myself with the remarks Sturg made about Nikki Haley  –def a follower not a leader.
    She is creepy.
     
     

  36. All Americans have a very simple choice…Support our Democratic Republic or support Trump…There is no other choice…

    “…there’s one clear reason behind the shift: Florida’s new immigration law, which Gov. Ron DeSantis has championed.”

    “…more than half of the nonprofit organization’s roughly 2,000 members said they would not travel to Florida to help with hurricane recovery efforts because of the law.”

    “Normally, Soni says Resilience Force workers wouldn’t think twice before heading to a disaster zone.”

    “The group is made up largely of immigrants, many of whom are undocumented, Soni says. And much like migrant workers who follow harvest seasons and travel from farm to farm, they crisscross the US to help clean up and rebuild when disaster strikes. Soni says many of them see the skills they’ve honed over years of responding to major storms as a calling, in addition to a means of supporting their families.”

  42. Ms Nikki, to quote that great statesman, “That woman’s as cold as a nudist on an iceberg”.  She is counting on curves nothing else.  The magat cult would never elect a woman.  That is one that has been sexed at birth, carefully tracked (maybe an ear tag or tattoo somewhere), not allowed to hear the words of LGBTQ people so no changing including clothes.  They learned with Caribu Barbie that lookers are not leaders.  Sure the local yocals did vote for her to run their state, but that is not running against all the people who are not like them.  Yup, “This is going to cause more confusion than a mouse in a burlesque show”

  46. I watched the interview of Kamala when she was asked about the possibility of her becoming president.  It was the first time ever that she did not cackle.  What’s up with that, and who do you think told her to quit with the cackle; it is not presidential?

    Republicans are praying that she gets on the ticket when Joe drops out.
