Mitch's worst nightmare ...



...now she is your boss AND the tie breaking vote in the Senate.

Remember when:

GOP chairman cuts off Kamala Harris during Senate hearing for doing the same thing as her male counterparts

Harris being shut down only highlights the glaring inequality that still exists between men and women in the Senate and in the larger workforce. Recall how women resonated, at least a little bit, with Elizabeth Warren after Mitch McConnell silenced her? What woman doesn't completely understand how Kamala Harris felt after being told to stop talking not once, but twice?

When will these boys learn not to mess with women?

That’s what white people say. “Black people call themselves N.”

I personally find it most offensive.
That’s just one opinion of many.

the word bitch is a lot like the N word. I don't ever want to hear a man call me one. But I am not surprised to hear it in women's humor. It is our way of laughing at what we know men are thinking whenever we assert ourselves, or outshine them.

And we KNOW they are thinking that word.

HOWEVER, many of us have decided to own it as an acronym. Here are a few.

BITCH: Beautiful, Intelligent, Tough, Creative, Honest - I will definitely own that.

BITCH: Babe In Total Control of Herself - I aspire to that.

BITCH: Boys I'm Taking Charge Here - Yes, Kamala - you go gurl!

However she is head and stilettos over him and he hates that. Two women now rank higher than him.

some of the comments in the 'Salon' link? O! M! G!!!!!!!

I'm thinking that there may be a vision problem here in America - way too many fools that can't see the truth in front of them!

Yes, we DID win 2020 and have made a powerful and significant statement, but WOW, do we have our work cut out for us.

THANK GOD we have J&K in place as well as what is shaping up to be a marvelous Cabinet. We'll need it!

condemning the insurrection and violence. They have been strong and outspoken.
The QOP males are learning some hard lessons.
