We are a relatively young Republic, and if we are going to make it to an old one we would do well to pull from the brightest, the strongest, the most capable. We were willing to tolerate so much less simply because he was loud, arrogant, and "manly." How did weak, foolish, and incompetent get mistaken for "manly?"

The examples you cite are way smarter and accomplished far more than a teetering "wall". He tore things down mostly, whereas they had historical achievements.

Most of those ladies risked their life to even have an idea and say it out loud......and when you figure in the like of Harriet Tubman who did not lead armies or rule kingdoms, just did the best she could under the circumstances and made history....

(22,133 posts)and others, preaching about the nonsense they're coming up w/, all while evidence is mounting up on their role in the insurrection events of 1/6/21? Every one of these traitors should be thrown out of office and Biden's dept of justice needs to lead the way. In some states, efforts are already underway to not allow some to run again since they participated in the insurrection (Green, Cawthorn).

(3,769 posts)I have so much admiration for her, doing all this in her 80's. By the time you hit 80, everything you do is a little bit harder and body parts that never bothered you before suddenly appear in your life. So, it takes extra effort to do just about everything and she does all that and so much more....bravo to you Nancy!!
