I remember when Hillary was running in the primaries, and Mika's father said voting for her was like voting for Walleye Sep 2024 #3

Both Joe and Mika were against Hillary. I am not implying they caused her to lose. There was outside interference akbacchus_BC Sep 2024 #10

I'm a feminist, when Hillary lost, I felt my whole life had been for nothing Walleye Sep 2024 #27

A technicality, but Clinton won the popular vote, lost the E College. nt allegorical oracle Sep 2024 #36

Golda Meir , Margaret Thatcher, Corazon Aquino, Angela Merkel tetedur Sep 2024 #4

I love Angela Merkel. Golda Meir not so much. Aquino was not effective. As for Thatcher, she was a despicable akbacchus_BC Sep 2024 #11

I guess my point was not that I supported or admired these women presidents or prime ministers tetedur Sep 2024 #20

We are not looking for lame leaders anymore. This is the 2ist century, Trump is dogshit. VP Harris will be a akbacchus_BC Sep 2024 #30

I guess the obvious--Golda Meir--has been lost to history? hlthe2b Sep 2024 #5

Golda Meir was mediocre. She could have made a difference to help the Palestinians get Statehood. akbacchus_BC Sep 2024 #13

YOUR topic was female heads of state--your commentary is not germaine to your original post which offered no hlthe2b Sep 2024 #33

MEka hated Clinton and loved Trump in the 16 election SocialDemocrat61 Sep 2024 #7

You hit the nail on the head, I was disgusted with both of them. They did think trump would have given them some kind akbacchus_BC Sep 2024 #14

The story I heard SocialDemocrat61 Sep 2024 #16

Her and Joe are pretty dumb. Don't know why they have a show. bullimiami Sep 2024 #9

I can say the same for most of the pundits on CNN and MSNBC. I dont look at CNN anymore. akbacchus_BC Sep 2024 #15

Im about down to Lawrence only. bullimiami Sep 2024 #19

Me too re Lawrence. Rachel is better than Wagner in my opinion. akbacchus_BC Sep 2024 #22

Far better. Give me Ali Velshi for that slot. yorkster Sep 2024 #25

Yeah, TV has to appeal to the masses to survive... Think. Again. Sep 2024 #18

I so agree with you. However, as parents we need to let our children know that TV is fallacy. Not everything you see akbacchus_BC Sep 2024 #24

Absolutely! Think. Again. Sep 2024 #29

I don't want to think that VP Harris will lose. For the sake of humanity and the world, she must win. I wish all the akbacchus_BC Sep 2024 #32

Yes, but for-profit tv isn't the only way to keep kids comfortably occupied. Think. Again. Sep 2024 #34

Did Mika say something about there not yorkster Sep 2024 #26
