    I thought about it for a while before making a somewhat ribald statement and decided that there are times when the hard, never to be misunderstood facts must be said.
    Sometimes the social whitewash that is used to tint a subject has to be removed to bring about a full view of one’s convictions.
    Like the DEI people, Joy didn’t specify that a female must be qualified to hold the position of “ruler” but merely be a woman.

    The example I gave was rather brusk but it was to the point. Kamala wasn’t put on the ticket because she was the better candidate for VP but rather because of her sex and as a second and third, her skin color and her ethnic background.
    She’s like a trophy wife and to nearly quote Neil Borg, if the only reason you marry a woman is for her looks and not her brain, sometime or other you’re going to want to have a conversation with her and not be able to.

    In the same arena we have Carter who was voted in primarily because of his religion as was JFK but JFK was also young and good looking.
    The gals on the View said they would vote for Gavin Newson because he’s “hot”.
    Swarzennegger looked great on stage in a thong and made some decent movies.

    So there you have it. Vote for a guy because of his hair and or muscles, religion or skin color or a woman simply because she has the necessary equipment to be called a woman.
    Nothing more is needed when all a person is looking for in government is that a person fits the diversity bill.

    So far as the new President of Mexico goes, if she’s on board with border security and getting rid of all the cartels, I’m glad she made it.
    If she’s already part of the problem in Mexico, we’ll just have to sit back and watch.

    When I heard the news it all seemed obvious. Not a "token" but a "figurehead" much like Biden but with extra pander sauce.

    It's hard to comprehend the size of the chip on the shoulders of many women. They seem to actively resent themselves and project every failing in society onto everybody else. Bloody Hillary sure couldn't be labeled any stripe of peacenik.

    If only we could get past some of this BS to a world where more women can honestly participate since we seem hellbent on making them a flavor of men. Right now though it all screams decadence to me, placing the planet at risk of the next Dark Ages.

    If they remade Idiocracy today they should have a President Elaine Karen WhiteRussian ComeAtYou, a former pole dancer turned toxic feminist once her boobs sagged too far.

    Ok, I'm still cranky today. Sorry. Maybe.

    I really could not care less whether this new president (or any president) is a man or a woman. Being competent to do the job is more important, and also being someone who wants to help the country.
    It is still very puzzling that a totally Catholic country would overwhelmingly vote for a Jewish president, and not even a Mexican one, at that. It makes me think that something is very wrong with this picture, so I am waiting to see what comes of it; but not because she is a woman.

    She may not be hispanic (not sure about her parents' ethnicity), but she is "Mexican." She was born in Mexico City in 1962.

    She made the news mostly because she was the first female Mexican president making her an oddity of sorts, and too much is probably being made of it. The first of most things makes the news.

    Scranton PA elected their first female mayor and she is from Oregon and just followed her husband to Scranton for a job move. In her case, there has historically been so much corruption in that town that voters must have shied away from local candidates. Voters vote for many reasons.

    I guess I'm just getting burned out. This is one more "rainbow flag" being shoved up my nose, and one even more easily sold to great masses of dupes willing to march beneath it.
