GOP allies are being exposed for literally running underage sex trafficking rings and making sweetheart deals with pedophiles.

Feinstein explained the boring realities of legislation to a bunch of kids in a way some people find condescending.

Clearly, Dems are the problem.

You guys learned nothing from 2016.

Absolutely nothing.

The GOP arrested people with chronic illness and disabilities for protesting and trying to speak to them at their offices about healthcare.

And...do I need to review Kavanaugh for you?

Remember when a woman had to literally throw herself into an elevator to be listened to by a fuckwit who was going to carry water for a sexual predator anyway?

Nah. That was like...so yesterday. Today I’m mad a woman Dem didn’t show enough respect to the kids that were ignoring her calm explanation of why she couldn’t give them a blanket yes to their demands.

And I can understand and deal with the initial reaction responses. Twitter fools a lot of us that way.

But so many people who SHOULD KNOW BETTER are doubling down and rationalizing because they’re too proud to admit they fell for it.

That’s a luxury we don’t have going into 2020.

The kids are not the problem. Feinstein interacting with them is not the problem.

The problems are who set this up, who is exploiting it now, and who fell for it.

And, frankly I think those of you who see Feinstein as condescending in this interaction probably need to examine your instincts regarding sensitivity to people in authority roles and the gender expectations you place on strong women.
