The reason that women have trouble succeeding in the Democrat presidential primaries is really quite simple. The party consistently presents the case that women are victims, and need rescuing from powerful people. You can not hold power, and need rescuing at the same time.
That confusing messaging actually holds women back. I’ve always believed that the first woman president would be a Republican because of this. For most in the GOP, competence and steadiness outstrip victimhood. While Trump is an outlier(both his campaigns are against problematic
Candidates) I believe that a Nikki Haley or Condelezza Rice would sweep the GOP primaries. I could be wrong.

But honestly, I’d put money on this. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I want to gently observe a few things about the drama that has overwhelmed the twitter community I run in for the last week. Five little bodies lay barely cold next to the trash bin and people have been brawling all over the driveway. So many have been hurt in the fallout.
So I want to address a few things. This kind of environment is a particularly addicting place. We are freed from ourselves in a way that no other place can. Gone are the obvious challenges and worries, looks and health, and economics responsibilities of our daily lives.
Here we are a reflection of what we want to be. Beautiful, witty, exciting, smart, the list goes on. We get to portray ourselves exactly the way we want others to see us. Surprisingly also unmasks our greatest frailties. I am not an exception to this and neither are you.

For four years, we have used the word elite to mean establishment. In function they are the same. But for the establishment the words are not. Therefore, we need to alter the message in a way they can hear it. This election is between two anti establishment candidates.
Nothing says establishment more clearly than totally giving up your principles, no matter how “deeply held”,’ and jumping the aisle to support a nice person with completely different policies.
This is a clear betrayal of the citizenry by the establishment. It’s pitched as bipartisanship. But let’s break that down for a minute. Citizens do not want bipartisanship at OUR expense. We want it in the search for solutions. But over my lifetime that has become corruption.

Today, the Supreme Court considers Louisiana's admitting privileges law, a nearly identical law to the one SCOTUS struck down as unconstitutional in 2016. If this law is upheld, Roe v. Wade will be gutted.

What’s a constitutional right if you can’t exercise it?#MyRightMyDecision
This case is not an isolated attack. It's another effort by national anti-abortion groups to chip away at abortion rights and exert control over women and their bodies. As the Supreme Court already found in 2016, these laws don't make abortion safer, they just shut down clinics.
If this law stands, there would only be one clinic in all of Louisiana. So much is on the line, but it's really quite simple: the Supreme Court must follow precedent and strike down the law.

For everyone, abortion must be #MyRightMyDecision

What Will Democrats Lie About Next? - Stu Cvrk

Thread: 2020 Campaign: Democrat Identity Politics “Über Alles”

1. The Democrat Party consists of a loose collection of victims groups who practice identity politics to achieve their ends, ….
1A. … all of whom are controlled and played off one another by a top tier of oligarchs aligned with key Democrat crime families: Clintons, Obamas, the California Five Families, the Bidens, and others.
2. And behind the scenes are the monied interests who provide the mother’s milk – money – and in-kind support necessary for their political campaigns: Silicon Valley, Wall Street, Hollywood, media conglomerates, and assorted leftwing billionaires like George Soros.

A lot of moderate, blue-collar Democrat voters are feeling really queasy about their party after last night's embarrassing spectacle. It might help to think about a famous man who was once in the same position as you: Ronald Reagan.
Reagan beautifully articulated what it was like to see his longtime political party moving away from him and turning into something he could no longer support. "I didn't leave the Democrat Party. The party left me," he memorably explained.
Politicians talk about "principles" all the time, but the truth is that parties shift around principles like iron filings jittering around strong magnets. Parties get dragged away from principles by influential extremists, as with the Democrats in Reagan's day, and today.

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (25 – 31 August)

1. Time for another dose of the real news that the legacy media continually sweep under the rug because it doesn’t fit their “Republican bad, Democrats good” narrative.
2. Speaking of the legacy media, let’s start off with a look at all the former Obama regime CIA and FBI officials now working at CNN and MSNBC:

<quote>
2A. CNN added to its deep roster of former FBI and CIA officials-turned-analysts Friday with the hiring of Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director fired for lack of candor during an investigation last year.

FYI Google makes it hard to find the truth. Why is that?

Here you go:

13th amendment that abolished #slavery. 100% #Republicans voted for it, 77% of #Democrats voted AGAINST it.
@abstractheory @4DreamLife @Empire_Gal @ida_skibenes @VP 2)
14th amendment gave citizenship to all blacks. 94% Republicans voted for it & every Democrat voted AGAINST it.
@abstractheory @4DreamLife @Empire_Gal @ida_skibenes @VP 3)
15th amendment grants blacks the right to vote. 100% Republican voted for it. Every Democrat voted AGAINST it.
