Jill Biden, our next First Lady, giving a personal and emotional speech at the DNC, recalling the personal losses that her husband experienced in 1972, when his wife and daughter were killed in a car crash, and in 2015, when their son Beau died of brain cancer:
"How do you make a broken family whole? The same way you make a nation whole," she said. "With love and understanding—and with small acts of kindness. With bravery. With unwavering faith. You show up for each other, in big ways and small ones, again and again. It's what so many of you are doing right now for your loved ones, for complete strangers, for your communities. There are those that want to tell us that our country is hopelessly divided, that our differences are irreconcilable. But that's not what I've seen over these past few months. The burdens we carried are heavy. And we need someone with strong shoulders. I know that if we entrust this nation to Joe, he will do for your family what he did for ours: Bring us together and make us whole. Carry us forward in our time of need. Keep the promise of America for all of us."
I am so tired of a president who treats people the way he does, who lies the instant his lips part, who despises women who speak up, who has erased the LGBTQ+ community from the White House, who put kids in cages, called Mexicans murderers and Muslims terrorists.
It’s time to end this nightmare and I hope, the day after the election, every single effing newspaper in this country bears the headline:
America to Donald _____: You’re fired!
Let’s do this.

Listen to these women, America!

ReplyDeleteThe Dems have a line-up of strong women, against whom the Repugnants can only offer Ivapid and her second stepmother, Melanie, who (between you and me) looks like the evil Russian spymaster in every bad spy movie (can't wait to hear her purloined speech). Then of course there's Barbie Kayleigh (what kind of name is that?) and Kelly Anne wotsit; a line up of wannabes and has-beens who should go back from whence they came!
I can't think of one woman who did a bad job at the convention. I enjoyed even hearing Duckworth and Stacy Abrams. And if the Great Ass comes out and says anything nasty about Brayden Harrington, I will personally go down to DC and beat the living shit out of his fat flabby ass...and then kick him in the backside.
ReplyDeleteFollow that intelligent, well spoken, caring and heart felt work... you republican's shits. You just know Melania has to be shaking...
PS Melanie + la Rosa Krebs de nos jours
ReplyDelete@Helen- your right. That will be one "rode hard and put away wet" looking line up. People might wonder why the waitress from the 3am shift at the Jacksonville, FL Waffle House are there.
ReplyDeleteA touching and beautiful tribute you have done for these ladies. What well spoken powerhouses. I won't watch the Republican convention, but half tempted just to see the pain. I see not much talent they could have, do you?
ReplyDeleteI see the Mistress is on fire again.
Oh. My. Gay. God.
ReplyDeleteThe were absolutely fantastic. All outstanding, but Hillary, Jill and Michelle were brilliant.
And Tammy Duckworth eviscerated Cheeto last night.
I’m waiting for Tulsi and Diamond and Silk to spew their vitriol in the Repug convention.

Great words, every single one of them.
ReplyDeleteEvery one of these women should have some role in the future government. I was in tears with pride.
ReplyDeleteWE ARE WOMEN, HEAR US ROAR, WITH NUMBERS TOO BIG TO IGNORE!
ReplyDeleteps - hillary, can you please get a gay guy to do your hair/makeup?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, Bob. The women have spoken.
Let's all pay attention, please, and remember in November.
Let me add as another woman: His ass is grass.
Bob, Thanks for putting all of this together in one blog post to read. Their speeches were inspiring. PS: Your blog is great!

ReplyDeleteIt's long past time we started listening to women!
@TDM
Women rule ...or they should!
@Linda
Me, too!
@Helen
It says a lot about the GOP, their lack of strong women. I mean, Fox News trotted out Sarah Palin! Talk about useless.
@MM
Right you are, on all points, and I'm up to help in that much needed ass whupping!
@Agnes
Thanks. I won't watch the GOP mess, because it looks like a bunch of racists and gun nuts and has-been actors and singers on the bill.
@Six
Tulsi is, once again, whining about not being included. She needs to take a seat.
@Dave
True.
@Jimmy
Wouldn't that be a great thing!
@AM
Right on, sister!
@Sheila
Yours is also a voice that should not be ignored! Thanks for all you do!
@Michael
Thanks, and thanks!
It is such a relief to hear truth spoken and falsehoods being called what they are, LIES. Some true greats telling it like it is.
ReplyDelete@Mitch
ReplyDeleteLeave it to women!
Inspiring week.
