“Trump brags about grabbing pussies.”

He seems to forget that women also have claws.

“…We are so used to being told to wait our turn,
to sacrifice for others,
to give until it hurts.
It’s far past time we said we aren’t going to give any harder
–we aren’t going to look the other way and give up our basic dignity
to enable a rise to power from a grotesque misogynist like Trump.

X

And men—Trump’s base, at least among whites
–shouldn’t be so willing to sacrifice women’s basic humanity
for a political victory…”

Bill Maher took aim at Trump’s supporters on Friday.

The Real Time host blasted the GOP nominee’s followers
for being taken in by his rhetoric that America needs drastic change
— when, in fact, the statistics show it doesn’t.

“Donald Trump doesn’t really have solutions,

and his supporters don’t really have problems,”

the comedian said.

“The only thing poor about them is their judgment.”

THE VIDEO IS A TESTAMENT OF  TRUMP’S  REAL CHARACTER.

X

IF TRUMP IS ELECTED AS Y/OUR PRESIDENT
aka  AN ACKNOWLEDGED SEXUAL PREDATOR,
HE WOULD SIT AT THE WORLD TABLE
WITH LEADERS OF NATIONS SUCH AS
UK’S MAY, GER’S MERKEL, ETC.,
REPRESENTING + NEGOTIATING
FOR Y/OUR AMERICA’S FUTURE.  

 

TRUMP IS NOT AMERICA.

PERIOD.

I am  NOW working on the CLINTON/OMAHA campaign.

RED STATE = NEBRASKA.

X

I was called THE CLOSER in OBAMA’S campaign.
I was assigned the UNDECIDEDS + RECRUITER for volunteers.
OBAMA was my choice b4 he announced his candidacy:
INTEGRITY + COMMUNITY ORGANIZER thus a collaborator.
Plus, I loved that he and Michelle  found each other + chose each other…
THE DYNAMIC DUO: HERO + HEROINE.
REAL  A/LIVE MARVEL CHARACTERS/LIVES
I will miss them terribly.

X

X

X

The Clinton campaign reached out to me after HC received the nomination.
The alternative was unacceptable.
I am doing my civic obligation for the future of y/our America.
TIME to start calling OMAHA!

X

As I call OMAHA voters,
my dear, cherished, astute + brilliant friend from Canada has been texting me
with poignant comments/observations:

X

“What I think as a woman on this issue– you’re either for us or against us.
ANY Republican who doesn’t withdraw support from Trump is AGAINST us.”

X

“Morally bereft. Imagine what Ronald Reagan would say?
The man LOVED his wife. He was a gentleman.
Or Ford?”

X

“ISIS hates women. and so does Trump.”

X

“Trump INSULTS all families !”

X

X

X

X

X

X

I am learning that  White Northern European Republican
women are breaking rank and voting for Clinton.
They cannot and will not tell their families or neighbors: FEAR?
Can this be STOCKHOLM SYNDROME?
Does White Male Privilege mindset/practice bind, shackle
and oppress their girl children/women in FEAR?
Cut/ saw off their souls and wings?  Afraid to BE?
I do NOT hear that fear in BLACK LIVES MATTER households!
I will not judge nor generalize-  it is simply information that discloses.
We all know what occurs when the walls of denial are broken down and broken through.

 

Traumatic.

X

The dynamics of relationships:
Does your intimate relationships call OUT the better of y/our angels?
Are you celebrated for WHO you are?
Can YOU tell the truth and be your truth?
Bodies don’t lie- they KNOW.
Our lives are relational – creating music in the moment, presence.
Are your significant relationships steeped in telling the truth;
respect; honor; welcoming your r/evolution; mutually reciprocal;
a testament of loving as a VERB?

X

Options of awakenings:
go back into blindness because fear is greater than truth/ faith/discovery
OR
move toward/forward the light with courage, compassion and uncertainty.

Of her upbringing:

“When I was three and my brother was five, my mother and father decided to disagree

and then they decided to go further to separate and even divorce.

They really didn’t want either me or my brother, so they more or less abandoned us.

My father’s mother said, ‘Send them to me,’ ” said Angelou.

“My grandma taught me and my brother, ‘When you learn, teach.

When you get, give.’

She said that’s all you need to know.”

Of life:

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues.

Without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.

Without courage, you can have the intention,

and life can slam you against the wall,

and your intention slides off you quicker

than a stripper will lose his G-string.

True business.”

Maya Angelou talks about the poem she wrote for President Clinton's inauguration, from her office in Winston-Salem, N.C., in September 1996.

X

X

X

X

X

1. “Courage is the most important of all the virtues,

because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.

You can practice any virtue erratically,

but nothing consistently without courage.”

X

2. “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

X

3. “I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands;

you need to be able to throw something back.”

X

4. “In all my work, I try to say – ‘You may be given a load of sour lemons,

why not try to make a dozen lemon meringue pies?’

X

5. “History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived,

but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.”

X

6. “We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.”

X

7. “No sun outlasts its sunset but will rise again and bring the dawn.”

X

X

8. “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said,

people will forget what you did,

but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

X

X

9. “I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.”

X

10. “Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size.

But when I start to tell them, they think I’m telling lies.

I say: It’s in the reach of my arms.

The span of my hips.

The stride of my step.

The curl of my lips.

I’m a woman.

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman, That’s me.”

X

11. “You may encounter many defeats,

but you must not be defeated.

In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats,

so you can know who you are,

what you can rise from,

how you can still come out of it.”
