Janet Yellen has broken a ceiling too….

In the case of Kamala Harris, the ceiling is concrete. And she broke it.

Not just for African American, South Asian, daughters of immigrants – Also for Simply for women.

Love Kamala, but to be honest, Black Men need a boost more than Black women… most of the women are not seen as automatic threats by white society.

Kamala will be looking to break the ultimate glass ceiling, the Presidency, in 2024.

You go, girls!

Watch out, Ancilla Barrett may be waiting at the top.

Don’t you know, Kamala has got to be galling to the 10th power for Proud Boys. Just look how much hatred Barack Obama brought out in bigots all across the nation.

I think it’s time for Deplorables to find another country for themselves … some uninhabited island in the Pacific. I hear there’s a vacant garbage patch ready and waiting.

That ladder, actually, could be labelled with the names of many women who enabled Kamala Harris to reach the vice-presidency.

Wonder if we’ll see Harriet Tubman on a Twenty Dollar Bill anytime soon ? If so, the Treasury needs to send one of the first ones to Trump.

As it says on New York’s state flag: EXCELSIOR

^^ re MB$

You know folks, I had a thought about what might motivate our most persistent troll. Maybe he’s an intellectual masochist! His sad little missives, completely divorced from facts, completely devoid of connective logic, lead to blistering responses from this crowd. I can only conclude that he gets off on it. It’s a sad conclusion, but I’m at a loss for any other explanation. Thoughts?

See my limerick reply to Seamusrmcdonald about the troll MB.

Let us use some common sense. Roughly half the world’s population is female and overlooking their talents and abilities is a recipe for failure as a society or country. I am a fan of Democracy and Capitalism but they must be rationally applied or they can fail us.

Trump Uses Kids Sold Into Sex Slavery to Score Political Points

“Using human trafficking for pernicious political purposes is … a Trump administration invention.”

Nicholas Kristof, New York Times

Feb. 26, 2020

Few people on earth are so exploited as children trafficked into the sex trade. And now they are being exploited again, by President Trump.

“My administration is putting unprecedented pressure on traffickers at home and abroad,” Trump declared at a White House meeting on trafficking last month.

Yet it’s increasingly clear that this is less about protecting children and more about exalting Trump, whose administration is actually prosecuting fewer traffickers and making it harder for some trafficking survivors to get help. As a result, major anti-trafficking organizations boycotted the White House session.

“Over the last three years we have watched with horror as the administration has dismantled protections for trafficking survivors,” said Martina Vandenberg, the president of the Human Trafficking Legal Center in Washington.

Beware the jagged edges as you try to get past the glass ceiling. And the people who will be shaking the ladder from below and others who will be trying to hack it to pieces. And as you poke your head through the glass ceiling, brace yourself for repeated kicks in the face.

Nice.

RE: MTBill

We can’t have unity with people like him. You know the saying about wrestling with a pig? It’s like that raised to the nth power. We have no common ground with people like him. They’re either too invested in their lies or they are acting in bad faith.

And as always (though I don’t follow it myself often enough) DNFTT.

Watch out for the Maga’d edges girls.

Excellent artwork Mike ♥♥

(Sigh). Ol’ Mountain Billy is a troll. Start a NEW thread to talk back to him (as he so clearly deserves here). Or, possibly better yet, just snort and move on.

Yep. Though Kamala, too, started further ahead than was possible for women of color in a prior generation. I’d love to see Gorman moving that direction, if she’s interested in working in the cess pit that is politics.

MB – just piss off, you witless numbskull.

As long as they’re qualified, go for it!

IDIOT

Don’t feed the troll.

The visual effects are confusing… I had to look carefully and adjust my eyes to get the ceiling and not an external wall to roof image. Psychological perception test… Is it the old woman or the young woman? Two faces looking at each other or a Greek vase? Ladder on an exterior wall to a roof or ladder on an interior wall to the glass ceiling?
