Just a quick bit of corruption…

UPDATE: It was pointed out that this was posted on Twitter yesterday and that it’s a proposal only, not a done deal. My issue with it was, and still is, that this is the official White House Twitter feed promoting a Trump business. Seems corrupt to me. Happy to remove the diary if it’s misleading, did change the title to (hopefully) be more accurate.

I’ve seen this ad pop up in my FB feed a few times, but just noticed the bit at the bottom about “Support the legal fund today”.

Things that make you go hmmmm….

Hi all, I am doing a little FB thing. Each day I plan to change my profile pic and cover photo to an historic woman. Since it’s only March 5, that’s not a lot of women so far, but I am interested in recommendations?

So far… (I know my Eurocentric whiteness is showing, but that’s who I am, and why I’m asking to learn more):

Florence Nightingale (I’m a nurse, and I have 2 more nurses in mind)

JK Rowling (IDK why, just because)

Rosa Parks (easy)

Christa McAuliffe (inspiring, and I have a few more women astronauts in mind)

Kay Cottee (first woman to sail solo, non-stop around the world. My husband is a sailor and today is his BD)

I want to represent many professions, countries, ethnicities, etc. Any era.

Suggestions welcome!

Thinking on our speakers at the convention next week….(wish list, no limits, in no particular order, and I am sure I am leaving people out...because we have so many good and great people, the greatest people).

Now, I am a middle aged white woman, so I KNOW I am missing a whole shit-ton of opportunities. Please feel free to admonish or embellish! It’s just fun.

Bernie Sanders, Barak Obama, Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, Joe Biden, Tim Kaine, Elizabeth Warren, Al Franken, Michelle Obama, Gavin Newsom, BLM mothers, Tammy Duckworth, Oprah Winfrey(!), George Clooney, America Ferrera (who was fucking amazeballs on Maher last night!), Cecile Richards, LeBron James, John McEnroe, Madonna(!), Elon Musk, Mindy Kaling, Shohreh Aghdashloo (The Expanse, amazing), Neil DeGrasse Tyson(!),Bill Nye (!) etc…

I need more names! I’m filtered through my own experience, but our country is made of a gazillion experiences...and that is what makes America great.

I’m a nurse, and it's a great career with an amazing amount of opportunity...You can go anywhere, you can do anything, you can make a shit ton of money. Seriously...I am going to write a true diary about my nursing career, but for now...Nursing School!

Senator Sanders must speak at the Democratic Convention. In prime time.

I sometimes see and read that Bernie Sanders shouldn’t be allowed to speak at the convention, or should be relegated to a 1, 2, 3 am time slot.

In my opinion, this is ridiculous. Of course he should be “allowed” to speak at the convention. He’s a major force, he has millions of people who voted for him in the Democratic primary, his core convictions are core democratic and progressive convictions, and we all share them, whether or not we agree on the approach or the person saying them out loud.

Do not misunderstand me, I think Bernie Sanders is wrong in how he is wrapping this up. I hate that he won’t congratulate Hillary Clinton, I hate that he still acts as though somehow this was all rigged, I hate that he still feels the need to paint the Democratic party as corrupt. Actually, I personally can’t stand him……..but

He should be given a major time slot at the convention. Let him talk, hell make him talk.

Update I guess: How does blocking Bernie Sanders from speaking at the convention help anyone? I'm my opinion he’s a jerk, but I prefer to let him prove it himself. So, don’t allow Bernie Sanders to speak at the convention. That looks good? Allow him to speak and say whatever he does...who cares? Make him a martyr (which no doubt he would love) or make him be on record for all the world to see, good or bad.

Is there a place for atheists (as a political force)?

I do not love guns, I do not like guns, I would never have one in my house despite the fact that I am a victim of a home invasion rape many years ago.

I do not get it. Guns kill people. Fact. Guns do not make toast, they do not clean up cat puke, they do not erect refugee shelters, they do not make movies.

Guns kind of really suck, all they are meant to do are kill and hurt and maim. Tell me again why this is a useful and noble purpose?

What can we do? I’m so discouraged. I guess my point of my rant is that I just don’t even understand what the attraction is. Guns are nasty.

I believe that Senator Sanders will concede

I just think he will concede, and concede gracefully. And I guess we will all wait and see.

No matter what, he’s not going to be our nominee; I don’t think anyone thinks that in all seriousness.

I hope for the best.

How will Bernie earn my vote?

Just asking. Apparently it is entirely on the nominee to “earn” votes. If Senator Sanders prevails in getting the Super Delegates to make him the Democratic nominee, how is he planning to convince Hillary’s supporters to vote for him?

Seriously, because I don’t care for him….

Just asking, because I wonder. Convince me.
