......I've got to just stop for a minute in wonderment. Whenever some RWNJ lunatic from a deep red state insults my sensibilities, my first response is to just write off the state as completely worthless. I try to remind myself that there are good people everywhere and we've got to try to have their backs.

This is the 50th installment in the list of Republican sexual predators, abusers, and enablers who contribute to rape culture. These are people who abused their power or defended the abuse of power. These are not folks caught in consensual scandals such as being gay, having an affair, being polyamorous, inviting multiple sex partners into their marriage, or soliciting adult sex workers, unless they are trafficked against their will. They may be hypocrites, but they are not predators.

I was just watching an old Lakefront Bargain Hunt Renovation from Alabama. At the end the family was playing football. I thought of Tuberville. This gal has taken away that negative feeling that was overwhelming me.

Thank you, whoever you are.

I feel that some of them ---Alito, Amy, Bong-boy, Marsha and others, believe the shit they say. While others are spouting it because it gets them elected.

There are 2 main possibilities, as I see it:

A. She really believes all of the garbage she said.
B. She doesn't believe that garbage but was willing to go on national television and say all of it anyway.

Okay, I decided: I think B is worse, because that would mean she's a huge hypocrite, and I HATE hypocrisy.

A bit of both is also possible; i.e., she believed some of it but was willing to go on TV and say all of it. That's no better than B, afaic.

I like that she countered the common "themes" of the right with solid logic and facts - no nastiness.

She should be a featured Dem talking points speaker.

Someone find this woman and get her to run against the handmaid. I'm wondering if she is a navy veteran. I like how in the beginning she said they both know some of the same people and how Britt knows she was lying when she said some of those things.

her reaction to Senator Britt's rebuttal could've been stated any better.

That was definitely standing ovation material.

And I agree with the rest in that she needs to run for office.

After reading the comments here, I'm going to try to respond to men whose presentations I appreciate with "well spoken," "articulate," and "said well."
For others, I'll try to stick to commenting on the thoughts, rather than the training.

and not the only smart response given! Another Alabama woman also did a kick ass, impressive reply to Katie, and it can be seen here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218764509.

These strong, smart women's voices need to be amplified!

She’s on TikTok. She was raised evangelical and left it behind several years ago.
Covering SA in the church is what she started on and has just gotten better and better.
Also she has talked about running for a local office and I hope she does.
