Resurrection?

For reasons of visual relateability, RantWoman has not even requested permission to post an image called Resurrection in Lavender and gold that was part of the prompt for this week's Witness Wednesday. Funny enough, the words that came with the image are part of what held RantWoman. Also funny enough, RantWoman WILL get to a reason to post video clips about Liz Cheney and the Republican party.


“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

— Georgia O’Keeffe (1887 – 1986) American modernist artist, known as much for her independent spirit and female role model as for her dramatic and innovative works of art

(For the record: when RantWoman herself needs to say things with color and shape, what tends to come out is "RantWoman is bad at both subtlety and minute detail." Sometimes that is what is needed.) 


Query: Where is Resurrection needed in my life?  My community? Our country?  Our world?


Other Quotes:

Resurrection can be messy business

Richard Rohr: Stay with the suffering until the resurrection comes.


A chat exchange

The true measure of a patriot, To leave behind undemocratic ways.

Yeah. And Republicans could start by supporting the Voting Rights act and fighting voter suppression



What RantWoman posted in chat while silent in shared space:

WY is on my mind today. My dad grew up there. We have travelled there to see my grandfather, a Presbyterian minister.


WY is important if we want to move away from the fossil fuel economy. WY is also beautiful and living there, even in the cities there is really different from bigger cities.


Liz Cheney talks about being a conservative Republican in favor of small government, low taxes, and a strong defense.


I am not sure how small government squares with all the states going nuts with abortion bans. 


We probably have different ideas of what a strong defense means but I am glad we agree that strong defense does not include destroying presidential records, playing fast and loose with classified documents, dissing gold star families...


I listen carefully when Liz speaks. I don't know whether her witness can get the Republicn party past its bad boyfriend situation with The Former Guy to some kind of renewal and I admire her guts in trying to talk about it.


Now time for the videos because they say a lot of the different things on RantWoman's mind.

Trevor Noah on Liz Cheney


from MSNBC


All in with Chris Hayes: Saving democracy by saving the GOP?


Trae Crowder This Ain't your papaw's 'publican party


Somewhat embarrassingly, like is one allowed both to laugh and to cringe at the same video. 

Gutfeld on freaking Faux Snooze


And on the other hand, "1 out of 4 Republicans in a very red state voted for someone actively trying to put TFG in jail."

Beau of the Fifth Column
