Oh, really?<div>RantWoman is taking a little bit of a break from relentless ministry about matters of disability and inclusion. RantWoman has acquired a serious YouTube habit, and RantWoman sees no reason why readers of this blog should be deprived of RantWoman's insights just because they get splattered all over other venues.</div><div><br /></div><div>(There are abundant videos about why US commentators are all hot about the word "bloodbath." RantWoman recalls all the Twitter trash talk early in #DonTheCon reign of error about nuclear weapons and fortunately no one got nuked. HOWEVER, RantWoman is still inclined, on top of all the lies and garbage EX PResident Gropesaurus has been spewing, to take the word seriously. Plus, the problem is not only #DonTheCon but also his Felon Choir.)</div><div><br /></div><div>Enjoy?</div><div><br /></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/5qtD5lOxsxs?si=u1kXlaBWHGEw3hg3" width="480"></iframe><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The commentariat needs to get over their Trump Inevitability syndrome and start imagining and asking about other scenarios. What can / must voters do to ensure that Trump loses? How busy will his court calendar be when he does?<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The #GOP needs to start loudly and publicly saying they WILL find another candidate. Hard to do if Trumplings have taken over the RNC, but surely lawyers and mental health professionals can find a way. This MUST come from the GOP. Can they or ordinary citizens petition Judge Chutkan? Can she revoke his release while the immunity case is pending? I assume there is no point in petitioning Judge Cannon, and I think it's too much to ask of Judge McAfee even though the scope of the cases before him would suggest it. Or should people just petition all the judges? <div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">#DonThe Con is a danger to himself and to others. He is a danger to himself because he keeps blowing through lawyers and blowing lots of defenses. He is a danger to others because of death threats and swatting. Some of the time he appears to know right from wrong, but he is incapable of assisting in his own defense. Would a mental health hold sit better with MAGA than flat out pretrial detention? Worth trying.</div></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">How many hundreds of surveillance warrants and social media monitors would be needed to quash anything that might come up?</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space-collapse: preserve;" /></div></div>RantWomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17611656459134372290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288398784875186570.post-54301056680205839082024-03-14T03:05:00.000-07:002024-03-14T03:05:10.497-07:00Another set of videos.

Britt doing her #GOP #SOTUResponse segment from her kitchen, if the kitchen looked like an actual kitchen. RantWoman means to redecorate the kitchen theme in a separate post. </div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sen. Britt is somehow trying to speak about family issues; that is important even for modern two-career families. She totally LOST IT, though, as far as real policy rather than fear mongering. And her nauseating segment overflowing with lies and misrepresentation about sex trafficking completely blew away the credibility of anything she might have been trying to say.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Another thing: right toward the end, not shown in this segment, Sen. Britt went all in on "the blood of patriots." RantWoman just about threw something at the screen, Yeah, and displaced indigenous people, and enslaved people. Like Nikki Haley, Sen. Brit tis trying WAY too hard to make all happy about historical struggles, struggles we all need to draw strength from, not just whitewash or sweep under the rug.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">And then there is Nancy Mace and George Stephanopolous.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The whole- George Stephanopolous interview is weird and cringey. <span color="var(--paper-input-container-input-color, var(--primary-text-color))" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: inherit;">Given the history of accusations against Bill Clinton, George Stephanopolous is about the LAST person RantWoman would assign to do interviews about E Jean Carroll </span><span color="var(--paper-input-container-input-color, var(--primary-text-color))" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: inherit;">Of COURSE the large legal judgment make Carroll a sexy interview topic. In general it's very nice that Carroll has the money to hire lawyers and the resources to stand up to the public onslaught she is enduring. NO one should minimize her experience but at a certain point the public immersion in her story makes one want to scream "You are NOT the only rape survivor on the planet." #DonTheCon is not going to stop defaming, denigrating, promoting further abuse of women and that is only one reason he belongs NOWHERE near any position of authorityLarge financial settlement or no, RantWoman also does not think it was appropriate for Nancy Mace to minimize Carroll's experience, but here we are.</span></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></div>EVERY supporter of #DonTheCon, not just outspoken rape survivors should be asked how they feel about the presumptive GOP nominee being a serial sex predator. That should not fall all on either Nancy Mace or E Jean Carroll.<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The timing of this interview right after Sen. Britt's #SOTUResponse to me makes a perfect storm of ways to illustrate every #GOP weakness imaginable regarding women. But stay tuned.

MANY comments focus on "tradwife" imagery and wonder why a US Senator offers a speech from a kitchen and even worse from a kitchen that looks like no one has ever cooked anything, spilled anything, or eaten anything in it. RantWoman is on the side of DO NOT devalue all the work that gets done in kitchens even if it is "traditional women's work" RantWoman took grave issue with the Hillary Clinton "well I could have stayed home and baked cookies" comment in 2008 when she and Laura Bush were exchanging chocolate chip cookie recipes There is NOTHING wrong with Senators being in the kitchen,especially when everyone knows full well that Senators are all kinds of places besides the kitchen</div><div><br /></div><div>2.

For a faith tradition founded on the equality of Women, (see Margaret Fell) and credited historically with important connections to suffrage movements, only in the 20th century was Asia credited with being "the first woman to..." for a number of different Quaker organizations. Asia spent the early part of her career working in childcare. Her family's bio reported that she at some point noted how much dealing with toddlers--and their parents--prepared her for the many different leadership and personnel roles she took on within various Quaker organizations.</p><p>[RantWoman sometimes carries around in her head thoughts such as "a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle." When RantWoman observes long-lasting marriages where deep love is obvious, though, RantWoman also firmly believes in supporting the partnership behind leaders so special Light and appreciation for Lee, Asia's husband of almost 77 years.] </p><p><br /></p><p>2. LOTS of people talked about Asia's capacity to listen. RantWoman meant particularly to note Vanessa Julye's comment about Asia's role in supporting Vanessa's early steps in the work of addressing racism within the Society of Friends. These thoughts did not make it out of RantWoman's mouth as a message in worship. They WILL be part of thoughts in another post only hinted at here.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. LOTS of people commented about how Asia asking a question helped direct them toward or away from different forms of witness: aiming for revolution vs getting married, accepting AFSC staff vote to unionize consideration that the organization had a decades-long commitment to supporting unions, engagement about diversity with out LGBT Friends.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. RantWoman admits to a little bit of frustration about mention of issues in days of yore with scant thought that some of those same issues are very much still throbbing, sometimes in new, highly mutated forms in the life of the world. One of Asia's gifts to the world is to plant seeds for helping new generations find paths among these challenging realities.</p><p><br /></p><p>5. Inclosing,possibly weird advice to young people new to Friends: GO TO MEMORIALS. Even if you barely know the deceased and are afraid of not knowing a soul from your own generation, GO TO MEMORIALS. Learn. Okay, Asia famously told someone awed by Quaker weddings "oh wait until you see the memorials."</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Techie notes.</p><p>1. RantWoman has special tirades related to memorials and visits UFM intermittently. Today aside from the bus shelter in LOVELY condition, . the visit revealed QR codes???? RantWoman loves the pblishers of Truth in whatever is the medium of the day. RantWoman is just not sure about QR codes on info sheets on a bulletin . board.RantWoman hopes the QR codes do what is intended. She also hopes the bar codes do not scare away people annoyed by bar codes or by the implication that one must be fluent in particular technologies to be a good Quaker.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Even at in-person events, RantWoman LOVES, LOVES, Loves signing into Zoom on her phone with audio disconnected in order not to interfere with room sound. RantWoman just LOVES knowing who all is on the Zoom. (RantWoman kind of means to experiment about these issues on other video conferencing platforms. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. RantWoman definitely appreciates evolution and continuing revelation about the world of movable mics and Room amplification in the world of hybrid / blended Zoom meetings. RantWoman also tartly remembers the first incarnation of a UFM committee on disabilities: there was a survey. There were minimal requests of the surveyors in Meeting for Business from anyone, alas including RantWoman. But great success was noted because of the next iteration of efforts to ensure that people, such as Asia, with hearing loss, could hear better. RantWoman has no desire to minimize these efforts.

No! NO! Barack Obama is NOT responsible for division in the US. The US has been badly divided over matters of race since LONG before #POTUS44. That ultra-cringeworthy comment is only one reason that RantWoman has NO expectation that she will ever vote for Nikki Haley in the general election.</div><div><br /></div><div>HINT to WA Voters: in WA in Presidential primaries, we can pick party affiliation AT THE TIME OF VOTING. We only get to vote one ticket but use your imagination...</div><div><br /></div><div><div>Digression: RantWoman highlights for readers' attention without comment, the practice many African American commentators have of referring to Ms. Haley by her given name which speaks very clearly to her Indian American heritage.</div><div><br /></div></div><div>Back to the #GOP primary</div><div>RantWoman has NO expectation that courts are going to free the nation from having to deal with the Mango Megalomanic at the ballot box </div><div><br /></div><div>No matter who the #GOP nominates, RantWoman forecasts TORRENTS of disinformation and dogwhistling between now and November. Brace ourselves.</div><div><br /></div><div>RantWoman calls on every state to apply whatever interpretation of the 14th Amendment Section 3 works with their process. After all there is still the #GOP convention.</div><div><br /></div><div>RantWoman definitely wants to her from EVERY state's process of deciding who does or does not belong on a ballot and who does or does not deserve delegates at the #GOP convention. That is, despite pressure, Nikki Haley should NOT drop out and permit the country's "favorite" deranged and senile sociopath to be crowned party nominee without hearing from the whole country.</div><div><br /></div><div>True confession: RantWoman considers it critical to #DumpTrump and the sooner the better. RantWoman will be happy to cheer Nikki on to stay in the race, despite all the crap coming at her from all sides. RantWoman will also be vigorously making the case that we do NOT want Trumpian policies.</div><div><br /></div><div>This should all be FUN</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>RantWomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17611656459134372290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288398784875186570.post-4964526362694082662024-02-03T02:00:00.000-08:002024-02-03T02:00:00.258-08:00Speaking of other empires: BASHKORTOSTAN | Russia's Rebel Republic?<div>#Russia #Ukraine</div><div><br /></div><div>Long ago when the Soviet Union was busy falling apart and the Cold War was lurching out the door, RantWoman remembers a call frequently to argue at least mentally with a famous professor about the importance of Russia's enormous ethnic diversity and the tangled interests of different populations within te Soviet Empire.</div><div><br /></div><div>RantWoman's views have if anything become more pointed as she has burrowed further into learning.</div><div><br /></div><div>That said, RantWoman is simply going to let this video speak for itself.</div><div><br /></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/TTW2oj2_Jqk?si=RinGWY8_BTOmu6UT" width="480"></iframe>RantWomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17611656459134372290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288398784875186570.post-3760881151774652592024-02-02T11:15:00.000-08:002024-02-02T11:15:00.136-08:00Roland Martin on Nikki Haley's Breakfast Club Interview: "This Is Nonsense!" <div>#BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistoryMonth2024 </div><div><br /></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/90aRV0Lpkb4?si=YTLzgpx5KfO2hofM" width="480"></iframe><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://youtu.be/0xg6olHDuUQ?si=EU1WPGpUXiqv2Pn6">Stephen Colbert's take on Nikki and Charlemagne Tha God</a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>One way or another this country is GOING to deal with race, racism, and dogwhistling about same.</div><div><br /></div><div>Lord have mercy on us all.</div>RantWomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17611656459134372290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288398784875186570.post-77588427180726646162024-02-01T22:55:00.000-08:002024-02-01T22:56:15.796-08:00TONE POLICING: Republican Says Cori Bush DESERVES THREATS Because She's 'LOUD' ....<div>RantWoman INTENDS to spend #BlackHistoryMonth amplifying voices and resonating with nuances.
