To Seth Moulton and Kurt Schrader and the other Pelosi refuseniks

I’m still asking - you still SURE we needed somebody different in that job? Do you still think so? Or is it perhaps just a little bit too uncomfortable to recognize that a woman can have balls bigger than yours?

Good point. This is a MOST complicated issue.

And you’re right. Intent DOES matter.

I’m one of those who thinks there is a COLOSSAL difference between a hug or shoulder-rubbing “he touched my waist” during a quick selfie take and “grab ‘em by the pussy” because “when you’re a star, they let you do it.”

But there is the thing about changing times, changing comfort-levels and permission-levels. Millennials bring a different consciousness than baby boomers have brought, and a whole world of new thought.

Anybody who hems 'n' haws about releasing his/her tax returns

SHOULD go nowhere. And I include The Asset in that, too. He leads that list, for me.

April 5, 2019

But he never released them last time. Why should I

give him the benefit of the doubt this time? He still hasn’t earned it from last time!

Can't happen soon enough for me! Throw Barr in, too.

And Kavanaugh and Pence. And ... meh, don’t get me started...

Good Grief...

We've already seen what we get when we do ask trump.

A big fat nothingburger garnished with lies and smothered in phony excuses.

And Beto! WTF? He'll wait to see what the other candidates do?

WTF???

NO, Beto. Nobody else has anything to do with it. You wanna run for President? Then OUT with it. Cough ‘em up. EVERYTHING’S on the table. We need and deserve to see it all. Your tax returns in particular. Period. And never mind what the other candidates do. That’s for each of them to answer (preferably the right way - by releasing their own).

Btw - my husband pointed out something important regarding the excuse of “after we’ve dotted all the I’s and crosssed all the T’s”. Um - you presumably did that already, with the previous years’ returns, haven’t you? Hasn’t that part been finished a long time ago? We don’t just want to see the 2018 returns. We need to go back ten years. Or more. We NEED to know who owns our candidates or who has them on a leash or inside whose back pocket they live! Because that will tell us who that candidate will really be working for, if he or she becomes president. And whose interests will be first and foremost.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
