In reply to the discussion: Let's take a few moments to watch a maestro at the top of her game [View all]fleur-de-lisa
(14,654 posts)14. I love her! She seems to be taking over from Al Franken . . .
Kicking ass and taking names!
She is currently my top candidate for our presidential nominee in 2020. She is pushing all my buttons:
1. FEMALE
2. MIXED RACIAL BACKGROUND (mother is from India, father is from Jamaica)
3. SMART AS HELL
4. ASS-KICKER EXTRAORDINAIRE
5. YOUNG-ISH (she is only 53)
6. SERVED AS A DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND ATTORNEY GENERAL IN CALIFORNIA
7. HAS A REPUTATION FOR PROSECUTING HATE CRIMES AND CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS

I'm not championing any cause. I merely stated that I found someone's voice irritating.

Her voice is irritating to me. Wow...I didn't know you cared that much about my opinions.
