re: Jarvanka's estimation of their future plans:

they were apparently already considering campaign slogans and potential running mates and the extremely important question of whether or not Ivanka would enter the Capitol for her inauguration perched on a daybed carried by a quartet of shirtless men, Cleopatra-style


I was thinking that's how Kamala should enter the Senate chamber for votes. (Oil on the muscles of the shirtless men optional.)

Joe Biden. I know, it has as much chance of happening as Kamala flying to her place within the Capitol with the Washington Monument tied to her.

But it would be one of the greatest moments in all human history.

Thank you, Elizabeth Warren, for breaking the glass ceiling Moscow Mitch had erected between himself and "nasty (and powerful) women," and opening the door for Kamala Harris to walk through the door and deliver Mitch a much-needed kick in the ass.

move over incompetent and entitled do-nothing people, make way for those who can walk the walk, and not just talk the talk?

Competence is so much more valuable, irrespective of gender. Of course, making gender part of the victory is sweet too.

at all unusual, a day when it is just business as usual for a woman or man of any religion or lack of it, or of any race, ethnicity, or combination of them, or any gender identity, to hold any office and carry out the duties as something so commonplace that it's not considered remarkable.

Since I'm getting on in years, I might not see it myself, but I believe that it will be quite normal in the future. About damned time, too.

I know she won't, but I'd fall over laughing if she were to assume a different role for each stroll past Moscow Mitch to break a tie -- a tennis outfit while swinging a racquet; a Southern Belle, complete with hoops and parasol; combat boots and fatigues; golf club, porkpie hat and checkered socks, etc. Make 'em wonder what in the hell is this woman interrupting to cast this vote!

She could have them foaming at the mouth and screaming, "Sanctions! Censure! Preposterous!"

So much winning!

Makes you want to go out in the street, dance around, shout nonsense like 'The War is Over! We Won!', and kiss or hug the first stranger you see.

- just dress warm and wear that mask, is all I ask of you.

stand up, raise her finger in the air and bring it down like a guided missile and then pause, look over at Mitch, give him a big grin and push the button, In your face Mitch.

"Getting the vapors" means you are upset by bad news, which was obviously not your intention. You are rejoicing at this thought, not fainting in dread.

Stilleto pumps, that is...she can do everything a man can in a skirt & high heels, and stand up to any man, esp'ly the GOP.

Love her sexy pumps!!
