Congratulations Jasmine Crockett.

[sheshe2]

I’m just outdone! Thank you to VP @KamalaHarris
& Gov @Tim_Walz for allowing me to be apart of this Historic Campaign!

Now, let’s GO WIN!

[julmur]

1. Milwaukee Irish

Beautiful woman & such a strong voice for our country and democracy

[sheshe2]

2. Yes she is, julmur.

Welcome to DU.

[BlueKota]

3. She is fantastic

[sheshe2]

5. Hell, yes!💙

She sure left Comer and MTG speechless.

“I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading,” Greene told Crockett during the late-night Oversight Committee hearing.

Later in the hearing, Crockett asked what she described as a hypothetical question about what might violate congressional protocol.

“I’m just curious, just to better understand your ruling,” Crockett said, referring to a decision made by Chair James Comer (R-Ky.).

“If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blonde bad built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?” Crockett said, in a veiled barb aimed at Greene.

32. I remember the stunned (more so than normal for him) look on Confused Comer's face.

He couldn't process the words. She may as well have been reciting Shakespeare to a hog.

4. Congratulations Jasmine, now encourage them to rally in DFW!

I’d certainly be there if at all possible.

Speakers, Jasmine, Colin Allred, Trey Hunt, among many more.

And of course the main attraction Gov. Tim Walz and VP Kamala Harris!

[sheshe2]

6. Sounds like a great idea.

Go Texas.

[Lonestarblue]

40. That would be totally awesome!

[MontanaMama]

7. Lightening in a bottle this one is.

She takes my breath away. She’s incredible.

[3catwoman3]

13. She's so good at thinking on her feet. I wish I were.

BTW - how's the college kiddo doing, and how are you doing with him being away?

[MontanaMama]

29. Oh my gosh!

Aren’t you the most thoughtful person to even remember!

Very long story short. We moved the boy to CO and moved him home the same week. This particular aviation school offers an accelerated commercial flight program which was the attraction…but once we were there and faced with the reality of it, and the fact that the school doesn’t have student support systems in place like a traditional college…such as a cafeteria, advisors and mental health service. The kiddo was in an apartment with 3 roommates that were all much older. Owen said he didn’t think he could manage the stress level plus doing all his own cooking, shopping, laundry and 6 days a week of instruction. It was clear to us in that moment that he may not thrive in that environment. So, he’s home…working at a local aviation company and he will begin his instruments rating program at an aviation school in Bozeman (3 hours east of here) and live with his cousin next week. He’s close to home, with family and I am so much more comfortable with this decision.

I can’t tell you how touched I am that you asked.

31. My husband's grandson is a student in the Univ of North Dakota's...

...aviation program, and seems pretty happy with it. He's just starting his sophomore year. They have a variety of specialties/tracks. The only disadvantage is that his flight hours sometimes have to be re-scheduled because of the often crappy weather in lovely North Dakota. I expect the same might well be true in Montana.

You have spoken so eloquently about your son, and what a fine young man you think he is, that it's easy to remember that whenever I see a post from you, regardless of the topic.

3 hours away sounds much better than all the way in Colorado. And kudos to Owen for realizing he was not comfortable with things, and not trying to be macho and tough it out.

My husband is an Air Force Academy grad, and flew for the AF for 20+ years, then United Airlines for 15 until mandatory retirement age of 60, then 2 years for Net Jets, so I've been around pilots for a long time. When Owen starts seriously dating, tell him he needs to look for a partner who is not a clinging vine, as pilots are often away from home. If you are involved with one, you need to be OK being on your own a lot. I was OK with it.

[MontanaMama]

45. This is all good information.

I just now passed along your advice on to Owen about not dating a clinging vine. It would be my guess that he wouldn’t choose someone like that anyway…he’s always been a bit of a loner and very driven.

I’m going to look up the aviation program at the University of ND. I didn’t realized they had a flight school. Is this a bachelors degree too that he is pursuing? It’s good to know what opportunities are in neighboring states. ND is almost as far away as CO however. I’m quite relieved that the kiddo will only be three hours away.

[3catwoman3]

46. It is a baccalaureate program...

…and the grandson is in the commercial aviation track.

At a very recent family gathering, it came to light that this grandson is a Trump supporter. His parents are horrified, and feel this may be the result of influence of the conservative attitudes of the kid’s classmates. Both parents are retired military, and consider themselves Independents. Their last assignment was in Cheyenne WY, and they retired there, so this kid has been in a red state for the last several years of his life.

Like Owen, he is an only child.

Everyone hopes he will “outgrow” this aberration. I know I would find it very difficult if either of our sons were right wingers. Happily, there is zero chance of that happening.

8. She's just so damned cool.

[jcgoldie]

[sheshe2]

15. I know, BG.

That blew me away. I cried a bit myself watching her get choked up and listening to the impact that meeting had on her.

This young woman has a great future ahead of her.

[Cha]

21. TY!

[Blue Owl]

16. K&R

[NBachers]

19. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett blows me away every time I hear her speak. I eagerly await the government they'll build.

[sheshe2]

22. She is a breath of fresh air.

I feel like we will be leaving the place in good hands. We have so many with so much potential to help lead this country forward.

[NJCher]

24. We have a back bench

Of exceptional talent ready to take on governance for the next 40 years.

Why?

Because we don’t allow orangutans to primary out an office holder for petty revenge.

[Bo Zarts]

23. Harris for eight years .. Walz for eight years .. then Crockett for eight years!

Then I’ll be exactly 100!! I absolutely love Jasmine Crockett!!

[sheshe2]

25. ...

[Hope22]

28. Pete......

After Harris. He and Crockett would be amazing!

[Fla Dem]

30. She is definitley going places in her career.

The only problem is the Dems have so many other wonderful young and smart Legislators, so she'll have some competition!!!

[ShazzieB]

33. Jasmine Crockett is a rising star in the Democratic Party!

And I am happy to be here watching from the sidelines as she heads for the stratosphere!

[sheshe2]

34. You and me both!

As for Jasmine, that girl is on fire!

[Sucha NastyWoman]

35. Briilliant decision!

no sense on wasting her on being the Texas campaign chair.

Texas is so backwards that it produces an amazing group of Democrats who are just chomping at the bit to DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!

[birdographer]

36. She is a force of nature!

Love her. But...I'm puzzled about why we are the underdogs. Underdogs are defined as "a competitor thought to have little chance of winning..." As an individual, an underdog is defined as a person who has little status in society. Hm. Democrats won in 2020. The Democrat in 2016 won the popular vote. For poll fans, Harris is ahead in all national polls. How are we the poor underdogs with little chance of winning?

Other definitions: A loser or predicted loser in struggle or contest. The weaker of two competitors. And that's somehow US?

So while I may disagree with her in that, I heartily agree that--as NOT the underdog--we cannot let up for a moment. We are leading the race now, but that can change. So I am all in for giving 100% from now till we vote.

[Liberal In Texas]

37. You could tell she was going places back when she was block walking with some friends

in my neighborhood when she was running for the state house.

She is an important part of the future of our party and our country.

[sheshe2]

38. Congratulations.

You have great representation with Crockett.

[Liberal In Texas]

42. With gerrymandering the changing lines have moved and Colin Alred is now our Congressman.

What I was talking about was back when she was running for the seat in the Texas Lege.

[Lucky Luciano]

39. I like her bc she's the one who finally got old Marge to finally STFU.

[MLAA]

41. Smart as a whip, quick witted, beautiful and fearless! Yes, she's got a few things going for her.

I’m a big fan.

[Iris]

43. This has made my day!

[sheshe2]

44. Mine too.

That girl has wings and she is going to fly!
