spot on as always Summer. of course, Kamala HAS to pick a white male dude “to balance the ticket,” according to the pundit class. oh geez! i get it from a practical standpoint. we aren’t evolved enough as a country 🙄. but still annoys me!

I appreciate what @lauriestone said this morning: “Here's a novel idea. You don't need to tell Kamala things you think are wrong with her. Women have been listening to things you think are wrong with us for let's say 10,000 years. We're all topped up. Here's a novel idea. You can just love Kamala for what she is. You don't need to make a list. You can just love her and let her see the love, and that love will spread and it will help her run and help her win.”

🧡🧡🧡 the song! 🧡🧡🧡you too.

and the puppy, well, I’m guessing she will let you know her name 😉.

My fussy and sometimes demented laptop won't let me choose the LIKE button, so I just wanted you to know how much I loved your reflection.

I think Rumi is a better name for a puppy... Dogs need names that easily roll off the tongue, and besides, your puppy will be around a lot longer than a president is in office even if they're reelected (at least under "normal" circumstances). Also, I think it would be a lot for a little puppy to carry that name. You want her to be your doorway out of the stress machine that is our world these days. You want to be able to bury your hands and face in her coat and forget about politics or even that there's such a thing as presidents and vice-presidents and political parties and wars and climate change and all the things! Rumi's poetry does that for us. Perhaps Rumi the puppy can transport you as well.

EXACTLY!!! Rumi the poet is timeless for me. Last thing I want to think about most the time is politics, lol

I love the information you have on how countries thrive under women's leadership. Iceland is another great example. I believe they were the only nation that didn't go through the 2008 financial crisis. Something about not getting involved in financial deals that didn't make sense. How pragmatic! Those three weeks where Biden was deciding what to do, were stressful! I took to writing him almost daily in the last week. So glad he took my advice! Lol. It is so exciting to have Kamala Harris taking up the charge, the champion we need! There is so much catharsis potential in the prosecutor against the felon race that this sets up. We were foiled by the courts and now we get it in the political realm, right where the red people claimed it belongs. Let's see how they like it now. Your puppy is fricking adorable, Glinda the Good Witch and glitter indeed! I guess you could call her Glenda. I look forward to reading more. Keep up the excellent work!

All I can say is this feels so right, this has a feeling of inevitably... I just hope I am not dreaming!

And I'm with Anne, she (the puppy ) will almost certainly pick her own name in due time 😌

You'll get no arguments from me! Also: holy SHIT, what a great song!

And far as I'm concerned, the more adorable puppies named Kamala, the BETTER!!! (Probably only one per family, though!)

Picking a woman, just because she is a woman, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is dei hire. Only a moron would vote for her for any other reason. She talks about solving problems that she created 4years ago. No sense in waiting around Kamala, u are in charge, seal the border!! And stop lying about the job #s. 880,000 jobs is a pretty big lie. Try telling the truth
