Lets call JD Vance what he is and what he espouses: misogyny, ignorance, fascism and sycophancy.

I am an American expat living in Mexico where we just elected the first female president, Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum by a LANDSLIDE. It's time for the first female to become President of the USA. Kamala Harris will win by a LANDSLIDE and force MAGA to accept the results of a peaceful transition of power. Women are the majority in America and who the hell thinks the government has the right to tell them what to do with their body. That is enough reason to vote for Kamala Harris and there are many more great reasons.

hopefully without the murdering of so many people running for office as in Mexico though, men and women.

Yes, the violence here in Mexico during political campaigns is terrifying. We lost over 30 candidates, but the most murders were in areas controlled by the narcos far from us. Where I live in Ejido Juan Sarabia near Chetumal (southeastern part of the country) there was no violence, and we have a female mayor. I hope the USA does not have an increase in such violence. We run an animal rescue center and make music for Tunes.dog We use the royalties for animal rescue efforts in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.

We’re WOMEN, Willi, not “females.” “Female” is an adjective used for animals and crime suspects, not a noun to use for grown adults. Ugh. Why do men not want to use the word “woman”? What is with that? It matters.

Interesting. I did not know that some people feel the word "female" is derogatory. How do you feel about using the spelling of the word "womyn"?

I have been a happy, proud, childless cat lady for the past 60 years. Bravo, Michael Moore! And bravo to Myra for calling JD Vance out for being a mysogynist, ignoramus, fascist sycophant. As well as to Tom McLaughlin (wish I'd made that one up, Tom!)

The expression I was told was “The guy doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the wall” . Must have been regional differences of the same thought 😊

It is not enough for us to just vote in the election this time.

Each of us "little people" have to volunteer, so that we can win in a landslide.

Because Donald Trump just told us "the fix is in".

They are gonna cheat every way they can.

They are gonna say the election was stolen again.

And they must have election denying judges strategically placed in order to get the challenges they plan to make all the way up to the supreme court so that the SCOTUS can pull another Bush v Gore, and install Donald Trump in the white house.

We need to contact Joe Biden, and tell him that as long as he is trying to put a check on the Supreme Court's abuse of their power, he needs to ban the SCOTUS from accepting any cases related to any elections.

I have been warning everyone I know, for more than 6 months and no one has listened.

I feel like Cassandra.

It is my fate to see all of this coming, and to have everyone say to me, "that's not gonna happen"

It is like watching a train crash in slow motion.

I've been screaming the same thing for months. No one is listening.....just like Germany in 1933. "no, this won't happen here".....I'm thinking of relocating to where, I don't know. But, I know I won't be able to stay here.

I didn't know it was the cat women that were making America so dysfunctional, I always thought it was the right wingers? I'm glad Vance straightened me out. Those cat women are to blame for free trade the trickle down, offshore

banking, overpopulation, immigration, unfunded wars, global warming, capitalist healthcare, the national debt, obstructing, the insurrection, fascism, nationalism... It was those cat ladies that stole over a trillion dollars from us the last 60 years, not the right wing Republicans!

There can be only one result to rescue the nation from the darkness that is Trump and that must be a complete defeat of the Criminal Trump and enough of his enablers in both Houses of Congress happily paving the way to a joyous recovery of The American Dream

I wish the was a lot less focus on this meaningless BS and a whole lot more effort aimed at letting more people know about Project 2025. A lot of progress has been made on this over the last month, but most people still have no clue that this \traitorous plan exists. If all voters understood the reality of the Project 2025 intentions and plan, Democrats would win this election in a landslide.

And we need a landslide, because the real fight is going to be the election itself... whether votes are even counted and reported. Violence towards poll workers continues, purging of voter rolls continue... and we are spending time talking about catladies???

I sent this to Michael separately, before I signed up:

Good morning, Michael, from a childless cat-lady. In the various discussions and rantings related to the opinion of the Republican vice-presidential candidate that "childless cat-ladies" are not invested in the future and so are unworthy of consideration, I have not noticed any reference to the fact that many childless people are, in fact, biologically and genetically invested in the future. I have done a lot of genealogical DNA testing and analysis along my branch of the human race, and although I have no children, I have a dozen nieces and nephews. "Shared DNA" is a factoid of interest to genetic genealogists, and it turns out that any person, childless or not, shares, on the average, 25% of their DNA with their nephews and nieces. And, a person who has grandchildren also shares approximately 25% of their DNA with their grandchildren. So, by this metric, nieces and nephews are genetically equivalent to grandchildren, and anyone who has nephews or nieces has an equivalent genetic investment in the future as do those who have grandchildren.

what about Dog Ladies? Rescue dogs even ! Are we too all those words I dont think JD Vance even really knows what they mean (or else he'd have to look at Trump and himself). I hope we make his list even though I have grown children. He is one of the most unlikable people I've ever heard of and thereof to make his "NOT LIKE" list would be an honor.

It has been so interesting watching some on the far right make such fools of themselves. It has been so pathetic in some cases until it is a bit funny. I do enjoy how we are able to take their negatives and turn them into positives. Thank you Michael for sharing the portrait of one of our country’s original Cat Ladies. I would also like to add that I am a proud DEI woman, which also stands for: I (D)efinitely (E)arned (I)t!

I am just staying tuned for anything else they throw our way😀
