Women Wednesday

I present to you 'Madame' President.
I've been saying that we are hit with an entire week in every day since January 20th. It's exhausting.
Today, at least for the moment, I want to take a little time to honor all of our sisters working to get things done. Women who work and fight still in the year 2017 to be seen as equals.
NBC news interviewed Ms. Ryan after the incident:
(Take a close look at this video, particularly the 1:52-6 mark, I believe that is Vel and my friend Marg!)

Sean Spicer scolds longtime White House reporter, April Ryan, 'stop shaking your head' during press briefing: https://t.co/46fNyWyv5E pic.twitter.com/8uRWE57180

NBC news interviewed Ms. Ryan after the incident:
"I understand what Sean is doing — Sean is being the White House press secretary, talking about and trying to make this administration look better than what it does right now and, unfortunately, I was road kill today," Ryan said.
This was not Ryan's first puzzling encounter with the Trump administration. When Ryan, who is African American, asked Trump during a February press conference if he would be meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus to discuss his agenda, Trump responded, "I would. Do you want to set up a meeting? Are they friends of yours?"
"No," Ryan replied. "I'm just a reporter."

This is weird.. why are Senators doing this? (I'm actually asking JS some questions because he's pissed at the author of that article and it's confusing me)

Ugly smear. Accusing people opposed to USG policies of being in bed with Putin, when they're not, only helps Putin.https://t.co/o8bCx90sLW

Scoop, that story seems like they are trying to say they are all in bed with Putin to conceal what the Trump people have done. I guess that's why Trump tweeted the discredited allegations of the Hillary-Russia uranium deal to muddy the waters.

I think this is why.

Good morning, bloggers!!
Raine, thanks for a great blog!! As I feared the sexism and racism that categorized the Trump campaign have blossomed in the Trump administration. We must oppose those who would drag us back to their vision of an ideal America, one where discrimination was accepted and people had good reason to fight for their rights.

Yeah but it's weird. I'm assuming the Senators aren't necessarily involved in this to push Putin's agenda (they're clearly going after the Soros money trail for a mind-numbingly lame reason, but who knows these days), but the part I don't get is this Cvetin guy they partnered with.
Maybe I'm just confused at the maze that all these international acquaintances & relations creates.

TIL Louie Gohmert was an exchange student in Russia back in the Soviet days.
Why am I not surprised then when he interrupts this hearing about Trump & Russia to take cheap shots at Bill & Hillary Clinton...

I just had a strange idea.
What if Tillerson is going around to other countries lobbying them to cut their funding to the United Nations?
Netenyahu just said his govt was cutting their funding too.
