So, I've been thinking...

She doesn't look terribly happy – do she?!

Ridiculous snot-twadledom

Ya know, with all the time I’ve spent flat on my back lately, (like 95% of my days), I’ve had loads of time to think on a bazillion and one half issues.

One bit pressing on my bean is, who should run in 2020. I love Harris, Warren, Biden and Booker BUT:

A) I strongly believe that the candidate should be be someone who will be 65 or younger on Inauguration Day.
B) I wanna nip the fascist/gifter/republican “coastal elite” bullshit right in the get-going bud.
C) The ticket just cannot be all white. That doesn’t represent real America – it's the '50s era fantasy, “Father Knows Best” warthog shit that the temper tantrumy toddler FGR party has never gotten over.

After much cogitation I landed on Tammy Duckworth, the U.S. Senator of Illinois, with Beto O’Rourke, the U.S. Representative for Texas’s 16th congressional district, as VP. Both are from middle America – one in the North, the other in the South

Duckworth’s father was American, her mother Chinese and she was born in Bangkok.
So, is she eligible to run?

The constitution lays out three requirements:

• he or she must be a natural born citizen of the U.S.,
• must be at least 35 years old
• must have been living in the U.S. for at least 14 years. (source)

Look at Ted Bozo Cruz, most hated man in the Senate * (by OTHER  fascist/grifter/republican Senators and members of the House) he was born in Canada to a Cuban father and American mother (demons masquerading as humans actually) and he was eligible to run for Prez.

Duckworth’s father was a military man, Army, as was she. She’s smart as all fucking hell, holding:

A) Bachelor of Arts in political science,
B) A Master of Arts in international affairs from George Washington University’s Elliott School of International Affairs.
AND
C) A PhD in Human Services at Capella University in March 2015.

Duckworth knows the score, she’s articulate, charismatic, impressive in all hell, she’s, not just survived but triumphed over ungodly adversity, is a razor sharp wordsmith (unlike preznint grade school humor, stupid head) and understands the beauty of diplomacy versus war (also very much unlike preznint dictator wannabe, chicken hawk, saber rattler, blowhard). Plus she’s a woman and she ain’t white.

Here’s a great quote from her that tells me she’s the one:

“When I see myself wearing those legs (her prosthetics, made and painted to look just like her old, blown off pins) in a mirror, I see loss. But when I see this”—she gestures toward the steel-and-titanium prosthesis attached to her thigh above her right knee—“I see strength. I see a reminder of where I am now.” Same thing with her wheelchair. “People always want me to hide it in pictures. I say no! I earned this wheelchair. It’s no different from a medal I wear on my chest. Why would I hide it?” (source) 

Then there’s Beto. He’s got charisma in spades, he’s smart (Columbia University – no place for lazy slouch brained shit-for-brains), he’s well rounded, eloquent, compassionate, musical!  and well informed, (again, unlike the dimbulbed Velveeta Vulgarian).

So look  this is MY dream team. Who’s yours?

* Cruz may be losing that crown to Tom I-Couldn't-BE- more-of-an-idiot Cotton
