She said no, obviously; since this headline doesn't go that far.
I thought this was hilarious:
“I was expecting the corruption to be much more subtle,” Trent recalled. “This was basically a bag filled with cash.”
Honestly, I would've expected it, too. Especially with how rampant it is, you'd think that it would at least try to give the appearance of legitimacy.
Yeah. Fuck that title.
Y'all don't deserve her, but you definitely need her. She will be Presidentress, just wait.
Nobody else except Cory Booker inspires me as much on the Dem side (Biden has shown growth and done some cool shit for sure tho)

I will say Katie Porter seems pretty cool.
Im not super up to date with newer faces but I def expect there are several newer more progressive faces in play :)
President is a gender neutral word.
My DENTIST complained about being called MADAME President (the correct way to address a woman in the role of president) when she was elected as the president of her professional association. She didn't like the Madame even though it is proper and formal (she didn't like how a woman in charge of a brothel is called madam rather than a pimp).
What did she want to be called, "President Lady?"
Clearly "Pimp President"
From how she was talking, I don't think she knew.
"Mr. President", clearly.
Mr. Dr. President, DDS.
Yeah, like how is that any different from Mr or Monsieur President? I guess there's a slight connotation of My Lady kinda but it seems pretty picky.
Also, she would definitely not object to the playful title. Like how Schwarzenegger embraced being the Governator and everybody loves that title for him :)

Because I've never heard a single person say Mo sieur President....
I doubt she'd have complained about Mrs President when Mr President would have been used, but "President" is on its own most of the time
Anyway, people should call people what they say they want to be addressed as, I suppose. I actually want to revise my previous incredulity and suffice it to say that if she prefers a specific title, defer to her preference on the matter. Its a silly thing for people to get upset about and it could be a bit of a double standard to be concerned about this.
Its easier to ask permission than to have to redirect and ask for forgiveness in terms of what is proper and efficient and conducive to productive working relationships—hell, just relationships in general
I like her even more now.
Meaning other politicians accepted dirty money from these AIPAC trafficers.
Good luck with that. She has the most secure seat there is. You can go ahead and make a joke out of that, but it nonetheless will remain true.
/me takes bag with dollar sign on it like this is a fucking cartoon
also /me What money?
