Something to understand what nurses think about re the Current News and their opinions!

So if you don’t already know this, I’m a homebody. My peace comes from taking the time to read blogs, forums like this and collect recipes. However when I get the chance I rarely watch the news but prefer TV for entertainment. I’m presently viewing “Gaslit” It’s hard to keep up with but I find Julia Roberts character Martha”the mouth of the south”Mitchell’s character fascinating. The time period is the 70’s, did I mention I was born those years? Yes so interestingly enough now the times the fashion the moment in history is standing out as a bookmark when we are now facing similar issues with regard to political corruption. Is it just me but does Politics involve scandals, coverups, and greed? Is the election process about building empires to consist of prominent memberships to a club that is the most sought after inclusive network?

Convince me I'm wrong.

"Good afternoon. I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time. I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her. I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit," a masked Harris said while introducing herself.

So is the news here that the woman of color was mocked on Twitter by conservatives?

How did you come to the conclusion she is being mocked because she was "the woman of color"?  Considering that one particant identified as Latina and another as a Black woman, and neither was "mocked," this suggests, at least to me, that there was some other reason.

Fox chooses the least news to report on.  Yes, that introduction was cringeworthy but why is it news?  Because it's deflecting from the real problems that some Republicans are creating.

I don't think that I said that she was mocked because she is a woman of color. 

Yes, I imagine that there is a reason.

That was the way they were introducing themselves, the VP was a team player.  

Clearly, some would rather waste their time on political pettiness than watch historic hearings on an attempt to overthrow our democratic republic. Fox News has a large following.

Yes, Fox does have a large following because we have so many poorly educated people who can't realize when they are being duped and going so far to even send him money - that's the one that blows my mind.  They took their lessons from Goebbels and recycled his ideas into a business model.

Yes, it's just more partisan BS, and unfortunately it's becoming more common.

How do you know it’s a woman?

There's quite a bit of misogyny mixed in with our politics because there is misogyny in our society and culture.

That's how I read it as well.  I'm not sure what other meaning there could have been to it. 

Maybe attention seeking behavior?  Oh well.
