All Hail the Power of the P
Can we start here?
For fuck's sake DAMMIT can we touch and agree on this? This argument is so STUPID. And a FUCKING FALSE EQUIVALENT. I realize that everything and just about everyone is fair game in an election cycle, especially one as bitter and contentious as this one. Especially when you got Petty Grable/Petty White/Petty Duke Austin/Petty Lamarr (EVERY DAMN PETTY except Petty Pendergrass cause no to any parallel to this man’s pimpin) on deck spitting his usual non-information information and perpetuating the dumbing down of America, or as Steve Schmidt so perfectly stated, intellectual rot. He who shall not be named in this piece is the emperor and impetus of the resulting anti-intellectual movement that's afoot.
What if we judged male candidates, particularly this one, on their WIVES? Instead of their merits and credentials? Just what if? Not even exes. Ahem...Exhibit A.
Was she "so Presidential" in this spread? [Seriously, no pun intended] I’m not going to even start down the path of if this was Michelle Obama... or if Barack had 5 kids and 3 baby mamas...Ugh. Forget it.
Keep repeating to self....
I can tell you now that neither he who shall not be named in this piece’s “credentials” or his choice of wife would win my vote. That is all.
But what if Hillary made it her business to once elected to check her receipts re: her path to citizenship? Questionable. What if Hillary did a deep dive into her "modeling" career? How many high end pimps and johns would tumble out? Just because it's expensive Slavic Barbie p-- doesn't change the nature of the transaction. I don't know much about this woman and don't have the inclination to do the digging. But alls ahmsayin is what if the double standard were reversed? No one is talking about whether Melania is appropriate as a first lady. Or digging up dirt to have her deported or he who shall not be named arrested on tax fraud. Or, to peg it back to his rhetoric, how absolutely backasswards it is that she barely speaks English and he.s talking walls and deportation and such. Unhunh I see. Brown immigrants then. Did some broke, brown man steal your lady? Or is it just purely ignorance and xenophobia?
But I digress. This is bigger than a fear of a black or brown D and Birth of A Nation (the turn of the century racist garbage movie) style depictions of black and brown rapists. Can we talk about Power of the P? And put some respeck on that thang? Its power has crippled many a-man (Ok, so Bill Clinton applies here), taking him down to his knees, tarnishing reputations and legacies. Without even trying. And in some cases, like this election for instance, it elicits a deep-seated fear which in turn unleashes rabid ignorance and sexism as described above. The comments and the “jokes” are, well, deplorable. Grab them by the p*ssy? That says to me, metaphorically,that you want to snatch power, usurp our strength, take our agency. And literally that sexual assualt and rape culture are ok. But this is only a reminder that we have do indeed have power, ladies. And not just in the seat of our panties. No way. I’m not reducing us to genitalia. We have the power of our minds, the power of the pen and most importantly the power of the ballot. We are enfranchised! Moreover, we are more often than not the gatekeepers in our homes. We are more often than not the person who molds the children and therefore the future of our country. Most of us do our level best to put forth into the world respectful citizens who contribute to the greater good of this country, helping to MAINTAIN its greatness. This is the power of the P.
We have talked of this ad nauseum but it bears repeating, why is this woman, who is inarguably the most qualified candidate EVER, subjected to this low level of discourse? No man would ever be subjected to this. Never. There has never been so much vulgarity and crude language in any election. Ever. Why does she have to suffer this fool? With his unintelligent and, at times, unintelligible babble. I tell ya, the power of the P has clearly got ‘em quaking. When your big gun, emails aside, is Hillary’s husband? And that she intimidated some of his heaux? I’m going to go out on a limb and say, So fuckin what? I know it isn’t right but don’t you all say she’s not human or relatable enough? You can’t have it both ways. This is nothing else if not human frailty. What woman hasn’t been cheated on? [Stop lying!] What woman hasn’t made a phone call to another one? Phone checked your man? Broke into emails? There are some of you more common type folk who picked a fistfight or had that woman’s credit cards or electric cut off. You know it’s true. Don’t tell that godless lie! Who hasn’t subsequently stayed after being embarrassed within your respective circle(s) because of financial reasons, children or most likely in Hill’s case, ambition? [STOP LYING!!]
Nonetheless, this man and his fidiot nation are waving the big white, blood spattered flag of white male privilege in our faces. Shamelessly. So whatchu gone do? Not voting is not an option for anyone with a lick of sense. He and his coven cannot continue to operate with impunity.
Women can rise up and turn this thing around.
“If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down, all alone...together women ought to be able to turn it rightside up again.”

All hail the power of the P!! Cause we got the power hunny. We can't be afraid to wield it. You can try to grab my p*ssy but you gone learn ta-day. Kitty got claws. And fangs bish.
