61. Mrs. O is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT
Mon Nov 17, 2025, 06:20 PM
Nov 2025

in stating the obvious, and imo she has every right to be 'in-yo-face' BLUNT about it, if not outraged because frankly it's outrageous.

Twice now, womem have lost to a lying, deceitful, hate peddling CON MAN, who's bragged of 'grabbling em by the p---' had run fraudulent charities and 'university' bankrupted casinos, hid away tax forms, and invited a foreign adversary to hack emails.

After which he denied the reality of Covid and obstructed our response, profited from the office, undermined government agencies, stole classified documents, engaged in EXTORTION, was twice impeached, found guilty of sexual assault, and 34 felony charges, and incited an armed attack upon the nation's Capitol in an attempted COUP.

All of that and more, in just his first term.

Fact is, all things being equal, there's NO way either election should've been even CLOSE. Not even for dog catcher.

So, Michelle has only stated the OBVIOUS.

All of which, btw only highlights the hypocrisy, presumptiveness, and PRIVILEGE behind Trump's DEI SABOTAGE - by which an incompetent like Trump, having prevailed against FAR more qualified women,

set about doubling down on the absurdity of white male privilege, by obliterating DEI initiatives, and purging the workforce of what he called DEI hires as a way of suggesting it is THEY, rather, who were unqualified.

Especially seeing as how he has no problem hiring INCOMPETENTS via his own reverse-DEI agenda - including prosecutors with no prosecutorial experience, Fux news personalities, and others equally unqualified as himself.

A travesty and afkn insult is what it is. And frankly I think Hillary, Harris, and Mrs. O have been TOO kind about it.
