She is so admirable, as is the judge and the prosecutor. 🤺⚖️

Romans 12vs 20-21:

Rather, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head.

Do not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good.

Certainly a lesson for the so-called Christians who claim Trump as their spiritual leader, or something. (Wow — it felt just WRONG to attach those words to TFG.)

She's a professional and sticks to the task. No matter what he says, he's unable to rattle or derail her. He has no effect on her and it's awesome!

I'm totally lost on the Peek-A-Boo business — as in, "Peek-a-boo, I see you?" Well, she certainly sees him for what he is, so there's that.

And here is another factoid that should stir the crowd. On this date in 2015 the House of Representatives voted down the legislation to give women the right to vote! While much progress has been made to equalize rights, there are many who would like to return to the days when women were chattel.

No other citizen could/would do what 45 has done in a court room! His rant just another one of his carnival side show acts! Sadly, his followers include some that will call in bomb threats and worse.

Yet, he has an insurmountable lead in the polls in HIS party's presidential primaries....put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Leticia James. I am proud to be in the same room as Ms James and call myself a woman. She is confident and confident! Along with being a nice person, attributes, I admire. And I have since the campaign for the 2016 election believed in the old adage if you give a person like TFG latitude/rope, they will hang themselves.

Yesterday he wasn’t given the latitude, but he took it. Add that to all the other times he has opened his mouth and let the crap roll out and soon I pray he will prove that adage true.

Not to take anything away from AG James but I think her statement was at least as practical as it might have been biblical in nature. She acknowledged Trump’s rantings without engaging them further. Anything more than that would have added fuel (at least in Trump’s mind) to the inevitable appeal. Best let his behavior speak for itself.

With apologies to lovers of the child’s song:

“The AG takes the high road, the AG takes the high road,

Hi-ho the derry-o, the AG takes the high road.

The Cheeto stands alone, the Cheeto stands alone,

Hi-ho the derry-o, the Cheeto stands alone.”

Oh, I'm under no delusion that AG James was following any Biblical precepts, but I'm looking for inspiration where I can find it. I'm just so impressed with her (and your enhancing that song).

Every time I see this passage I think of ch. 18 of “Huckleberry Finn,” where it’s used in perhaps the most ironical way in all of American literature.

Please remind me what TFG means. I'm sure I could come with my own that would be quite appropriate but I'm pretty sure yours is better.

she is one classy lady. We could all do well to follow her lead. God bless her!
