I Object!

I object to the picture of a beautiful woman in a red dress seated at a banquet table with a painful smile pasted on her face. I object to her having to listen to the jokes of her husband which she has heard too many times. I object to her being displayed like a valuable diamond or a royal snuffbox. I object to her not being able to get up and say: “Please excuse me, I am tired of this farce.”

I also object to the picture of a Chinese woman equally imprisoned in her seat. She is probably tired and not enjoying her food but at least she does not have to smile endlessly. I object to the two men who dominate this picture.

I object to a hypocritical Republican Senate which has firebombed long standing Senate rules and practices in order to force-feed us their Supreme Court candidate. Judge Gorsuch will inflict severe damage on the American scene long after most of these cynical Senators are gone.

I object to a hypocritical man who bemoans the fate of “beautiful babies” whose parents he will not admit into the United States.

I object to the abominable fact that we were denied an intelligent and competent woman president because a Russian barricade stopped her at the gate.

I object to the very existence of the man in the Oval Office.
