[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have lots of hope. Not sure how Trump/Vance is going to win the women vote. [/quote]

You'd think.

But after nominating a senile, geriatric unpopular old man who will be 86 and who likes to "sniff" women, I'm pretty confident Democrats can screw up everything [/quote]

Um, Trump is gross, so not concerned there. The Trump/Vance policies are anti women.[/quote]

Yeah but there are lots of women who are angry about their grocery bills. [/quote]

a lot lot.

Democrats want to draft women to fight and die for their wars. No way.[/quote]

Senate Democrats have added language to the annual defense authorization bill to require women to register for the draft, prompting a backlash from Republicans and social conservatives and complicating the chances of moving the bill on the Senate floor before Election Day.

Conservatives led by Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) are certain to attempt to remove the provision requiring women to register for the draft, which could present a tough vote for Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) and other Democrats in tight reelection races.

But Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Jack Reed (D-R.I.) defended the proposed policy change, arguing that women can hold many warfighting positions without serving as front-line infantry troops.

“Women are doing a remarkable job in our forces today, and if we were in a situation requiring a draft, I think we would need all able-bodied citizens 18 and above,” he said.

“If we go to a draft, that means we’re in a serious, serious situation,” he added.
