Wonderful Women Of The World
Posted by Michelle Moquin on June 19th, 2016
Hey there, Good Morning!
And this is the man…no boy…who is infantile, racist, misogynistic, narcissistic, will never grow-up to-be-a-man, running for president and people…women, are voting for. Men…no boys, I can understand because they are the same as him…infantile, racist…oh, I already said that.
This woman, my pic for Wonderful Women of The World, is taking this matter in her own hands, and doing something about it.
From Think Progress:
Former Ms. Universe Urges Immigrants To Join Her In Becoming Citizens To Vote Against Donald Trump
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA — Venezuelan model and actress Alicia Machado says it took her many years to get over get over the abuse she suffered at the hands of Donald Trump when she was crowned Ms. Universe in 1996.
“He made me feel small,” she told ThinkProgress in Spanish. “He threatened me, treated me rudely. He called me ‘Ms. Housekeeping’ in front of his friends.”
Trump, then the owner of the beauty pageant, publicly mocked Machado for gaining weight and forced her to exercise in front of TV cameras. She said she was depressed and suffered from an eating disorder for several years as a result.
“He hates girls,” she said. “He considers girls to be less. We have another status, to him.”
Machado has lived in the U.S. for nearly 20 years now, and has a seven-year-old daughter who is a U.S. citizen. But she didn’t consider becoming a citizen herself until a few months ago, when Trump became the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee.
“It was like a great monster reappearing in my life,” she said. “In the beginning, I thought there was no way this loco will ever win. But after the primaries I realized I need to vote. I can’t invite my community to step up if I won’t do it myself.”
It was like a great monster reappearing in my life
Machado says she became more motivated still after Trump attacked the judge presiding over charges of fraud against Trump University, arguing that because the judge has Mexican parents, he must be biased against Trump.
“Is he saying that if my daughter wanted to be a judge when she grew up, she couldn’t do it fairly because her mom is Venezuelan and her dad is Mexican?” Machado asked. “Would he not see her as American, even though she was born here? It’s absurd.”
Machado, who has passed her citizenship test and is now waiting for her passport to arrive in the mail, is one of hundreds of thousands to do so since Trump’s candidacy began. While it’s impossible to know how many are, like Machado, motivated by a desire to stop Trump from winning, reporting by ThinkProgress and other outlets suggest it’s a strong contributing factor.
Though applications for citizenship always increase during a presidential election year, this year is uniquely high.
If the trend continues, as many as one million new citizens will be casting ballots this November, and they could tip the balance of power in close swing states like Virginia, Florida, Colorado, Nevada, and Ohio. These new citizens are registering to vote at a higher rate than most Americans. New polling suggests as well that Trump’s rhetoric about Latinos is motivating those who are already citizens to become more politically active.
In a press conference this week in Virginia’s Arlington County — which has a large and rapidly growing immigrant population — Machado urged her fellow green card holders to apply for citizenship “right now, this month.”
“We are a free country, and we can’t give that up for a crazy, ignorant, ambitious, misogynistic despot who just wants to slake his thirst for power,” she said of Trump.

I like this lady.

The American people need to realize that Donald J. Trump is our last hope. He is the only person who is capable of saving America and the Western World as a whole from falling into the depths of despair due to globalist agendas and a crippling political correctness era.
June 20th, 2016 at 6:58 am
I rather read Min kamp than art of the deal
June 20th, 2016 at 6:59 am
Trump honestly isn’t President material. Hillary isn’t focused on the people, she’s just worried about her wallet. Bernie Sanders however is perfect.
June 20th, 2016 at 7:02 am
Vy#2, your statement has to be the most ridiculous statements I’ve ever seen.
June 20th, 2016 at 7:04 am
Mar#3, neither of them are worth the read.
June 20th, 2016 at 7:06 am
Look back at the whole life of trump. His top priority has been to do what is best for him as opposed to what is best for the country.
June 20th, 2016 at 7:07 am
Donald Trump dosen’t hate Mexicans, he just wants them to come to this country legally.
June 20th, 2016 at 7:12 am
Trump’s unveiled chauvinist, racist behavior disqualifies him for POTUS. I feel sorry for people who can’t see that who are OTWs.
Most of the whites who support him feel the same as he does about OTWs. They don’t see people as individuals. They lump them into stereotypical tribal groups the way Trump likes to do.
June 20th, 2016 at 7:16 am
Trump is nothing but a con artist. Born rich, and losing money everyday! Bernie Sanders is the guy needed in the driver’s seat… or Jill Stein. If this planet doesn’t stop burning things for power, this planets’ TOAST!
Wake up and smell the making of the new red planet! We’re gonna get to see what Mars looked like with oceans! …us and our kids!
Trump is backed by the KKK and doesn’t mind! Does that sound like what the world needs to you? Telling supporters kicking protestors “that’s it, rough ‘em up!”
June 20th, 2016 at 7:17 am
In my opinion Trump is better than the continuation of Obama’s policies through Clinton or Sanders but Trump is a tremendously flawed candidate as well and he’s no Republican .
June 20th, 2016 at 7:19 am
Jeff#11, Clinton’s policies are NOT Obama’s policies, and it’s Clinton’s policies that have been the problem all along. You have it backwards.
Obama wanted things much better than the Clintons. The other party conservatives and the GOP blocked his best solutions every time.
It was when Obama stood up and demanded rational action instead of war mongering that he made the best advances.
June 20th, 2016 at 7:27 am
Obama does what he can while both the GOP and most of the DNC leadership are wall Street conservative sellouts.
If people would stop reading propaganda sites, and learn how to fact check better, they would be more informed.
Some of you raise some points that may be valid but they don’t support many of your conclusions.
June 20th, 2016 at 7:28 am
I’m from Australia and I want to see Trump win, I want to see if sets a precedent for the rest of the world.
June 20th, 2016 at 7:30 am
I agree with you Scott#13, We have TWO wall street owned conservative parties! Privatizing government services only gets you the crappiest for the MO$T! Always did, always will.
If you don’t want corporations running your government, stop electing those who work for them!
June 20th, 2016 at 7:35 am
Most certainly you are right Scott#13. The corporations Privatized and Profitized the prison system by rounding up blacks on drug charges.
The bought and paid for politicians handed Wall Street the deregulation that caused the crash, opened up HEDGE FUNDS… [the Clinton's son-in-law is a HEDGE FUND MANAGER ! ! !]
GOP DINGBATS are only making pieces of shit like the Clintons look good enough. Democrats will take them over the loony tunes on the GOP menu!
June 20th, 2016 at 7:38 am
VY#2, The ONLY thing trump knows how to do is manipulate crowds! He was born rich and getting poorer EVERY SECOND! TV shows were the best thing he did, and they were crap!
Working America has been through ENOUGH! They are NOT going to work even harder as slaves for TRUMP!
June 20th, 2016 at 7:41 am
Ilena#14, if you want trump so bad, come and get him, but the money stays here to cover his debts.
June 20th, 2016 at 7:42 am
George Bush’s policies worked and supported the moderate Muslim Majority that yearns for reformation . Obama abandon them and threw them to ISIS . Any more questions ???
June 20th, 2016 at 7:51 am
Jeff#19, Let’s see. Bush was president when 9/11 occurred.
June 20th, 2016 at 7:52 am
Jackie#17, Trump will win. Because you and people like you are robbed of moral decency and replace it with pure ignorance and name calling. Shame on you.
June 20th, 2016 at 7:54 am
All trump does is contradict himself and say the dumbest things. If he wins I’d say there’s a big chance of a war happening inside of America between it’s own citizens.
And I highly doubt the fat,overweight just over the line of mental retardation trump supporters have any chance of winning that war. His goal isn’t to make America great again it’s to destroy it and he’s doing a great job at the moment by gathering angry citizens.
Anyone who supports this idiot is obviously as ignorant and stupid as trump.
June 20th, 2016 at 8:01 am
All of you who vote for this guy are sick racist people who care aboat no one else than yourselves. Why would you want a guy like this for presidant who makes fun of disabled people, wants to bring back the days when certian people had more rights than other?
Why would you want the world to become a worse place? Why would you want to bring back wars? Why?
Why would you be more privalged than others? Why do you want to see innocent people’s lives get ruined?
Trump speaks as if he would help others meanwhile he is a bilionare who doesn’t even help people who starve to death.
What is wrong with you people? You have be very sick minded to think this is a good person. Why do you want a man like this to be a president?
I will never understand America . i feel sorry for the innocent people who live there, and have to fall under the mistakes that people like you racist narcissists make.
Enjoy WW3 and fuck you all.
