So presumably no place in America for young women who don’t follow “traditional family structure” according to a guy who seems to have done quite well for himself despute not conforming to those traditions.
Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee guided through President Trump’s nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, said Saturday her confirmation demonstrates women in America can achieve anything — provided they follow a “traditional family structure.”
“You know what I like about Judge Barrett? She’s got everything!” Graham told a crowd in Conway, S.C. “She’s just not wicked smart, she’s incredibly good. She embraces her faith. I want every young woman to know there’s a place for you in America if you are pro-life, if you embrace your religion and you follow traditional family structure. That you can go anywhere, young lady.”

Very appropriate response. You will go far, my son

Shame his views and beliefs get thrown to one side when he visits his male escorts. Some of these 'religious' people are the biggest hypocrites on the planet.

Couple Texas related questions for @BlueTX.
Any insights into the disappointing numbers of Latino voters backing the Democrats this time around? I just have a hard time wrapping my head around how anyone of Hispanic heritage could vote for a man who has so openly vilified them. One theory seems to be that people who have immigrated here legally are resentful of illegal immigrants/refugees, and are more than happy to have walked through certain open doors to get here, but are also perfectly willing to make sure to slam those same doors in the face of anyone who might want to come behind them. Obviously no one is more willing to slam doors in immigrants faces than Trump. Could it really be that cynical, or are is that just part of the picture? Or something else altogether?
In a more trivial matter, is the practice of people who speak perfect English without any accent transitioning into a full Spanish accent anytime they pronounce a single Spanish word commonplace in bilingual communities? Beto (among others) does this all the time. I know a ton of Spanish, but a lot of the time this just feels like pandering. Of course, I’ve never lived anywhere that lots of people transition in and out of multiple languages, so I was just curious.

Neat. Looking forward to it. Maybe not as much as the response from someone who spent considerable time campaigning down there the last few months though.
