I've met with her several times and how she looked never came up. That said, she (and everyone else) makes a choice about how they present in public. Nothing wrong with noticing.

4. how many times on DU have people compared the fit Obama

to the fat-ass Trump by showing shirtless Obama? Or, at least Obama in casual clothes that accentuate his fitness? That certainly does not mean that's the most important thing about him?

Or, if you want to stick to women - classy and elegant Michelle Obama compared to scantily clad/nude Melania? Being the epitome of class and elegance didn't take away from Michelle Obama being a very intelligent woman as far as I know?

And, going back, how much time and space was spent on DU and in the media posting/talking about John Edwards and his haircuts?

If we only spoke about her looks, it would be bad, I agree. But, didn't most of us praise her yesterday for being an openly bixsexual atheist getting sworn in on the constitution (instead of the Bible) by Faux Christian Mike Pence ?

When the Friendly atheist blog contacted her office to talk about her non-belief. Her office pushed back on calling her an atheist or even nonbeliever. They went with the term as non-practicing, and that she doesn't talk about that aspect of her life.

FFS people
Mike Pence's every molecule is freakish, discuss.

She said she has always been very fashionable. But I'm not sure why that deserves a thread or that her changing looks over the years should be called freakish.

It focused on her ability to come up with different ones.

He wrote: "Are we going to talk about Sinema's freakish ability to change her appearance?" And I responded to that quote asking why, "...her changing looks over the years should be called freakish." Never said what you claim. I did ask why this deserves a thread.
