Loved how she described the end of the relationship. To paraphrase, for men it’s when the sex stops. For women, it’s when they have The Talk. Wade thought it was June or July. She was clear they had The Talk in August. She schooled all the men. It was a moment when I hooped and hollered at her truth! Amen, Sister!

All the questions to Ms Willis were soaked in sexism and racism. A couple of the men who questioned her came right out of their Jim Crow past to cast aspersions at the uppity woman who dared to respond. It was sickening. The whole line of questioning about her cash let everyone know the very white attorneys are clueless about what it is like to be Black in America and that cash can be life saving. Today was a very sad spectacle painful to watch.

And here we go again. Donald Trump is a one trick pony when his adversary is female. His utter contempt for women has been on display for decades. His range of responses to women run the gamut: oogling and publicly turning them into sex objects, his daughters included; domestic battery against his wives; denigrating womens' looks and intelligence, sexual assault, etc. Some suggest there is evidence supporting rape of a child with his sex trafficking bestie the late Jeffery Epstein- allegedly. And here we see it again. Fani Willis is a formidable prosecutor. She has the evidence and the chops to bury him. How does he respond? By attempting to shame her for her sexuality. If we lived in different times, he would have her publicly whipped and forced to wear a scarlet letter on her clothing. We all know and understand this is his singular, deviant response to women. My question is, why are we- and by "we" I mean the justice system and society at large, allowing him to again assault another woman who is doing her job? Why does he get to destroy people's lives? What is it about this ghastly, horrid human that has turned so many people into zombies? More importantly, when will the spell break? It can't happen soon enough.

I have always said, the heart of feminism is a woman having her own money. In our capitalist society, money talks, and when a woman has her own money, she can have her own say.

I sincerely hope that Ms. Willis ‘exposure to these creeps is limited . She is as straightforward as any one could wish for . I’m not sure why the judge seemingly caved to these jerks . It is so very apparent she ‘s being used by these criminals to distract from their criminal reality. Everyone else can see through this ruse by Trumps codefendants. Wake up

And end this lie .

I saw part of that. I'd seen before how powerfully brilliant she is, and I was thrilled to see it again, especially in this matter. They need to know who they're trying to trifle with.

Black women are held to impossible standards. Ask Michelle Obama. Nothing Willis has done or will do will satisfy them. She will be labeled "irresponsible", "incapable", "trashy", you name it, not because of her behavior but because she is an intelligent & powerful Black woman.

I love the fact Ms Willis doesn’t take any snide innuendos or crass judgements. She did not cower.

Clearly his legal lightweights don’t understand that it’s not relevant that Ms Willis had a relationship with another man, the point is that Trump screwed America without her consent…

Thanks, Mary, for putting in writing Fani Willis' brilliant responses.

I was shocked at how forceful the lawyers were attacking Nathan Wade and Fani Willis.

Yeeeee-haaaaaawwwww. That’s right, Fani. I am all about what you’re saying. You have the ball in your court as far as prosecution goes.

Factual Fani shows her brilliant offensive techniques much better than the defending shit for brains defendant and his lies and constant and abrubt interferences in the court room. Fani can’t be hushed💪🏾 And as an upstanding black woman of ethics and integrity she is right on and in your face about the truth ‼️You will be in future history books as a superb woman of integrity and real justice🔋 May your power be forever charged and enlightening ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

I love Fani and all strong women! If I hadn’t had to pay out over $1000 this week in fixing broken essentials I would pay to subscribe but as a widow ( wait till you get the “widow’s tax”) I am on beans and rice and whatever is in the freezer till next month when I get to shell out tons more for Fed taxes thanks to the Scam GOP/Orange Traitor’s tax bill-sighs

It’s so great to see strong-willed women standing up for themselves and refusing to accept being bullied. Fani Willis, E Jean Carroll, and Mary Trump are role models, not just for women, but for all humans.
