Meanwhile, Donald Trump gave the Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh, famed propagandist, the man who coined the word femi-nazi, and the man who spent 20 years spreading vile rumours and lies about Hillary Clinton, eventually denying her the Presidency and distinction of being the first female President of the United States.
very Nice the post. Is important to understand that in Thiesen times women are made to be at home as house Wife. This lady, and others, was a reference for gender equality. So for me was a interesting post.

Much gratitude to those that came before me.
