I was responding to someone that was talking about a sign a daughter was carrying at the Seattle protests and how in our country's history, there has never been a female president. Not sure what the issue is?

That would have been voting for Palin solely BECAUSE she is a woman. Not for the whole package of qualifications.

If you don't like it, I suggest you get into politics and work to make your voice heard.


Um, since votes get suppressed, the MAJORITY is doing exactly that.

Trump will never be my president. He's vile, a con. Those who voted for him are to blame for what we now face.
If you're an American citizen paying taxes with a Social Security number, he is your president. Like it or not. You can not think him away.

certified electoral college & oath, but a cloud of illegitimacy and potentially actual illegitimacy due to foreign influence treason, profiteering, violation of cotus; and then his vindictive, hateful, dividing ways and mental pathology

Once again, as MondoTime has tried to explain to you, we DO NOT live in a representative democracy!

"Most people often mistakenly refer to our nation as the greatest democracy on earth. They are mistaken because we are not an absolute democracy; we are a constitutional republic".

Madison Project » We the People: A Constitutional Republic, Not a Democracy


You and everyone else that "knows" we live in a representative democracy need a remedial civics course. Or maybe, I don't know pick up a book? Take a look on the internet?

Leftist protestors often engage in vandalism and violence. Crime and all that.

Unlike conservative or libertarian protestors, leftists can't seem to separate the free speech part, from the violence part. Sad.

The marches on Saturday were the largest protest ever for many individual cities and collectively around the globe, and yet not a single arrest reported in Seattle (>100K), or DC (>500K), or LA (>750K), or Houston (>20K), or...

The anti-Trumps in Seattle tried to kill a young guy named Milo Yannopoulos who is gay and pro-Trump. That says a lot about that raging, intolerant, violent crowd.

Default March ON!

I spent many years of my life to fight for our rights to march, and rally for what one may believe in. I love that we can stand up for what we strongly believe in. But we must realize everyone has that right and simply because someone has a different belief they are still a fellow human simply running the same race everyday you are. So I say march ON!! But don't break stuff never understood why someone would wreck the city in which they live. I know this hasn't been going on here, but in other areas it has. I find it exciting what is happening. I mean I remember reading in history book about rallies, and marches. Well now I am able to witness happenings that will go on to live in future history books. And what I great time to educate our kids on the political system, and how it does or doesn't work. Also to show them you can safely and SMARTLY stand up and speak your voice...but don't break stuff...

bottom line stand up, but don't break stuff...

WHAT A GREAT TIME TO BE ALIVE!!! #americanotboring
