Just caught the audio of the roar of the crowd at Trump Tower in NY.
Imagine living there.
Man oh man, if someone can harness and focus this energy going forward........
Spicer gave a brief press conference primarily to blast the media for misrepresenting the crowd size at the Inauguration and claiming the crowd was bigger than reported and bigger than today's crowd.
So after a day of people all over the US marching together, what's important to this admin is who had the bigger penis.
The big problem or maybe not......these people for the most part are being offered free stuff and being paid.
Take that away and see how many show up! One thing to do something because you believe in it.....being paid to protest is that really protesting?

Sorry, Mr. Trump, but the pictures do not lie. More people turned out in Washington alone today than were there for you yesterday. And when you add up the numbers across the country, it dwarfs the pitiful turnout to see you inaugurated. We're here and we're not going away. Deal with it.
Didn't you start a topic here earlier in the week that stated that Trump would not start work until Monday? And of course you also said he'd never win election.
Seems to me your predictions about Trump and what he has to deal with, are not hitting the mark at all.
I was in Chicago for the march today. They were expecting 50,000. They got 250,000. A quarter of a million women, men and children of all ages and colors. It was a literal sea of people. All across the world turnout exceeded expectations by huge margins. It was peaceful and unifying and the energy of the crowd was amazing.

Trump enters office with the lowest rating of any president in modern times. Few turned out to see him inaugurated. And today, literally millions of Americans took to the streets in protest of the new occupant of the White House. This, my friend, is what the beginning of a movement looks like.
The "movement" has been going on since the 1960s and 1970 and now the far left takeover of the Democrat party is pretty much complete.
White people have been leaving the Democrat Party in droves since reagan and the democratic party has lost white voter majorities in almost every demographic from blue collar and college educated white males,millennials, white women and on and on
Its always the left protesting and marching , in blue cities that are increasingly irrelevant at the polls ,and it never translates into success at the polls
This is what "the movement" in the Democrat party has brought the Republican party
"1-The Presidency
2-The Senate
3-The House
4-Majority of Governorships
5-Majority of State Legislatures
6-At least a generation of a conservative SCOTUS "
The far left has left the democratic party in its worst shape in over 100 years!
So what exactly is it you want Trump to deal with?
What exactly is it you want?
The Trump administration wants to defund Planned Parenthood. They are going to take away healthcare from millions of Americans. They are attacking a woman's right to choose. They are threatening to weaken the laws that protect our water and air in the name of corporate profits. They deny science. These are all issues that deeply affect women--and men--across the country and the world.

There was no violence at any of the marches today, no matter how much you wish there had been. We were peacefully exercising our Constitutionally-given rights. Something else Mr. Trump would like to do away with if he gets the chance.
He won't. We aren't going to allow him to silence us.
If that much, the funny thing is nationalism and populism and right wing parties are sweeping all over the west. I guarantee you if you took a unbiased poll most americans would highly dislike madonna and all these celebrities and far left / men hating feminists and these marches before Trump is really even in office!
Feminists , Black lives matters anti white radicals and riots, islamic terrorism and multiculturalism , globalist open border types etc are what gave the presidency to Trump and absolutely destroyed the democratic party nation wide
This is quote of what these groups and marches like today have brought the republican party
"1-The Presidency
2-The Senate
3-The House
4-Majority of Governorships
5-Majority of State Legislatures
6-At least a generation of a conservative SCOTUS "
These far left idiots have made the republican party the strongest its been in its entire history and left the democrats decimated but they still can't see it.
1. The GOP does not have a Filibuster-proof majority in either houses of congress. There are enough Democrats to frustrate their Republican colleagues.
2. The majority of Big Cities in the US are still in control of Democrat mayors and city councils... A mayor of a big city like New York controls more money, has more power, and exerts more international political influence that the governors and state legislators in 6 smaller Republican controlled states combined (you know, like Idaho, Wyoming, Mississippi and the like.)
3. The Supreme Court has a 4 to 4 split between Democrat and Republican nominees. Even when SCOTUS had a one seat Republican advantage they often sided with the liberals. Two recent examples: they upheld Obamacare (Roberts sided with the liberals), and they upheld the legality of same-sex marriage (Kennedy sided with the liberals).
4. The rest of the justice department leans more towards the Democratic perspective. Obama alone appointed about 35% of the federal judges and circuit court judges.
5. Elections are held every two years, remember the political pendulum swings back and forth.
There you go again. Telling us what 10s of millions who you have never met, never talked to, never dealt with or even never seen, are thinking.
And yet in your next sentence, you do the exact same thing.:

If these women wanted Hillary, they should have gone out and voted.
Why do you assume they didn't vote? For Hillary or Johnson? My wife voted for Johnson because, like me, she didn't like either choice. But she did vote and also marched today. And she did so because the last 18 months of Trump's campaign were full of hateful, misogynistic statements and actions and wanted to add her voice to those that are saying that those actions and statements better not become the law of the land.

But their real numbers vs the vast majority of the USA is very very small.
So are Trump's numbers. Sorry. When you add the Dems and the independents, Trump's numbers shrivel. When you take those plus the numbers of eligible voters who didn't like ANY of the choices presented them, Trump's numbers shrink even farther. So acting like you got the popular mandate is false. And that sort of arrogance will come back and bite you.
