Tons of cheering and positive energy - thank you DC!!
Good to hear, hope you had a great day!

Oh, just as I thought. You don't know, either.

Trump supporters who care about this Nation should be sending him the same message as the rest of us are: Grow the F up and start acting like a President.
"That's just BS, there is no 'man hating' going on. If any normal Republican had been elected, George Bush, John Kasich, Marco Rubio there would not have been any demonstrations today"

Thats exactly why I hate the left and the democratic party, there would be no demonstrations going on?

W. Bush, Clinton and Obama eras, pretty much since reagan, have seen massive illegal immigration and the total change of American identity , NAFTA ,the largest terrorist attack on american soil and tons of attacks on our soil both carried out and prevented , a financial tsunami with mortgages, huge recession, wars in the middle east and the rise of isis, tons of racial problems ,declining wages and tons of lost good paying jobs to globalism, etc

Obama and mainstream republicans have seen close to 7-10 million manufacturing jobs lost , the rust belt grow more dismal, trade with Mexico and China killing America's middle class, tons of illegal immigration, etc.

And its ok electing a bush or kasich?

Irregardless of what anyone thinks of Trump, he is 70 years old, nationalism and borders and protectionism and class issues , identity, security and the misgivings about multiculturalism and multi religionism, economic and class issues and race problems are not going to go away as issues

IMO, the lopsidedness of the type of post I quoted outnumbering similar ones on the other side of that particular issue is like an avalanche, but of course to each his or her own on that .
Oh no, I didn't mean that directed at you specifically. I was just warding off the potentials, hehehe.

If this was really a protest for women's rights, because we had lost all of our rights, would be one thing. Men need to be smart enough and tough enough to tell their female friends, spouses and family members their rights have not been taken away. I tend to look to my husband for protection and strong arms, not wearing a pussyhat to secure my fears.


Planned Parenthood needs to be held accountable and if any wrong doing is going on, it needs to be stopped........how would anyone here like to find out their aborted child was sold for parts, like some auto parts store. I support planned parenthood for birth control and other needs, but if they're misinforming the public, they need to be called out.


These women are not even questioning any of this, but hold up signs for their own needs, while ignoring the sick part happening! I'm a little sick of these women thinking they speak for all of us on this matter. I'd like to know how many of these women know what an abortion really is and what women go through having one, let alone men pretending to know........while wearing pink hats.

I'm having trouble deciphering that, it seems that nationalism, borders, security etc. are 'top issues' for you, but then you admit that under Trump, (I guess because he is 70) the issues are not going away? So why did you vote for him if he can't fix all that crap for you? PS religionism means excessive religious zeal

No one is speaking for you, it's not about you. Every woman who demonstrated today did so for themselves and their loved ones. If you have a case to make, then by all means you should organize your own demonstration.
PS the aborted baby parts was BS it was an edited tape, that's common knowledge and you could have verified it very easily if you had wanted to be accurate.

Isn't what you libs wants for him to treat broads equally? Well?

You libs are ****ed in the head.
I am not even mildly thinking anything about this is funny.

All I can say is that from this point on American really should not point fingers at the crazy other world leaders out there and wonder how they got elected because it just happend in your country?

Looking at some footage of all the protests going on around the world, again I am really thankful for anyone you got out there and took part.

I am woman in my mid 30s and I am well aware that all that I have been able to accomplish so far in life has been mainly achieveable do the fight for equality that the women who lived before me have fought.
Not planning on settling for anything less then being treated equally and it sickens me to think that any woman would.
