You're not serious are you? You're joking right?

I guess I am advocating what the Right has based their superiority on for generations. Their rallying cry "I folk only my wife - of whatever age". Mr. Trump has bragged that his "war" was not getting an STD while partying in NYC while others were in Vietnam and elsewhere.

So, can we dispense with ALL the talking points of the right about "family values"? I'm game...but that's what the evangelicals and GOP pols have been standing behind for decades.

I am fairly certain Mr. Trump has abused women - but he paid or scared them to keep quiet. Good chance we'll see it come out soon.

I guess I'm an old fashioned liberal. Till death do us part and all that. Family values. Yeah, I know that went out of style when "Greed is Good" came in.

So let's stop with the BS. Evangelicals, Christians and the like are now fine with 100 sexual partners, draft dodgers, locker room talk and all the other stuff Trump represents. They are 100% fine with talking on a national level about the size of genitals, women's periods and going to the bathroom.

Are we in agreement - and OK - about that all?

Let's not be hypocrites. Churches have turned into Sodom and Gomarrah with their love of this character. They love money and gold bathroom fixtures.

I know a LOT of millionaires who went to the March. I wonder if they are looking for free stuff from The Don?

You rambled quite a bit and never answered my question.

And who are you? You started a whole thread about a movement you don't even understand.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Trump isn't best for anyone, least of all women, who he judges by their looks, cheats on, and claims to grab by the ***** without their consent.

Women want to keep the rights they have and not go backwards 50 years. And they're also advocating for others' equality and rights.

70 pages and I still have not seen a decent answer to this.

An education secretary who has never taught or held a position in education? An energy secretary who a few years ago wanted to dismantle the department? A man who talks about grabbing women by the pu**y and telling a shock jock that it's okay to call his daughter a piece of a**? What a pervert, talking like that about his own daughter.
Yea, "legalize it" and "free the nipple".

There is no rule stating about cabinet picks. They are approved by Congress, so it is not like Trump has sole power on this.

So what he said those things, I guess it would make everyone happier if he kept it to himself? Bill Clinton thinks of women no better, and even cheated on his wife using his influence over an impressionable intern.

I voted for Hillary, but you anti-Trump people are delusional, and seem to not understand he won the election. Any little thing he does you will find some critique in it. Goodness, there is a damn thread on here critiquing how he signed his damn. I think many of you need professional mental help.

I have never seen such thin skinned, whiny people in politics in my life, and it's only day one.

This is gonna be entertaining.
Day 1 and what matters to Trump is crowd size.

Fact checkers have blown a hole through it.

How beyond ridiculous that this topic was worthy of a press conference on Day 1, let alone any day.

Buckle up for Mr Toad's Wild Ride.

Many voted against unlikable Hillary and there was really only 1 other choice.

Dems need to blame themselves for running such a bad candidate. That's why Trump was elected.
