OK we'll for the fun of it add in Ashley Judd. Now there is more than one. Do you need more?

Your point s weak at best. Adding celebrity names doesn't help. I marched with over 100,000 other people, and there were no celebrities at my march.

The smartest things they ever say are usually written by someone else and handed to them in a movie script or song lyrics. Most of these people are dumb dumbs. And quit dying your hair weird colors because its probably why you don't have a job and have time to attend these destructive protests.
Madonna didn't do anything but show up and shoot her potty mouth off.
She wasn't an organizer, and she wasn't the voice of all the women who marched by a long shot.

The woman you need to think about is the lady next door. The one who sat down with some pink yarn and spent many hours knitting a cap for herself, her sisters and daughters, and some spares to hand out at the march.

Every hour spent with those knitting needles was time the lady next door spent thinking about the damage Trump has said he would do to women's rights.

I'm pretty sure the lady next door is no Madonna. More likely, she's a lot like you. She doesn't listen to celebrities any more than you do, isn't any smarter (or dumber) than you are, or has her hair dyed green.

She's the face of the 21st century woman, just like yours is.
You may be content with going back to the past, a time when no woman could get the same pay a man got, or was forced into bearing an unwanted child and forced to nurture it for life afterward, but she isn't.

After her knitting was done, the lady next door bought a ticket to D.C. and went marching. That march was both a display and a warning to those who want to reverse all the women's rights issues that have been accomplished over the past 8 years.

The lady next door doesn't care if you disagree with her. Neither do the hundreds of thousands of other women and girls who marched al over the nation and all over the world yesterday. They aren't going to allow a return to the past, period.

This is something you should think about, as everything they marched for affects you and your sisters and daughters too. Just as much as it affects them.

Are you proud of his outright lies? All people exaggerate and Trump is no different than Obama who was going to save me $2500 on health care

Are you proud of his mocking of the disabled? The media false reported the supposed mocking when in fact Trump has often used convulsive gestures to mimic the mannerisms of people including himself.

Are you proud of his love of Putin? I see no love but respect and believe a friendship with Putin and an understanding with Russia would benefit both countries.
Why do people keep asking me this? So, because Trumps a jerk we should have stupid people represent women?

You do know that Trump has been a celebrity obsessed NYC limo liberal his entire life...and still is one except most of the old celebs won't associate with him any longer.

Wow- you act as if this dude grew out of the ground in middle america and attended a one room schoolhouse. Amazing what people can convince themselves of.

If you laid out a line and picked someone who is as far as possible from ANYTHING resembling the "real" America, that would be DJT.

There is a reason that all the states where he lived and did his deeds (NJ, NY, CT, etc.) voted against him. They know who he is.

What they didn't know is how ignorant the rest of the country was/is....that these people wouldn't even do their basic homework to discover that every other word he speaks is a complete fabrication.

Good for the women. They have had enough. That's what it takes sometimes. You have to put your foot down and say "no more". You give these Republicans any leeway and they will trample the civil rights we have now. They aren't falling for any BS of Trumps or the Republican Party. Everybody knows that Republicans will let corporations pollute our air and water and then have the gall to get involved with our rights.

Do you know what they were protesting? You do understand these women just don't want a man grabbing them, nothing to do about the President. If Ted Cruz had won, he would have been to religious and the fake outrage would continue. These women are only fooling people who have never hung out with this kind of nasty women.

...and lived in a log cabin...and never told a lie. Honest to god, his supporter have likened him to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln over these past few days. How bizarre! They assign such modest attributes to a trust fund baby that has lived an elitist lifestyle in ivory towers for his entire life.

Great post and yes, as a New Yorker, I can say that we have known about this swindler form way back and are amazed that he was able to hoodwink so many gullible people. I tend to believe that they only knew him as a reality TV personality and actually based their opinion of him on that dumbed-down show of his.

Did Bill Clinton seek to take health care and reproductive rights away from every woman in America? No? Not the same thing, then.
