So I don't lose friends. Thanks :)

I was surprised how sparse the crowd was on Friday. If he'd let people know in advance he was going to channel Batmans arch nemesis Bane, I bet some comic geeks would have swung by.

Thanks. We'll see. The message board is mostly dominated by grouchy old guys. Not what I was expecting.

Hey ! Grouchy old men need love too.

Wow, that's a quick call on who will be "the most unpopular president of the modern era." Just because protests/rallies occurred?

Actually, from what I read the DC women's march, replicated in many states (mine included), were peaceful (compared with riots, looting, destruction of property) and called attention to specific concerns (reproductive rights, gay rights, immigration, health care, diversity and climate change, to name a few cited in our newspaper).

In my state, one women hoped to rally 100 through her Facebook post, and 4000 came to the state capitol grounds. Organization speakers attended and spoke. The City Director criticized Trumps previously stated view on education and his Education Department nominee. The chairman of the state Board of Education criticized bills targeting foreigners living in the state illegally.

I bring this forward not to espouse any of my views, most of the above of which aren't on my mind at all, and frankly I'm not one to attend rallies in the cold and rain (which it was here). But I bring it forward as one way that John or Jane Q. citizen can begin to be effective in bringing attention to concerns, whatever yours and mine are.

Rally like minded folks, have an agenda, seek out your local leaders, councilmen, senators and representatives, learn who sits on/is head of relevant committees at state and national level, learn the process for gaining audience with these people, bringing well composed position statements, how to keep your issue in front of them even if you manage to get a bill onto a committee agenda, even if it fails the first time what to do next.

But that Women's DC March served a purpose, bringing quick attention to the new POTUS and any other movers and shakers that they are a voice to be given attention to.

That's all.

I assume that many of these Liberal women have penises, so this may have helped alleviated the urinal congestion. Do Liberal women with peepees (that's the technical term) also have to sit down when urinating?

"admitted sexual assaulter"? What in the world are you talking about mal? Would love a source and not the one about grabbing pussy, that's talk, no fact whatsoever. Where was the march of a sitting pres. getting a blowjob from a young inter in the oval office no less. Where's the outrage in that?

ea, the Rep. view is responsible for the dems losing over a thousand elected positions in the past 8 years concerning womens rights. That's a screaming endorsement of your statement Mal.

BTW the crowd was bigly impressive, local news doesn't have it close to a million. Bigger than inauguration, but not hat big.

It's perfectly OK to respond to a "bowling ball grip" with a kick to the shins.
Better, is a stomp on the foot and when the 'perp' bends over,an elbow to the neck.If you are too slow,a knee to the chin,same leg.
One fluid motion.

Really. You think the march was for shits and giggles. How about get your grubbies off my bodies rights.

Yet no protests against Bill Clinton. Please, please, please explain. I'm looking forward to this.
