    Take that all up with whatever state you are in first, or claim to be in. They assign sales taxes. Not a damn thing
    you cited is under federal tax control.

    You need to get a grip.

    While I will agree that there are women's issues that have been ignored, those issues have been around for decades and have been ignored by not only Obama but prior democrat presidents.

    These women were out there because they don't like TRUMP. If they truly cared about the issues you mentioned they would have been marching during Obama's 8 year presidency when he did exactly squat for women.

    Seriously, all you have to do is search on Google. Did Obama solve anything, no, but he pushed it forward where as Trump is taking things way back. There IS an difference.

    Well there ya go........Obama solved NOTHING and yet no one marched against him. Those ever tolerant liberals wouldn't have dared do such a thing for fear of being labeled a racist by the other tolerant liberals.

    No one expects one person to solve anything.

    Yet, you are all over this board screaming the sky is falling because Trump was elected. Surely one man also can't ruin everything.

    So, again, why are those women marching?????

    Obama solved nothing during his 8 years AND THEY DIDN'T MARCH.

    They're pissed because they lost, nothing more, nothing less.

    I have to agree they were protesting Trump. Sure it was for things he's said and been accused of. To me, it's a pretty fitting time to say, 'Oh well, he won, sit down.'

    I don't mind protests though, it's good for exercise and if it makes folks feel good, so be it. It seemed the Women's March in US cities at least, went pretty good. They applied for and got permits. They were loud, but stayed where they were supposed to. They didn't shut down cities for the heck of it. They didn't keep people from getting into stores or other businesses.

    In Chicago, so many turned out they didn't march, it would have closed more streets than they planned on. The organizers agreed readily to leave it at speakers, no marching.

    I do have a problem with anarchy, which is what happened on Friday in parts of DC.

    Is that what you tell a wife who's a victim of abuse?

    Actually, he won. Time to move on. As I said, fine to go to a march if that floats your boat. Fine to get involved with someone's who will run against him or those that support him. Fine to write opinion piece and try and get it published or just spout off here.

    Stop the derangement though. I thought it over the top with both Bush and Obama. It's not constructive.

    @Trigg:

    You cannot preach common sense to a singular-minded idiot.

    Obama turned his back on admonishing the 'Occupy" movement;
    He turned his back on voter intimidation in Philadelphia;
    He turned his back on BLM riots, destruction, and assaults.

    You are right....pissed because they lost, and Pete needs a comfort animal.
