and much to my disappointment - little to no coverage yet. I'm hoping the news shows quit talking about Trump's tweets and this shutdown (sh*tdown) and start focusing on this Women's March.

(25,263 posts)the news shows are starting to cover the March now. Initially - all they talked about was the Sh*tdown and Trump's tweets.
I was hoping for a bigger turnout this year than last - so we could rub Trump's face in that too.
