Lets Get This Fucking Straight...Wow, this is beginning to Piss Me Off!

[busterbrown]

I’ve heard too many times now from the Reporters covering todays events
that the marches aren't necessarily ant-trump in nature.

The Fuck they aren’t! As a matter if fact they are all about DONALD FUCKING TRUMP!

Right now.. there’s a problem getting the DC March Started...
Enough with the Speeches already.....I sense frustration.. But thats just because I’m the typical control freak Plenty of those around here... HA!

[underpants]

1. CNN is,labeling them Anti-Trump on their banner

[Generator]

8. Thank God for that

Oh reminds me of a protest sign I saw yesterday-Thank God for Trump slashed out with thank Putin. Ha. De fucking Ha. The best thing being around protesters is you are actually around people that KNOW something about what is really going on.

19. Just now CNN guest just said it..

Latin female actress former Sesame Star.. She was very nice..however, just didn’t seem to understand the question and was trying to keep everything positive.. She did mention how fearful kids can become with ugly rhetoric... WELL THATs TRUMP LADY! Sad..

[ffr]

27. Yup, Anti-Trump for sure.

I'll probably get in trouble for re-posting this, but I'm pretty upset with Amerika at the moment, so WTF. Here. goes.

2. Whatever reporters are saying that are idiots.

[shockey80]

3. I agree

This is about trump 100%.

[treestar]

4. I thought about that

Donald the Orange would claim they are there to show they support him somehow. Believe me, the women love me.

[UTUSN]

5. Same as in '08 when nobody would say what the "change" was about: Anybody&Anything But Shrub/CHEENEE

[workinclasszero]

6. They are still busy trying to normalize orange hitler

and his alt-right stormtroopers.

F them!

[wildeyed]

7. They most certainly are.

They were peaceful, but make no mistake, we stand ready to rise to protect ourselves if the situation demands. Some of us HEARD what Donald Trump said yesterday.

[Stellar]

9. What? Where did you hear that?

I'd like to call and give those A/H a piece of my mind!

[busterbrown]

12. NBC local coverage of L.A. March

and Cnn. D.C. coverage.... both were female on the ground reporters..
Took awhile to register on me..

[Stellar]

14. Still pisses me off.

[busterbrown]

16. And these were group discussions..

as the cameras were on the Marches.. So I never could mark the person who said it.

[coco22]

10. They are also..

anti Paul,Ryan,Mitch McConnell and the entire republiCON party who should be focused on harder..

[In_The_Wind]

11. I couldn't march but I sure as hell am wearing a pink hat while I drive around.

[busterbrown]

13. Great Job!

[Docreed2003]

15. AWesome!!!!

[StarryNite]

17. Excellent!

You go girl!!!

[In_The_Wind]

24. A lot of the locals took notice.

[bravenak]

26. I love it

[OKNancy]

18. CNN far better coverage this afternoon IMO

Switching back and forth. They said it was anti Trump

[busterbrown]

21. Good..

Just posted a comment about a CNN guest.. Former Sesame Star.. Lovely women and she stated WHEN ASKED.. If This was antitrump event? and she said it wasn’t.. I have a feeling she just didn’t get the question.. She was just trying to be positive and not negative... But she shouldn’t have said it..

[jodymarie aimee]

20. C-SPAN

and skip the clever corporate comments. Why give those shits ratings.....

[busterbrown]

22. Fair Question..

I am monitoring ...So I can react...to their failures... They broadcast to millions and we need to let them know that there will be formal boycotts.. effecting their advertising revenue.

[matt819]

23. Good point

I have a friend who is anti-Trump and he was pretty much convinced this was an anti-Hillary march.

Repeat after me: The Washington march, and every other demonstration around the world, had nothing to do with Hillary, or sore losing. These are anti-Trump demonstrations because he is a fascist, among other things.

[busterbrown]

25. Exactly....They also are not Women Liberation Protests either.

I support any and all Woman Rights Groups..My wife is at the protest today.

This protests is all about who Donald Trump is....and how if not prevented will destroy our country.

Woman’s Healthcare is on top of the list along with about 10 other movements neither more important than the other!

28. This is from the Women's March website-there is more info on there.

OUR MISSION

The rhetoric of the past election cycle has insulted, demonized, and threatened many of us - immigrants of all statuses, Muslims and those of diverse religious faiths, people who identify as LGBTQIA, Native people, Black and Brown people, people with disabilities, survivors of sexual assault - and our communities are hurting and scared. We are confronted with the question of how to move forward in the face of national and international concern and fear.

In the spirit of democracy and honoring the champions of human rights, dignity, and justice who have come before us, we join in diversity to show our presence in numbers too great to ignore. The Women’s March on Washington will send a bold message to our new government on their first day in office, and to the world that women's rights are human rights. We stand together, recognizing that defending the most marginalized among us is defending all of us.

We support the advocacy and resistance movements that reflect our multiple and intersecting identities. We call on all defenders of human rights to join us. This march is the first step towards unifying our communities, grounded in new relationships, to create change from the grassroots level up. We will not rest until women have parity and equity at all levels of leadership in society. We work peacefully while recognizing there is no true peace without justice and equity for all.

29. Calm down, buster : )

This is an extraordinary backlash.

The media has no recent referent by which to gauge this. Reporters are in unknown waters, at a loss; reports are off the cuff; let's give the media a few more hours to comprehend what the hell is happening.

The work of democracy can be messy and unsettling. Patience has limits, but a brief period of circumspect is warranted. No need to set fires in the street...yet.
