    Getting rid of Planned Parenthood by Trump's gestapo is a kin to genocide for poor women. That is worst than Islamic terrorism.

    Did someone tell those Trump women that they may lose their right to life when Trump does away with Planned Parenthood?

    Did you see the man who hit a woman in the face in the middle of a group of other women at this so called "women's rights" march?

    The Leftist women there not only let it happen, not only refused to object to the violence right before their eyes, but helped hide the man so he couldn't be arrested.

    Decent women don't do that.

    These woman don't realize how much Trump has helped them and no one on this thread has seen fit to point it out.

    Trump is the reason these fatties are in the streets walking and getting exercise. If he keeps it up and they keep marching who knows.....maybe in a year from now they'll have lost enough weight so that men will actually want to f-u-c-k them.

    That was an absolute freak show on Saturday. The fringe of the fringe.

    Lots of incoherent, stream of consciousness hate and delusion.

    Women’s March after-party soars with star-studded lineup
    jgoodman1271,Entertainment Weekly Sun, Jan 22 6:50 AM PST Comments Sign in to like Reblog on Tumblr Share Tweet Email

    Just hours after the Women’s March on Washington, actors, comedians, musicians, and politicians — ranging from the likes of SNL vet and Minnesota senator Al Franken to stand-up comedian Tig Notaro to iconic feminist singer Ani DiFranco — took the stage at Washington D.C.’s legendary 9:30 Club to raise money for Planned Parenthood in an event sponsored by the venue and Funny or Die and billed as the official after-party for the Women’s March. But while the historic march was estimated to have more than 500,000 attendees, with scores of celebrities milling about in the crowds, the 9:30 Club became an intimate living room where hosts Cameron Esposito and Rhea Butcher led a space full of patrons wearing (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) hats and shirts that read “the future is female” in hilarious, sometimes prolific, moments of support for Planned Parenthood and peaceful protest against Donald Trump’s inauguration. (A poster of Trump dressed up as a “TURD” hung on the drum kit all night.)

    The lineup was vague — “A night of music and comedy to benefit Planned Parenthood” — but as the show progressed with New Jersey senator Cory Booker ceding the floor to podcast duo Ronna and Beverly, who then had Lizzy Caplan join them onstage for a round of “chutzpah”-inspired jokes, it was clear that Funny or Die had assembled a star-studded, if ragtag, group of celebs who, like the attendees, wanted to have some fun, stand up for a cause, and goof off with their pals. As the night moved from comedy to motivational speeches to a full-fledged rock show that ended with a fiery performance from the National and a raucous DJ set from Samantha Ronson, the 9:30 Club became another safe haven for Trump dissenters in his new hometown.

    With stunning performances from Sleater-Kinney, Casey Wilson, June Diane Raphael, Sara Bareilles, and more, here were the best moments.

    1. Sleater-Kinney cover Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son” with a little help from some friends

    Sleater-Kinney had the best set of the night, performing their own songs “Call the Doctor,” “A New Wave,” “Jumpers,” and “Entertain,” before inviting The National’s Matt Berninger, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, and Dirty Projectors’ David Longstreth to sing backup on a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son.” They all rocked out, dancing around the stage and singing lyrics like “Some folks inherit star-spangled eyes / Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord / And when you ask them, ‘How much should we give?’ / They only answer, ‘More! More! More!'”


    2. Ani DiFranco shows the dream of the ’90s is alive… in D.C.

    Just days after releasing a new tribute song dedicated to former POTUS Barack Obama, ’90s singer-songwriter and outspoken feminist Ani DiFranco performed her 1998 track “Swan Dive,” eliciting major cheers during the line about tampons: “I’m going to do my best swan dive into shark infested waters / I’m going to pull out my tampon and start splashing around ’cause I don’t care if they eat me alive.”

    “Let none of us question anymore if it matters if we march,” DiFranco told the crowd. “I’ve heard of that lately. The feeling we all have today that’s going to carry us. All the hope we gave. It’s going to carry them.”

    She then moved into a performance of “Play God,” a 2016 track focusing on women’s reproductive rights. “Reproductive freedom is a civil right,” she said before playing. “It’s a civil rights issue. The stuff you need to be free in this society. This song comes from that place.” DiFranco played from her gut, snarling into the microphone while giving one of the most electric performances of the night with just one acoustic guitar.




    3. Tig Notaro “crowd-surfs”

    Known for her stand-up specials on cancer, death, and heartbreak — they’re funny! truly! — Tig Notaro used her time a wee bit differently than the night’s other performers. Hopping off the 9:30 Club stage, Notaro asked to “crowd-surf” and walked through the venue with a microphone, asking concertgoers why they were there and who they were fighting for. It was a moment of sobriety and unity in the packed music hall. Watch the entire thing below.

    4. Casey Wilson, June Diane Raphael, and Morgan Walsh read Yelp reviews of Donald Trump’s businesses

    They always say, never read the comments. The same is certainly true for some of Donald Trump’s businesses, which have some pretty damning Yelp reviews, according to Casey Wilson, June Diane Raphael, and Morgan Walsh, who performed dramatic readings of real reviews from his golf courses, hotels, and restaurants. Highlights include the dozens of patrons who commented on TVs in the bathroom mirrors and the runner who got lost on a jog, wound up at the Trump hotel, and praised a Trump-branded water bottle.

    5. Sara Bareilles leads a “Brave” singalong

    Sara Bareilles came onstage to introduce Cecile Richards and then led the crowd in an a cappella singalong of her 2013 song “Brave,” which was used extensively during Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. With the word “defy” written on her hand, Bareilles sang half the song with help from the audience before posing with Richards and the crowd for a big group photo.

    This was nothing but a popcorn fart. More Americans did not protest than did protest. So when you consider the "popular vote" dynamic this was a total failure.

    The women that let them grope them, LOTS we got viagra these days you know.

    So how about do you think women talk amongst themselves about their sexual encounters with men and do so in graphic detail?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yep and he already served two terms as President the second because you on the left cared not that he did. So what is your beef with Trump talking about sexual encounters with women who let him touch them?

    How is it rape if it is consensual? Can you try to focus a little and discuss the issue instead of your bromides?

    What don't you understand about "and then they let you". You don't get to change his words nor cherry pick the ones to which you listen.

    OH THAT's going to change people's minds and bring them over.

    There was a 30 million woman march on November 8. They marched to the voting booth and cast their ballot for Trump.

    Truer words were never spoken.

    Even the liberal pundits can't figure out what the message is supposed to be.

    "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)" SYMBOLISM AND THE MASKED HATRED OF THE WOMEN’S MARCH
    When vulgarity, emasculation and self-hate stands for empowerment.
    January 26, 2017 Dawn Perlmutter 37
    Share to Facebook333Share to TwitterShare to More175Share to Print

    "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)" was the primary symbolism and message of the January 21st Women’s March. From protest signs to the thousands of pink hats, it was in your face throughout the march.

    The hats with the cute little cat ears were called "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)hats" and were sponsored by the "Pink (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) Project". The women behind the '(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)hat Project" decided that inundating the National Mall with a million handmade, cat-eared knitted hats, dubbed "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)hats," was the perfect emblem of solidarity and support for women's rights. Their explanation was that the "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)hat" was a play on the word "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)cat" but also referenced President Donald Trump’s infamous comments on a hot microphone from an "Access Hollywood" video.

    They were successful. Both visually and substantially the Women’s March was characterized by cute cat-eared hats and the word "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)." Signs read: "Get Your Politics Out of my (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)"; "The (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) is watching" (which included a picture of a vagina); "My (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) My Choice My Body My Voice"; "My Neck, My Back, My (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) Will Grab Back"; "Stay (*)(*)(*)(*)y"; "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) Trumps Tyranny"; "Not My (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)dent"; "Fear The (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)"; "My Vagina has a better lineup than Trumps inauguration"; "Viva la Vulva" and much more. Other signs had images of fallopian tubes and vaginas. Several women were dressed as giant vaginas.

    On the Pink (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) Project website under the subtitle "Power of (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)," they explained the symbolism of their hats. “We chose this loaded word for our project because we want to reclaim the term as a means of empowerment.”

    Perhaps someone should have explained to them that a significant aspect of the original feminist movement was to stop the sexual objectification of women. Equating women’s rights with the theme of "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)" is not a revolution -- it is a devolution of women’s power. Reducing women to sexual objects was the substance of the criticism of President Trump’s private leaked conversation. If we follow the logic that was employed for the theme of the march, then there should have been women’s marches against Bill Clinton with thousands of women wearing torn pantyhose. They could have all bitten their lips in solidarity with the women President Clinton assaulted. They could have reclaimed the term "rape" as a means of empowerment and held up the exact same signs: "Get Your Politics Out of my (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)"; "Not My (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)dent."

    The few men that attended the march held signs that read "I’m with her"; "We All Should Be Feminists" and "Men of Quality Do Not Fear Inequality." The expression "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) whipped" arguably fit nicely into the Women’s March theme.

    These privileged, spoiled, angry women predicated their march on a locker room insult from 12 years ago. They could have had a platform on women who are sexually trafficked, on the millions of Muslim women who have no rights, on female genital mutilation, on prostitution, on honor killing, or on girls being sold into slavery. Instead they were more concerned about how they looked in their "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)hats" and who held the most creative vulgar sign. They should have tried to march with their placards and outfits in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Nigeria and any number of other countries. Then they would have seen what real persecution and injustice look like. Their march was literally a day in the park where they could go home safely afterwards and feel self-righteous -- as if they made a difference. However, their primary achievement was to stick their heads back in the sand instead of helping real persecuted women in any significant way. Indeed, they will not face the harsh realities of women being kidnapped and enslaved. And they will not acknowledge that the women who are doing their manicures and pedicures may be victims of human trafficking, or that they are endangering their little girls by dressing them provocatively. From their distorted self-hating worldview, sexual violence perpetrated by adversary cultures and ideologies is a myth.

    It is ironic that the "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)" theme is attributed to the new administration. But that word, if anything, might in fact be the perfect symbolism of the last administration -- which did not have the courage to maintain redlines, help 200 Nigerian schoolgirls that were kidnapped or protect Yazidi women, who are being tortured and raped everyday of their lives. It is an administration that had a female Secretary of State who left Americans in Benghazi to die.

    These "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)-themed" multi-city marches have actually been organized before. In 2000, Gloria Steinem, one of the grandmothers of contemporary feminism, declared that the heart-shaped symbol of Valentine's Day is not really a symbol of the human heart but a symbol of female genitalia because it resembles a vulva more than a heart. The symbol, according to Steinem, “was reduced from power to romance by centuries of male dominance.” Steinem's declaration resulted in a feminist war on Valentine’s Day where “the oppressive romantic trappings of Valentine's Day must be cleared away so the original genital power can shine through.” Since 2000, Valentine’s Day became known as Vagina Day, or V-Day for short and "(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)" marches started that year.

    Are Liberals Launching Their Own Tea Party?
    If they evolve into a sustained movement, the women’s marches could reorient the Democratic Party the way the circa-2009 conservative movement changed the GOP.

    Like whitecaps on the surf, thousands of homemade signs bobbed above the sea of protesters who surged through downtown streets in last weekend’s women’s march against President Trump in Los Angeles.

    The messages were blunt (“Trump is a racist”), earnest (“Kindness is everything”), witty (“Bad Hombre Raised by Nasty Woman”), and punctuated by variations on the theme that even the Secret Service couldn’t protect the new president if he tried to grab the sign-holder the way he described in his Access Hollywood video.

    But the most politically relevant message may have been written on a hand-lettered, four-word sign that inverted a famous catchphrase from Star Trek. “Resistance Is Not Futile,” it read.

    It’s easy to understand why Democrats would feel otherwise. In last November’s election, Hillary Clinton won more than 65.8 million votes. That was more than any candidate in American history except Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 (and he just barely beat her haul the second time). Clinton beat Trump in the popular vote by nearly 2.9 million votes. With that she marked the sixth time in the past seven presidential elections that Democrats have won the popular vote—a record unmatched since the formation of the modern party system in 1828.

    And yet, Democrats emerged from Trump’s inaugural completely excluded from federal power, with Republicans simultaneously controlling the White House, House, and Senate. In state governments, Democrats began the Trump era at a low ebb, too.

    So for many of those I spoke with, the march’s first purpose was to find reassurance that they were not isolated in their undiminished opposition to Trump. “More than anything we want to feel that we’re not alone,” said Mina Olivera from West Los Angeles, who marched with her husband and two children. “We just cannot be quiet and let it happen.”

    Olivera’s simple declaration captured what is likely to be the march’s most important political impact. The unprecedented turnout—which by the best estimates drew about one in every 100 Americans into the streets—sent the message that even after Trump’s upset victory there is a still a huge mass of Americans viscerally opposed to him. “We’re trying to show we have a voice and we’re not scared,” Roger Palencia, a marcher from Whittier, California, told me.

    4 women charged with vandalism after holding their own anti-Trump march
    POSTED AT 5:10 PM ON JANUARY 30, 2017 BY JOHN SEXTON

    Share on Facebook 26 26 SHARES
    Four women in Boone, North Carolina have been charged with vandalism after they spray painted progressive slogans around their home town. The Associated Press reports the women were identified as “22-year-old Taryn Bledsoe, 22-year-old Julia Grainger, 22-year-old Elizabeth Prier, and 21-year-old Hannah Seay, all of Boone.”

    The arrests were made last Friday but the vandalism spree actually took place early in the morning on January 21st, i.e. in the middle of the night after inauguration day. The women allegedly sprayed anti-Trump graffiti and various political slogans on businesses and a police car. “Black Lives Matter” was painted on a stone wall and also several times on one police vehicle. The phrase, “Ruled by White Supremacy” was painted on a store front. The damage caused by the vandalism spree is estimated to be around $10,000.

    Boone’s police chief, Dana Crawford, pointed out in a statement made before the arrests that the cost of repairing the damage would come from locals, including taxpayers:

    It is deeply disturbing that some people believe that they have the right to damage other people’s property and businesses to express their views in an unlawful way. While people have the right to disagree with any elected official, damaging innocent people’s property is not consistent with Boone values.

    The words “Black Lives Matter” was spray painted on several locations along with anti-police and anti-Trump slogans. In addition to the vandalisms reported earlier, a police vehicle parked at the town’s public works facility was spray painted with similar rhetoric. This is an offense against all of Boone. The cost of cleaning or repainting a police vehicle is not coming from President Trump but Boone taxpayers.
    But the four young women are likely to be paying a steep price as well. Each of them was charged with 7 counts of misdemeanor vandalism, plus another count of destruction of personal property. They were released on $1,500 bond.

    All of these stories about what women should not put inside their vaginas are by the same metro.co.uk writer.
