The Women's March

photo 531003ec-fb56-4167-9d6e-7f261ba1c327.jpg

It was epic, it was sweeping, it was historic, and it helped millions of men, women, and children around the world get over the worst election in American history.







Will it change the fact that Donald Trump is President? No. Will it send a message to conservatives that we will not sit down and shut up and let them run the show? Yes! So at least there is hope that someone is paying attention.

From New York Mag: "Don't Let Anybody Tell You the Marches Didn't Matter
It matters that Trump drew a sparse crowd to inaugural festivities that he had billed beforehand as a historic, Jacksonian uprising of The People. And it matters much more that millions of Americans came out on a Saturday to register their protest. It is not only catharsis, though catharsis is better than depression. The message has been heard by the political class, Republican and Democratic alike.

Final Trump vs. Clinton Debate 2016

photo Debate 3.png

And the whole country sighed with relief when it was over.

However, Trump gave a caveat when asked if he would accept the results of the election in November if he loses, as most polls tell us that he will:

Via NPR
When first asked, Trump refused to say yes, replying in part, "I will look at it [the election results] at the time." When pushed on the issue, Trump told Wallace, "I'll keep you in suspense."



Stephen Colbert let him have it on Trump's "suspense":

Oh my God. That's...uh...what's the word?
(Shows tape of Hillary saying "horrifying" during the debate)
That's it! Thank you! Thank you!
(Stephen blows kiss to Hillary/camera - crowd cheers)
I want to make sure I heard that correctly.
(Plays Trump saying "I'll keep you in suspense")
Oh! Oh - Suspense! Democracy's going to end with a cliffhanger. I guess we're all going to have to wait until November 9th to find out if we still have a country! If Donald Trump is in the "mood" for a peaceful transfer of power. Or if he's just going to wipe is fat ass with the Constitution!



The day after the debate, Donald doubled down, saying he would only accept a win, not a loss:

Via NPR
In front of an exuberant crowd Thursday in Delaware, Ohio, Donald Trump again addressed whether he would accept the outcome of the November election.

"Ladies and gentleman I want to make a major announcement today," Trump said, continuing, "I would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters, and to all of the people of the United States, that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election - if I win"

That Repulsive Trump Tape

photo 093b9a91-df35-47b2-b971-e0d184ad06fa.jpg

A tape was released last week on which Donald Trump talked about assaulting women and grabbing them "by the p***y." Over the weekend his own party members began to flee the sinking Trump Ship, but that wasn't enough to force any regret out of the candidate. In fact, during his second debate with Hillary Clinton on Monday night, Trump waved it all off as "locker room talk," as if that makes everything okay.

Original Tape: Warning, Offensive Language








Via The Atlantic
“Grab them by the p***y. You can do anything.”
. . . The Trump video features a long list of offensive comments.
“I moved on her like a bi*ch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married,” Trump says. “Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.”
As actress Arianne Zucker approaches to lead them on to the set, Trump continues, “I’ve gotta use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.”










































Trump Apologists















Fallout? Trump Will Lose in November!

Bernie Gives Hillary the Hand of Silence

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CNN hosted another Dem Debate on Sunday night and it mostly went well for both candidates. At least their remarks weren't in the gutter like the GOP candidates in their last debate, thank God.

But Bernie is a grumpy guy and when Hillary dared to interrupt him, he waved his hand in her face and growled "Excuse me, I'm talking." That may not seem like much in an election season when the GOP candidates are yelling at each other incoherently every chance they get.

But here's the thing - no women needs to be put in her place this way, and Hillary has a right to defend herself even to Bernie. He has to be held accountable for his personality and mannerisms, since being a President is somewhat a cult of personality vote. If she as a woman had interrupted him that rudely while waving a finger towards him, pundits would be calling her a shrieking harpy. Oh wait, MSNBC pundits Chris Matthews and Lawrence O'Donnell called her voice "shrill" a few nights ago. Funny, they never talk about Bernie's nasel twang or the fact that he yells constantly!

From the New York Times
When he attacked Mrs. Clinton over what he called “the Wall Street bailout where some of your friends destroyed the economy,” she tried to cut him off.

“Excuse me, I’m talking,” he said.

After a brief dramatic pause, Mrs. Clinton said sharply, “If you’re going to talk, tell the whole story.”

“Let me tell my story and you tell yours,” Mr. Sanders shot back.

Hillary Landslide in South Carolina Primary

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Hillary was on fire in the South Carolina Primary, getting the majority of Democratic votes in every single county, much to the chagrin of Bernie Sanders and his followers. Originally it was thought that Bernie at least did better with Caucasion folks, but Hillary took away that demographic, too.

And she gave one of the most inspirational speeches of her entire career - must watch! She vowed that "Tomorrow this campaign goes national" as she sails into Super Tuesday in a good place to win big in many states.

Schlong and Short of It ~ Trump Plays Misogyny Card Against Hillary

photo trump - nope.jpg

Donald Trump is a big, loud, hateful Misogynist. So what else is new?

When Hillary had to take a bathroom break during the latest Democratic debate, Trump made his disgust known:

From Washington Post:
"I know where she went -- it's disgusting, I don't want to talk about it," Trump said, screwing up his face, as the crowd laughed and cheered. "No, it's too disgusting. Don't say it, it's disgusting."

Disgusting - because I guess men never go to the bathroom, right?

Bernie Sanders opined: “This is a guy who wants to be president of the United States. He must have a very unusual relationship with women.”

Unusual, indeed. He hates women.

Trump also said that Obama beating Hillary during the 2008 Primary was a case of her getting "Schlonged." Yes, "Schlonged." And he used it as a verb, which makes it rather a synonym for "F***ed."

TRUMP: Let me just tell you. I may win, I may not win. Hillary, that's not a president. That's not -- she's not taking us -- everything that's been involved in Hillary has been loss. You take a look, even a race to Obama, she was going to beat Obama. I don't know who would be worse. I don't know. How does it get worse? But she was going to beat -- she was favored to win and she got schlonged.



Rachel Maddow believes Trump was confusing "Schlonged" which is Yiddish for "penis," with "Shellacked," meaning beaten:

MSNBC Transcript: Rachel Maddow:
“The Washington Post” reports today the only other time that Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has been known in public to use the word, forgive me, schlonged, was in 2011 when he was talking about that same 2016 midterm election, that same midterm election in which President Obama very famously described it as having been shellacked and everybody talked about that midterm election using the word shellacking. Donald Trump in 2011 tried to talk about the 2010 shellacked midterms and instead he came out with the term schlonged.

. . . So, maybe this is like a malaprop.

A "malaprop" or "malapropism" means a mistake in word choice, referring to Mrs. Malaprop, a character in the play "The Rivals" by Richard Sheridan, 1775. The character nearly always chooses the wrong word for what she means, which makes her quite humorous to audiences. But Maddow went on to say she didn't believe her own theory:

I told you this was a bad theory. I don`t actually believe this. I don`t actually believe he meant something else and it came out wrong but you know what, it`s Christmastime, and it`s sometimes nice to imagine a nicer world than the one in which we live, one where the Republican Party`s leading presidential candidates, at least their leading presidential candidate, one of them, says stuff like this and does stuff like this.


In fact, Trump has not admitted making any mistakes with that word, and his spokesperson Katrina Pearson played dumb about it on CNN Via Crooks and Liars:
LEMON: Do you think that was -- Katrina, was that off the cuff? Because schlonged usually means, you know, something else.

PIERSON: Well, I think he was meaning like schlonged to the ground, schlonged around, I mean, are we really talking about the definition of a word of Hillary Clinton?

WILSON: Oh, he did not, Katrina. Come on, don't even try that.

PIERSON: What is -- what is schlonged in, Rick? Why don't you tell me what schlong means.

Trump on Twitter:





Hillary's spokesperson tweeted:



Trump then accused Hillary and her camp of playing the "Woman are Degraded Card"



That statement caused Michaela Pereira of CNN to state this on air:

“Is it a card? She is a woman, it’s not really a card.”

But Trump can't stop, and decided to attack Bill Clinton next! Talk about holier than thou! How many times has Trump been divorced again???

#NRA Portrays Gun Control Activist Shannon Watts as a Stepford Wife

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The National Rifle Association is always proud when a woman straps on a gun and walks through Target or Home Depot, but they really despise women who want gun control. That's why in a recent article, the NRA is attacking Shannon Watts, the activist Mom who created "Moms Demand Action."

In an article called "Not Watt She Seems," NRA has chosen to demean Watts by making her the caricature of a 50's retro paper-doll housewife surrounded by household objects such as a feather duster, an iron, and a spatula. In essence, the NRA is depicting women as Stepford Wives.

photo d6856b09-bf9d-4e1f-b3f9-879853cc6940.jpg

From the Article in America's First Freedom Zmag
MICHAEL BLOOMBERG IS BANKROLLING “MOMS DEMAND ACTION,” WITH SHANNON WATTS AS HIS STAND-IN, STAY-AT-HOME MOM.
BUT A CLOSER LOOK REVEALS HER COVER STORY TO BE PAPER-THIN.
Ms. Watts was not an activist or involved in gun issues prior to the shootings at Sandy Hook on Dec. 14, 2012. The day after the tragedy, she started a Facebook page called Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America....
. . . The registered address for her pr firm was a residence, so presumably she was running her pr firm out of her house. Her children were all well into school-age or older, so it’s likely that she had plenty of time to run her business during the day. Watts’ biography on Linkedin.com states that she ran the public relations firm until June 2012. Also, for the 20 months ending in June 2012, she was a consultant for the large public relations firm FleishmanHillard. Also, in May 2010, Watts and her husband opened the Watts Fine Art gallery in Zionsville, Ind. There’s nothing wrong with that, except “running a streetfront art gallery plus public relations business from my house” is not the impression conveyed by “stay-at-home mom.”

Shannon Watts, via Chicago Tribune
"The idea that I might be able to stay home and do something other than cook and clean seems beyond their grasp," Watts says. "They believe real moms wear dresses from the 1950s and use rotary telephones and iron — which, in my opinion, is what the dryer is for."
The image is an odd move for an organization so actively courting women to join their ranks.
"For them to denigrate women, who make up the majority of the electorate, seems incredibly short-sighted," Watts says.

Rebranding?

The NRA ultimately loses the argument by insisting that Watts has no right to be as accomplished as she is, since she calls herself a stay-at-home mother. That is insulting to all women throughout history, It seems as if Wayne La Pierre believes the old cliche of women being "just a housewife," as if women were ever "just" anything.

The ironic thing about the NRA's argument is that it portrays Watts as both an accomplished and effective activist, so they are admitting they have a Renaissance woman as an adversary. And now that they are throwing down the gauntlet, even bringing the ages of her children into their criticism, they deserve whatever despicable fate awaits them in the future.

Watts and @MomsDemand fought back in social media with the hashtag #MomsNotMaids and graphics making fun of the NRA's backward and sexist view of women.

Sarah Palin Tosses a Vegan Word Salad at Elizabeth Warren

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good Old Sarah Palin never disappoints. Her latest word salad from her jumbled mind is that Libruls like Elizabeth Warren never eat fast food, and certainly not meat. We're all a buncha them thar' Vegans - you know, people who don't even want to build a big fire and roast the moose after God lets us shoot one of 'em from a helicopter. I love how she equates being a Vegan to being in Purgatory, as if eating meat sends us straight to heaven. Maybe it does if you think about hardening of the arteries, but I digress . . .

The real Purgatory is having to watch the Sarah Palin Channel.

Also too, we really have to wonder, ya know, if her verbal skills are a sign of, oh, I don't know, meeebeee early Dementia. Well, probably not. But still, and probably forever, Palin sounds like someone with too much anesthesia after a wisdom tooth operation. But all the time.

Also notice that Palin is dressed exactly like Warren and has blurred the video on purpose! A sharp-eyed @KatieAnnieOakley has screen-capped her doing this type of thing more than once, comparing Palin to the movie "Single White Female." LOL



So here are some of her ramblings. You really have to watch the video to get the full effect of the nutty delivery, though.
Full Video is Here on the Palin Channel.

We believe -- wait, I thought fast food joints -- don't you guys think that they're like of the devil or something? Liberals, you want to send those evil employees who would dare work at a fast food joint that you just don't believe in -- I don't know, I thought you wanted to send them to purgatory or something. So they all go vegan. And wages and picket lines, I don't know, they're not often discussed in purgatory are they? I don't know, why are you even worried about fast food wages? Well, we believe -- an America where minimum wage jobs, they're not lifetime gigs, they're stepping stones to sustainable wages. It teaches work ethic.
. . . We believe women have a right to their bodies, just like babies have a right to their living, breathing bodies nestled in a mother's womb. Hey, and anyone who wants contraception, more power to you. Continue to freely buy any kind you want, no one's stopping you. We'll fight for the right of private businesses, including Hobby Lobby, to work with you, figure out health care coverage yourselves any way the owners of those businesses -- that they built themselves -- any way they want to.

Um, that's spelled "$arah" and she's just doing some griftin' and mind-driftin' to save this Godly nation and provide for her and her family. This patriotic family only wish to serve America and to humbly continue to live the life to which they have recently become accustomed. Needless to say, an infusion of monthly revenue from a mere 10,000 subscribers would do quite nicely to assist with the latter. The new spread in Arizona wasn't cheap.
