Thousands of people in Santa Ana joined more than a million worldwide Saturday for the Women’s March to protest the administration of Donald J. Trump and call for equal treatment of women, minorities and immigrants.

The diverse group of marchers — numbering at least 10,000 — started at the intersection of Fourth and French streets around 9:30 a.m. and took a route down Santa Ana Boulevard to Ross Street and then down Third Street to the Yost Theater in the heart of downtown.

Chants of “A people united will never be divided” and “Yes we can” filled the cool morning air, and many of the women wore pink knitted hats — called “pussyhats” — and held signs with sayings like: “Keep your tiny hands off my rights,” “immigrants welcome, fascists not,” and “IKEA has more qualified cabinets.”

Marchers were creative with their signs.

Marcher Doshanna Bell said that it was time for women to lead. “The men no longer know how to do it and we queens need to rise up.”

Judy Veiga, a special needs instructor in Tustin, said she was marching for her students to show the Trump administration that there are voices who will stand up and fight for the rights of those who can’t do so themselves.

The last of the marchers finished the route around 11:15 a.m., and Santa Ana Police Commander Ruben Ibarra said the protest was peaceful and no arrests had been made as of 3 p.m.

Santa Ana’s March was one of many held across the nation and the world in what marked the largest mass protest of a U.S. president’s inauguration in history.

The Washington Post reported that the main march, the Women’s March on Washington, drew at least 500,000 people. As many as 750,000 marched in Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Other marches were held in New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego, and places as far flung as Paris and Melbourne, Australia.

Joining the marchers in Santa Ana were organizations including: Planned Parenthood of Orange County and San Bernardino, Greenpeace and Pantsuit Nation. Labor unions also turned out, as did LGBTQ organizations and immigrant rights groups.

And there were plenty of men on hand as well.

Tom Turnley, a gay man from the Midwest, said he was out there to help prevent the civil rights clock from being turned back. He said he grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and understands the plight of marginalized groups.

“I know what it feels like to be the ‘other,’” Turnley said. “I fear we’re slipping back into a time of fear and repression.” He made it clear he was there to support women first, because they “were the most marginalized group.”

Umer Tawfic, a West African immigrant from Ghana, said he was also marching to prevent America from going backwards.

“You really have to respect the voice of the people,” Tawfic said, aiming his comment at Trump’s administration. “It would be disastrous if America were to fall back … America is like a role model to everybody (around the world).”

Jacqueline Bustamante said complacency is to blame for Trump’s election.

“For so many years we stayed quiet because we were comfortable, then we got slapped,” Bustamante said, adding that she didn’t realize how prevalent racism was in other parts of the country. “I think we’re going to get stronger.”

California is lost in its own dysfunctional alternative universe way beyond any particular political party affiliation…wasn’t that second line you used more appropriately descriptive of the recent anatomical genitalia hat wearing women’s march… 🙂

To those whom are confused or surprised about why millions of people showed up to protest Saturday. . .
“Women are marching because our children deserve a secretary of education that cares about education.”

“Women are marching because our family and friends deserve healthcare.
Did you know that before the ACA, newborns in the NICU would hit their
lifetime caps on health insurance coverage. That’s right, Babies who had
never felt the sun on their skin could no longer get health insurance.”
“Women are marching because domestic violence crisis centers and after school programs deserve funding.”
“Women are marching because we deserve clean air, clean water, and national parks.”

“Women are marching because we believe the children protected by the
DREAM act deserve to be here and they deserve to live with their
parents, not in orphanages and foster homes.”
“And most of all,
women are marching because we have the right to. The right to protest
and speak out against our government is the first amendment. That’s
right, #1! It is one of our most fundamental American rights.”

“Saying that we’re whining, throwing temper tantrums, or that we’re
immature, or that we need to get over it will not stop us. It will not
stop us from fighting for you. And we are fighting for you because you
deserve these rights too.”
“We’re not marching because Trump won”

“We’re marching because he wants to take all of the things that we hold
dear away. All of the things that we’ve been fighting for for
generations.”
“And we’re not giving up easily.”
“Anyone who thinks we’re marching because we lost just simply isn’t listening. We’re fighting because we refuse to lose more.”

  Imagine a secretary of education that is more concerned with children getting a quality education and giving under privileged children the opportunity of better school choice in the countless inner city failing school systems. The absolute horror of it all…..
  
  The Teachers Unions must be very upset and howling at the moon that they are going to be held accountable to doing the job teachers were hired to do; actually teach our children. If not, parents will be provided a better alternative, and those failing teachers and districts will hear the words YOUR FIRED.
  
  The days of the liberal indoctrination and public employee union monopolies throughout the nations school systems are now behind us. You can whine, march, and cry all you wish; because that is not going to change the coming reality.

  A Message of love & togetherness, women’s rights, & women’s equality?
  
  Linda Sarsour, a national co-chair of the Women’s March on Washington
  – whose stated mission is “to send a bold message…that women’s rights
  are human rights” – is also an outspoken advocate of Islamic Sharia Law that restricts the rights of women, claiming Sharia is “reasonable” and has simply been “misunderstood.”
  
  “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,” the Women’s March mission statement says, in part.
  
  Sarsour, a Palestinian Muslim American, who has said she believes that America is a nation built on the values of genocide and slavery and that “nothing is creepier than Zionism,” spoke at the Women’s March last Saturday.
  
  Sarsour has openly supported Sharia law, a legal system that treats women much differently than men and punishes lawbreakers with flogging, amputation, and stoning.
  
  Saudi Arabia is governed by Sharia law, and women there are “controlled by a man from birth until death” according to Human Rights Watch. Saudi women must obtain male permission to travel, marry, and even to exit prison.
  
  It is illegal for Saudi females to drive. In late 2014, Saudi authorities caught two women driving and detained them for 73 days.
  
  But Sarsour expressed her indifference to the illegality of female driving in Saudi Arabia, tweeting: “10 weeks of PAID maternity leave in Saudi Arabia. Yes PAID. And ur worrying about women driving. Puts us to shame.”
  
  any comdemnation coming?

Good report, Spencer. Thanks. It’s a shame some people feel it is appropriate to attack a news organization for simply covering an event that happened in the county. It would seem to be an effort to impose censorship.
verifiedsane

It was the MSM calling out and using the term “p_ssy” hats; as well as broadcasting the whole gambit of blatant vulgarity, and the calls for violence/insurrection being spewed by the so called liberal and tolerant celebrities in print, television, and cable. Maybe you shouldn’t be running articles on such profane infused marches that promote such unapproved word/thought vulgarity.

If the media didn’t employ these kinds of hypocritical double standards, they would have no standards at all. Have a nice day!

  Why didn’t those women march after Bill Clinton r*ped and s*xually assaulted several women and used his presidential power to seduce an intern a third of his age for some under the desk action in the Oval Office? Why all the silence from the feminists who are pro-women and hate s*xual predators like Bill?
  
  And why didn’t the feminists protest Hillary who defended her s*xual predator husband while trash talking his s*xually abused female victims.
  
  Why do you think Bill Clinton paid Paula Jones $850,000? Why no marches?
  
  And then there’s Hillary accepting million dollar plus Clinton Foundation Fund donations from Saudi Arabia – where women are routinely mutilated, beaten, slapped around, arrested and even killed for having the nerve to think for themselves? Why no marches?
  
  And you think Trump is a misogynist??? lol.

    Why haven’t those same women marched and protested the Hollywood record industry that for years has marketed and made ghetto hip hop and rappers millionaires by telling us about their “bitches and Ho’s?”

        Umm, because rappers and other music artists are not the POTUS who has the ability to make and drive policy that will affect their lives.
        The fact that anyone would find these two remotely comparable displays such a lack of understanding of political realities that I must chalk these comments up to parody. Ha ha … not.
      - LFOldTimer
        
        But the rappers and other music artists are a detrimental influence to the young people and spread metastatic anti-female sentiment throughout our society with their vulgar descriptions of women.
        
        Rappers and other music artists have a much greater influence on the caustic attitudes toward women than Donald Trump has.
        
        Open your mind.

        My reply quoting our new POTUS has been held up by this site, nuff said.
      - LFOldTimer
        
        Your response doesn’t make any sense to me.
        
        So do you want me to quote the rapper and hip hop ‘musicians’ with their lyrics that defile, degrade and humiliate women?
        
        Are you a woman, justanon? Do you approve of vulgar lyrics targeting women in hip hop music? Do the feminists approve of it? If not, they why no protests?
      - justanon
        
        Why would I care what any artist says? They are NOT in a position to make policy that will affect people’s lives.
        
        Trump is on record saying many vile and vulgar things and women have accused him of doing vile and vulgar things.
        
        Only Trump is in a position to make policy that affects people’s lives.
        
        Stop trying to pretend that there isn’t a difference there.
      - LFOldTimer
        
        Musical artists influence ATTITUDES of young people.
        
        When they use vulgar descriptions of women it influences others to do the same. Young people listen to that garbage and mimic it. Why don’t you and the feminists protest that?
        
        Trump is not proposing any policies that degrade women. Trump had a female campaign director. Her name is Kellyanne Conway. And now she is a White House executive with the title of Counselor to the President. So Trump actually promotes and honors women with high-ranking positions on his staff. But, of course, you would overlook that. Wouldn’t you?
        
        The Trump haters aren’t protesting for women’s rights. They’re protesting because they are progressive feminist liberals and are mad someone with XY chromosomes lost to Trump.

        Trump and the Republican congress are going to be awful for women and they know it. From the defunding of the ACA to his gag order on our scientists, his policies are already shaping up to be a disaster not just for women, but for everyone.
        Trying to pretend that Kellyanne Conway shows that Trump is good for women is just pathetic, that’s like pointing out that Hitler liked his dog.
        Only someone completely clueless about women’s issues would put forth such a weak argument.
      - LFOldTimer
        
        Oh nonsense. Now you’re just making stuff up for the dramatization effect. ACA is a proven failure for anyone who is forced to buy Obamacare insurance. Premiums and deductibles are skyrocketing. And they can’t even keep their own doctors. No scientist is being gagged. Trump just wants to prevent more fraudulent data on global warming from getting published that misleads the public.
        
        Comparing Kellyanne Conway to a dog is both vulgar and degrading to women. You sure have some nerve to accuse Trump of being sexist.
      - justanon
        
        Actually, no the ACA was not a failure, it was just dragged down by conservatives who wanted Obama to fail and the country-be-d*mned.
        Access to good quality healthcare is not just important to women, but all americans. That’s why the republicans having eight years to come up with a replacement for the ACA, haven’t. They only know how to tear down.
        A gag order by any other name is still a gag order. If Obama had done it republican heads would’ve exploded.
        I did not compare Kellyanne to a dog, I guess metaphors are too complex for you. To put it in more simple terms, doing one good thing doesn’t absolve one of all the bad things one does. Get it now?

    Didn’t Trump’s ex-wife swear in a deposition that he raped her? Didn’t a woman come forward and say Trump raped her when she was 13 and threatened to kill her family if she didn’t keep quiet and wasn’t this claim backed up by another woman?
    Doesn’t Trump have business dealings all over the mid-east with plans to expand his hotel chain there?
    Why the selective outrage LF?
    - LFOldTimer
      
      An ex-wife claiming that her former husband committed a crime? Gee, how unusual. Was Trump criminally investigated for r*pe? Why not?
      
      Why do all those women wait 10 to 30 years after the fact to claim that Trump r*ped them – during his campaign for President? Don’t you find that suspicious, justanon?
      
      If you were a woman and someone r*ped you – would you report it immediately or wait 10 to 30 years?
      
      Trump is a businessman. Everybody knew that when he ran for office and voted him to be our 45th President. Get over it.

        Didn’t Clinton’s accusers also wait years to bring allegations?
        
        Trump pulled a big con and some fools bought the snake-oil. Too bad they will never have the brain cells or the integrity to acknowledge it.
      - LFOldTimer
        
        No. Paula Jones complained a short time after she was assaulted and was ignored until she filed suit that resulted in Bill Clinton paying her $850,000.
        
        The Monica Lewinski scandal was exposed just after the affair.
        
        You don’t answer my questions directly. You only circumvent and deflect. I actually answer your questions.
        
        Trump is no angel. But in comparison to Bill Clinton he walks on water.
        
        The libs and feminists voluntarily swallow Clinton’s snake oil without a complaint.
      - justanon
        
        Actually Paula Jones kept quiet for three years (and the court dismissed the harassment lawsuit before trial, on the grounds that Jones failed to demonstrate any damages) and his affair with Monica was consensual.
        But again, all of that is old news and right now we have a mentally ill, pervert in the White House who will be deciding policy and that is what women and men were protesting/sounding the alarm about on Saturday.
      - LFOldTimer
        
        Why would Clinton settle with Jones for $850,000 if he did not s*xually violate her? Because he felt generous and she needed the money?
        
        Monica was a 22 year old intern about a 3rd Clinton’s age when he used his presidential influence (as a married man) to seduce her in the Oval Office. What a pig!!! And then he lied about it to the American people on national TV and perjured himself in court over it, losing his law license as a result!!! WHY NO FEMINIST PROTEST AGAINST BILL CLINTON AT THE TIME??? Oh, wait!!! I forgot!!! HE WAS A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT!!!! HA!
        
        Trump has done more in the first 6 days in office than Obama did in 8 years. Today he blocked all federal funds to sanctuary cities and verified by executive order that the wall will get built and Mexico will pay for it!!!
        
        DEAL WITH IT!!!!
      - justanon
        
        He paid Paula Jones off because he wanted to get on with his presidency. Bill did not seduce Monica, it was a consensual relationship and she has been quoted saying so.
        
        But if you’re going to drag out the Paula Jones payment well, I’ve got a payment 25 times that high for you to defend.
        
        So just why would Trump pay 25 million dollars for fraud?
        I’ll tell you why, because not only is he a proven pervert, he’s also a crook!
        
        I think you’re going to need all the caps and exclamation points you can muster these next 4 years as you’ll have a lot of deflecting to do, ha, ha, ha.
      - LFOldTimer
        
        “He paid Paula Jones off because he wanted to get on with his presidency.Bill did not seduce Monica, it was a consensual relationship and she has been quoted saying so.”
        
        With that answer you’ve lost all credibility with me. You’ve resorted to silliness at a juvenile level.
        
        I choose to end our discussion.

        Yeah, when the facts don’t fit your ‘beliefs’ you just pack it in I a big huff.
        Of course, you support Trump, he’s you.
        If you were honest and interested in the truth you could look up Monica’s words yourself, but of course that would require integrity, something you and your POTUS both lack.

        Like today, Trump inappropriately tweets about trade with Mexico and the President of Mexico called his bluff. Trump embarrassed himself and the office and was once again exposed for the buffoon that he is. And then they added to the disaster by suggesting that they’d slap a 20% tariff on imports from Mexico (to force them to pay for the wall), they were too stupid to realize that would be a tax on Americans.

        The Dums still don’t get it! YOU LOST! Deal with it! The nation has a new direction and agenda….all the nutty leftist propaganda, insurrectionist behavior, name calling, and protest/marches (that are organized/funded by the very same globalist elites liberals who have failed America for the past eight years and beyond) won’t change the current reality or the facts. The power has shifted right, and the pendulum has swung against socialist liberalism.
        
        So please keep up the fake news, communist rhetoric, and the ridiculous attacks…it will make no difference what so ever in the end.

        Philanderer: There’s the infamous incident where trump brought his mistress to the same ski lodge that he and his family were at and his wife and the mistress had a cat-fight on the ski slopes.
        
        Sex-offender: trump is on tape saying he just “grabs women by the p*ssy, his ex-wife swore in a deposition that he raped her and more than a dozen women have come forward to say that trump assaulted them.
        
        Ignorant: There are numerous examples, but I don’t have to go back any further than yesterday to find one.
        “I am very proud now that we have a museum on the National Mall where people can learn about Reverend King, so many other things, Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more…”
        
        Compulsive liar: Again, no one would even attempt to claim that isn’t true. So many lies, but hey, the most recent notorious one is about the size of his inauguration crowd. The mall was half empty and did you see his parade? There was no one in the stands, lol.
        
        Mentally ill: The man’s a narcissist, again so many examples, but even just yesterday at his laughable Black History Month “speech” he again talked mostly about himself.
        “I’m proud to honor this heritage and will be honoring it more and more. The folks at the table in almost all cases have been great friends and supporters. Darrell—I met Darrell when he was defending me on television. And the people that were on the other side of the argument didn’t have a chance, right? And Paris has done an amazing job in a very hostile CNN community. He’s all by himself. You’ll have seven people, and Paris. And I’ll take Paris over the seven. But I don’t watch CNN, so I don’t get to see you as much as I used to. I don’t like watching fake news. But Fox has treated me very nice. Wherever Fox is, thank you.”

        “The power to label ideas, events, groups, and individuals was central to N*zi propaganda efforts. Such labels made clear who were the heroes and who were the enemies. In the process, the N*zis defined themselves as the guardians of the “true” Germany and of the nation’s glorious past. The N*zis also found ways to suppress ideas that they believed contradicted National Socialist ideology. They organized public book burnings, censored newspapers, published lists of banned books and authors, and prohibited “offensive” artists from displaying their work…”

What’s totally ironic is that the Democrat Party has always marketed itself as anti-war, anti-big business, anti-corruption, anti-establishment, etc…

Hillary represented the very essence of war, big business (Wall Street), corruption (Clinton Foundation Fund) and establishment politics (pay to play). But the hypocrite progressives overlooked all her warts. Trump actually represents the opposite. He wants to disband NATO, stop being the world’s policeman, has not taken a dime from Wall Street, has attacked the pharmaceutical companies, and is considered to be the anti-establishment President who has NEVER HELD AN ELECTED POLITICAL OFFICE!

Logic says that the Democrats should’ve supported Trump based on his platform and the historical political philosophy of the Democrat Party!

The reason these woman are angry is because a sister with XY genitalia lost the election. They totally ignore the Clinton corruption machine, her Saudi Arabian (anti-women) money connections, her national security crimes, her lies under oath to Congress, her defense of a husband who is a proven sexual predator, her promotion of war that has killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians, etc…

The progressive movement against Trump is hypocritical and disingenuous. It’s amusing to watch these phonies protest and throw rocks when their heroine Hillary lives in a glass house.

        You prove my point about where the hate is coming from. We won the popular vote, even in Orange County, no less, for the first time! The electoral college, voter suppression, corporate media, gerrymandering and massive corporate funding put Trump in office. Trump may hold the office, but he will never be considered a legitimate president by the majority in the country. He is coming into office as the most unpopular president in our recent history.

        You are making me laugh with your continued ignorant absurdity…In our Constitutional Republic we have something called an electoral college.

Did you skip US government in school or do they not teach this along with the liberal propaganda and indoctrination now a days. Now who benefited from huge corporate and special infusion of money & influence peddling in this election? It was Hillary and her gang of corporate thieves that filled her coffers with upwards of 1 1/2 billion dollars. Talk about ignoring the obvious, you are so brained washed by the MSM, that you have forgotten that most us in the citizenry can think and make decisions for ourselves.

Trumps speaks of grabbing women during off-the-cuff locker room talk 10 years ago and all h*ll breaks loose on the feminist front.

Hillary Clinton takes multi-$millions$ for her Clinton Foundation Fund from Saudi Arabia and other ME nations that mutilate, beat and kill women on a daily basis for how they look, speak, act or think – and all you hear from the feminists are crickets! lol. Phony, phony, phony!

Then you have Bill Clinton who treats women like s*xual chattel (and has for years) and all these women are silent. No marches in the streets, no PussyHats. lol. Hillary even caught Bill ogling Ivaka at the Inauguration and gave him a look that could kill. There’s a video of it for all to see. You can’t change the spots on a lecher leopard!

        President Obama and the Republican Party supported TPP, but the complete Progressive Democratic Caucus; as well as, some of your Tea Party people were very much against it. Like I said, Trump is an opportunist and will take credit for whatever he can get away with. Trump’s billionaire cabinet appointments prove that point. He ran on being a progressive and now he has nominated corporate raiders to offices that would privatize Medicare, Social Security, Public schools, and all public services. He also nominated several Goldman Sachs executives, the same people he railed against Hillary Clinton for colluding with. I don’t have to look far for that liberal. I know so many wonderful liberals, and am so proud to be one. Please don’t think that you can define me.

        You must teach kindergarten, because you have shown history, government, and civics are not your strong suit..The tea party arose because the establishment rino right wasn’t listening to their own constituents.

        But, since you wish to bring up the birther movement. Did you happen to know that leading cause of death in America is abortion. That over 1 million innocent unborn children that have no voice are killed each year in America by these so called loving tolerant liberal feminist profiteers. Did you also know that these same so called tolerant leftest hypocrites also turned away pro-life and similar women’s groups and individuals from these (as we now know, were Soros funded) marches for just happening to be voicing differing opinions and views. You wish to point fingers and yell ‘IGNORANT”, You and your kind are just another example of why America voted the Democrats and failure out of power.

No matter who is serving in office there are always people behind the white house, camped out, protesting something so who cares? It’s their right, live and let live.
        
        I was anti-HRC and didn’t march, but I give the organizers and participators credit for the mere fact that even though the turnout for these marches nation wide was massive there wasn’t a single act of violence or any arrest in what a lot of commenters are claiming were “hate filled” crowds. You said “conservatives can accept it when their candidate loses a presidential election” and then chastised someone for claiming that the tea party people protested Obama’s win yet further in the comments you totally backpedalled and admitted there were “small tea party protests.” You’re conveniently forgetting or choosing to minimize what happened after Obama was elected. The “over the top butthurt” conservatives who you claimed accept when their candidate loses didn’t accept Obama as their President. They didn’t march or protest peacefully. They opted to riot, hang nooses, vandalize property and light Obama lawn signs on fire.
        
        How quickly people forget that instead of accepting Obama as their President “over the top butthurt” conservatives who you claim accept election results (led by Trump) began questioning the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency and demanding that Obama produce a birth certificate. Funny how they felt Obama should have to disclose his birth certificate yet now that the shoe is on the other foot, Trump doesn’t feel he should have to produce his tax returns? The current President himself is guilty of not accepting an elected President so why do you accept people to accept him? He set that standard and made that bed so now he has to lay in it.
        
        When people commenting called you out on your #alternativefacts you said THEY missed the point and began deflecting attention away from THE POINT (TRUMP) by attacking Hillary and Bill who aren’t in office or relevant. Why not attack Carter he’s still alive and an irrelevant Democrat too.

        “We live in a country where people have the right to protest anything peacefully.”
        
        In response to Paragraph 1: Not questioning the right for Americans to protest. I question the motivation behind the women’s march on the day after Trump’s inauguration when none of them protested Bill Clinton, the proven sexual predator, or his wife Hillary who defended him and verbally abused her husband’s female victims – or Hillary accepting millions from Saudi and other ME nations that abuse, torture and even kill women who fail to meet the cultural standards of a male dominated society. Get it???
        
        In response to Paragraph 2: On Friday at the Inauguration there were multiple acts of violence: A limo was torches and the windows of multiple small businesses were smashed – in Seattle a Trump supporter was shot at the UofW and anti-Trump protesters tried to shut down a planned MILO presentation event by throwing bricks at those entering the auditorium, thus trampling on First Amendment. Throughout Trump’s campaign the Soros-funded liberals were violent obstructionists – even here in Orange County. Do you read the news?
        
        Both pre and post Obama election protests were nothing in comparison to
        the Trump protests, if you want to have an honest discussion and be
        factual.
        
        In response to Paragraph 3: There are still many unanswered questions about the legitimacy of the birth certificate Obama posted at the White House website. Did you watch the press conferences about the results of the birth certificate investigations conducted by the Maricopa Sheriff’s Dept? You should take the time to watch the videos. Follow the evidence. You might learn something.
        
        In response to Paragraph 4: Hillary and Bill are legitimate targets in the discussion since Hillary ran against Trump for President. It’s completely reasonable to describe how the Clinton’s were treated with kid gloves by the mainstream media while Trump was constantly trash talked, harassed, berated and defiled.
        
        In the end Trump won fair and square. The sole purpose of the women’s march was to protest the Trump presidency. Had Hillary been elected all those women would have been cheering and gloating over her – due to her XX chromasomal molecular structure, even though she has a history of promoting female s*xual predators and taking bribes from misogynist nations. Sexists to the bone.

        You’re still questioning what they chose to protest and not protest. Get it?
        
        Every conservative is upset about what these people were protesting about. It wasn’t about HIllary at all. Keep trying to deflect things by bringing up the Clinton’s. It wasn’t about them & their shortcomings it was about Trump’s policies. Get it?
        
        I didn’t bring up the inauguration protest because once again there was violence at the Obama inauguration and the Trump one. My point wasn’t about the peaceful protest and marches across the nation on Saturday. Do you see how you get things twisted?
        
        If you’re still stuck on Obama’s birth certificate after he served and completed two terms that’s useless worry about your current president’s tax returns and conflict of interest that’s relevant in the present.
        
        Also, just like you think there are unanswered issues pertaining to Obama’s birth certificate the left can say the same about the assertions you make about the Clintons. Again, worry about the present and what’s relevant now.
        
        For someone who questions whether I read the news, you must be living u get a rock if you think the media was soft if HRC or any other candidate for that matter! Get real! Every single candidate from Bernie to HIllary to the 14 Republican candidates ALL took a beating in the lead up the conventions and after. Not a single candidate was liked by the media or favored. Like you said, if you want to have an honest discussion BE FACTUAL!

        No, it wasn’t about Hillary. It was about the HYPOCRISY of protesting Trump when there has NEVER been open protests by the feminist against Bill Clinton, a s*xual predator, or his wife Hillary who defended him and impugned, insulted and defiled her husband’s female victims.
        
        It’s the HYPOCRISY of selective outrage.
        
        The violence at the Trump inauguration was widespread with cops everywhere in riot gear. There were NO cops in riot gear at Obama’s DC inauguration. Let’s be factual.
        
        I’m not stuck on Obama birth certificate. You’re the one who brought it up. I responded. There is clear forensic evidence presented by a bona-fide law enforcement agency that the birth certificated posted by Obama on the White House website was fraudulent and fake. Go watch the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department presentations (there were 3) if you don’t believe me.
        
        If you don’t think that Trump took a disproportionate beating from the mainstream media during the GOP primary and the presidential election you must be wearing a blindfold and have plugs stuck in your ears.

        See, you’re still “over the top butthurt” that these people didn’t protest against Bill or HIllary. You seem selectively outraged about that but not about a Hypocrite president who refuses to divest from his business interest while serving in office to ensure there are no conflicts of interest. What about the nepotism of appointing his son-in-law as one of his top advisors? It’s ok that we have a law about that which he’s choosing to ignore right? You keep deflecting away from Trump’s shortcomings and making him out to be some sort of victim.
        
        As I said BOTH inaugurations had violence and they had to have riot gear because of past precedent with how things went down during Obama’s. No matter how much you try to claim thing were worse this year, the FACT is that people’s houses were burned down after Obama was elected because they were pro-Obama. What pro-Trump people’s houses were burned? Why must we compare. Why can’t you admit both were bad? how do you not see that there is NO WINNER? Neither side wins America loses!
        
        It’s apparent you’re also still caught up on believing there was an issue with a two term president’s birth certificate since you’ve advised me to watch some video twice now. ONE law enforcement agency that had it in for Obama made a video? Give me a break! It must really bother you to believe there was an injustice there and he got to serve twice. Once again you deflect from the point that Trump demanded a document from Obama & now he’s not producing a document. That’s Hypocrisy!
        
        I don’t think Trump took more of a beating, but again, you want him to be the victim and win this too! All candidates took a lot of heat from the media but Trump chose to respond to it all on Twitter which made things worse for him. He added fuel to the fire, and brought the extra attention on to himself so he is not a victim. He asked for it so don’t claim he got hit harder.
        
        I don’t own a blindfold and there are no earplugs in my ears. I just choose to see things differently than you do from the delusion rock you live under. Deflect on!

  He’s not my President, and never will be…ever. this isn’t about nuttier. You guys don’t get it. The people we wants to marginalize and victimize will NOT go back fifty years so that sad, fat, lazy white males can feel better about their failed lives. He schemed, cheated, lied, made promises he is already breaking and made his inauguration day a new federal holiday so union workers get a new paid day off. What a self serving sleaze. When I saw what he did to Melania, during the inauguration? I want to kick him in his wittle raisin nuts. What a dirtball.

    Unless you pack your bags and leave the country he is your president, like it or lump it.
    
    Oh, so now it’s a racial thing? White guys? ha. And they call Trump a bigot? ha.
    
    Did you happen to see sleazy Bill Clinton eyeball Ivanka??? ha. Hillary gave him a Darth Vader look! lol. What a lowlife lecher that man is. Can you say FAKE MARRIAGE??? ha.
    
    Bill Clinton makes Trump look like the Dalai Lama! lol.

      I don’t have to accept or acknowledge him. I have no President until California completes the secession. Yes. He exploited the pickup driving, beer belly, no college and no tech guys who don’t want to compete with women and other races, who thought that they should be guaranteed twenty dollar an hour jobs because they are ‘real Muricans’. When they found out that isn’t true, they ended up in Mama’s basement with their Confederate flag on the wall (talk about you lost, so get over it!), with no girl, so all they can do is impotently sit on social media and chant about making Music great again. It’s pathetic.

        California is dependent on the Feds like a heroin junkie is dependent on his dealer. California won’t secede from anything.
