    Well yeah.
    Pshonka compensated for decades of deprivation imposed by the Party's rule. He was also a part of a criminal regime, and whatever is it he rose on, it sure wasn't merit. What's The Donald's deal?

    Sounds like it turned out well. I went to the Women's march in LA Saturday. I believe it was one of largest, and it was extremely peaceful. The cops were very nice indeed, and everybody crowded around to get pictures of the mounted police. There were signs with the word "pussy", but most were tongue in cheek. Obviously, the protesters were employing the word (pussy) since Donald likes to grab them, as he said whilst on video. :smile: Using his own words against him I guess you could say.

    Very large turn out. Unlike Trump's inauguration that had a relatively small turn out. Donald is so sensitive, he later sent Spicer out to tell the press that despite the facts, the turn out was quite large! he he! Once he was done, he marched out and didn't let the reporters ask any questions! These guys are touchy!

    Foreigners denied entry into the U.S. to participate in protests

    When foreigners tried to enter the United States to protest, border guards turned them away and told them that they would be arrested if they tried to reenter during that weekend. Some of them were told that they could no longer enter the United States, unless they first applied for a visa.

    Here is the article:

    Boy did they miss out it! It was quite a fun weekend. Of course, the article seems kind of silly since protests were held worldwide. So, heading off a couple of Canadians didn't make much of a dent. What's also fishy is that they were asked if they were pro Trump or anti Trump. I've crossed all kinds of borders over my lifetime, and I have never once been asked my political affiliation.

    Abner, are you for or against foreigners getting involved in American politics and protests?

    That women are not shrinking violets, so easily traumatized be some offhand comment made by Trump some years ago.

    Oddly, this was on Thursday, when the Obama administration was still in charge.

    Jail menu for arrested protestors:

    Arrested protestors are feasting on jail food. Here is the article:

    Washington D.C.:
    Lunch: Bologna and cheese sandwich
    Dinner: Cod fish, sweet potatoes, mixed veggies, biscuits and fudge brownies

    Dinner: Bake battered fish, tartar sauce, mayonnaise potatoes, mixed vegetables, whole wheat bread, margarine, apple fruit drink and hot tea

    L.A.:
    Lunch: Bologna sandwich and an apple

    Sounds delicious! :smile: When I got hungry from marching, I just hit up a taco truck! I ordered an extra large carne asada burrito, wet it down with some Tapatio, then washed it down with two ice cold Caballitos soft drinks! After that, I was good to go! :smile: God bless America!!!!!!!!!!

    Madonna Louise Ciccone (stage name Madonna) has been contemplating blowing up the White House. You can hear her testimony at this YouTube video:

    On the subject of the inauguration turn out:

    Tragically comical. I guess the term "alternative facts" is trying to be introduced as legitimate? I wonder how much time is going to be wasted of petty issues like this. And that was just day one!

    Yes, but then she went on to explain why that would be useless, etc. Heck, I once contemplated blowing up a bank when they screwed me over several years ago. Did I do it? Of course not, that would have been silly. Instead, I took measures to protect myself from future problems. Actually, I learned something else. It is much better to do banking business with credit unions. :smile:

    Hollyweird ideologists + Fake news mainstream media outlets = Deep space

    The power of fake news mainstream media outlets continues to diminish, due to growing communications technologies i.e. the internet, tweets, YouTube, etc. In the old days, Americans were completely reliant on the mainstream media, but those days are gone. Self-appointed Hollyweird ideologists and the owners of mainstream media haven't figured it out yet.

    Hollyweird ideologists have detached themselves from hard-working, sane, blue collar Americans who work 10-15 hours a day. Being a Hollyweird superstar doesn't qualify an actor to be a genuine political representative of the people, nor does it make Hollyweird actors more intelligent, although Hollyweird actors pretend to play the part.

    Hollyweird? I haven't heard that term in thirty years or so. I do not know, my friends on the right seem to think Ronald Reagan was a great President. Also, let's not forget that Trump is a reality TV star, so he is part of Hollyweird.

    As far as the media. Trump can tweet whatever opinions he likes, but now that he is President, his feet are going to be held to the fire for a pesky thing known as the facts. Just screaming at reporters and calling them scum bags every time you don't get a question or story you like isn't going to cut it. Crying "fake news" all the time reminds me of the story of the boy who cried Wolf! Wolf! We know how that turned out.

    The people are watching. And if people don't like what they see, the tables can be turned very quickly in 2018 and 2020. It's up to Trump now.

    Title: Billionaire George Soros has ties to more than 50 ‘partners’ of the Women’s March on Washington – Women in the World in Association with The New York Times – WITW

    Author: Asra Q. Nomani

    Snip: In my research, which I’m opening up for crowd-sourcing on GoogleDocs, George Soros has funded or has close relationships with 56 or more of the march’s key partners, such as Planned Parenthood, which opposes Trump’s anti-abortion policy. The other Soros ties include...

    So did aka "blue dog" Dems also think Reagan was excellent.

    In hindsight all after him were far worse!

    Politics makes some people crazy. Here is a YouTube showing a crazy woman:
    - having a mental meltdown while on an airplane
    - because a pro-Trump passenger is sitting next to her
    - getting removed from the plane by police because she would not shut-up
