Alas, the 300 Million Pound Women March provides a strong argument for doing away with women's suffrage.

I don't think people pay half enough attention to these races. Extremists slip in all the time.

who says she is thankful every day that she didn't get her degree in psychology instead. Apparently that's where the authoritarians and the misogynists end up.

especially because the Democratic Party is not focused a lot on local elections! If you want to go ahead and turn around our fortunes we need to start giving the small elections Republican Party because the small fish grow up to be nasty ass sharks!

He continued, “While I merely meant to harshly criticize some of the protestors (especially the very angry, hostile, vulgar, and violent ones) and question the motives of some of them, my tweets were understandably misinterpreted to mean that I disrespect or hate all the protestors.”

In Seattle there were ALL kinds of women --what is this obsession conservative men have for fluffy women? It's like they're drooling over them, can't stop purusing crowds for them, staring at them, seeing them everywhere, all the time.

Be afraid oh women, of these obsessives types, be very afraid.
