Trump Issue

[ivor4781]

can anyone point out to me where trump stated women are going to loose their rights and equalities in the his administration
i failed to see this in hi s speeches .all i have heard is 1 crass (in private) joke he made about ***ies

[ivor4781]

should have said all the marches against trump seem to be all about this

[vortex]

The marches are about solidarity not substance.

[ivor4781]

yes seem solidarity about women loosing equalities thats all i see and hear on these marches, that did not answer my question vortex

[cassa333]

I have the same thought Ivor.

Nowhere has Trump said anything other than some crass, insulting and derogatory comments towards women. Although it does go some way to the rather backward mentality of the man it in no way says he is suddenly going to change all the equility laws.

It is just people opposed to Trump highjacking a cause celeb.

[Gromit]

No, you are mistaken.
The demos are about losing rights, not specifically women's rights.
There are lots of things that would worry a mother or grandmother, such as healthcare.

[ummmm]

The man sexualised his own daughter!

Batman went on the march :-) (the actor, Will something)

[Gromit]

Obviously as 3 million more people voted against Trump, then any anti-Trump demonstration is going to be big.

[Islay]

The march is an important way to protest against the normalisation of Donald Trump and the politics of hate and misogyny

Ivor4781 - you are right, sorry. It just gets my goat because DT is being judged before he even took office. How do these protestors know for a fact that their worst fears will come to fruition?

I can't produce the evidence that you seek Ivor and neither can the protestors. Fear is one thing, fact is another matter entirely.

Will Arnot ummm he is the lego batman

[mushroom25]

will west anderson? for those of a certain age (ie mine), he's THE batman...

[Jackdaw33]

A bit of hyperbole there, I think, Islay.

[ToraToraTora]

they got there alans in a brahms over some of the locker room banter that's all.

[Old_Geezer]

When folk wish to protest they'll grab any nonsense as ammunition. If enough people claim something then there is always the possibility that the majority follow them from peer pressure and claim that the emperor really does have new clothes.

[Islay]

If you say saw Jackdaw - a question was asked and I responded!!

[Gromit]

// they got there (sic) alans in a brahms over some of the locker room banter //

Don't bother to try and decypher that, it makes less sense when you do.

[sandyRoe]

It's not so much what he says as what he does. If federal budgets for programmes which impact for the good on the lives of women are cut their lives can only be made worse as a consequence.

[Jackdaw33]

Tr: They got their knickers in a twist.

[Islay]

And that ladies and gentlemen is why women are protesting due to attitudes like TTT's!!!
