Women voted and proved that they are focusing on

electing Dems as a result of the Fucking Moron's ongoing BS. The Women's March was NOT a flash in the pan that the Repub had hoped. We are RESISTING and VOTING!!! This is partially due to the local groups that have been working like mad since Jan to get candidates on all the ballots from school boards to city councils. Indivisible and other groups are working hard and are not giving up and silently going away as the GOP told us would happen. This is a result of successful, grass roots efforts and I thank every single person who has not given up the fight and has become stronger and louder instead. RESIST!

Will it be up to women to get the gun issue in this country taken seriously?

The men do not seem to be able to do anything except take money from the NRA or "pray" for 30 seconds. Since most of the current admin and Congress is ruled by men it looks like they are not willing to do anything about this. How do women change this scenario when we aren't in the position of power (representation in government, business, etc.)? This is about gender in the US male culture/society. I guess that despite being the majority gender in the US, we are still a minority of second class citizens without a voice. Will women be blamed for not raising their sons to be more anti violence and anti "macho"?

Tony Bourdain is on CNN with a new Puerto Rico episode now.

I need a break from shootings....let's go to natural disasters. At least Tony is honest about shit.

Has anyone seen a poll/survey either here on DU or elsewhere

where liberals were asked how they feel about guns, gun laws, gun ownership including the breakdown based on the gender of those liberals being polled? Just curious.

Is this the end...of rump's sanity?

This is not a typo.

I keep hearing that the ACA hasn't been repealed.

As far as I am concerned it has been through the Moron's executive order and no subsidies...so how is it really any different?

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
