Call it what it really is, an anti trump rally.

Dont use womens rights as the excuse.

Just as soon as he calls his anti-woman legislation what it is...anti-woman. Seems fair to me.

Huffington Post article: Donald Trump Reinstates Ronald Reagan’s Abortion ‘Global Gag Rule’

"It bars international health organizations that receive U.S. funding from mentioning abortion as a family planning option."

We should cut off all funding. Not because of abortions but because why do we need to get taxed to subsidize the entire world?

Because we can easily afford it and we aren't heartless robots?

I think the 20+ trillion debt would say otherwise.
Not talked about enough, the national debt scares me more than anything about this country. If nothing changes I am fairly certain within the next 2 presidents our economy will be like Germany after WWI. But do you think China will be so forgiving when we go bankrupt and say "sorry, we lost your money"?

And still the foreign investments keep rolling in! Our credit is good and there isn't any reason it won't continue to be. We can print dollars to pay it off, the dollars don't need to be backed by shiny metal, that's a childish economic view, the dollars are backed by confidence in American dollars. It's all about confidence and Trump is the only real threat to that. Germany is doing just fine because the confidence in the German people to get shit done never faltered. Lean years come and go, if losing WW2 wasn't enough to break Japan or Germany as world powers, I am not particularly worried about the national debt. What is China going to do? Stop lending and investing? Oh well, lean times until we adjust.

That's your solution? Print more money? Seriously?!
Geez, we are screwed.

Not my solution, I am out of my league here so I defer to economists (as long as they aren't Keynesian fools).
The point is that a "solution" isn't really necessary, partly because we have that option.
This is macro-economics, not libertarian checkbook balancing. The dollar's value is irrefutably based on confidence, not shiny metal. If we maintain that confidence, we have no problem, on the international scale. Domestically, debt can have some side effects that can be problematic, but that's a pretty complicated and nuanced situation.

And yet you voted for a guy who is going to build a multi billion dollar nonsense wall, spend 10% more on the military and cut taxes for corporations and the wealthy.

Please don't pretend you care about fiscal responsibility.

I hope they clean up their mess this time.

They have to get a permit to protest in most cities, right? The permit holders should get a cleanup bill to pay for the mess the protesters make...it's only fair.

As I mentioned earlier on this thread....for a lot of the guys on here.....every day is a day without a woman.

Because they are homosexuals? I would say that for many on here, every day is probably a day without going to work too.....

We are $20T in debt. We can't afford it.

Careful, I said the exact same thing and was told I don't have the right to complain about debt if I didn't vote Hilary.
Makes sense, right?

but we can certainly afford to build a wall to keep the "bad hombres" out? Your logic makes no sense whatsoever.

mace1229

The thing is, no one is supporting spending money building a wall SO the argument "we can afford it because you want to spend money on a wall" is irrelevant, because no one here does.

I wasn't quoting you.....and did not see unsung ever say that building the wall was a bad idea. Hence, the reason for my response.
