228 years... 45 presidents... 0 women... even though they represent half of the population

is there a bigger issue than that?

My state has less than 15% women in the state legislature and we haven't had a woman represent us in Congress since 1993. We did have a female governor who just left us for greener (that's debatable) pastures but I don't see any female coming up the ranks behind her. It's the old guard around here and I don't see it changing anytime soon. So I have a feeling the march will be well attended around here.

I'm sorry but I don't think this is an issue at all. I'm sure someday there will be a women President but as of now only one has tried.

only one has been able to get far enough in the political system of the US TO try.

Do you think female politicians are being held back from running or just a lack of female politicians in general? I think currently there are only 4 active governors who are women.

Does that include Nikki Haley? If so, then she's out.

I've been a big fan of Hal Leonard's teaching books. Using them for Uke & Guitar.
A lot of fun songs in The Daily Ukulele
And finally, Ukulele Aerobics

Trump is gutting and running the US off a cliff and there are Trump apologists on this thread complaining about a protest. I would laugh if it wasn't so SAD!

Solidarity protesters, true patriots.

??????? ohhhh believe me, you and people who share your opinion must have zero idea what it takes to build a prosperous country, so how long do think our economy would have lasted by increasing the national debt everyday ? it was the biggest debt created by any president but I'm sure the immigrant's(legal and illegal) and welfare abuser's loved it, some folk's love a freebie even if it bankrupts an economy, that's SAD !

I haven't read anything about him decreasing the debt. Have you? I only read about the wall budget, the increase in border security staff, and a decrease in small programs in order to ramp up military spending by 10%.

yeah, none of us understand economics. ok.

the problem here is Trump followers read his 140 characters and take them as gospel when really it is an incredibly over-simplified generalization. if you want a clear picture, you need to look at more than just the first 30 days of his presidency. proper context requires a much broader scope; the economy that Obama inherited, the economy Trump inherited, what Obama did with what he inherited and how much they intertwine, and how ridiculous it for any president to take credit for such a massive number in such a short period of time. remember, this guy took credit for financials of the country before he even was the president. it's preposterous.

he may very well do well by the economy. he may not. if he cuts as much as he says he's going to, he just might. the problem is, republicans have a history of increasing military budgets through the ceiling and their supporters look the other way like it's a necessity of life because of their excessive fear tactics. he has already stated he is inceasing military spending by 10%. and that's a huge number. and I haven't seen where he has stated this money is coming from.

Ms. Haiku

The following are the three requests from the Women’s March organization for participants in the Women’s Strike on March 8

1. Do not engage in paid or unpaid work
2. Do not spend money
3. Wear red


If I don't have a job, I can do all three. If I do, then I can do #3.

make them as Gospel ? you mean like what the followers of Obama and Clinton did while these two lied and screwed the American people to death ?
we now have a man in the WH who is driven to better our country and is very open about it, no secrete agenda to sell uranium or uses his wife to divide blacks and whites...you remember "those folks" she talked about at an all black college graduation ?

Good grief can you come up with a few reasons you don't like her and express them in a way that makes sense? If not, then the shoe fits.
