    Gregg Popovich gets it

    http://www.nola.com/pelicans/index.ssf/2017/01/gregg_popovich.html

    ""Their message is obvious," Popovich said. "That our president comes in with the lowest (approval) rating of anybody whoever came into the office. And there's a majority of people out there, since Hillary won the popular vote, that don't buy his act. And I just wish that he was more - had the ability to be more - mature enough to do something that really is inclusive rather than just talking and saying, 'I'm going to include everybody.' He could talk to the groups that he disrespected and maligned during the primary and really make somebody believe it.

    "And what really bothers me are the people around him, the Sean Spicers, the Kellyanne Conways the Reince Priebuses, who know who he is and actually have the cynical approach and disingenuous attitude to really defend him and make him look like he didn't say what he said. When he's mad at the media for them reporting what he said, it just boggles my mind.

    ''When Kellyanne Conway said the other day he wasn't really making fun of the handicapped person. It's incredible. It really makes you wonder how far would someone go to actually cover for somebody that much. I think the comment was,' You have to look in his heart. You don't know what's in his heart. He wouldn't do that.' But he did it.''

    ''Instead of honoring the 117 people behind him where he was speaking, he talked about the size of the crowd (attending his inauguration)," Popovich said. "That's worrisome. I'd just feel better if somebody was in that position that showed the maturity and psychological and emotional level of somebody that was his age.

    ''It's dangerous and it doesn't do us any good. I hope he does a great job, but there's a difference between respecting the office of the presidency and who occupies it.''

    Well put POP......Just how far those who speak for this President will go to cover what he says and does? No one REALLY knows but they're off to a spectacular start....Unreal what has transpired SO FAR.

    It's the same as when people defend Hillary Clinton for the things she's said and done. People are only going to see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear.

    Does anyone know what rights they think he'll take away? I didn't vote for him by the way. I really want to know. I'm having a hard time comprehending why this would be happening in day two???? Everyone seems to be jumping for joy about it.

    If ANY person at the protest today supported Hillary, they were ok with a woman who's husband got a blowjob from an intern and lied about it. Billy Clinton was a bigger woman abuser than trump and you best not support a woman who was ok sharing her bed for years and years with him. Hypocrites.

    This is a great point. Well said
    Ok, so if that's the case

    ^^^
    You had no idea that Madonna was going to be part of the march?

    Celebrities weren't the reason I went. I remembered that Katy Perry was going.
    What specific reason was it that you went? What were you protesting for exactly.
    Reproductive freedom.
    Understanding that.
    Where have these historic crowds been since they clearly were not at the voting booth?
    what part of 2.9 million LESS votes dont you get? Precedent Trump received 2.9 frwer votes than Clinton.
    What part don't you get that President Trump won with those numbers?
    Trolling prettyl hardcore today PJfan. Don't let the karma bite you back.
    That was very fox newish with the way you quoted me to fit your purpose.
    Sorry @mcgruff10. Accidental. Didn't mean to include that. Sometimes hard to catch those on my phone display. My disdain lies with PJfans trolling.
    Why is it trolling to question what is going on and to give your opinion.
    Because his opinion is wrong time and time again. But you're drunk on kool aid so you defend him of course.
    I did have a couple of drinks last night but not kool aid. I only drink Eddie kool aid. I don't know who that is or care. I'm not defending them. I'm just saying everyone has a right to their opinion and it's not wrong just because it doesn't match yours. it's an opinion. For me I believe trolling is when someone pops in and makes personal attacks on someone or some groups etc.
    This didn't come out sounding how I meant it. It sounded mean. I read a lot of the posts and it seemed like they were more asking questions. I don't know who pjfan is but they have a right to their opinion just as you do. They aren't wrong just because they don't agree with you. That's their belief they have a right to just as you have a right to yours. otherwise, we might be living like the radicals are living, killing one another and the innocent people who don't believe as they believe. I am pro life. I believe that people should use birth control but not use abortions as a form a birth control. If the Mothers life is truly in danger then that would be up to the mother and doctors to decide what happens. I think its great that people came together to march but maybe it would have been better to wait and see what happens. The people that were demonstrating, breaking windows and vandalizing on the day of the inauguration are only harming their cause. I listened to Trumps full speech today. It sounded promising, although they all sound promising. We'll see.

    No, I'm more offended that the protest tolerated this from Madonna.

    I don't care about a p hat or a band name like Thunderpussy. What I care about and am pissed off about is someone that brags about sexual assault

    To answer your question, I feel it would be a disgusting thing to do and no human should do it.
    I am not about to wear a p hat to show my disdain for it though.

    What was promising? To me it was fear based, nationalistic, and divisive. And aren't you anti-abortion, instead of pro-life?

    So near as I can tell this march is finished now.
    What has changed?

    Ok, so the march is over now. What has changed besides the memory of Madonna saying “To our detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything, f--- you! F--- you! It is the beginning of much-needed change.”?

    Pjfan, do you feel that every successful protest in history led to immediate results? Was it right after approaching tanks with flowers that the Vietnam war was halted? Do you think the apartheid era was finished after one protest? It's incredibly shortsighted of you to anticipate that people stop marching, go home, mission accomplished.

    These marches had predominantly a social message, to be used to prevent anticipated human rights abandonments. The message was - if our human rights are threatened (future tense), we are and will remain engaged citizens who will not allow this silently, and will fight the presence of divisive messages with ones of unity to apply pressure to force deviations in political directions. The social act was to re-teach the populace the act of peaceful and organized protest, and given the scope of this protest (which is fairly unprecedented in recent American history), this protest has potential to be a success if subsequent engagement and proper protest increases. Of course, as one of many things which could raise subsequent civilian engagement and protest efforts, direct correlation is almost impossible, but once again, with as many attendees who formerly did not put in effort to protest (case in point - it was unprecedented in scale), the likelihood is in favour of an impactful event.
    To your first question.
    No.
    Your second.
    Yes.
    Your third.
    Pending.

    To your reasoning as why this march happened, this did not manifest via media.
    This "historical march" isn't even being given a second look today.
    It did nothing.

    It didn't sound fear based or divisive. He wants to bring us all together. I think our country should take care of our country as other countries take care of their countries. Should we help other countries only and let our country continue to decline? He talked about putting people to work so they aren't on welfare which I'm sure will be a great thing for those people. They will start feeling better about themselves. I hope he builds rail lines across this country which create jobs for people. Look at Europe and how much better their transportation is than ours. We are America. We should be by far ahead.

    Look back on history and you will see one protest doesn't mean shit (civil rights, Vietnam, etc). However the message from yesterday was heard and hopefully these same non violent protests regarding women's rights will reoccur in a timely manner.

    I think they would be a great addition to any lingerie...I think more women should wear "p hats". But, that's just the chauvinistic pig in me talking.
