Women's March Around the World - Comments

Nothing you say to me will make me look at that man with anything other than digust. He signed 3 executive orders today 1 to continue construction of two pipelines that can cause major devestation to our enviornment and another one for tax payers to foot the bill on an unecessary wall. Anything you say to me is null and void. Not to mention his idiotic advisor Kellyann Conway saying that they have "alternative facts." You know what that's called? A LIE. @Teddi Manni

@ Guilty As Charged
I apologize for not replying soon enough. The notification for this just came in which is odd considering this was a day or two ago...

But either way, your source actually proves me right. Several of the links on this google page have stated that Trump didn't know. But let's say for sake of your argument that he was completely aware if this reporters disability, yeah? He mocks everyone in the same manor. It isn't an attack on or mocking disabilities, it's an attack on people who twist their own words to make him look bad. Which is why he talked about that reporter in the first place, that reporter wrote a hypocritical article to make him look bad.

I pasted your link "source" and the second and many other articles say different to your argument.

But whether he knew or not, people attack and mock every other person. Just because Trump does it to the same people that do it to him, he's automatically mocking disabilities? He was mocking the reporter in general who cares if he is physically disabled? He is an intelligible human being knowing precisely what he is writing about in his pieces.

I mean he uses these stupid hand gestures for everyone. Not the disabled

Thank you that was very sweet. I honestly hope that he leaves those programs alone. @floral and fading

@ Guilty As Charged
I agree with everything you've said in the blog and in the comments. And to make it worst, Trump, the massive asshole, or his team, removed the LGBT section, the climate change section, and the health care section from the White House website. The man is a vile creature, and I hope and pray for you, and sending all the positive vibes your way

You're right Trump isn't the one saying those things to me but every angry mob needs a leader to rile them up. Are you going to tell me he really has no influence over his followers? Oh and here is a list of links that show he did know the reporter was handicapped. So there https://www.google.com/#q=did+trump+know+reporter+was+handicapped

However because I know we are on different sides of the playing field I don't expect you to believe me. @Teddi Manni

@ Guilty As Charged
Of course it isn't right to say that, but Trump isn't and shouldn't be responsible for what others say and do. Just because other people say things to you about your skin color or whatever else, doesn't make Trump responsible or racist because others are racist.

The media doesn't say word for word what he says most of the time. I have explicit examples of that in my sources. And also, most of my sources have the videos or interviews of Trump and what he said. Also, it's funny how you accuse me of crap sources and give me none to back your claims.

Yes, I'm Mexican American and you're right not every brown person is Mexican. There's so many ethnicities out there. @Alsoldey

I looked at your sources and I have to say I'm dissapointed. I honestly thought you'd have something better than FOX news or an overly religious website. I ran another search and multiple sources confirm that he did know the reporter was disabled. I have no problem with religion but it needs to stay away from our goverment and politics. There is no national religion our forefathers did it that way on purpose. Also its not twisting the truth when they repeat word for word exactly what he said and report it. See that's the thing many of us aren't even Hillary supporters we're angry because refuses to act like a president. He refuses to act grown up. He acts like he's a kid throwing a fit. Our president should be more concerned with pushing the country forward than stroking his own ego. I was going to give him a chance at first and then he appointed modern day neo nazis to his cabinet. As a minority this worries me. Maybe the majority of people who are white have nothing to worry about because he's not targetting them but honestly I haven't had my citizenship questioned so many times since he started running for president just based on the fact that my skin is brown. "Over the wall you go." "Back illegal." "Your welfare mooching days are over no more dropping anchor babies." <----Is it okay to talk that way to another citizen just because they're not white?

@Teddi Manni

Oh, I'm also not trying to fight tbh I think there should be more civilized discourse between the left and the right.

@ Guilty As Charged

I would like to first state that I'm aware there are extremists on every side, but when I say "they" or whatever pronoun in my comment, I'm talking about extreme leftists, not just the left. I'm well aware that not every leftist is an extremist.

Guilty As Charged:

Pro life is an already protected right under the constitution. No one can force you to have an abortion. However the rights these women speak of pertain to women's rights to choose whether they should terminate the pregnancy.

This doesn't matter concerning the women's march when it was supposed to be about supporting all women and their beliefs and rights. But of course, they didn't want women with certain beliefs to be a part of it even though they claimed it was about all women.

Guilty As Charged:

Also, there is footage of Donald Trump himself making fun of a disabled man

Trump didn't even know the man was disabled. This is a great example of how media likes to take something and twist it to make their opposing side look awful; worse than it really is. I do agree, you shouldn't mock anyone like the way he did, but he wasn't mocking the man's disability. This is a lie the mainstream media manipulated to make him look bad.

This is a source summarizing why he wasn't specifically mocking him because he was disabled.

This source isn't mainstream and goes more in depth with the whole situation. It also gives a video compilation where Trump uses the same stupid gestures to mock so many other people.

I'm not saying I agree with his mocking by any means, but he didn't even know the man was disabled. Media blew that up and manipulated it to fit their narrative. And I will say again, I don't agree with mocking like the way he does quite often - he does say a lot of stupid things - but a lot of things people complain about him, are blown up by mainstream media and twisted. Which is why I will have to admit (as much as I don't want to) that Trump is smart for saying the crap he says to bait media with things they can twist to make him look bad. In the process, he proves himself right when he says how crap mainstream media has become.

Guilty As Charged:

Also, there is footage of Donald Trump himself...speaking about how he can sexually harass [sic] women because he's famous.

He wasn't talking about sexually harassing women. And here is why.

This is the full video here with subtitles.

I will preface that I don't agree with talking in this manner, but I am a Christian and have much higher standards than the majority in this country. Men - and even a lot of women - say this crap all the time with their friends and other people to either brag or look cool or both.

The reason this isn't sexual harassment is because he states that "and when you're a star [women] let you do it." Notice how he says let.

Here is the definition of sexual harassment: harassment in a professional or social situation involving the making of unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks.

And it is true. When a man is rich and famous, they fling themselves at those men (of course, not all women). That is those women's fault for such stereotypes and happenstances. Trump's experience is that if he tries to move forward on hitting on a woman, that women lets him (typically). He never mentions moving forward if they refuse. He even talks about an incident where he failed to be with a woman, but he never says he moves in on her despite her saying no.

So this was blown up by media, taking things out of context.

But again, I don't condone this kind of talk, but society talks like this all the time. Men, women, rich, poor, teens, grown ups, etc. If I had it my way, there would be no gross sexual talk of any sort, unwanted or wanted. But again, I'm not forcing anyone to do or say anything sexually... Neither is Trump.

Guilty As Charged:

So because some liberals are extremists that means all of them are? Some right wingers are white supremacists and I don't think that makes all of them Nazis.

Not sure I can pinpoint to where I called anyone Nazi or that all liberals are extremists. Again, I was referring to only extreme leftists or I was referring to the mainstream media.

@ Alsoldey

Alsoldey:

What she said. Trump is not fit and he did say pretty awful stuff about Mexicans. You going to tell me that was said out of context? How about when he said he'd make all Muslims wear something to let people know they're Muslim?

Point me to the sources that the above statements/theories are made up?

For some of the things Trump said that Guilty as Charged referred to, I have given sources above. As for the Mexican statements, here are some links:

I'm assuming this is what you're referring to when you say "stuff about Mexicans".

I don't agree with how he makes it seem likes it's more than it probably is, but Trump never said all Mexicans. In fact, he says there are good ones. Also, he is referring to those who come illegally and actually deal drugs (which is a lot of drugs actually coming in), and do other criminal activities. That's his main focus now: get illegal criminals out. That isn't an issue.

As for Muslim wearing a badge. Funnily enough, that is completely false too. Another scheme embellished by media.

Here is a decent source about covering the lie on him saying Muslims should wear something publicly.

I mean just look at this video. And I mean the entire video.

You can clearly tell this “reporter” was baiting and leading him into trying to get him to say something ridiculous to make him look bad for their media company. Instead of asking genuine questions, he puts words in such a way to try and set him up.

But he doesn't really fall for it. I wish I could find the other video of Trump trying to ignore an NBC reporter when he tried to say “so I hear you said you want muslims to wear badges. Isn't that the same as Hitler and making Jews wear a star?”

Trump kept ignoring him, paying attention to other people. And it's so obvious he is toying with the media because he eventually caves and says to the reporter “who are you? Who are you with?”

The reporter says “NBC” and asks the same stupid baiting and false question and Trump goes “you tell me”. He knows he didn't say anything about a stupid badge that muslims should wear but he plays the media because media is so ridiculous It's a very amusing video. Wish I could find a direct link to it.

@ Guilty As Charged
It's dumb as shit. I vaguely remember you telling me you were half Mexican or something? I may have you confused with someone else?

The other thing I hate is having to constantly be referred to as an alien...in my paperwork and shit. I don't like that, but it is what it is.

It's just downright dumb to think that all brown is the same brown. All brown is different, you have more than one Latin-American country out here, y'know? There's more than just Mexican, pero whatever

Pro life is an already protected right under the constitution. No one can force you to have an abortion. However the rights these women speak of pertain to women's rights to choose whether they should terminate the pregnancy. This is important for a lot of women. This however doesn't mean abortions are free but are accessible. Plus if those women wanted to march they could start their own sector instead of trying to change the march that was already planned for the specific purpose of showing this administration that the people don't see women as sex objects. Also, there is footage of Donald Trump himself making fun of a disabled man and speaking about how he can sexually harrass women because he's famous. There are extremists in every movement. I won't deny that but to blatantly gloss over all of the things HE HAS SAID is asking for too much from everyone else. Its the same with the right wing movement. They tend to twist the truth and make their representatives out to be almost godly. So because some liberals are extremists that means all of them are? Some right wingers are white supremacists and I don't think that makes all of them Nazis. @Teddi Manni

What People are talking about when they say "media is fake news" is referring to things like Washington Post, NY Times, and CNN and other news outlets when they twist and manipulate news stories, make things about race when it shouldn't be, and only stick to stories that fit their narrative.

For example, media has been blown up with things about Trump saying he's "sexist, racist, homophobic" when there is no evidence of that unless his words are taken out of context which is the problem with mainstream media. They take things out of context and it spreads like a wildfire and people these days just hear stuff and conform and keep that narrative and idealology.

Yes. You are right, people need to fact check things. But people just listen to mainstream media and don't bother looking at the whole event/situation/etc.

Also, one example of mainstream media being bull is that they really don't talk about how this "women's" march refused to let a group of women participate in it because they believed in pro-life. This is another issue with extreme leftists: if it doesn't fit their narrative, you can't be involved with them and are in the wrong.

@Alsoldey I feel you. I'm hispanic as well and I get called those words too along with illegal because apparently anyone who is brown is illegal. >.<

@ Guilty As Charged
Honestly we still have sexism, and racism. We're not past it at all. If I still have mother fuckers calling me spic/dirty Mexican/beaner/wet back....clearly racism is not over.

Thank you @ Alsoldey

Thank you @ Alsoldey

I'd rather stay and do everything I can to stop America from reverting back to racism, segregation and sexism. @ Moses's Puppy Hina

i wish i could move to another country but i can't.... thanks to the lack of money. i honestly dont believe Trump will help anyone but himself or "rich" people... looks like the simpsons predicting his presidency was spot on.

Bless you for the sources. Thank you
