No apology coming from older, white men who

make up 95% of this fucking moron's administration. They are racist misogynists through and through...and that is who elected them in the first place (and yes, women can be misogynists too). Our country is deeply prejudiced and anyone who doesn't see that is blind and deaf. That is how we are perceived by Europeans. They see us more clearly than we see our selves let alone acknowledge who we are. We love guns and religion and all of it is incorporated into our politics. This may as well be 1955. One step forward two steps back. If Hillary had won she would have been dragged through the mud and obstructed as much as, if not more so, than Obama. I am embarrassed to be an American.

Bill Maher is back this week.

"It's Always Men" ...98% of mass shootings are by men.

A get weeks ago I asked in a DU post, "Why is the single common factor of most mass shooters and other violent crimes always the male gender?". I finally sat down to read my copy of Time Mag and saw that the issue was addressed after the Las Vegas shooting. It also addressed the issue in reaction to men and race, political affiliation, culture, money, etc.

Keith asks more questions than he can answer, however we do know why Manafort

worked for the fucking moron for free.

Wolf Blitzer just said he is completely confused

when Wolf started discussing the bi-partisan health care deal they are working on. The fucking moron is sending mixed signals every 15 minutes!

Stephen Miller is more dangerous than I realized. Chris Hayes on MSNBC

profiled him on his show today and it was chilling.

Women's March Convention update...

I received this from the organizers today.

We are a little over one week away from the Women’s Convention! We are so excited to come together, to build and learn from each other and to tap into the strength of women—not just as leaders, but as sisters in a shared struggle.

We are thrilled to announce that Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) will open the first evening of the Convention. As the senior Senator from the state in which the convention is taking place, and as a woman currently being challenged by a right-wing celebrity who has no prior experience with public policy or government, she has a lot to say about the importance of and challenges facing women leaders.

We know that it has been a painful week for women across the nation. We realize we added to that pain when we announced Senator Sanders as a speaker at the Women’s Convention, and that our announcement gave the impression that he is occupying a central role at the convention. It is important to correct the record: Senator Sanders is not opening or headlining the Women's Convention. He will be speaking on a Friday night panel discussion, Resistance Organizing in the Age of Trump, alongside leading resistance activists.

Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence will also play a key role, not only as a voice for women but for the city she represents. Many other trailblazing women in office will speak, including Letitia James, the first Black woman to hold the citywide office of New York Public Advocate, Representative Stephanie Chang, the first Asian-American woman in Michigan’s State Legislature, California Assembly candidate and formerly undocumented immigrant Wendy Carrillo, Representative Debbie Dingell of Michigan, and of course, Representative Maxine Waters, who we will honor during Saturday’s lunch. See the full list of speakers here!

We need women’s representation at every level of government. That’s why the Women’s Convention will include Run to Win, an introductory training led by EMILY’s List for women considering running for office, on Saturday, October 28. You don't need to be a declared candidate or even actively planning to run to attend—you just have to have an interest in learning the basics of being a candidate for state and local office! If you would like to attend the Run to Win training, you must register for it in advance here before October 26.

Thank you for your support and outspoken passion for the Women’s March and the values we hold dear. We are excited to come together and move forward in our shared fight for women's rights, health care access, economic justice, religious freedom, LGBTQIA+ rights, racial justice, disability justice, Indigenous sovereignty and environmental justice.

In community,
Women’s March

Edit...I just looked at DU Trending Now Home Page and saw that this was already posted.

This was stuck in my mind so I pulled out my copy of The Way To Cook

and Julia wrote, "Chicken legs may be boned and stuffed..." so I think you are correct.

A nationwide block to enforce the latest travel ban has been

made by the same Hawaiian judge, Judge Watson. He just made the decision so now the appeals start again.
