Hello Weekend!

[vlagroupie]

What is everyone up to on this surprisingly mild weekend?

[sstwinklinglites]

I'm watching the Women's March Coverage on TV. I really wish I would have participated in some way.

I'm waiting on the toddler to finish his "coffee" and breakfast.

E seems to have a stomach bug. We are laying low at home today.

Oh no, hope it passes quickly.

Just hanging out at home right now. Family coming over later for dinner. Wish we had the energy to get outside and enjoy the weather.

My friend brought her two boys over and they played this morning. Baby has taken two naps in his crib so far.

I wish I was in DC

Have they compared the women's march crowds with the inauguration? I'm watching CNN but haven't heard.

They haven't said anything about total numbers, but as of about two hours ago, 275k people heading to the march had already used the metro, compared to virtually empty metros yesterday.

I would have loved to do the March here in cincy, but it is right at nap time and we have a bday party this afternoon. Seeing the pics and posts is giving me the feel though!

becole babylove518 - Did you see Ashley Judd's speech earlier? It was so fantastic. DS stopped playing and watched the whole thing then cheered at the end, as if he totally understood it. #raisinghimright

I've flipped between MSNBC & CNN. I've been watching a lot of live online coverage.

[becole]

When I go to CNN they keep showing trump stuff. Why isn't this on a local NBC or abc?

I've been watching non - stop March coverage on CNN for the last two hours. Channel 67 or 567 on Cincinnati Bell.

ETA - They're talking about Trump now, but still showing images of the marches, and cutting to speakers at the marches.

Because we're red states so they don't care to cover anti - Trump stuff?

[babylove518]

I didn't... I'll have to look it up later! I'm at the salon getting my hair done right now.

[vlagroupie]

I'm watching coverage on MSNBC. Madonna just dropped the f bomb twice lol.

They cut away way too late. They didn't even attempt to cut away after the first f bomb.

[mominthemaking14]

I marched in Cincinnati my feet hurt my kid is sleeping but it WAS amazing. Off to dinner now.

[sstwinklinglites]

I'm so pissed that when that douche Spicer came out to speak, his only recognition of what's happening across the freaking world today was to say that there's no accurate count of how many protesters were out there. I have such little hope this president, his administration, and the current Congress will do anything even remotely beneficial for the lower and middle class, for women & minorities. We have to really fight.

That was the most childish display ever, ignore what the media is saying and move on. No need to hold a press conference about it.

Yep, first 24 hours in office and they blatantly lie, ignore what's right in their backyards, stand in front of the CIA and disrespect them.

Oh as a child of communism, I will say this: going after and threatening the press and media is the first sign of a dictator. Remove the press and leave the people with nobody to listen to but the government.

I truly hope what I saw today doesn't die. We need to make the next four years absolutely miserable for them.
