New Public Policy Polling poll allegedly shows that more people a favorable opinion of the women's marchers than of the President. Haven't seen the poll numbers myself yet.

If It makes you feel better, I for one am terrified of what would happen if you decided to troll.

I'm gonna protest to bring back sigs.

Where things get particularly dicey is when the pollster surveyed just Trump voters. This is where the president’s supporters show just how detached from reality they are.

According to the poll, Trump loyalists say their man’s inauguration crowd was larger than the Women’s March and Obama’s inaugurations. A small plurality of Trump supporters even said that his inauguration “had the biggest crowd in history.”

Excuse me officer, did you happen to see the post beavers replied to.

Before you write up your police report, perhaps you will take a look at it.  

See you at Dinky's Donuts, over and out.  

I've had him on ignore since he reported me (and my subsequent timeout) so it's odd that he continues to stalk me. @neverminditscool

That's not really saying much.  At this rate, I expect ISIS to pull ahead of the president in net favorability by April or so.

Yes, but not teat.

Are the pollsters different than the ones that were conducting polls about the election?

This discussion about personal slights is ridiculous.  Let's all try to grow some thicker skin.

Screw you, clown.

Now we're insulting clowns?  Where does it stop?

I'd be interested to see a list of what type of bars you frequent...or maybe I wouldn't

Last night I caught my wife on a date with another man and I paid the bill because it was the right thing to do.

A politician cracked that women belong in the kitchen. A ‘furious’ woman just took his job
 

Ashley Bennett didn’t make it to the Women’s March on Washington in January. She badly wanted to be there, but couldn’t take the day off her job, screening a 24-hour emergency crisis hotline in New Jersey.

Still, the 32-year-old Egg Harbor Township resident watched the march on television, inspired by the droves of women flooding the streets in protest.

Two days later, a friend emailed her a screenshot of the Facebook post that would change her entire career.

A local elected official, Atlantic County Freeholder John L. Carman, had posted a meme on Facebook the day of the Women’s March, showing a woman stirring a pot over a kitchen stove.

“Just asking?” Carman wrote above the meme, which said: “Will the woman’s protest be over in time for them to cook dinner?”

In another post, he shared an image with the words, “There must be a large sandwich making class going on in DC today,” according to Shore News Today.

Bennett was “furious,” she said in an interview with The Washington Post. “It’s 2017. Really? Is that what we’re going to do?”

“How do you have the time to be on social media belittling and mocking people when there is all this work to be done?” she said.

The following day, she joined a group of 30 women who spoke up at a meeting with county officials, confronting Carman about the “misogynistic” post, which he later deleted, Bennett said. One woman showed up with a box of macaroni and cheese, telling Carman to “cook his own damn dinner.”

“It was in bad taste, the joke I posted,” Carman acknowledged to the crowded room. “But it was just that. It was a joke … nothing serious about it.” He suggested that “strong, confident” women in his life “didn’t get offended by this.”

Bennett left the meeting dissatisfied, just as angry as before.

As she vented to her family at home that night, they asked her, “why don’t you run?” Bennett recalled. “I thought, why don’t I run?”

So she did. She campaigned for her first race ever, running as the youngest candidate on the county ticket.

And on Tuesday night, she won.

Bennett unseated Carman, a 58-year-old Republican elected in 2014 who has held various positions in local government for two decades.

She beat him as a Democratic challenger in a Republican stronghold, winning by nearly 1,000 votes out of the 14,000 cast for the seat, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. A “freeholder” is an elected county commissioner in New Jersey responsible for legislation and oversees county budgets. Atlantic County has a nine-member freeholder board, with each freeholder elected to a three-year term.

“I never saw this coming, ever,” Bennett said. “If you would have asked me back in November, would you run for office? I would have looked at you strangely,” Bennett said.

ETA:  I assumed this was already in the politics subforum.  Mods, please move. Thanks
