liberals are actually masochists who are absolutely wallowing in painful pleasure over all this

Well, yes, you're absolutely right. Lots of drama queens on the left and President Trump gives them a common focus for their hysteria.

Or, as I commented to Mrs WBill the other night..."Stand up in front of a roomful of Trump-hating liberals to talk about how lousy Donald Trump is? Gee... that's a bold statement to make."

This is about shoving their anti-male hatred down the throats of the rest of us

I watched "The Red Pill" a little while back. Feminist filmmaker goes to make a documentary on the evil that men do, and finds out something quite the opposite. It was OK, not much new material there for people who are regulars on FR, but mildly interesting.

However, the one thing that surprised me was the level of vile hatred that feminists have for men. Hearing them say what they think, uncensored to a "fellow feminist" was enlightening.

“Hearing them say what they think, uncensored to a “fellow feminist” was enlightening.”

I spoke with a close friend, a woman, about this subject several years ago. She's a good person, and a good mom, but definitively career oriented above too many other things. We were talking about how much an anti-male attitude permeated feminism, and she was expectedly defending feminism. I said, what if the anti-male rhetoric and political fallout was directed at her son as he grew. She said, "he'll have to deal with it". It was amazing to me, because she was/is a very committed mother, but on this issue the feminist perspective took center court.

“so plainly, so essentially, so completely, a disrespectful brute”

Ahhh, keep your chin up .. you get to scream it to the sky come November 8th!

The attacks on our President for his lack of “couth” further illustrates the ignorance of his enemies. Truth be told, the President/Federal government is really only responsible for a few things, i.e. defense, border control, etc.
The President/Federal govt. is NOT supposed to be a father figure or someone who micro-manages daily life in America.
President Trump sees the big picture: Trust Americans to govern themselves, remove the shackles of bossy-ness that defined Obama era politics and watch the engine of freedom ROAR!

yep. Feminism is a jealous god, and does not tolerate dissent from its followers.

Speaking of shoving - they can shove their lying hypocrite faces in Harvey Weinstein's lap.

And stay there...
