My comments on the Women's March:

Attended Inauguration on Friday. Great event. People in the crowd looked like normal, every day Americans. Didn't really see many protestors. Saw 2 people removed by police. Only regret is that I didn't get to the Capitol earlier to get a better spot.

Travelled back to the Mall area on Saturday for site seeing. Had tickets for the National Archives. Arrived for 11am with my tickets. Line was short. Felt Happy. Then a group of 5-6 women join the line after me. Hear them talking about wanting to go inside to use the restroom. Thinking to myself, you ladies probably don't have tickets. Proceed through security and guards don't ask for tickets. Someone must have directed the security guards to let people inside without tickets. Goes downhill from there...

After looking at the Constitution and Bill of Rights (much more faded than I expected), headed over to the National Gallery of Art. Huge lines. All the women want to go inside to use the restrooms! Guess they don't like the port-a-potties. They are sitting on the benches to rest, sitting on the floors so they can recharge their phones. Security won't let them take their signs inside, so they are all stacked up at the entrances. Terrible.

Later walked through the crowds to reach the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. So many nasty signs - from nasty people. Not a tolerant crowd. Later saw that Frank Luntz tweeted about the March: "I've never seen such ineffective protesters in my life. They carry LOVE TRUMPS HATE signs while shouting disgusting comments. " and "For people who supposedly care about the environment, yesterday's protesters left trash all over D.C."

I guess a lot of men got to watch college basketball in peace.
