Why?
Did no one realize we have the power to take back our government now?

So grateful there were so many
Boston crowd may have been largest. All over the country the crowds were huge -- and peaceful.
Who will motivate and mobilize these millions of citizens to actually take back our government? We the people must arrest and jail Trump and his Cabinet of criminals.

close but no cigar.
Standard notation rules say we should just do each operation in turn unless there are parentheses to isolate an operation.
So, the answer is 12.

Like many journalists in sensitive positions, he was a spy.
Or perhaps, like many spies, he was a journalist.

Yes, they enthusiastically do.
They voted for a dictator.
We gave power to the people and the people gave it to King Donald.

I think I know this guy's grandparents. We talked like this to the soldiers around the pentagon in 1967.

Does the new Arabian version have an elevator he can use?

Hmmm. He played them like fools. Maybe they were fools.
That doesn't justify their treatment, but it tempers my sympathy.

If you're not scared, you're not paying attention. The point is to be prepared.

Welcome to the world as it is. My country broke my heart when I was 20 as well. But that was nearly 60 years ago.

Please correct my math, but it seems from your data that Voyager 1 is traveling faster than one million kilometers per hour.

Or you could try appealing to some higher emotion than hate and fear.

"It's descriptive and not prescriptive." Where did you memorize that line from?
Let me describe your TWAW motto: It states as fact without evidence a controversial idea.
Now, I don't want to prescribe anything, but you may want to consider providing evidence when you try to convince people.

Meanwhile, thanks for your clarification of your meaning.

Well, it doesn't make much sense to me either, but I thought I ought to allow for the possibility that sometimes people in this kind of discussion make an elementary mistake of logic called ambiguity in academic circles. They switch meaning in the middle of an argument.

It pays to be precise.
You say that trans women are women. Do you mean that they possess a certain state of mind or a certain body type? Or both? Or sometimes one and other times the other? Are your listeners meant to be as confused as Macbeth and the Witch King?

In Shakespeare’s play, Macduff, who was “not of woman born” because he was “from his mother’s womb untimely ripped,” kills Macbeth, who foolishly did not consider the difference.
In LOTR, Merry, a Hobbit, and Eowyn, an adult human female, kill the Witch King, who was sure no “man” might hinder him.

When you describe someone as a woman, are you talking about an internal state of mind or an external condition of the body? Or both?
Sometimes, it’s important to know.

Yeah, logic is great stuff. "Good morning" is also a phrase used by bigots. Does that mean you never use it?
Try this for logic: "I want things to be different, so they are."
Doesn't really work, does it?

not a bigot. just a lover of language pointing out that the words themselves are not evidence of anything. Trans women are lovely people. They are not women, but that's ok.
