Maybe it's wishful thinking but I think she and Donald may split up. Did you see how he treated her when they were entering the White House for tea with the Obamas? He left her and was walking in the door by himself until he realized he had left her behind. The Obamas had already taken her by each arm to gently escort her in...I mean, how gauche can he possibly be? I kind of feel for her.

I noticed that also. I think he may love her in his own way, but Donald loves Donald (and work) first. Maybe, sadly, she's used to it or accepted it for the obvious perks of marrying him. In my opinion, she's no trophy but a highly intelligent woman with a naturally reserved manner. Despite having lived here for several years, she seems much more "European reserved" than American.

Anything we come up with is simply a guess.

She may be a trophy, may not.

Regardless, I feel sorry for her.

Since I never know what goes on behind anyone's closed door; I will only post this:

"Trump says cheating on Ivana with Marla was 'beautiful' in 1994

BY CAMERON JOSEPH
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Saturday, October 8, 2016, 1:00 PM

WASHINGTON — If Donald Trump hadn't been caught red-handed he likely would have kept on cheating on his first wife, he admitted in a 1994 interview obtained by the Daily News."

Very good point.

Perhaps we have just been projecting feelings/motives/perspectives that are our own.

She is hardly an innocent victim that did not know what she was getting into as wife number 3.

Here's the photo I think you're seeking and it would have stayed wth me, too.


(Kiyoko Shima, pictured with daughters Linda Shima-Tsuno (left) and Sallie Smith, drew attention during the Women’s March in Downtown Los Angeles on Saturday. (Photos courtesy of Randall Tsuno))

Here's the link to the photo in case you want to email the link to anyone not on the planet:

https://s29.postimg.org/x8ve87mfr/IMG_0039.jpg

And this is the website where I found the photo and story of Ms. Shima.

http://www.rafu.com/2017/01/ja-famil...-womens-march/

Thanks for telling us about it.

It was actually warm enough for me to be outside for the whole day. Whew!

I don't have the skills to share a photo, but my sign said:

GRAB BACK!
FIGHT BACK!

NEVER GO BACK!


Besides my motorcycle club colors, I wore a rainbow feather boa, and I gave out rainbow leis to my Siren sisters, all also wearing our bad-ass motorcycle club patch. We weren't wearing pussy hats, but we did look fabulously gay. One of our signs said, 'Bykers Against Trump'. Several marchers told us how happy they were to see us because news media had been featuring a group which called itself Bikers For Trump, which had been pugnaciously declaring their intent to protect that idjit from whoever it is they think might threaten him. I was proud to be marching with a racially diverse group of women, and relieved that the leadership and message of the DC March was inclusive enough to draw a very diverse crowd.

The gorgeous variety and creativity of the sea of pussy hats in DC was impressive, but the most remarkable pussy hat moment was when I came upon a street vendor who was actually selling pink polar fleece knock-offs. I nearly hurt myself laughing to see that giant dude calling out to the assembled marchers, "PUSSY hats. Get your PUSSY HATS here".

I've been inspired to see the photos of worldwide marches and demonstrations. I loved the photo of the women in Antarctica, but one of my absolute favorites was of an elderly Japanese woman in a wheelchair whose sign said she had been interred for her race, and that we would never go back. Can someone with more advanced skills share that here if you come across it? Please and thank you.

I've never felt sorry for her. She made her bed and now she has to lie in it. Of course, her bed is likely gold-plated and cost more than my car did. As mentioned, she's not his first wife. It's no surprise what was to be expected of her; to sit still, be quiet unless specifically directed otherwise and to be pretty.

Highly intelligent, a recluse and happily married to some who continually cheats? The only way that would work is if she felt nothing for him at all and if it has become a marriage of convenience-vs-She apparently has said her father is like him so it's also possible she married the person closest to a replica of her father who she must worship?? In either case the weirdness is too much for my brain.

Default A Day Without A Woman

In the spirit of women and their allies coming together for love and liberation, we offer A Day Without A Woman. via @womensmarch on Twitter

I will be putting in for that day off, tomorrow. I'm wondering if there will be marches (this date was just announced today as I understand it) but if not, I'll be occupying the woods somewhere =)

I don't think I know what that is. I Googled it but couldn't find anything. I did find this though for the Day Without A Woman strike: http://www.refinery29.com/2017/02/14...an-information and, while there isn't a lot of information around it yet as they just announced the date today, (I follow the Women's March on Twitter and Facebook though) which is also International Women's Day, I'm anxious to learn the details of any positive actions recommended and/or marches. etc. I love how this is a perceived long term protest. Four freaking year long protest lol I'm all in though. For the long haul.
