'Nasty' is correct! Liberals usual home (when they're not protesting) is under the rim of a toilet.
Before Donald Trump's first full day as President of the United States even began, women across the world woke up early in preparation to protest against him.

More than 200,000 people are participating in the Women's March on Washington, which is expected to be the largest inauguration-related demonstration in US history.
Protesters chanted 'Thank you Obama!' before the rally kicked off at 10am with a rousing speech from actress America Ferrera.
‘The president is not America, his cabinet is not America,' Ferrera began. ‘We are America, and we are here to stay. We march for our families, for our neighbors, for our futures.’
‘We march today for the moral core of this nation, against which our president is waging a war’
‘We are gathered here across the country and the world to say Mr Trump we refuse,' Ferrera continued.
'We reject the demonization of our Muslim brothers and sisters, we demand an end to the system murder and incarceration of our black brothers and sisters, we will not give our rights to safe and legal abortions, we will not ask our LGBTQ families to go backwards, we will not go from being a nation of immigrants to a nation of ignorance.’
'We won’t build walls and we won't see the worst in each other and we won’t turn our backs on the more than 750,000 young immigrants in this country.'
'Together we, all of us, will fight, resist and oppose every action that threatens the lives and dignity of any and all of our communities.'
'Marchers, make no mistake. We are, every single one of us, on attack. Our safety and freedom are on the chopping block and we are the only ones who can protect one another.'
'If we do not fight together…we will lose together.'

There are more than two million registered marchers, according to the official Women's March website.
Despite its massive popularity, the march has angered some of Hillary Clinton's most ardent supporters.
On Thursday the organizers of the Women's March on Washington released a list that included 27 names of revolutionary women they wrote had 'paved the way' for Saturday's protests.
The list included the likes of Gloria Steinem, Angela Davis, Harriet Tubman and Malala Yousafzai, but Clinton - the first female presidential candidate for a major political party - was notably left off the list.
Clinton's supporters created a petition - which has been signed by 7,500 people - to have her name included on the list and tried to spearhead their movement on Twitter with the hashtag #AddHerName.
The former Secretary of State has no plans to attend the march herself.
