Inauguration LIVE

This is boilerplate nationalism and lots of lofty ambitions.

When it doesn't work out, then comes the blaming 'those people' who are secretly sabotaging everything.
 
Well they did say it wasn't going to be about policy, so Trump is president and still no one knows what it is that he is actually going to do.
 
He just promised to eradicate radical Islamic terrorism completely from the face of the earth.

So there is something he can be judged against in four years' time. I wonder what his chances are?

Won't be long before the body bags start coming back.
 
Whatchoomean? He's gonna Make America Great Again! He said so himself!

I feel like we are all characters in the book/movie "On the Beach". We know that disaster is imminent, we just don't know precisely when and how. Or its like that scene in Ghostbusters where we're told to choose the form of the destroyer and Ray chooses the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man.

I just want to know which of you idiots chose Donald Trump?
 
Uh-oh. We have a "Glorious Destiny"™

Me no likely.

That, together with all the religious nationalistic paraphernalia, was frightening (the speech of that zealot broad was .... blargh!!).

But I saw the discourse as a way to say "I am the head of a movement" and "I am beyond parties", besides the obvious "in politics I owe nobody".

Many here continue to ignore the difference between a movement and a party. I think Trump was explicitly saying the links between him and the Republican party are tenuous and he's looking for support wherever he can find it.

We couldn't help it! He just popped in there!

Poor South Korea. After that speech, Kim Il-Unhinged probably figures he's got nothing to lose and might as well just go for it and lob a nuke into Seoul or even Tokyo.

I predict that foreign policy will be the main cause of a GOP rebellion against Trump....and it will happen soon.

My thought was of "The Birds", the quick intercuts where Tippi Hedren is watching the lit gasoline go up the trail from the car back to the pump. I've been watching all this happen but can't do anything about it.
 
I think about what I heard a writer wonder about Trump.

In the middle of the night when he has to go to the bathroom, does he ever look at his reflection in the mirror, ask himself:
"Why am I doing this? Do I really know what I'm doing? President of the United States?"
