Is anybody else watching the inauguration?

[fisharmor]

The four-year-long episode starts today...

[fisharmor]

Hillary just came on screen, and she is forcibly smiling...

[fisharmor]

What did they play at inaugurations before John Philip Sousa wrote all his work?

[fisharmor]

Seriously, nobody else is watching? There's no way I'm going to take my eyes off this...

They have all the SCOTUS justices and ex-presidents standing outside by the podium right now.

[TheTexan]

Seriously, nobody else is watching? There's no way I'm going to take my eyes off this...

I would think many of us are watching. It's quite possibly, the most important event that will occur in our lifetimes.

[juleswin]

Watching this instead

Well I'm watching in case something crazy happens.

[fisharmor]

I'm trying to see if there's a rhyme or reason to the subtitles on this link I'm watching. When the senators came out of the capitol, there was a subtitle for Rand Paul that said "CONSTITUTION". Nothing like that has happened since.

[fisharmor]

I think they're showing the corner where Miriam Carey got murdered. ETA not intentionally, of course.

[specsaregood]

Is this streaming online somewhere? link?

No way would I want to be there, what with that old CIA bastard, Bush passing on attending.

Wow, 480k people watching on Youtube. That is some superbowl type numbers for youtube. But it seems like dislikes are greater than the likes on the video. Not good :(

anybody taking the time to like/dislike a live stream of an inauguration needs to take the stick out of their ass.

[fisharmor]

The YT link is clearer and has less of a delay than the Billboard link.

What translation of Matthew is this guy reading? I didn't even recognize it at first.

I think its just a way for people to show their approval/disapproval of the man. I have to confess that I voted and I don't think I have a stick up my ass :)

[fisharmor]

OMG this choral piece is AWFUL

[A. Havnes]

OMG this choral piece is AWFUL

Finally over!

[William Tell]

who is that wavy haired girl behind Trump?

[William Tell]

Trump drinks _____ water

[Origanalist]

I'm working, let me know if anything noteworthy happens at the scheduled evolution of the parasite class inhabiting DC.

[fisharmor]

He's going for blood in his speech!

[fisharmor]

He's said in not many more syllables that a political class has benefited by centralizing power in DC, and that all ends today.

[CaptUSA]

Yeah... think I'll go about living my life. Let us know if anything interesting happens.

[bunklocoempire]

Watching The Liberty Report right now.

[Valli6]

I have it on in the background.

[undergroundrr]

I don't trust the MSM fake news. Here's what they're saying -

Trump sworn in, marking a transformative shift in the country's leadership - Washington Post

Washington Prepares to Be Upended by President Trump - New York Times

[A. Havnes]

I'm working, let me know if anything noteworthy happens at the scheduled evolution of the parasite class inhabiting DC.

So far same old.

[fisharmor]

Ok he's gone significantly downhill. Drugs are bad, eliminate terrorists completely, defend borders.

[William Tell]

Says he will eradicate radical islamic terrorism.

[specsaregood]

Yeah... think I'll go about living my life. Let us know if anything interesting happens.

OMG, he just unveiled a giant owl statue and symbolically set it on fire!

[fisharmor]

Fellating law enforcement.

[undergroundrr]

Pretty interesting that for a few moments Pence was Obama's VP.

[TheTexan]

That was beautiful, just so beautiful

God bless America

[timosman]

Pretty interesting that for a few moments Pence was Obama's VP.

Whole 10 minutes.

[bunklocoempire]

Solomon was all about entangling alliances.

[fisharmor]

This is the smarmiest shit I've watched in some time.

[bunklocoempire]

NBC commentary is priceless.

[William Tell]

NBC expert worried about America First slogan being isolationism.

[fisharmor]

These NBC idiots are shocked that he didn't say what they wanted him to say.

[specsaregood]

NBC commentary is priceless.

hey nbc talking heads, if you were "squirming" through much of that speech, it means you were feeling guilty. just saying...

[bunklocoempire]

Calling out politicians had NBC guy "squirming". lol

[specsaregood]

Calling out politicians had NBC guy "squirming". lol

yeah, listen to these guys defending politicians. lol they are on the wrong side of the public sentiment on this.

[timosman]

These NBC idiots are shocked that he didn't say what they wanted him to say.

Switching to ABC w/Stephanopoulos.

[bunklocoempire]

I hope someone gootubes the NBC/CIA commentary.

[Jan2017]

Obamas about to get on Marine One and fly on outta there.

[Valli6]

Yeah, NBC commentary is more entertaining. Thanks for the tip guys. :)

[bunklocoempire]

Helicopter for departure for former PUSA? I think a trebuchet would've been more appropriate.

[specsaregood]

Obamas about to get on Marine One and fly on outta there.

going on vacation to palm springs... I guess when you gotta pay for vacation yourself, you go domestic.

[undergroundrr]

Yep, NBC was a great listen.

[CaptUSA]

OMG, he just unveiled a giant owl statue and symbolically set it on fire!

Couldn't they find a real owl?

[bunklocoempire]

NBC: Obama economy is outta sight!

[tod evans]

Huh?

Did something change?

Can't tell here..........

[bunklocoempire]

NBC:

~hugs~ Obama new tradition.

[timosman]

ABC shows helicopter blades going through the heads of the new administration. :eek:

[PatriotOne]

watching cbs coverage.....a Trump dig every minute. Obama getting the sainthood treatment.

[presence]

I would think many of us are watching. It's quite possibly, the most important event that will occur in our lifetimes.

I put up a huge white billboard on the mountaintop out back and rented a projector and loudspeakers, I'm going to play rerun's after dark.

[Carlybee]

Took the day off to work my side biz and haven't stopped..now to class. Guess I'll try to catch it on
Youtube.

[Mordan]

Great speech.

This forum has become useless. Nobody has anything interesting to say. Some soul searching needed here. I come here and feel like I am in a emotional liberal forum.

About 1/3 of the speech was great - the "philosophical" part. Then came the specifics - Islam fear, yuge spending programs, mercantilism. But if those are your thing, then yeah, great speech. I have the same problem with this place as you, but it's because of trumpies whining if you point out that he's spewing the same neocon bullcrap with a "right-wing" America First™ spin. Lap up every last drop if you like. Not for me.

[PierzStyx]

Well I'm watching in case something crazy happens.

Does the fact that Trump's gesticulations are incoherent and repetitive count as crazy? Seriously, guy cycles through the same three gestures every sentence. Sometimes two or three times.

[PierzStyx]

Great speech.

Ironic since Trump is basically FDR. Government spending programs to boost the economy, government interference in private business decisions, economic protectionism, militarism, Trump has it all. Only Leftists voted for Trump.

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

Is anybody else watching the inauguration?




Nopes. Did anybody pull a William Henry Harrison and leave his jacket at home?

[MelissaWV]

I listened to a significant portion of it at work. Whether it's the portions I agreed with, or the larger portion I didn't agree with, it's still all words. I will admit to an unfounded hope that, when they were all smooching his backside while he was signing executive orders (not the important sort), he would tell them he was going to sign them all with the same pen. Instead he let them "remind" him into using a different one for each item, so they could be given away as expensive little mementos.

Only time will tell what actually gets DONE in this administration, which is what is worrisome.

[JK/SEA]

watching the Barrett-Jackson car auction. I'm focused on the BOSS 302 Mustangs that are there...10 of them going on the block. So far the average price is 65k for one of these.

[Jan2017]

Just saw some inaugural ball footage . . .
Trump and First Lady very slow dancin' together did kinda look more like a tycoon old man and daughter . . . just sayin'

Thank God it wasn't HillyBilly at least.

Fer' da' res' of us in the USA . . . enjoy inauguration day I guess.

SEE IT: President Trump, Melania perform 'painful' first inaugural dance to Frank Sinatra’s ‘My Way’



Everybody do the 1-2-step.
Donald Trump’s first dance with wife Melania at the Liberty inaugural ball, to Frank Sinatra’s “My Way,” was a basic dance as the President shuffled his way across the stage.
Trump has rarely been seen dancing before and fans were curious about his skills on the dance floor.

I'll tell you what. This country has slipped so much that it's nice to have a President who actually gives a damn about Americans and our country and will put us first in trade deals, illegal immigration, etc. No American in their right mind would have a problem with this.

He's far from perfect and I would imagine we agree on some of these, but he sure beat the hell out of the alternatives. And yes, that includes Mr. TPP and his North American Union running mate.

its also risky bashing Trump this early, as one could end up with egg all over their faces...

yep...we'll see.

Negotiating trade deals to favor Americans in previous administrations versus negotiating trade deals to favor Americans in this administration is an apples to apples comparison. Free trade and free markets would actually benefit Americans.

Free trade and free markets would actually benefit Americans.Free trade has been replaced by fair trade. Oh, and the government gets to tell you what fair means. You can't decide on your own.


Maybe fair prices will be next.

yep the quality of the replies make my mind go blank.

Make the Iraq war fair, we should get their oil, its only fair.


“If we kept the oil, you probably wouldn’t have ISIS because that’s where they made their money in the first place, so we should have kept the oil, but, OK, maybe we’ll have another chance,”

There was something for every Trump supporters. If Trump had made a pure libertarian speech, the people that don't think like you would have been angry.
If you don't like it, go hit the streets and change the mind of the people. Seeing from the way hardcore libertarians treat people who don't agree with them, that's a far bet.

A POTUS inauguration speech is not supposed to be for just the supporters, but for all Americans.

[Zippyjuan]

Actually it is about what will be good for Donald. Reminds me of an old SNL bit with Al Franken. Substitute "Donald Trump".


Jane Curtin: Well, the 1970's are in their final month, and with some thoughts on this decade and the one we're about to enter, here's Weekend Update's Social Sciences Editor Al Franken.

Al Franken: Thank you, Jane. Well, the "me" decade is almost over, and good riddance, and far as I'm concerned. The 70's were simply 10 years of people thinking of nothing but themselves. No wonder we were unable to get together and solve any of the many serious problems facing our nation. Oh sure, some people did do some positive things in the 70's - like jogging - but always for the wrong reasons, for their own selfish, personal benefit. Well, I believe the 80's are gonna have to be different. I think that people are going to stop thinking about themselves, and start thinking about me, Al Franken. That's right. I believe we're entering what I like to call the Al Franken Decade. Oh, for me, Al Franken, the 80's will be pretty much the same as the 70's. I'll still be thinking of me, Al Franken. But for you, you'll be thinking more about how things affect me, Al Franken. When you see a news report, you'll be thinking, "I wonder what Al Franken thinks about this thing?", "I wonder how this inflation thing is hurting Al Franken?" And you women will be thinking, "What can I wear that will please Al Franken?", or "What can I not wear?" You know, I know a lot of you out there are thinking, "Why Al Franken?" Well, because I thought of it, and I'm on TV, so I've already gotten the jump on you. So, I say let's leave behind the fragmented, selfish 70's, and go into the 80's with a unity and purpose. That's what I think. I'm Al Franken. Jane?

Jane Curtin: Thank you, Al. That's the news. Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

[Origanalist]

yep the quality of the replies make my mind go blank.

I'm thinking you should look for a other cause of your affliction.

Not sure I get you, "Count." You are all for fair trade and government intervention. Please explain. :confused:

[LibertyEagle]

Negotiating trade deals to favor Americans in previous administrations versus negotiating trade deals to favor Americans in this administration is an apples to apples comparison. Free trade and free markets would actually benefit Americans.

Free trade and free markets can only exist after one ton of regulations are ripped out. Of course you realize what we have now is far from free trade. Or maybe you don't.
