| Quote: | |  | | | I've never watched an inauguration in real time because I was always at work. This time, I made a sandwich and sat down to watch it when the last of my wisdom teeth fell out. My dentist said this would happen last November and to let nature take it's course, but I've taken the timing as an omen.  So, I've yet to watch an inauguration in real time even though I've stayed up all night for the State Of The Nation Address dozens of times. | | | | | Crikey! Blueangel, what on earth was in that sandwich?   | | The following 2 users would like to thank for this useful post: | |

In the meantime, no substantive info about the actions taken by Trump, and everyone is exhausted. | | | | | Bingo.
Sometimes I wish the media would do their job on and report on things that are actually NEWS.
I heard a "journalist" say today "Trump tweeted about X and we chose to cover X" Never mind that X had zero to do with anything remotely related to politics  | | The following 4 users would like to thank DantesDame for this useful post: | |

And finally some words from Madonna at the March;- Madonna: 'Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House'
- Madonna ended her address with a rendition of her song, "Express Yourself," in which she sang, "Donald Trump, suck a dick, I'm not your bitch."

| Quote: | | | | | I saw Sean Spicer too! Sweating like a pig on a spit that lad and white as ghost. 
Then up steps KellyAnne Conway (inauguration costume and make-up by Ringling Bros Circus closing down sale) to defend the suckling Spicer with her "alternative facts" debarcle.

This evening's Swiss news put up images of Trump's tweets and translated his rant against the media. What about his executive orders and his Cabinet confirmations?

So far only two Cabinet confirmations; the Democrats are trying to slow the process but I doubt they will suceed?

Following that logic we should all go protest in Turkey now.

| Quote: | | | | | | | | | | Take out all the subjective bs, innuendo and personal "feelings", and what you have left is a news story about some French nationals trying to enter the country without proper visa's / paperwork, who were subsequently turned away.
Other Canadians were questioned and then allowed to enter.
The horror! How dare those jack booted CBP agents do their job.
