Looking at the true images of all Deplorables who were there at Trump45’s Inauguration, isnt it funny how the media is turning this into a “why are you (Sean Spicer) and Trump45 so concerned about something as un-noteworthy as attendance” …..ummmmmmm enemedia, didnt you make it a topic of “concern” when you denigrated our President Trump with images purporting the lack of attendance??
You cannot have it both ways, fools! Throw down the insult, Spicer, Trump45 and his people (yes, us Deplorables) will a have his six and throw down the gauntlet in your face. You dont like it?? Well cowboy up, your gonna throw muck, we will throw it back twice as much!

In the press briefing today when the CNN idiot kept on and on about crowd size I was hoping Sean would say to him:
“Word of advice: when you are standing in this deep of a hole, quit digging!”
And then put his hand above his eyes like he is seaching the press crowd and add: “Yep, you are so deep I can barely see you anymore so let me take a question over here on the other side of the room.” Everyone in that room would have been laughing except for the CNN idiot. Ridicule – the best weapon to defeat morons.

If CNN, MSNBC, or the Washington Post had existed in 1776, they would have classified Thomas Paine as a terrorist, exposing his failed business ventures, failed marriages, and revealing him to be too pugnacious and nasty to be taken seriously. They couldn’t demand that he release his tax returns, since the individual income tax didn’t get enacted until 137 years later in the dreadful year of 1913. They would have glorified King George III as a benevolent father figure and boldly predicted a landslide victory for the British Army against Washington’s ragtag army of farmers.

Go back and read the articles from that time… it was almost as bad. Same thing occurred during the time of Lincoln too. The press throughout our history has been used as the tool of the elite to sway public opinion one way or the other. Only now, with the internet are we able to fight back (and that is on a dangerous thread right now).
Heck the “elite” of that time wanted Washington to be king! It was he who was able to stand up against them. Trump displays all the signs of being an amazing historical figure.

Excellent video.
This whole thing has been so bizarre (and wonderful). For all my years as a politics junkie and even a political writer/satirist, I have never been so glued to the goings on of a certain candidate. I have never watched more of an inauguration than just the swearing in. I have never spent the entire day watching every moment of an inauguration day, the parade, the balls, all of it.
And I’ve never been this excited about a President. Even all the while a tiny voice within my cynical self telling me I’m being suckered into a cult-like following, I am able to ignore it because the source of my strong belief in this man is my love of my country, something I established years ago now I would do anything for.
Today was particularly sweet because I was able to tell that little voice to shut up after watching this President get to work immediately on the things he promised.
No other candidate in any office has done that in my recollection. None has ever been so aggressive and so completely aligned with what he campaigned on. I laughed so much during the Spicer press conference when certain media fools seemed to almost be questioning why Trump didn’t do literally everything he promised in one day, realizing how much he actually did in his first work day.
Obama was a joke. W was a joke. Clinton was a joke. Bush 41 was a joke. Even Reagan, as great a man as he was, and as great a President as he was, in comparison to Trump was less than was needed due to surrounding himself with many of the wrong people.
Trump surrounded himself with precisely who he wanted, and he has a powerful vision and an unshakeable resolve to make that vision a reality.
This country has never had a leader like this. We are in Terra Incognita. We have had some leaders who could have been as strong and effective as Trump, but didn’t have his vision. And we’ve had leaders who had a vision like him, but were ineffective, whether due to their own limitations or limiting factors beyond their control. We now have both in Trump.
And most importantly, he is beholden to nobody except the people. His reelection depends entirely on results, not campaign contributions. If he does even half of what he promised in his first term, he won’t even need to bother campaigning. This is a first.
Day 1 has convinced me beyond any shadow of a doubt that all he said is exactly what he meant. And his continued success in the face of incredible odds and opposition convinced me back in November that he has the ability to make it happen.
I don’t even know what America will look like 4 years from now. But it will certainly be much greater than it has become. The potential is unlimited.
I can’t wait to see it.

AND ALL OF IT is due to this website! without it and sundance i could never do daily battle with the libtards on social media. it isn’t easy but trump said it wouldn’t be. i will fight with all my will, strength, and breath for this administration for as long as it takes.

Yes, it would have created a huge distraction, but perhaps less of a distraction then what would have happened if the sky had just opened up and started pouring buckets of rain.

On this C-SPAN video, at 3:35 one military man comes down the stairs behind Pres. Trump and lays an umbrella down (can’t see where). Right after that in his speech Trump thanks Obama, and the cameras switch to Obama’s face. Then at about 3:57 you can see all those military men coming down behind Trump. One of them immediately turns around and goes off screen. The others stand there from about 4:14 to 4:33, when he returns. They do not look at anyone or put anything down. At about 4:38, the returnee says something to them, and they all turn around and leave. It seems unlikely to me that so many people would be sent with umbrellas. I’ve seen a single member of the military hold an umbrella over Obama in the Rose Garden.
