LIVE THREAD: Inauguration of the 45th President of the United States

By the way Barron appears to be a perfectly normal almost 11 year old, although he actually looks older than that to me.  Maybe because he's tall.  Anyway, he seems to be handling things just fine so I have no idea why he wasn't there last night but it's good to see the whole family together today.  It's something they will always remember.

I agree ... and he's only ten.  (He does seem painfully shy ... and good for him for pushing through it!)

I haven't watched an inauguration since GW Bush's second.  Do the states no longer submit floats for the parade?  If not, when did this cease and why?

cnn is just saying trump wanted to tone down parade, wanted it to be military focused.

Just saw Trump walk by.

  @Hoodat  where are you in DC?

yes he does.

In #738 he is seen genuinely enjoying his little niece/nephew baby. A warm smile.

From the back, I can't tell who is wearing the winter white pantsuit, but the asymmetrical peplum jacket is a fashion miss.

I like the little girl's outfit...red coat and matching tights.

I think he has more of his mother's personality than his father's.  Melania seems to be a quiet, reserved individual.  I wish she would smile more but it may just not be her personality.  Oh well, we are who we are.

Trump just assumed possession of the WH.

yes he did....he looks genuinely happy there in the parade stands with Baron.

I enjoy this part....the first family in the stands watching the parade. The camera usually shows the family thru-out the parade.

[flowers]

Trump is really enjoying this!

They're all very lucky is a fairly mild weather day in Washington.

[Silver Pines]

I am amazed that none of the Trump women are limping.  I'd be stepping gingerly by now with all that walking in those high heels.  They're made of much stronger stuff than I.

@Unlimited

The moment they're inside and away from the cameras, they'll pull off those shoes.

Last summer when my husband's grandmother died, we had a little room set aside during the visitation where we could run inside and take a break from our heels.

Obviously someone is playing with the HAARP strings.

I guess nobody told this band and dancers they're not supposed to be their because the Donald is a racist.  Good for them.

Matthews: Trump Speech Was ‘Hitlerian,’ Jokes He Could Fix Nepotism Laws By Hanging Son-in-Law

MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews was a living, breathing edition of Notable Quotables on Inauguration Day, offering takes ranging from joking about Mussolini and former President George W. Bush hugging Supreme Court justices to this now-infamous quip that President Trump’s speech was “Hitlerian.”

Matthews’s Nazism connection went hand-in-hand with other media reactions to Trump’s inaugural address, but this one came roughly 30 minutes after it ended.

“But I’m thinking when he said today ‘America First’ it was not just the racial, I mean the, um, I shouldn’t say racial, the Hitlerian background to it. But it was the message I kept thinking, what is Theresa May thinking this morning, when she picks up the papers and goes ‘My God, what did he just say, he said America first, what happened to the special relationship,’” Matthews complained.

He seems very happy to be saluting, and doing so well.

No...it's not his to possess.  It's ours.  He's a public servant.

Oh, they were told that, a LOT.

But nobody with any sense listens to the Left.  When they start calling salad racist...it's obvious they don't know what is the meanings of the words on their cue-cards.

Post Reporter Compares Violent D.C. Rioters to Boston Tea Party
By Kristine Marsh | January 20, 2017 | 3:48 PM EST
 

Friday morning through early afternoon, anti-Trump and anarchist rioters calling themselves #DisruptJ20 took to the streets of Washington D.C. to protest Trump’s inauguration. Their protest took several forms, from blocking entrances and freeways, to violence in the forms of vandalism, destruction and throwing concrete at police officers. While many in the media expressed dismay at the violence, some still justified the violence as a legitimate form of protest, including one Washington Post reporter.

I just heard they had to set up a Go Fund Me Page to be able to attend.  I salute each and every one of them for not bowing down to the race baiters.  They will remember this day their entire lives.
