Only a week now, just a short 7 days until Donald Trump's inauguration. Still time to order your fireworks, catering, music, booze or other celebratory aids.
I don't think Trump fingering his wife/gf or daughter would change his mind. Sad man.

But at least Hillary's markers won't be called, from all the foreigners she was obligated to. We also get to remain a sovereign nation...for now. :D

Holy shit, that's some big news right there. I could speculate on the reasons but our friends here on the left can't differentiate between speculation, opinion and facts so it's not worth the time it would take to type.

I wonder how many fights are going to break out during the Inauguration and how many people are going to go above and beyond peaceful protesting? Me thinks there will be many arrests. I have a feeling the authorities are not fucking around with those who get out of line.

It increasingly looks like the US is perched on the precipice of social and political upheaval that could make the 60s look like a neighborhood cocktail mixer.

I doubt it. With no Vietnam War pushing the agenda of the left there's not nearly the impetus they need for massive protests. Just 5 days away from a true sea change in American politics.

oh yea, with all those lobbyists and insiders lining his cabinet appointments, it's definitely some new ground.
well, we do have the most resoundingly unqualified person ever elected poised to take the office, so there is that, you got that going for you.

LOL, busted.

You have to admit, posting anything negative about Hillary was like walking in front of a bus.

BTW, you and the others that took all that shit have my respect, I just got tired of stepping in front of that bus.

Am happy as hell the election is over, curious how our new POTUS will do, it was a brutal election, and we dodged a bullet, a Hillary admin would have made Nixon look like a choirboy.

Trump is Nixon on steroids to begin with, with the same character flaws and more money he inherited from birth.

He suffers from the "Other billionaires don't take me seriously" even worse than Nixon did about not being accepted intellectually.

I'd look for an API or Reuters link, but why bother.

An appropriate quote for today.

"We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."

Trump is basically doing the creating a new Swamp "technically", while "Draining the Swamp" in his favor.

The Star Trek Bar and Carnival freak show will be out in force. The before and after pic's should be interesting. Last time there was a critical mass of libTards it took a week to clean up the tons of trash they left behind.

I wonder if Lawrence Welk would do it.... besides the fact he's dead, the time period would be about right... 1950s LOL

If we're going back to the 1950s, or even the 1960s, maybe the POTUS should parade around in a nice big Lincoln convertible.

You'd be unhappy no matter what. He's a Republican, he's male and he's white. That's not the type of president you'd have any love for.

And he's also close friends with a sex slaver, a rapacious boor that arranges beauty pageants as a facade in order to waltz into changing rooms, a man with no qualms about demonizing entire ethnic groups, a self-admitted molester, been squandering the vast inheritance from his fath-

Ah fuck it, we've been in this circle before.

Two things I've learned from the President-Elect Angry Tangerine this morning:

1) approval rating doesn't matter as president, polls are rigged
2) someone around him will have to delicately explain that his name isn't being chanted in celebration
