Inauguration Day 2017

[Tomahawking4life]

Welcome to the 45th President of the United States, President Donald Trump!

I love Inauguration Day. It's always great to see a peaceful exchange of power. Hopefully this will be kept civil and the protestors will not cause a disruption. I also hope that President Trumps supporters in attendance are more respectful of the outgoing POTUS then what happened to President Bush in Obama's 2009 Inauguration.

As CC posted in another thread, we need to rally behind our new President, regardless of whether or not we voted for him. I personally didn't vote for him, but he still has my support. We are more divided as a country then anytime in my lifetime, and it's time for a change.

It's a two-way street. Trump has to earn people's respect and not seek to belittle differences of opinion. The world can do without his Twitter rants. This is the third president in a row that there has been considerable paranoia and fear from the other side from day one. A lot of people who voted for this man never showed the outgoing president one shred of civility the last eight years so I don't see it happening his last four hours in office or for the rest of his life.

Already have cars and restaurants smashed windows from the tolerant left.

These folks are vicious and quite dangerous.

But it will be forgotten in future arguments. Where were the riots when Obama won?

There weren't riots because we were too busy earning a living at our jobs. I wasn't happy at all when Obama won, but you know what. I accepted it and moved on.

Um, where were the riots when Trump won?

Save it. Where was this childish behavior when Obama won? There was unhappy people and there was wide spread disappointment. We moved on and accepted what our country decided. We were labeled racists because we didn't like Obama. The amount of disrespect for the elected President is astounding and these people hate America then, right?

No president has ever received the benefit of the doubt more than Obama. He was lauded as The Great Uniter, The Post-Racial President, and received a Nobel Peace Prize before proving anything besides his ability to run a campaign. So please spare us any attempts to make it look like this is tit for tat. The tantrum thrown by many, many people on the left since the election is beyond anything I would expect to see outside of a pre-school.

He got the benefit of the doubt from everyone except the far right, which labeled him the Anti-Christ, a secret agent Muslim out to take down America, using the military to round up our guns, etc. So, no, I'm not going to spare anyone on either side the pointing out of the enormous hypocrisy that runs through the political thoughts of so many people in this country.

Interesting speech by Trump. Stuck with the populist message that carried him into office. Between him and Sanders, populism was clearly resonating with the public. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out going forward.

It's a perfect storm. Less people working under Obama so they can riot against am opposing agenda.

The left likes to conveniently ignore their side is the violent side.
