The entire atmosphere surrounding all of this is completely different than it was in 2016 and 2020.

Things just kind of feel normal again.

It's like all the loudest voices either screamed themselves out or they aren't being platformed anymore and/or we just finally, collectively tuned them out for a change.

It's kind of nice, innit?

Happy Inauguration Day!

JAYNEZTOWN

early 90s and mid 90s were ok, the Soviets had collapsed but Bush senior and Clinton and Bush junior wasted it

Today?
Millions of illegals in the USA and Europe, the Europeans have more of the islamist types

I see a lot of smoke and ash and flickers of fire still blowing in California LA

the Technocracy takes over, Lindsey Graham, Mike Johnson and other RINOs on tv made out to be these fake Ronald Reagan characters

NYC public transport looks terrible

and some people wanting cities fixed, with live feeds of mass shootings in Chicago

yeah maybe its a nice song to whistle or play your guitar or karaoke

and remember when Scorpions, Ralph Riekermann admits he attended snuff parties, where guest paid over $100K to watch a live murder?

this was at a time when Weinstein rumors were breaking and stories of David Cameron placing his genitals in the mouth of a dead pig after joining Oxford University Masonic Rome Babylon pagan Occult society.

people didnt give it a lot of credibility and thought maybe Ralph Rieckermann was coming of some drugs or something

Scorps were a bit before my time. I remember being around 11 or 12 and hearing Winds of Change for the first time on a long gone Hard Rock station and loved it. I was the oldest brother and cousin and didn't really have anybody older than me influencing me into music, so I pretty much listened to pop crap until I was in Jr. High and then my tastes went all over the map.

I know nothing about the lead singer or any Eyes Wide Shut parties they went to, but I'm not surprised to hear it.

But I wasn't asking you about the current state of the world. We know that's been fucked for quite a while.

I was just asking you about the temperature of the moment is all.

It seems a hell of a lot cooler than the last two election cycles were. I don't see all the hate and panic and crazy talk. I'm not saying all of that doesn't still exist, but outside of inflicting the two Goobers upon myself here, it hasn't encroached upon my bubble even by accident this time. It felt like you were drowning in it for the last 8 years.

Things are pretty normal.

It just doesn't feel normal because nothing has been normal for so long now.

For Trumptards, their reality is one hallucination after another painted on their brains. Trump is the greatest artist they have known. He makes them feel elevated and significant. But in actuality, Trump is an old fat con man and they are angry poor white trash. Trump can't change actuality, but his Trumptards won't notice because of their hallucinations.

As 6ixStringJack writes: "Do you feel like the winds of change are blowing today too?"

Yes, Trump publicly gave Trumptards a blowjob, today.

Highlights:

• Trump declares an emergency at the southern border even though there's patently no emergency.

• Trump reinstates "Remain in Mexico," but can he do that without Mexico's cooperation?

• He's going to tell everyone in his administration to bring down prices. Um, sure.

• He's declaring a national energy emergency. What emergency?

• The Green New Deal is dead.

• Trump lies yet again that tariffs are a tax on foreign nations.

• No more government censorship! Not that there ever was.

• Law and order! But crime is at a historic low already.

• No more pronoun nonsense. We have men, women, and nothing in between.

• He's seriously planning to change "Gulf of Mexico" to "Gulf of America."

• Also, Denali will be renamed back to Mt. McKinley.

• And Panama is treating us unfairly so we're going to take the canal back.

• This comes minutes after saying his deepest wish is to be known as a unifier and peacemaker.

• From this day forward America will be a free and sovereign nation. What?

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Most Democrats Think Their Party Sucks, Feel "Burned Out": CNN Poll

A 58% majority of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say that the Democratic Party needs major changes, or to be completely reformed, up from just 34% who said the same after the 2022 midterm elections, when the party retained control of the Senate but lost the House. Over that time, the share of Republicans and Republican leaners who feel the same way about the GOP has ticked downward, from 38% to 28%. -CNN

Second just can't help himself.

I wasn't asking you, Goober.

Nobody cares about your opinion.

P.S. I was going to post a list of first-day executive orders that he signed, but it looks like Kevin Dump was on top of it. I'll leave his list up there because it's funny.

Yup.

And the Democrat party has absolutely nobody they can run in 2028.

They're going to have to spend 4 years grooming somebody for the role. Nobody will vote for any known Democrat for President.

Oh... And the Senate map looks so bad for them that Democrats won't control it again until my old man's a great grandfather.

Joe Biden* knows they're blowing...

Biden pardons his family members minutes before Trump takes over the White House

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/3293098/biden-pard
ons-family-members-last-minute/

So.... He pardons his family. He pardon's Fauci. He pardon's Liz Cheney. He pardon's all the neocons. He pardon's everyone involved in his J6 commission.

These are all preemptive parons too, mind. Meaning that he just made it so we can't put actual criminals on trials for their crimes against humanity.

I think Trump should disregard this.

Trump’s Real Inaugural Address

The president delivered his true message after the main event.

Given the limited space in the rotunda, an overflow room was set up in the Capitol Visitor Center. It was for the dignitaries who didn’t quite carry the statesmanlike import of TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, whose company is presently operating domestically in violation of federal law. Gov. Ron DeSantis was obviously in the overflow room.

But this crowd ended up getting the real speech after the overworked formality Trump was forced to read off of the teleprompter. Still only an hour into his second presidency, Trump was cooking, in an uninterrupted riff about whatever was on his mind.

According to Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and first lady Melania Trump forced him to take out some of the more “controversial” elements of his Inaugural speech that he wanted to keep in—like celebrating the Jan. 6 “hostages.” The president reiterated his belief that the 2020 election was “rigged” and thought that he should’ve won California. He talked about some parts of the border wall that would dissolve if hit with acid and that people would climb in “like rabbits” if not built with the proper materials. He kept breaking, from whatever it was he was doing, to converse with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. Most importantly, he was having a good time.

“This was a better speech than the one I made upstairs,” he told the overflow crowd, an observation that was somehow both fully true and wholly false.

The sense that this speech overshadowed what came before was, on the whole, quite familiar. Each thing that Trump says will be surpassed by something he says 10 minutes later, rendering the original event as good as dead. This was before Trump had even stopped by the Capitol One Arena to visit yet another overflow crowd, or settled into the Resolute desk at the White House, or attended several inaugural balls. More would be said, and what was said immediately before that would recede into memory.

In short, welcome back to President Blowhard blowing his Trumptards 24/7.

Well you've done nothing but bitch and whine about Trump for the last 4 years when he wasn't President.

I'm looking forward to seeing you implode these next 4 years.

Trump makes Trumptards' dangling parts tingle. Trumptards hate to be called Nazis and Racists because they understand those words mean they are being viewed as contemptible and Trumptards are certain that is unfair. When Trump is attacked, Trumptards have the same reaction: it is unfair. Trumptards will never understand the contempt for them is justified, no more than the slave owning Confederates and Jew killing Nazis could understand why they were attacked despite their marvelous achievements and wonderful personalities.

Scott Aaronson writes on January 20, 2025:

My view of Trump is the same as it’s been for a decade — that he’s a con man, a criminal, and the most dangerous internal threat the US has ever faced in its history. I think Congress and Merrick Garland deserve eternal shame for not moving aggressively to bar Trump from office and then prosecute him for insurrection — that this was a catastrophic failure of our system, one for which we’ll now suffer the consequences. If this time Trump got 52% of some swing state rather than 48%, if the “zeitgeist” or the “vibes” have shifted, if the “Resistance” is so weary that it’s barely bothering to show up, if Bezos and Zuckerberg and Musk and even Sam Altman now find it expedient to placate the tyrant rather than standing up for what previously appeared to be their principles — well, I don’t see how any of that affects how I ought to feel.

_______________________________________________

The third plotline was the end of TikTok, quickly followed by its (temporary?) return on Trump’s order. As far as I can tell, Instagram, Twitter/X, and TikTok have all been net negatives for the world; it would’ve been far better if none of them had been invented. But, OK, our society allows many things that are plausibly net-negative, like sports betting and Cheetos. In this case, however, the US Supreme Court ruled 9-0 (!!) https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24-656_ca7d.pdf that Congress has a legitimate interest in keeping Chinese Communist Party spyware off 170 million Americans’ phones — and that there’s no First Amendment concern that overrides this security interest, since the TikTok ban isn’t targeting speech on the basis of its content. I found the court’s argument convincing. I hope TikTok goes dark 90 days from now — or, second-best, that it gets sold to some entity that’s merely bad in the normal ways and not a hostile foreign power.

Dude... I've thought about Trump maybe twice since I voted for him.

You think about Trump more in 3 hours than I do in any given year.

Grow up, will ya?
