If there was ever a sign of things to come, the very beginning of Trump's second Presidency is looking frail. Trump is expected to have a tiny inauguration crowd next week. In fact one of the smallest ever in our history. The day is made even worse as in presumed response to his inauguration, thousands of schools across the Midwest are expected to be closed the day of the Inauguration.

It’s gonna be indoors. In the Capitol rotunda.
Wouldn’t it be a thing of ironic beauty if he dies on his Inauguration Day, right on the spot desecrated by his suckers?
Wish I was religious - I could pray.

The best thing about the next four years, is that every day brings heightened probability that he’s gonna croak.
 
I'm telling you, the dark money is going to unalive him asap after the inauguration. They will be in the place of power they've spent decades working toward and will no longer need him. Vance is waaaaaaay easier to control.

Edit: I'm not promoting anything. In fact, I am adamant that no matter what foul creature bullies and buys its way into our highest office, harming that individual is an assault on our country, and an act of war if by foreign actors. It's the office that we all must respect regardless of what old potato peel holds it. I'm just saying, the dark money and maga agents of depravity will no longer need him once he's sworn in. The last time, there wasn't enough of a foothold and I don't think they thought he'd win anyway. But now they're well positioned to enact violent theocracy, and he's a loose cannon.

Time for change! Get those prices back down.

Oh wait... no... first some noise.

“America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on Earth — inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world,” Trump said. “A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.”

Today... said that today. Fuck! Who fucking cares about the gulf?! But wait... there is more from his inauguration address.

“American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way, shape or form, and that includes the Uited States Navy,” Trump claimed. “And above all, China is operating the Panama Canal and we didn’t give it to China. We gave it to Panama. And we’re taking it back."

You were being serious about the Panama Canal?

Oh here we go. Economics.

“We will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens,” Trump said during his inaugural address. “For this purpose, we are establishing the External Revenue Service to collect all tariffs, duties and revenues.”

First off, the "External Revenue Service"? Was the whole DOGE plan to cut costs by increasing bureaucracy?

Also, he still doesn't understand tariffs.

You know, I think I'm done. Wake me up in four years... or don't if necessary.
 
Prediction: he promised to be a dictator "only on day 1", but that will not be possible, as afyer getting up early for this inauguration, he will need to spend most of the day taking an nap.

The drilling should begin today, right?
 
I read an article I'm going to gift which I found very disturbing. Please read and give some reasonable input.

The president-elect and his family have a direct and potentially lucrative stake in the sale of a cryptocurrency product that surged in value in the hours after going on sale, days before his inauguration.

President-elect Donald J. Trump and his family on Friday started selling a cryptocurrency token featuring an image of Mr. Trump drawn from the July assassination attempt, a potentially lucrative new business that ethics experts assailed as a blatant effort to cash in on the office he is about to occupy again.

Disclosed just days before his second inauguration, the venture is the latest in a series of moves by Mr. Trump that blur the line between his government role and the continued effort by his family to profit from his power and global fame. It is yet another sign that the Trump family will be much less hesitant in this second term to bend or breach traditional ethical boundaries.

Mr. Trump himself announced the launch of his new business on Friday night on his social media platform, in between announcements about filling key federal government posts. He is calling the token $Trump, selling it with the slogan, “Join the Trump Community. This is History in the Making!”

The venture was organized by CIC Digital LLC, an affiliate of the Trump Organization, which already has been selling an array of other kinds of merchandise like Trump-branded sneakers, fragrances and even digital trading cards.

But this newest venture brings Mr. Trump and his family directly into the world of selling cryptocurrency, which is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mr. Trump recently disclosed he intended to name a cryptocurrency advocate as S.E.C. chairman.

A disclosure on the website selling the tokens says that CIC Digital and its affiliates own 80 percent of the supply of the new Trump tokens that will be released gradually over the coming three years and that they will be paid “trading revenue” as the tokens are sold.

The move by Mr. Trump and his family was immediately condemned by ethics lawyers who said they could not recall a more explicit profiteering effort by an incoming president.

“It is literally cashing in on the presidency — creating a financial instrument so people can transfer money to the president’s family in connection with his office” said Adav Noti, executive director of Campaign Legal Center, a nonprofit ethics group. “It is beyond unprecedented.”

There's more in the article. Not that we should be surprised that the felon is trying to commit more crimes while in office.....

Oh wait...one more thing from the link

“Trump Memes may be extremely volatile, and price fluctuations in cryptocurrencies could impact the price.”

Mr. Trump has already made clear that he will be working to promote the cryptocurrency industry.

He has announced his intention to appoint regulators who will lift restrictions on the sale of new tokens and ties between cryptocurrency companies and other more traditional financial enterprises.

This stands in contrast to efforts by Biden-era regulators to tightly regulate the industry, out of a concern that a sudden crash in the value of cryptocurrency could potentially lead to a future financial crash.
