The Political Thread

Donald John Trump completed a remarkable return to power on Monday as he was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States in a midday ceremony. He plans an immediate blitz of orders and actions meant to begin dramatically changing the course of the country.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. administered the 35-word oath of office to Mr. Trump in the Rotunda of the Capitol in a ceremony that was moved indoors because of cold weather. James David Vance was sworn in moments earlier as the nation’s 50th vice president by Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh.

“The golden age of America begins right now,” Mr. Trump declared as he began a 29-minute Inaugural Address. He added: “My recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal and all these many betrayals that have taken place and give people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy and indeed their freedom. From this moment on, America’s decline is over.”

Much as he did eight years ago, when he decried “American carnage” in his address, he painted a grim portrait of a country on its knees that only he can revive. But even more than in 2017, he largely dispensed with lofty themes and the broad unifying strokes favored by most presidents in their Inaugural Addresses, and outlined a series of often-divisive policies.

He vowed to immediately declare a national emergency at the border and send the military to guard it. He said he would end government programs promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. He said he would rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and promised to seize the Panama Canal. “We’re taking it back,” he said.

Mount McKinley shouldn't of had been renamed Denali. Even under the Denali name, I referred to it as McKinley. As for the other stuff, we need our nation to be taken back.

This seems appropriate for today

Hey all I'm saying is killing billionaires should be in vogue, and statues should be made of Luigi.

I continue to stand by what I said.

 

[Boomhauer]

I continue to stand by what I said.

Luigi was a terrorist. An assassin. People like him shouldn't be celebrated.

 

[Grim]

Oh yeah, but we should celebrate guys who denied coverage for hundreds of thousands of people and let them die from preventable diseases and illnesses.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Should start branding them all enemies to humanity. Our survival depends on their demise at this point

 

[Professor Booty]

That CEO killed way more people than Luigi

 

[Comrade Khan]

Like I said, time to start treating the ones who willfully defend and vote in the billionaires to be branded as traitors. Take you country back? Nah let's take our planet and our humanity back. Those who turn their backs on theirs can rot with the pigs
