President Donald J. Trump

[Dr. MD MD]

Hey, its not my funeral. You think what you like.

And you like what the queen tells you to. 

[21st Century Man]

And do what exactly? What will they do?

If he abuses his power well then there may be calls for impeachment coming from some corners and the Democrats will be more than happy to join in.  I don't see that happening though.

[Dr. MD MD]

Its only by virtue of the college system he's in.

It's not a new thing that the Russians introduced to our system this election. That's been the game from day one. Sorry the side you were rooting for lost. I bet you don't even get this worked up over British politics.  :

[21st Century Man]

Most of the electorate didn't want Trump. Its only by virtue of the college system he's in. Obama get yer gurns yet? Or declare martial law?

If you leave California out of the equation,  Trump won the popular vote.  It is only in certain sections of the country where Hillary was more popular.  The left coast and the Northeast.

We won't have columns. Do you understand that?

Do you understand that?

[Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost]

I hope you've not gone soft and are advocating only a stick be used? Once upon a time you'd have turfed them out of their rat infested hovels and made to dredge the sewers.

That would have been too good for them. I prefer the Henry's Turkey Service employment model.

Why didn't the government regulations protect them and keep that from happening?

[Dr. MD MD]

Why didn't the government regulations protect them and keep that from happening?

Oh, it's not about finding answers, silly! It's about demonizing Trump before he's done anything. You know that. 

[Yorkshire pud]

Why didn't the government regulations protect them and keep that from happening?

The same way having a law that forbids murder is ignored by some. That being the case, do away with that law. Pointless having it.

[ItsOver]

Noted political expert wacko Madonna in D.C.  LOL.

Really? Trumps speech yesterday was dystopian. Which 'answers' did he espouse? Sure he said a lot of what should be, but nothing of any detail. But, you got faith.

[GravitySucks]

You can keep the law about murder. Just get rid of the one about hate crime embellishment. The victim is just as dead either way. And neither dissuaded the murderer.

Please quote what specifically you think was "dystopian"

[Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost]

Why didn't the government regulations protect them and keep that from happening?

Because the company did everything it could to keep anyone from finding out about them. If it weren't for a few regulations it would still be business as usual for them.

And I'm going to cut you some slack, because I know it's been a rough off-season for White Sox fans. 

[Dr. MD MD]

Faith? Not exactly but I do think he deserves to be given a fair shot at governing without all the attempted disruption.

[paladin1991]

You seem to think that all the evil people are extinct.

You're mistaken.

Jackyboy.  You don't even want to know.

[21st Century Man]

You can keep the law about murder. Just get rid of the one about hate crime embellishment. The victim is just as dead either way. And neither dissuaded the murderer.

You can say that again.  A crime is a crime.  No need to add embellish it further.

[paladin1991]

I wish I could. Midland bank ceased to be about 1999-2000. 

Who bought them out?

[GravitySucks]

Shucks Shirley. You know I am not a Sox fan.

That turkey saga is really a total failure of the entire society. I can't even imagine how something that outrageous could go on for that long. Noone else worked at that plant?  Noone ever inspected that plant? Noone in the community ever crossed paths with one of those men?  Meter readers looked the other way? The owner of that plant was the absolute only person that knew? Damn. First I had heard about that story.

[Yorkshire pud]

Words such as carnage? About children being deprived of all knowledge ? Which planet were you on?

[Yorkshire pud]

Who bought them out?

HSBC.The drug money laundering bank.

[Dr. MD MD]

HSBC.The drug money laundering bank.

Makes sense given your country's history of drug dealing. 

[paladin1991]

HSBC.The drug money laundering bank.

Ah.  A very reputable institution of finance.  I'll stop asking questions.

[The King of Kings]

Words such as carnage? About children being deprived of all knowledge ? Which planet were you on?

Wait, aren't you liberal Europeans constantly criticizing the US for it's mass shootings, violence, racism, and huge prison populations?

Seriously, you liberals are ill in the head.

If his speech was uplifting and positive, you would probably complain that he is ignoring the reality of gun crime, racism, violence and so on.

President Trump's Inaugural Address

Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans, and people of the world: thank you.

We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people.

Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come.

We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.

Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.

Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another â€" but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.

For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.

Washington flourished â€" but the people did not share in its wealth.

Politicians prospered â€" but the jobs left, and the factories closed.

The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.

Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.

That all changes â€" starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.

It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America.

This is your day. This is your celebration.

And this, the United States of America, is your country.

What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.

January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.

The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

Everyone is listening to you now.

You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before.

At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens.

Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves.

These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public.

But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

We are one nation â€" and their pain is our pain.  Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success.  We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.

The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.

For many decades, we’ve enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry;

Subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military;

We’ve defended other nation’s borders while refusing to defend our own;

And spent trillions of dollars overseas while America’s infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay.

We’ve made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon.

One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind.

The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world.

But that is the past. And now we are looking only to the future.

We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power.

From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.

From this moment on, it’s going to be America First.

Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families.

We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs.  Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.

I will fight for you with every breath in my body â€" and I will never, ever let you down.

America will start winning again, winning like never before.

We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders.  We will bring back our wealth.  And we will bring back our dreams.

We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.

We will get our people off of welfare and back to work â€" rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.

We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and Hire American.

We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world â€" but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.

We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow.

We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones â€" and unite the civilized world against Radical Islamic Terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.

At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.

When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.

The Bible tells us, “how good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.”

We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.

When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.

There should be no fear â€" we are protected, and we will always be protected.

We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God.

Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.

In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving.

We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action â€" constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.

The time for empty talk is over.

Now arrives the hour of action.

Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done.  No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.

We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.

We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.

A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights, and heal our divisions.

It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag.

And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Creator.

So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words:

You will never be ignored again.

Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams, will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.

Together, We Will Make America Strong Again.

We Will Make America Wealthy Again.

We Will Make America Proud Again.

We Will Make America Safe Again.

And, Yes, Together, We Will Make America Great Again. Thank you, God Bless You, And God Bless America.

You know what HSBC means don't you? I take it, that's a no.

[Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost]

Shucks Shirley. You know I am not a Sox fan.

My deepest apologies. You made a crack about the Cubs the other day so I just figured you were a pale hoser. And don't call me Shirley.

[Dr. MD MD]

You know what HSBC means don't you? I take it, that's a no.

Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. Back from your country's opium dealing days. What am I saying?! You still do that.
