Anybody who wears or displays the stars and bars I automatically write off. No need to engage them.

Those changes to the White House website are some of the least surprising things that could have happened.

Because the Obama Administration pages were archived.

Meanwhile, the extreme left is outraged and 'rioting in the streets' over standard protocols.

Harsh, but kinda true:

[i got bugs]

Just think if all of these people marching today actually voted

[verb_to_trust]

Esquire posted an article about how Trump's inaugural cake looked just like Obama's, as if that means anything. Some of this stuff is just getting stupid.

Well that CIA speech was something

Is this a protest, or the social event of the year?

"I am so behind you and I know maybe sometimes you haven't gotten the backing that you've wanted and you're going to get so much backing...Maybe you'll say, 'Don't give us so much backing. Mr. President, please, we don't need that much backing,' But you're going to have that, and I think everybody in this room knows it."

"I met [Mike Pompeo] and I said, he is so good. Number one in his class at West Point. I know a lot about West Point, and I'm a person that very strongly believes in academics. In fact, every time I say I had an uncle who was a great professor at M.I.T. for 35 years, who did a fantastic job in so many ways...He was an academic genius, and then they say, there's Donald Trump, an intellectual, trust me, I'm like a smart person."

"When I was young, we were always winning things in this country. Would win with trade. Would win with wars. And at a certain age, I remember hearing from one of my instructors the United States has never lost a war. And then after that, it's like, we haven't won anything."

"Probably almost everybody in this room voted for me but I will not ask you to raise your hands if you did but I guarantee a big portion because we're all on the same wavelength."

"We did a thing yesterday at the speech and everybody like the speech? But we had a massive field of people. You saw that. Packed. I get up this morning, I turn on one of the networks, and they show an empty field. I'm like, wait a minute. I made a speech. I looked out, the field was, it looked like a million, million and a half people."

How long till his first tweet?

I'd also like to guess the content and the first inaccuracy he'll tweet as president. Will he thank the people who attended today and call it "one of the biggest crowds ever"?

"One of"?

I know, he's going to be itching to use a superlative. He might just say something like "the greatest inauguration crowd" so it's not about numbers.

Boy, did I underestimate their response (he really gets going about crowd sizes at the 1:00 mark):

[epilogue]

I don't understand how Donald doesn't understand that this kind of thing just makes him look so much worse.

[Strat]

I don't understand how Donald doesn't understand that this kind of thing just makes him look so much worse.

Because it makes him look better to his supporters.

I guess. But isn't there something to be said for inclusion? For winning over and representing those that didn't vote for you, too?

IT WAS THE LARGEST AUDIENCE TO EVER WITNESS AN INAUGURATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE WOLD PERIOD FULL STOP PERIOD
