Donald Trump Is Sworn In As the 45th US President (reuters.com)
Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States on Friday, succeeding Barack Obama and taking control of a divided country in a transition of power that he has declared will lead to "America First" policies at home and abroad. Reuters reports: As scattered protests erupted elsewhere in Washington, Trump raised his right hand and put his left on a Bible used by Abraham Lincoln and repeated a 35-word oath of office from the U.S. Constitution, with U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts presiding.
He wouldn't dare pick a fight with his loan-shark.
You meaning advocating for a No Fly Zone in an area where the Russian Air force is operating daily?
How do you enforce a No Fly Zone?
A. Ask nicely that the planes leave.
B. Hold a press Conference and strongly denounce that fact that you were ignored.
C. Shoot down planes that violate the No Fly Zone.
Who was it again who wanted a No Fly Zone?
Hint: She kept a private email server.
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
Then explain why there were no credible threats in the past 8 years, but plenty against Trump before he took office?
Please educate yourself. Obama had plenty of death threats and people have gone to prison for making them.

No really. Some people think America is great because, but it really is a shit hole. I mean really, mass shootings are a regular occurrence, crime is high despite having the largest prison population in the world.
Violent crime is pretty much at an all-time low. Reading the news is a bit misleading on this score.

Maybe because this is the second Republican in a row to lose the popular vote but win the electoral college.
Actually, the "whole world" mostly agrees that Trump is a somewhere between an incompetent buffoon and a despicable nazi. It's only your little echo chamber in the US that thinks different.
Yes, just think about what terrible things the Clinton Foundation did, like:
Raised $313 million for R&D into new vaccines and medicines;
Helped provide better maternal and child survival care to more than 110 million people, and;
Provided treatment for more than 36 million people with tropical diseases.
Even worse, it spent 88% of its 2014 outlays directly on programs (rather than overhead) and that it only has to spend $2 to raise $100. A performance that poor gives it a solid "A" rating from charity watchdogs. We're all clearly better off without groups like this funneling money from rich donors to help poor people in underdeveloped countries around the world.

In the rust belt. Full stop. Young people, blacks and Latinos stayed home. If you doubt me 538 had a meticulously sourced article on the subject. Hilary was arrogant. She assumed no sane country would elect Trump. She was wrong, and we're all gonna pay for it. For God's sake people, vote in your mid terms.

They are all true statements. I wouldn't expect Trump voters to care much about the truth though.
Biden had the MPAA/RIAA dong so far up his rear people thought it was his tongue when he talked. He was far from harmless.
Compared to risks of war, discrimination and superstition, media conglomerates fucking people over is far down the list of harms.
I hear the rhetoric that California is bad for business constantly. When you look at the numbers, the opposite is true. Califonia has grown their economy since the Great Recession better than most other states.
Hamas needs no such excuses.
deleting the extra space after periods so i can stay relevant, yeah.
Read this.
McVeigh wasn't right wing and he wasn't a militia member. He was a socialist (left wing!) and did not belong to any so-called militia groups.
Apparently, they are correct that if you keep repeating a lie long enough, people will believe it.
. Trump has not expressed any racist statements; he expressed negative views of some illegal immigrants.
Of the top of my head, I remember Trump saying "Where is my African American?". Maybe that doesn't sound racist to you, but it sure does to a lot of people. Also, you seem to forget how he stated that the judge couldn't be fair in the Trump University case, because he was a Mexican. I'm sure there are more examples. His rhetoric was very racist at times. There is a reason white nationalists love him.
On the war crimes comment, I'm sure the person was referring to the time Trump said that killing the terrorists themselves wasn't enough. He would instruct the military to kill the families of terrorists too.
Dubya might have had an IQ of 120 when young but decades of heavy drinking probably brought him down to the level we observed which was probably in the mid 90's. Contrary to popular belief, drinking doesn't kill off just the weak neurons.
Only I can judge you.

Trump racism: Let's start with 1973 charges of discrimination in housing, then work forward to 2016 where he said the Central Park Five should go to jail DESPITE DNA evidence exonerating them, with all sorts of gems along the way. http://fortune.com/2016/06/07/... Oh... and then there's the famous quote about Mexicans. And suggesting a blanket ban on Muslims as a category.
Advocating for war crimes: March 2016, defending ordering the US military to commit war crimes of killing non-combatants that are family members of those in combat http://www.washingtontimes.com... Also advocates for waterboarding and worse in several interviews and speeches.
Regarding treatment of women: Ah, the famous "grab them by the pussy" video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

-since race is an artificial construct anyway, it's as good a word as any to describe bigotry against a distinct cultural ethnic group a more concise term is coined
-debatable; migration rights are largely seen as a basic human right. and they still have rights under the constitution, particularly in the area of due process, the constitution being a document that describes not just the relation between the government and citizen, but more accurately the government and any person subject to its authority.

-so is retaliatory executions, even the uber-conservative and generally delusional Washington times agrees

The guy who said the election was rigged won the presidency with the second-most votes.
