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.
Stuff that matters?
Fuck...
Why we did that for the last 8 years, and she just lived in the White House.
Because conservatives aren't as hateful and violent as liberals?
It will all come down to what effect he actually has.
If you look at the "quality of life" figures such as the health of the economy, inflation rate, national debt, unemployment rate, average income, etc, Obama is leaving the country in a significantly worse state than when he took it over.
It is quite ridiculous. It seems that despite political correctness advancements, it would still be impossible for an atheist (that is, anyone who is not terminally insane yapping about jebus and imaginary sky fairies) to become president in the USA.
Lets get this straight, people: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GOD!
One has to be pretty drooling stupid to believe in that child-molesting garbage, yet in front of the people who are supposed to be running this country they have these retarded blathering idiots going on about their magic sky daddies and friends.
It is one thing to make a president swear on some 2000 year old book of BS because tradition. But there no excuse for the rest. None at all.
As an atheist it reminds me that I am not represented and that people would still be happy to come at me with their torches and pitchforks.
That's who Trump answers to, not us. :-/

More people in 49 states. If you take California out of the Popular Vote tally, Trump wins handily in 49 states. So much so, that the ONLY reason she won popular vote was because of the landslide that was California. And given that California Democrats just put Bernie supporters in power, we'll see how that plays out on the national level.
I am pretty sure that most Americans, including national Democrats don't want California Commies running things.

Well, Obama was at war for all eight years of his presidency. Beating all other presidents. Hard to argue that he was better than Bush with that record.

Im Irish and from what I've seen, there has been an enormous smear campaign against him especially from CNN and all the way back to Jeb Bush who tried to destroy him and fell flat on his face. There's nothing wrong with putting your country first and America's prosperity is good for Europe. My only concern is that he has establishment enemies, liberal extremelist enemies, and radical islamic fundamentalist enemies. The secret service need to be up to the task. I believe he is a good man for the most part.
Nice to know the Irish have their own deluded nutballs too.

The political discourse these days is dominated by shouty idiots on both sides who spew very similar brands of hate. Just ask Leslie Jones and Jennifer Holliday. The lefty trolls will often try to get you fired as well.
