Jan 20th Inauguration Day.
I'm watching live while expressing and feeding. "There is no room in American for hate or prejudice." Umm .... oh dear!
I think this will deteriorate into a shambles, and I'm bamboozled by the responses of people interviewed who vote for him (eg, "I think he'll do great this for us, like building that wall."), but only time will tell I guess. I feel like I'm watching a soap opera that's like a badly funded, poorly cast version of The West Wing.

It's finished and no huge headlines yet. This article is interesting. Not many people attended compared to obama's inaugurations.

I understand every reason they're protesting (disagree on Wikileaks info, none of that was fake news) but once violence is brought into it you've lost your right to be heard.
I have a lot of patience and will hear anyone's views but turning up to "protest" in masks, hoods, smashing up shops, pulling up litter bins to throw, threatening cops to the point where they need to use tear gas, that's not a protest at all.

Jan 20th Inauguration Day.
I quoted you because you and Alicia implied people should just 'get over it' and accept he's our new president.
There was fake news Phony, lots of it, trying to ignore it doesn't make it go away. I never claimed Wikileaks was part of it?... Although I have my own thoughts on that.
Only a very small number of protestors have broken windows and pepper spray was used from what I've read so far. You're jumping the gun that there is anarchy when really there is not.
ETA: I just saw the article of the protest last night at the Deploraball.Last edited by HollyGolightly81; 21-01-2017 at 07:01.

I might be a bit late to the party, but have people seen this article about the creation of fake news? Such a profitable business!
https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/01/1...on-harris.html
Some people so willing to believe things that fit with their preconceived worldview and prejudices... Such a worry.
Sure, big news sites have their problems, and they can be duped too, but this is an example of where relying on smaller news sites can be a problem.

And we're officially in twilight land...
I really hate when protestors I support turn violent. It just undermines the cause so much. That being said, it's actually not as bad as I was expecting. I think I read about 90 people had been arrested of the thousands in attendance?
I understand what some people are saying about it being time to accept Trump as president and I do (says the Australian) but accepting a president doesn't mean agreeing that he should be in the position. If I ever want to be able to look my daughter in the eye, then I believe I have to be vocal about my disgust at Trump and all he stands for.
I do believe he will eventually do something to get himself impeached. And it will go through. The Republicans wont support him when push comes to shove. I kind of hope he doesn't get impeached. As despicable man as I think he is, he will be fairly ineffectual as a leader pushing change. I am much more scared of Pence becoming president than I am of Trump and his blustering.
