    Sitting at work watching Inauguration Day on my computer (while working of course). Isn't technology amazing?

    Unfortunately Nancy Pelosi didn't boycott.

    Jimmy Carter looks pretty damn good for his age.

    W. looks like he said something smartass to Obama.

    Trump knows and understands ceremony while at the same time seems like one if us.
    I am loving how pro AMERICA this all is.
    There will be no apology tour.

    Pretty good speech by Trump I thought.

    Michelle looks like she wants to cry.

    I agree that the speech was good. Very good, in fact.

    I thought Michelle looked beautiful and gracious.

    Michelle Obama was stoic which given all they've endured (even from Trump himself) is perfectly acceptable.

    I just caught her at the end. Probably just emotion at the time.

    I am glad the obama's learned from the Bushes and publicly acted politely. Good for them especially compared to the other Dems.

    Best pic so far is obama leaving on the helo.

    Wait...are you saying this graceful handoff of power from one POTUS to the next is a new phenomena? The Clinton's weren't polite during the Bush inauguration? The Carter's weren't polite for the Reagan inauguration?

    Hint: this isn't a Republican or Democrat behavior but rather an American tradition.

    All I remember about the Clinton's leaving is the trashing of the computers and that the Clinton's had to return items they took from the WH. The Bushes did not do that
    I do not see the obamas doing that.

    At least Hillary is attending the luncheon. That is a good thing that has to be difficult

    Yeah, I give the Clintons credit for sucking it up and attending. They'll have to fade a lot of heat from the Lefties.

    I didn't know Bob Dole was in a wheel chair. But he showed up and everybody stopped to shake his hand on the way out. That was good to see.

    The protesters in DC are doing their cause a disservice.

    You had to know the protesters turning violent was just a matter of time. It's sad, but some people seem to seek out ways to create havoc, and the non-actions by police in other similar situations encourages this type of behavior.

    The irony is many of my Facebook friends went to the Women's March, (all wearing the stupid hot pink knitted p***y hats) and people were telling them to watch out for all the violent Trump protestors. From what I have seen, the violence has been from the anti-Trump side. It also seems there are a handful of organized groups that plan on protesting for a while. The Democrats who refused to participate in a peaceful transition of power, and are openly calling for aggressive opposition to anything Trump should be ashamed. I know some Rs called for blocking Obama when he began, but I have never witnessed the type of divide in our country that I see now. I have never seen the type of rhetoric dumped on one man, and much of it is exaggerated.

    I'm no fan of Trump, but he is my President, and to want him to fail is like cutting off your nose to spite your face, and, simply anti-American. I honestly wonder if we can ever return to a United States of America again. Right now, I don't know how that can happen.

    Good question. Seems that most Americans are "All About ME" and not about "us" as a whole.

    Sends more than one bad message. Property damage being shown at the moment on msnbc, it's despicable. Reporter saying protestors stating this is against "the establishment" that includes Trump and the Clintons.... Almost all are under 30, white... Morons. Expect this nonsense to continue

    Posted under the caption, "Maybe our children will save the future". This disgusts me on many levels.
    I totally believe in free speech, the right to peacefully protest, but this is nothing like that.
    This is teaching your child to hate, and the people who applaud little Carter would recoil in horror if little Carter said those words about any minority group.
    The hypocrisy continues to astound.
    Note the pink p***y hats in the background.

    It's all about Americans getting way too comfortable. It's easy to sit around and complain, accuse, and attack while living relatively free of real danger.

    But a severe, universal, national threat would cure all that quickly. It's human nature and the American people bond spectacularly in these moments.

    Be it a disease outbreak with high casualties and uncertainty, serious threat of major war, another mass casualty terrorist attack...Americans will drop their petty bs.

    Think back to 911 (15+ years fogs the memory) and how America bonded.

    Or how about if we had a repeat of the 2014 Ebola outbreak and this threat avoids early containment and spreads like wildfire infecting many 1000's.

    All Americans need is a legitimate universal threat of harm or death...petty differences would disappear quickly. It won't be long now, no worries.

    Their misbehavior works to Trump's benefit

    Liberals are caught in the Chinese Finger Trap. Every instinct they have: celebrities/pouting/disavowing the constitutional process/demonizing Middle America...makes everything worse
    for them.

    It's hilarious.

    I almost wished they really were paying people $2,000 to protest.

    I would have signed up immediately and given my most sincere oscar winning impression of a hair-triggered snowflake God and guns hating SJW on Fox News.

    I find it interesting that today google decided to go with just the plain old boring google logo. Don't they have a different one just about every day honoring what's going on or happened that day in the past? Seems like today would be a great day to celebrate a new president.
