The expression on Joe's face in photo 5 is vintage.

Politics is show biz for ugly people.

Yes Don....you are so beautiful to me......

I saw on the news about how some schools in ruby red MAGA country are worried about their schools because Trump recently stated that he will cut off federal funding for them. All of the teachers and principals voted for Trump.

This is what they voted for, so they only have themselves to blame. Elections have consequences. . . Yes, indeed.

"I was saved by God to make America great again," he said.

Well, I wonder what Satan will have to say to say about that?

I would wager "divine punishment" is already on the wing for the usual suspects. Trump in the White House instead of in prison is all thanks to Biden and Garland. Buckle up, America, it's gonna be a rough 2025.

He faces an arduous task delivering on his stated promise of a "Golden Age of America" in the face of a closely split Congress, inevitable lawsuits and recalcitrant world leaders.

This is where diplomacy, ultimately could dare I suggest determine Donald Trumps "second term" legacy.

Donald Trump has made enemies abroad, most tellingly at home, some/many elusive, treacherous mendacious bearing false friendship, hollow insincerity.

I suggest many present at his inauguration, “Remember, remember the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot…”

I suppose Melania's expressions of "why the heck do I have to do this" are also vintage?

-1 ( +5 / -6 )

Hard to tell Melania's expression. She is wearing that classy outfit with that matching hat, apparently a NY design, which, because of the camera angle, blocks her face.

There is video footage, from the Capitol One Arena portion of the inauguration, when DJT called out their son Barron, who proceeded to stand up and mimic his father's gestures and made a "I can't hear you gesture" when the crowd began chanting his name. Melania was absolutely beaming with visible pride, as was his father.

So, suspect the above reading of her expression is somewhat miles off.

Saved by God? He was saved by that shooter.

than a dozen nonpartisan senior diplomats were asked to resign as part of a broader plan to replace nonpartisan civil servants with loyalists.

Well they obviously werent non-partisan were they.

After inauguration, Trump signs orders in front of cheering crowd

All the orders written by his Top 1% rich billionaires that donated millions to him...

I'm sure there's a "DEI" immigrant H1B visa order in there expanding the program replacing US workers with "foreigners"...given the millions Elon and Vivek gave him...

Just what you voted for, right MAGA-fans?

ROFL...

Meh, will all be overturned in 4 years before any of it actually takes effect.

"All illegal entry will immediately be halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came," Trump, said. "I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country."

Incredibly refreshing to see that someone has the backbone to call it what it is - an INVASION - and take decisive action to protect the country. Mass deportations of criminal aliens and sending troops to secure the southern border are long-overdue steps to restore law and order. Americans deserve a leader who prioritizes their safety, not like all the previous ones who let chaos reign for - AT BEST - the sake of woke political correctness.

Trump withdraws from the Paris Agreement and the WHO.

-3 ( +2 / -5 )

The move means the U.S. will leave the United Nations health agency in 12 months and stop all financial contributions to its work.

Trump's order said the administration would cease negotiations on the WHO pandemic treaty while the withdrawal is in progress. U.S. government personnel working with the WHO will be recalled and reassigned, and the government will look for partners to take over necessary WHO activities, according to the order.

The United States is by far the WHO's biggest financial backer, contributing around 18% of its overall funding. WHO's most recent two-year budget, for 2024-2025, was $6.8 billion.

Saved by a God whom he does not believe in. No Bible to be seen at his swearing in, where he has blatantly lied that he will defend the US constitution and democracy, again!

US stuck in Trumps "tar pit". Good luck getting out again.

This is soooo great!

Yup!

I am just glad we are gone.

Saved by a God whom he does not believe in.

He said so to you????

No Bible to be seen at his swearing in, where he has blatantly lied that he will defend the US constitution and democracy, again!

He has, and he will, Biden had a Bible, swore on it, and look what he did to the nation.

US stuck in Trumps "tar pit". Good luck getting out again.

I hope not, liberal progressive policies are a trainwreck disaster.

The Golden Age of America begins right now!

All the Biden's America allies, ie European/some Asian/etc countries, that screamed so loud about human rights/etc around the world, not screaming about Trump's America???
