45 minutes and 47 seconds...

Screenshot by Meade, who vigilantly waited for this moment to honor President 45 and 47.

YouTube is offering me nothing but live swearing-in ceremonies, and one railcam at Galesburg, IL.

Dr Weevil said...

When Trump enters for the swearing in, the band (Marine Corps, I think) plays "Hail to the Chief". Does Trump decide what else they play? Can he have them play "Nowhere Man" for Biden's exit? Everybody loves a Beatles tune!

Aggie said...

ok, that's getting a little bit fan-boyish, eh?

Leland said...

I have a poll for Meade. Is he more excited that Trump is about to take office, or that the power behind Biden will officially be out of office?

Commentary free Live Stream from the inauguration ceremony

Mainstream Media dumping on Trump at every opportunity is too distracting.

Peachy said...

Love it.

Joe ruined our nation up to the last minute. May he and his handlers feel the karma, the justice and the cumupance.

If next in the sequence is 49, then I'd select 51, if that's an option.

Interestingly the stream says this is the 60th presidential swearing in ceremony and yet Trump is the 47th. There probably a lot of history behind those numbers.

rehajm said...

Speaking of boyish- the cameras are scanning the crowd- we get to see who is tall and who is not. No hiding. Also one specific wide shot of just about everyone and…the bewbies 😳

Enigma said...

Many purple neck ties.

Peachy said...

Joe and the entire ruinous cabal of liars - including lying Vindman - should rot and die in jail with no ice cream.

Reddington said...

love it!

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

There’s a tenor singing now. It’s ok, tenors are cancel proof.

Melania stole Bob Dylan’s hat!

I want to know how Bruce Fischer from Valentine, NE rates a separate intro.

I always feel bad for Steve Scalise.

Jimmy said...

Biden pardoned his entire family, as his last act of betrayal to America

Whiskeybum said...

I think the purpose of Melania’s hat is to keep Joe from sniffing her hair during the ceremony.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

It threatened to break into a mini rally.

Scott M said...

I'm watching on Crowder over at Rumble. Much better :)

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

I don’t have a fork, I’ll take a comb.

Scott M said...

Apparently Vindman didn't get a pardon.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

All the justices showed up. That’s got to be good for a column or two.

rehajm said...

Just to note- former Presidents addressed as ‘President ______’.

The Vault Dweller said...

How many times must a man wear a hat, before he can call it his own?

Peachy said...

Biden just pardoned his whole family back to 2014.

His international grfiting for family profit is real.

Whiskeybum said...

Why do we need a “theme’” for the Inauguration? Is this the Rose Bowl parade?

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

She quoted Dylan. Kudos.

Jaq said...

I am enjoying a bowl of piss proof cornflakes this morning. They are invulnerable to the impotent rants of angry apologists for the worst president in living memory, the most corrupt, the most reckless, the most belligerent president, I think, that we ever had. Sir Robinette fades away. Buh bye!

The Vault Dweller said...

I heard someone say a rule sometime that "President _____' only applied to the current President and their immediate predecessor, and that all other Presidents before those two instead were referred to as 'former President _______'.

Original Mike said...

Wow. He really did it. Disgraceful.

NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Ok. Deep state deemed “democracy” as the ceremonies theme.

Speaking of pardons; Rachel Vindman is throwing a fit on BlueSky because Biden didn't pardon her or LTCOL Chubby.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Referring to Kings, Graham’s prayer breaks away from the “democracy” theme.

wild chicken said...

Melania looks like a suffragette.

Peachy said...

Good. He is first.

rhhardin said...

Gak. The clock radio turned on and it seems to be some ceremony. Sounds awful. With the push of a button it's muted.

rhhardin said...

The Galesburg railcam is good.

rhhardin said...

Somebody, probably Mencken, said that a tenor voice is a diseased voice.

rhhardin said...

Does it include the disowned grandchild and her mother

William50 said...

FWEEDOM!!

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

I hope Trump will be brief. I got to get back to work.

NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...

@rhhardin: Nope!

pacwest said...

Now I'm just watching the goddamn clock counting the seconds until I don't have to watch the goddamn clock anymore. I'm really beginning to hate that goddamn clock.

Aggie said...

Publish a full exposé of what provable financial and treasonous acts they are responsible for - I feel quite certain there is already a dossier locked away. Force them to sue, so they can be put on the stand and engage in perjury. Or force them to allow the exposé to stand.

Christopher B said...

@Lem ... Inauguration and swearing-in happen after every election without regard to whether the President was re-elected. Washington was sworn-in in 1789, 236 years ago, making this the 60th ceremony. I suppose there could be some dispute on how to number the terms, however. 45 men have been President but since two have now been elected to non-consecutive terms, the number of distinct Presidencies (per Wiki) is 47.

pacwest said...

WTH?! Now the clock is stopped? How am I supposed to know when I can stop watching the clock. That just not right!

Luke Lea said...

Greatest rendition of The Star Spangled Banner of all time.

pacwest said...

So I guess its all over and Trump has taken the oath? And I didn't get to see the moment the clock hit zero??! Meade you are one sick bastard.

"...I suppose there could be some dispute on how to number the terms, however. 45 men have been President but since two have now been elected to non-consecutive terms, the number of distinct Presidencies (per Wiki) is 47."

Some Presidents never got a full term beginning on the formal Inauguration Day: John Tyler, Andrew Johnson, Chester Arthur and Gerald Ford, for example. Those impromptu swearing-in ceremonies aren't included in the 60.

I love the Oh America song. It harkens me back to Sarah Palin and Tea Party days. Celtic Woman still does it best. There is a youtuber called ifyoucanbenice and if you search for her, you can see how she used the song to promote Sarah Palin 15 years ago.

BUMBLE BEE said...

I ate popcorn all through the ceremony.

Jaq said...

Can a person really be pardoned for treason? Miley, isn't he the guy who made a separate deal with China promising to sell out Trump and the US to them if it ever came to a showdown?

Rusty said...

Stevie Ray Vaughan's hat.

Tina Trent said...

On Melania, parts left out.

She Walks in Beauty

by George Gordon, Lord Byron

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er her face;

This is where I'm really itching to click on a "like" button. Well done, Meade.

Meade said...

Thanks WA-mom!
pacwest: lol

Meade said...

Package deal, Leland

traditionalguy said...

Thank God for this day of restoration, establishing and strengthening. We have survived the Soros and Obama war to the death against us.

Craig Mc said...

Nice one Meade.

Meade said...

Amen, tradguy. Amen.

Meade said...

Thanks, Craig Mc. It was fun.
