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!
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.
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 😳
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!
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 _______'.
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.
@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.

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.
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?
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;

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

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

Many purple neck ties.
Joe and the entire ruinous cabal of liars - including lying Vindman - should rot and die in jail with no ice cream.
love it!
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.
Here We Go!

I always feel bad for Steve Scalise.
Biden pardoned his entire family, as his last act of betrayal to America
I think the purpose of Melania’s hat is to keep Joe from sniffing her hair during the ceremony.
It threatened to break into a mini rally.
I'm watching on Crowder over at Rumble. Much better :)
I don’t have a fork, I’ll take a comb.
Apparently Vindman didn't get a pardon.
All the justices showed up. That’s got to be good for a column or two.
Just to note- former Presidents addressed as ‘President ______’.
How many times must a man wear a hat, before he can call it his own?
Biden just pardoned his whole family back to 2014.
His international grfiting for family profit is real.
Why do we need a “theme’” for the Inauguration? Is this the Rose Bowl parade?
She quoted Dylan. Kudos.

Wow. He really did it. Disgraceful.
Details here
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.
Referring to Kings, Graham’s prayer breaks away from the “democracy” theme.
Melania looks like a suffragette.
Good. He is first.
Gak. The clock radio turned on and it seems to be some ceremony. Sounds awful. With the push of a button it's muted.
The Galesburg railcam is good.
Somebody, probably Mencken, said that a tenor voice is a diseased voice.
Does it include the disowned grandchild and her mother
FWEEDOM!!
I hope Trump will be brief. I got to get back to work.
@rhhardin: Nope!
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.
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.

WTH?! Now the clock is stopped? How am I supposed to know when I can stop watching the clock. That just not right!
Greatest rendition of The Star Spangled Banner of all time.
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 ate popcorn all through the ceremony.

Stevie Ray Vaughan's hat.
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.
Thanks WA-mom!
pacwest: lol
Package deal, Leland
Thank God for this day of restoration, establishing and strengthening. We have survived the Soros and Obama war to the death against us.
Nice one Meade.
Amen, tradguy. Amen.
Thanks, Craig Mc. It was fun.
Make America Grape Again…
