I don't think I've ever watched an inauguration so closely. The indoor setting brings the focus to the individual faces...
Share your observations of the swearing in and the inaugural address.
AND: Here's the whole ceremony:

I find it interesting that the family to the left of the podium have been called criminals, while the family on the right has a Presidential pardon.
I'm not much for daydrinking, but I have my celebratory bourbon ready!
Cheers, and welcome back, America!
I just want all of the people Joe just pardoned to face cumupance. I hope there is a way.
Ivanka wearing a green beret. Nice. My wife doesn’t like Melania’s hat hiding her face.
Yeah, Biden is out of office.
Not out of office yet: "Biden Pardons 5 Members of His Family in Final Minutes in Office" - NYT
Now we just need to end the dog and pony state of the unions. Go back to sending a letter.
Vance’s wife is beaming as JD gets sworn in.
Franklin Graham obliquely referenced the two attempted assassinations of Trump. A religious man would say that God blew on that bullet in Butler.
All I know is I’m tearing up.
Lovely young family.
Watching Biden and Harris stand there and eat shit while Trump was sworn in was classic.
They were signed yesterday, they just held off the announcement
Sorry..only that tight gray dress…
Gotta love Fetterman in his hoodie and shorts!
Indoors is the way to go…
President Clinton, President Obama, President Bush…
It is fun watching the shit stain Biden is leaving on the way out the door.
Anybody see how Klobuchar moved her way to the front of the Trump section?
So, all of the Biden Crime Family except for the Big Guy have received pardons, and will keep their ill-gotten gains. Exactly what I expected.
No pro-America clapping from the corrupt -a-hole puppets Kamala (D-loser) and crook Joe.
F them.
Nebraska's own Deb Fischer intros the new President.
Trump's speech is a direct attack on the Biden/Harris administration as they sit there.
No Michelle. No Michelle. Bad look, Barry, really bad.
"Biden Crime Family." - that is the only acceptable and appropriate way to describe them
Interesting contrast at the beginning, Trump and Vance were sitting upright with their hands on their thighs while Biden and Harris were sitting cross-legged with their arms folded.
I like he is crediting his predecessors with their failures. It isn’t being vindictive it is identifying the problems that need addressing…
I'd assume on YouTube it starts with WARNING containing scenes some viewers may find distressing.
I stood up and applauded when Trump was introduced for his acceptance speech.
I loved the look on Hillary's face when Trump said we were entering a Golden Age, priceless. :)
Nobody tell Freder.
President Trump is not sugar-coating it for them. It must be rough for the Democrats to have to sit there and listen to the truth. What a glorious day!
“Saved by God to make America great again.”
“Liberation Day!”
The indoor setting really compliments the choral music. It doesn't really work outdoors.
Trump not mincing words. The guy has some stones.
I love that the corrupt shit puppets are not clapping.
I’m a Trumpista, but Melania’s hat makes her look like the Hamburglar.
Also, cant be positive with the camera angle, but it looks like Trump forgot to put his hand on the Bible. Oy, theyre going to make all kinds of hay with that one….
JSM
Dems have Japanese-surrendering-on-the-Missouri energy…

Maybe not:
A disgorgement claim for government fraud bribery is a civil action that requires a wrongdoer to return funds they obtained illegally. The goal is to prevent unjust enrichment and make illegal activity unprofitable.
How it works
A court orders the wrongdoer to pay back the funds, often with interest and penalties
The funds are returned to the parties harmed by the illegal activity
Disgorgement is a remedial action, not a punitive one
Who can enforce it?
Regulatory agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) can enforce disgorgement
The government can also seek criminal forfeiture if civil forfeiture is available and the defendant is found guilty
Examples of disgorgement Insider trading, Embezzlement, and Violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
How much is disgorged?
District courts have discretion over how much money must be disgorged
Factors like the defendant's wrongful gain and the plaintiff's share of the profits are considered
Has any public gathering ever been improved by the presence of Franklin Graham?
Joe Biden watches and hears his entire legacy being repudiated.
Hillary will never be president. Still feels good to type that.
Yes, Melania's low hat caught my eye but then I was distracted by how tall Barron is.
This ain't no party. This ain't no disco. This ain't no foolin' around.
That shit sandwich Biden is eating looks like it tastes as you'd expect.
""I was saved by God to make American great again.""
I don't believe he's a religious man, but I believe he believes this. And since that Day, he has been more direct and less bombastic. Still over-stated, but his speeches have become more poignant and less meandering. It's done him good.
Green New Deal revoked!!
Jeez, this speech is a flame thrower. He's not focking around this time.
Moronic ex-Prez Biden winks during Graham’s prayer…
Dog catalogs offer a powder that it says gives feces an unpleasant taste.
Too subtle
The whole damn ceremony is a trigger warning for Democrats.
No Mrs. Pence either, which is not surprising.
I know I should be monitoring some liveblog from the left, but I just don't have it in me yet. I don't think I've ever bothered to listen to any inauguration speech, but I must assume they're all more or less like this one - partisan and agenda focused. However, I suspect Trump's lack of "unifying" rhetoric (that is, ignoring and glossing over the issues that got him elected, at least for this one speech) is a hot topic.
The Obama/Biden Reign of Error has ended. May it never arise again.
+++
Billy Graham?
“So it is written…”
McKinley! I'm halfway through Merry's book "President McKinley" and have been struck by parallels between him and Trump.
This is Trumps missing second campaign debate speech that he was gypped out of.
It's more like a State of the Union than an inaugural, but that's alright. I'd be happy if he manages to do what he says he'll do. I had to turn off after the "Gulf of America," though. You don't have to put your name or the country's name on everything, Donald. Focus.
I think the president of Panama just shit ten bricks
Frankly, it’s Franklin.
Jill Biden looking all stabby!
Poor AOC. The little grrl liar must be losing her lying mind.
The American people have spoken....
The corrupt media will probably call it American Carnage Part 2. I call it refreshingly frank and uplifting.
"but I must assume they're all more or less like this one - partisan and agenda focused."
I listen to them all. This is very different. Not that it's not undeserved.
Lindsey?
We’ve invaded the Gulf. Mexico should understand this.
i've never been a fan of Trump's speaking style, so I'm watching the
All-In-Pod group - they loved the Elon cheer.
On the verge of the 4 greatest years in American history....
Making America great again and putting America first are pretty unifying themes, unless you dislike America.
We have some one who will fight for us again
We will not fail!
Again -
after the family pardons - back to 2014... it is crystal clear...
"Biden Crime Family." - The only acceptable and appropriate way to describe them.
Mars. That is all. Mars.
[unmutes radio channel] God Trump is still speaking. I'm not sure he's reading the room right, but I'm a fan of his tweets not his rallies.
Well, he certainly can't be accused of under-promising...
Yeah, he’s killing it. The moans and wailing of the leftists just increased 10 fold.
"I know I should be monitoring some liveblog from the left, but I just don't have it in me yet."
Same.
Acapella
The Galesburg IL railcam channel is setting up for the arrival of Amtrak #6 from San Francisco area.
"but I must assume they're all more or less like this one - partisan and agenda focused."
I listen to them all. This is very different.
See what happens when I assume? 🙄
Too discursive. Trump has learned many things the last 8 years, but not when enough is enough. On the other hand, for what the Democrats in that room have put him and the USA through, forcing them to squirm and scowl is the closest to thing to water torture our Constitution allows.
The transcription on ABC is unintentionally hilarious in spots - "Alcohol Rabbi" just happened, for instance.
Carrie just sang perfectly in front of the corrupt lying puppets.
Lauren Sanchez is noticable for her less-than-conservative attire. As someone said on X, "Geez, :Lauren, put them away for one day."
Was that acapella in the program … or did Carrie Underwood Carpe diem?
Green Leap Forward is a more accurate description of that scientific and economic abomination. Had it been enacted, it would’ve been the second coming of Mao’s Great Leap Forward, which resulted in millions of deaths.
The corrupt media will probably call it American Carnage Part 2.
My Biden loving family members are already calling it that.
Revisiting "let freedom ring" - I am moved
I kind of understand the sentiment but let us look at some perspective. His predecessor just his entire family (well, not his daughter) a blanket pardon for all "non-violent" crimes over the last 10 years. Which one between Biden and Trump is the most discursive as you look on them today? Trump is focused on Making America Great Again. Biden is focused on making sure his family gets away with fleecing America.
This Detroit minister is a hoot.
First one of these I watched all the way through. It feels good to know we have a real President again. I was surprised Trump went after Biden and the left so hard. But it sets the proper tone. Time is up, and Trump is back, and he's got stuff to do
Corrupt Authoritarian Democrats DEMAND we worship them as gods.
NO MORE.
She just did it after the music wouldn’t start. A true pro.
Dude1394: yes. Just like only Nixon could go to China, only Trump can have a full-out storefront revrun at his inaugural.
Surprised Elon didn’t do handsprings in the aisle a la Blues Bros.
JSM
Biden planning on running again. If Trump can do it, so can Joey
I was hoping to hear again from the pastor who did the invocation at the RNC with his awesome Trump impersonation - "You're going to be so blessed..."
"I was saved by God to make American great again."
Such self-serving horseshit. Trump doesn't even believe in god; that would require him to believe in the existence of a being greater than himself.
It would also require it be true that he "made American great" previously...which he indisputably did not.
How dare Trump place the American people first!
Crook Joe and the corrupt democrat party place themselves first- and their horrid ideals and ruinous BS first.
The priest with the giant maroon stole finished his prayer with “Americans kneel to God alone.” Kommie looked like she just bit into a lemon.
JSM
Trump appreciated the mention of his parents in the prayer.
Dat’s a Miss, Mike!
The reality.
Hee hee hee…
It is also MLK Day, so some MLK-style rhetoric is appropriate.
Start signing those EOs!
Yes very compelling, inside. The "2Way" guys said that DJT was heavily involved in seating plan. Melania's look evoked The Mask for me. I cannot help but wonder how much actual time JB has remaining. His entire life was about this, and now it’s gone
Well - a paid Blackrock AD patsy killed Cory C - and the entire democrat cabal - do not care.
Is Biden even sentient enough to realize what Trump was saying?
Wonder why Biden just pardoned his entire family back to 2014.
Rough day, Cookie?
Mega MAGA!!!
Well said, robother.
Kudos to her.
May the husk puppet, his vile family, and the rest of the corrupt democrat party never be in power again.
Trump and his team better fix the vote system and stop the left's corrupt cheat machine.
Yes you were, Mister President. I rather look forward to it. Evil men cry and scream when good men get their boots on.
I noticed his mother was up there, too. After all those two have been through together it must have been very emotional for her to see him sworn in as VP.
"The fact that Fauci's pardon specifically and explicitly addresses his Covid-related offenses, while being backdated to 2014—the year the gain-of-function ban took effect, which Fauci circumvented by outsourcing experiments to China—speaks volumes as to what this is really about."
May the Soviet Democrats die in a fire.
I hereby pardon Cook for his idiocy.
It's not merely that the Rats have given President Trump no incentive to honor their self-peddled amnesty. It's that the amnesty is in service of a criminal conspiracy that directly benefitted Biden, and is invalid for that reason among others. Really, the scale of the pardons illustrate that the federal judiciary as constituted is too weak to take on the conspiracy. When in the course of human events...
The Covid Virus was intentionally released.
It's that simple.
Respectfully, Robert Cook, considering that "MAGA" was indisputably the motto of the first Trump campaign, before he had had any opportunity to deliver on the "make America great (for the first time)" idea that you're claiming he has to have fulfilled, it's indisputably untrue that Trump has to have already made America great in order to aim at that goal in this administration. More disputably, I suppose, a lot of people did think that his first administration resulted in a return to at least more American greatness than his predecessors achieved.
And - I think you're an atheist, is that right? I think you've said that before. You might want to refrain from commenting on what others believe in, whether or not you share their belief. What do you know about it? Your contention there appears to be based on your opinion that Trump's a narcissist - but, for instance, I think you've also been outspoken in your criticisms of Trump's intelligence, yet he (unlike Biden or Obama) indisputably chose a VP of intelligence and rhetorical skill, arguably greater than Trump himself possesses. So how would you square that choice with your opinion of Trump's narcissism?
Peachy:
Since the pardon thread is pretty much dead, let me copy here what I wrote there. It's very pertinent to what you just wrote:
- - - - - - -
It seems to me that pardoning Fauci and Hunter going all the way back to 2014 implicates Obama. As I've pointed out before, the "Big Guy" who got 10% of Hunter's "earnings" was not Joe Biden, as everyone seems to assume. Hunter himself complained that his father took 50%. That means that the Big Guy must be Obama: no one else could be called that in that context. Worth investigating!
As for punishment, it may not be possible to jail any of the Bidens, even Joe, but it seems to me that Congress could declare him a swinish failure of a pseudo-president and refuse to pay for a Biden presidential library or any kind of monument. Could they even forbid him to build a presidential library and pay for it himself? Worth a try! And if Obama is clearly implicated in any of the crimes Fauci and Hunter were pardoned for, cancel his library, too. I hear the people of Chicago don't want it, anyway.
"Trump is shitting on Biden while he has to sit there and take it. This is one for the ages." -- Scott Adams on X
Oh, for heaven's sake, Robert Cook.
We need a full investigation of covid. As many have noted, there's nothing for Fauci to hide behind now.
Agreed. When the country was founded there was no near instant communication available. Now you could set up a dashboard with all of the useful information made available and have it updated daily. People do like their parties though.
Yeah - there is a reason all these slime-bags are obscenely wealthy.
The democrat party must be purged. They are all corrupt.
Jill Biden gave Kamala a big ol' hug. Jill seems happy with her pardon.
Why are democrat loyalists so blind?
"The Biden Crime Family" - bye! Well - perhaps it;'s not bye forever.
There must be a way to make them pay for their crimes.
Churchill was not a religious man either, but he believed in Providence and that he was preserved, his family was notoriously short lived, to act as Hitler's hangman.
Yeah - The self-absorbed Demcoxrat party - they deserve nothing but shit.
Hah. Still b***hurt.
Smallest inaugural crowd in decades.
Melania's hat doubles as an AWACS transponder.
Hello President Trump and VP JD Vance.
The corruption supporting /corruption excusing loyalist pro-fascist pro-authoritarian liar leftist - leftists are all gnashing their teeth.. yay!
Churchill supposedly described himself as "a buttress of the church. I support it from outside."
His American mother was pretty much an atheist.
All the Democrat power brokers just applauded after Trump the Fascist took the oath of Office.
If anyone can name something more financially sleazy than Hunter Biden working for Burisma, I’ll give them 100 $TRUMP coin.
How much is that in $MELANIA coins?
Those missing 10 million 2020 Democratic voters, who failed to show up and vote in 2024, indicates that 2020 Presidential Election was truly stolen. Our country's defense and economy were grievously endangered by Biden's fraudulent election, his disastrous administration's lawfare, censorship, immigration, and economic policies.
Today, Biden's preemptive pardons for his Biden Crime Family members, the Lawfare warriors on Jan 6 committee, and malevolent Dr Menegele Fauci will undeniably establish Biden as the worst president, the most corrupt president, and the most amoral president we've suffered as a nation.
Covid was timed and released on purpose. We will never forget.
Hottest year on record of course, it was the coldest Inauguration in 40 years ...
That's all you got?
In the meantime - Democrats are still the party of corrupt lying lairs who lie. Frauds and corrupt to the highest order.
The Democrats are not democrats- they are Soviet Authoritarians.
I liked the part about McKinley.
OK. It was moved inside. So what is your point?
Got anything to say about the Biden Crime Family - and Joe's last minute pardons? nah - you support blindly the corrupt democrat party.
Reminder: The corrupt democrat party and the corrupt democrat party media.
Isn't it always though?
I can’t agree. This is supposed to be the people’s day. It is more secure and warmer. Nobody wants Biden dropping dead or wandering. Off in the cold.
Or do we. Fuck Leonard Peltier and Biden. Cop killer, and cop killer by proxy.
And a cop killing terrorist. Just like Clinton, Jimmah , and Obama.
2020:
Jake Tapper interviews president elect Joe Biden.
Tapper asks president-elect Joe Biden about Trump possibly issuing preemptive pardons.
Biden: “It concerns me, the type of precedent it sets. How the rest of the world looks at us as a nation of laws. You won’t see me doing that.”
Blind faith Democratic corruption excusing loyalists: Still loyal.

You got nothing. Your team is corrupt.
I hope she sees him sworn in as President in four years.
The value of the $Trump memecoin is $0.00, however, the ability to buy the president of the US from anywhere in the world, anonymously: $PRICELESS
People like power.
Here's where the rubber meets the road. This should be very interesting.
A pretty high bar. Bankman-Fried? Madoff? The Sinaloa Cartel?
Oh, you mean just amongst the Biden family? Where to begin...Brother Jim's contract in Iraq...the shell corporations...the Hunter paintings...Joe and the credit card companies...?
AOC just called Trump a rapist.
Perhaps he should sue her for defamation.
I ain't got time for that now.
shorter KAK - Perfectly fine with Biden family corruption - Corruption that used OUR tax dollars -washed clean thru international sources - used to line Biden family pockets.
Dodge a bullet by a hair-breath like that, you'd know too that God has a higher purpose for you too. Geez, Butler assassination attempt was a life-changing spiritual moment, that can't be denied - or ridiculed.
Kak not smart enough to understand that even the left say that the weather not to be confused with the climate.
btw - KAK - it's winter.
Amazing. She just proved (once again) why she is such a great singer/entertainer!!
Jill's joyful that Kamala isn't next president, a Judas hug for public consumption. Plenty of cold-shouldering still evident throughout ceremony. Kamala and Doug won't be on Biden Christmas list, nor will Barack and Michelle.
FYI, internet gossip has Barack and Michelle filing for divorce in next two weeks.
Global warming ended the planet 10 years ago. Do keep up.
Cry harder.
Dr Jill, Kamala, and Hillary were mostly hidden from cameras by taller folks blocking our view of their faces - seems planned, to afford them some privacy during their misery.
They'll have to explain that family pardon. Could be fun.
The dem's grim exposure via the Biden admin might have poisoned their well.
Iman, the girl can't help it.
Ignore the stadium, Peachy.
I liked the part about the Gulf of America.
@BUMBLE BEE, closer to twenty years ago.
Jamie - The day that Robert Cooke could give a measured, considered response has passed. Donald Trump has broken him.
CNN’s @ScottJenningsKY
: ‘This was an incredible speech for Trump. Watching him indict these gangsters to their faces while they had to sit with him in an intimate setting... they had to sit there and take it. It was glorious.’
Indeed.
Go after the corrupt left anyway.
Enjoyed it. Too many preachers though. Just cut out the speeches and the prayers. Play hail to the chief and Go straight to the swearing in.
It looked like the timing was a little messed up. I'm not sure if Justice Roberts started the oath early, or if Melania (who was carrying the Bible) was late getting in position, or if something else was going on. In any case, Roberts was already a couple of lines into the oath before Melania and the family were able to get into position around Trump. Roberts should have waited for the family before starting the oath, but it is easy to get tunnel vision when you're on stage.
No, shim can’t, Bumble Bee! 😁
I don't think FG is awful, but he doesn't quite have whatever it was his father had when it came to public events.
“Nobody wants Biden dropping dead or wandering. Off in the cold.”
An ice floe would’ve facilitated a fitting exit for Slow Joe…
Slow Joe on teh Ice Floe… watch out for the polar bears, Joe!
Is it persecution to hold people responsible for their actions?
60th inauguration and #47 President
> what gives?
> Math challenge? or History challenge?
Trump doesn't even believe in god
=========
could be true and does not preclude god believe in Trump??
I saw Pence kiss woman!! is not his wife?
Uh...look again. It's coming from Trump's mouth.
Cookie, piss right the hell off.
Does he also reference his own failures in his first term?
I didn't see it, but don't you think she was trying to suppress a guffaw and keep a straight face?
I loved the black pastor. And just so RCOCEAN II knows there is a mute button on every device.
