[President Trump made the most populist and unambiguous pro-America inauguration speech in history today. In many ways it was an 'in your face' indictment of his predecessor. Now it is time to deliver. Godspeed to our new President! gjr]

Boys, the Bikers for Trump are camping out in Virginia. They were scheduled to ride after the swearing in and before the parade. But, there is just too many of them and a logistics nightmare. It is all coordinated with the Park Police, Capitol Police, and Parks Service. They have two permits, (one for Saturday) but will ride in only if it does not interfere with security and crowd control. They be law abiding combat veterans who now how to be discipled and follow orders.
It never was missing!

Sure, Paul, Trump will be headed off at the next pass. Always the next pass.
White men opted 63% for Trump and 31% for Clinton; white women voted 53% for Trump and 43% for Clinton.
Among non-college-educated whites, 67% voted for Trump – 72% of men and 62% of women.
Among college-educated whites, 45% voted for Clinton – 39% of men and 51% of women (the only white demographic represented in the poll where the former secretary of state came out on top). But 54% of male college graduates voted for Trump, as did 45% of female college graduates.
More 18- to 29-year-old whites voted for Trump (48%) than Clinton (43%).No, women did not vote for Hillary as a block. The party tomorrow will be left leaning women, not women in general. Have fun everyone.

“KBTW, I love the point that the Executive Order BLOTUS signed today said it would be the policy of the Trump administration to seek the repeal of Obamacare. Seek the repeal? What happened to immediately signing and EO repealing Obamacare? The betrayal begins :)”
-Frisch 547pm
“The one-page order, which Mr. Trump signed in a hastily arranged Oval Office ceremony shortly before departing for the inaugural balls, gave no specifics about which aspects of the law it was targeting. But its broad language gave federal agencies wide latitude to change, delay or waive provisions of the law that they deemed overly costly for insurers, drug makers, doctors, patients or states, suggesting that it could have wide-ranging impact, and essentially allowing the dismantling of the law to begin even before Congress moves to repeal it.”
-NY Times
Everyone besides Stevie is interpreting this as Trump filling the first day pledge.
Steve, time for more hamster dance!LikeLike

Merely pointing our how the BLOTUS exaggerated his powers and lied to most of America about what he would actually do. My guess is that this action will be amongst the most controversial in the long run because much as Republicans might want to immediately repeal without a replacement that maintains the 20 million Americans who now have health insurance who did not previously, and coverage for children up to 26 years of age, and coverage for pre-existing conditions, Republicans are removing a popular program.
So now they are stuck….because they have no way to pay for it without premiums increasing for everyone else.
Period.
They will have to either replace with something just as expensive or more so….or face the wrath of a public who they are taking benefits away from.
Catch-22 for the big mouths.LikeLike

Children up to 26 years old? Well, that explains a lot. Is that what we call those that got a college degree 4 years ago? Children? Hmmm, don’t hurt the children!
I hope their healthcare insurance covers play dough, coloring books, and magic ponies. Mental health coverage is a good thing.LikeLike

Looks like the large mouth ass from Truckee was hooked by their own BS.
Central to the Obamacare debacle is the debasement of the word “insurance”. It used to mean for healthcare what it means everywhere else… you pay for the little stuff yourself but when something big happens… the shared risk you’ve been paying for pays off and bails you out.
Employer paid health care is not, by and large, “insurance”, and Obamacare coverage for preexisting condidions isn’t insurance either, it’s a gift from those who have been paying to those that have not.
It’s also different than the “preexisting condition” problems of folks who had been insured who now have to get a new policy, generally because of a loss of a job. That problem is portability and it could have been solved with a stroke of a pen. “If you were insured when the condition was diagnosed, you can’t have it held against you”. Another would be “preexisting conditions diagnosed while not covered by insurance can be exempted from insurance coverage for up to two years”… in California, insurers were forbidden to carve out preexisting conditions from policies. So they just refused to issue them at all.
Obamacare was fatally flawed from the beginning and many rational observers believe that was by design… so single payer socialized medicine will be politically possible when it melts down… I expect that assumed that Democrats would be in control of the Presidency, the House, the Senate and the Judiciary when that happened. Doesn’t look that way now, does it, Steve?LikeLike

“It is left-wing protests that invariably devolve into law-breaking and so it was that the same kids who think Donald Trump is too divisive were soon smashing windows and throwing projectiles at police in behalf of their supposedly more open-minded vision of America. (The left’s street protesters act as if there is no social or political problem that can’t be addressed by hurling things at cops.)
The same media that would’ve denounced pro-Trump protests as a threat to democracy has treated the anti-Trump protests as a natural symptom of a divided country. Erupting in rage at the result of an election went from a grave offense against our system to the latest front in the battle for social justice right around the time that the Upper Midwest was called for Trump.”LikeLike

To gain some perspective on Trump’s inaugural speech, check out the G.W. Bush speech from 2001 – also a contentious election. Note the similar themes. Bush was saying many of the same things Trump did pre-Obama, yet Obama has been blamed by the ‘Right’ for everything that has happened since Bush was elected 16 years ago.
