A Republic, If You Can Keep It

The company and the users of the platform.

Heres JFK being inaugurated outdoors at an ambient temperature of 22°, which is the forecast ambient temperature for Monday afternoon.

If you hold the thing inside it’ll be more difficult for people to make fun of the size of your… crowd.

Get a load of old Tricky Dick! And Ike! And hey, look at that, there’s the Penguin! I wonder what the hell he’s doing there.

He’ll still claim there was a record crowd outside, while blaming Pelosi for the decision to move inside.

Someone should tell him what the temperature is in Greenland right now.

They’re so close to getting it, but they never will.

Congratulations Deplorables, you’re all getting fucked and taking the rest of us down with you.

Tax cuts for the rich, tax increases and benefits cuts for everyone else.

I have a work friend who was taking his kids and grandkids to the inauguration. He’s a Republican, but to be fair this would be his third inauguration, having attended Reagan’s second and Clinton’s first. He was a U.S. Army Honor Guard and actually worked Reagan’s second. He says it’s an impressive event, no matter which side of the aisle you’re on.

Look at the hats! Fedoras, Homburgs, top hats…man I wish it was still like that.

…except when it’s indoors.

21st century inauguration chic.

I’m doing my best.

In case you missed it, Trump launched a meme coin - $TRUMP - two days ago. I guess without the DC hotel he needed another way for anyone to stuff money directly into his pocket.

It’s a bitemecoin, sure to be a great investment.

The cult, in two tweets:

The true grift is finally revealed:

Also, there’s a word for government owning “private” companies… something about social?

National security is nothing compared to his pocketbook. If the Chinese pay him enough, all the cult will be singing their praises. Just like with Russia.

Tik Tok is back working again the US. Trump is claiming to have done this by executive order.

So much to unpack here:

  • Trump isn’t president yet, so how is he issuing executive orders that have any effect?
  • The ban was imposed by an act of congress and upheld by SCOTUS; if Trump can undo such things on a whim…

The federal government is completely in the bag for Trump. Unlike last time, his every mood swing or perceived affront is going be acted on in real time. No guard rails; no filter; no buffer.

Nothing says “Fuck You!” like inviting all your cultists to DC to honor you, then deciding to move the ceremony indoors for your own comfort - meaning they would have to watch it on Jumbotrons while freezing their asses off outside - and then removing the Jumbotrons.

MAGAfolk in DC will have to watch it on TV somewhere like they were at home. :joy::joy::joy:

Ramaswamy is out at DOGE. Trump still not yet president and his cabinet has about a 50% turnover.

The Supreme Court decision was “we uphold the ban, it’ll be up to the Executive Branch to decide how/when to institute it.” The Supreme Court is not a law enforcement agency. That’s the President. Trump has said repeatedly that he’s simply not going to enforce it. Much like states say they’re not going to enforce federal drug laws when it comes to marijuana. Everyone has known this for months.
