  1. That is hysterical.

  2. OK inaugurations aren’t stupid if they can give us something that utterly wonderful.

    Obama was pretty gracious today, huh? Good for him!

    Patterico (dc43de) — 1/20/2017 @ 1:15 pm

  3. Apparently, that was also Obama’s response when Bergdahl’s pardon request was considered.

    Give him credit for that.

  4. How unoriginal – again, a lift from pop culture (Star Wars Episode 3, when the newly crafted Darth Vader is told his 2 children and wife died at birth).

  5. urbanleftbehind, that remix is already on Twitter.

  6. To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, to take their positions and their titles for yourself. This is the highest spoils.

  13. son, your mother and I have been talking and we feel it’s in your best interest to clean your basement bedroom, brush your teeth and find a job

    scott (2bad05) — 1/20/2017 @ 2:14 pm

  14. @12- Yeah. ‘marshall’ speech is being bantered about, too. Maddow is such a ‘Debbie Downer’ today.

    Gee, are they going to say Melania ‘plagiarized’ Jackie-O’s look as well? They’ve already found old images and aired similar blue-suited images of the two, side by side. She is quite easy on the eyes today.

  15. your tears are sweet honey to my lips

    quasimodo (6a1917) — 1/20/2017 @ 2:18 pm

  16. did i mention I loath trump? yet the tears are delicious

    quasimodo (6a1917) — 1/20/2017 @ 2:20 pm

  17. @13- Son? Are you sure that isn’t a ‘woman’? Patterico or at least ITV should clarify if he’s a Butch or she’s a butch. šŸ˜‰

  18. That poor left winger must feel as Charlton Heston did when he saw Lady Liberty in Planet of the Apes.

  20. At least jedha city or the citadel at scarif.

  21. Love the “are people looking at me?” check at 0:08 prior to the virtue-signaling scream
    ahhahaha

  22. An ‘inaugural classic’ is a piece of business aired on CSPAN…

    Trump was signing some papers in an anteroom just after the swearing in… and it was televised. So he reads each paper, picks up a pen and starts signing one… then repeats .. and signs. .. and keeps signing using the same pen. Pretty straightforward. Until a few of the Congressional critters made it known he should sign and hand each pen out as freebee gift. There were boxes of these $$ pens… and they clearly were not 99 cent Bics. And it’s not as if Ryan or Pelosi, etc., didn’t get them in the past… then they literally bartered with each other over which pen to get. It was a small thing o be sure, but such a telling and vivid piece of gimme, gimmie, gimmie television… like they deserved to get the stuff. You could almost read in Trump’s face how utterly absurd and wasteful it all was as he half-mocked it all. Then he started handing pens to the kids standing near by. It was hilarious.

  23. Everyone behaved today, except for the rioters of course. Why didn’t we see more of the awesome talladega band?? And I don’t remember the parade going after dark before. Love Melania’s look too.

    Well done America.

  24. “The cafeteria ran out of vegan options”

    lee (55777a) — 1/20/2017 @ 3:44 pm

  25. Obama was gracious?

    I think we can file that “compliment” in the “Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations” drawer.

    Deuce Frehley (8afd8b) — 1/20/2017 @ 3:55 pm

  26. Love that moment, 21.

    Patricia (5fc097) — 1/20/2017 @ 3:57 pm

  27. Find the clip from CNN today where protester setting the American flag on the bonfire singed his hand.

    Harkin (0aee87) — 1/20/2017 @ 4:11 pm

  28. Fake. Not very convincing acting, neither.

    nk (dbc370) — 1/20/2017 @ 4:12 pm

  29. Seeing just how unhinged the left have become makes it worth having to have Donald Trump as President.

    The amused Dana (1b79fa) — 1/20/2017 @ 4:54 pm

  30. Nope.

    Your meter is bent.

    This is an instant inauguration classic.

    The awesome is real. PBS tears of anguish are implied.

  31. You didn’t notice that he/she/it was peeking waiting for his/her/its cue, papertiger?

    nk (dbc370) — 1/20/2017 @ 5:10 pm

  32. he’s so damn beautiful

    happyfeet (28a91b) — 1/20/2017 @ 5:11 pm

  33. Nk, I haven’t bothered with Pat’s clip.

    Too busy looking for my own.

    That PBS clip got my fire stoked.

    papertiger (c8116c) — 1/20/2017 @ 5:15 pm

  34. Should have said “… Just Pat‘s clip.”

    papertiger (c8116c) — 1/20/2017 @ 5:18 pm

  35. Don’t know that I’d call it classic, but I like it.

  39. Trump wanted tanks and missile launchers at is inauguration? ‘Figures, he wants to speak loudly and carry a little stick.

  40. Bartender, another round of muscatel for the losers. Their hearts are broken, and as their dreams are dashed in the harsh arithmetic of the Electorical College, the illusion of comfort awaits in fortified drink.

    ropelight (82fc11) — 1/20/2017 @ 7:32 pm

  41. Tillman, it’s always better if our American President wants to arm America and doesn’t want Iran to have nukes than to have an American President who wants to disarm America and enable Iran to have nukes.
