And a cherry on top:

Federal offices have been instructed to remove all official portraits of the current POTUS at precisely 11:00A on 20 Jan. Frames are to be replaced on the walls, empty, and the photos 'respectfully' shredded. Photos are not to be retained as souvenirs, given away or otherwise distributed. A suitable document will be provided to frame, indicating that a photo of the new POTUS will be forthcoming. That is all.

perhaps these 'protestors' will have a first-hand opportunity to experience publicly funded medical care

they need to be dealt with severely to nip this protest shit in the bud and make them think twice about wanting to be stupid in the future

Tear gas cannons, gotta love it


President-elect Donald Trump's Cadillac One limousine is set to make its debut on Inauguration Day.
The first look at the presidential car also known as The Beast, reveals its features will be more impressive than some of the past 'beasts' used by his predecessors.
The Cadillac will be equipped with weapons including tear gas cannons, a shotgun, and even bottles of the President-elect's blood type in case of emergencies, reports said.
The limo's doors and windows will be bulletproof and sealed off to withstand chemical and biological attacks, which means only the driver will be able to roll down the window to pay tolls.

Exact details of the car's features are not revealed to the public, but recent model images have shown the limousine will even protect the new presidential family with an underside that is impervious to road side bombs.
The Secret Service first proposed a replacement for the presidential limo in 2014, and now the new model will replace the fleet of around 12 cars that were used by President Barack Obama since 2009, Autoweek reported in November.
It will also reportedly be plated with military-grade armor, making the doors so heavy that President Trump won't be able to open them from the inside.
General Motors has been paid a total of $15million to develop the vehicle, according to documents.
The new car will have the same black and silver paint as the previous beast, but it had been covered with camouflage paint to disguise new features.
Externally, the Cadillac One appears to have the same headlight and grille design as past beasts, (Cadillac Escalade sedan) and all body panels will be custom-fabricated.

The previous model was and included eight inches of armor, tear gas canisters, and two pints of the President's blood.
The vehicle is also fitted with night vision cameras, GPS tracking and a satellite communication system to allow it to run in any conditions and make sure the President is always in contact.

The previous car, described as a 'Caddy on a tank frame', weighed eight tons due to the huge amount of armor plating built into the frame.
The doors were around eight inches thick, each weighed the same as the door of a Boeing 747 jet, (eight tons) and concealed in the trunk was an oxygen supply that allows fresh air to be pumped into the cabin in the event that the air outside becomes toxic.

Our PA so admonished us, so I assume it came from an official source. Anything he does would be backed up with 10 layers of documentation.

Just putting this out there.

Interesting... I can't picture the President's motorcade lining up at a toll booth.

Somebody's gonna have to get a shitload of dimes.

Previously I posted a Wash Post article that Trump was going to fire the DC National Guard Commander the instant he was inaugurated. That sounded odd. The Commander is leading the military presence during the coming inaugural event

The Post’s original report set off a wave of stories across the world, causing raised eyebrows over Trump’s “extremely unusual” decision to fire a general in the middle of the presidential oath of office ceremony, especially during these dangerous times.

The paper reported that Major General Errol R. Schwartz, who has commanded the D.C. National Guard since his appointment to the position by George W. Bush, was told to vacate his office the moment Trump says his “I dos” to the oath of office. The decision was presented to readers as unfathomable, if not dangerous, by a president who doesn’t know what he is doing.

In an interview, General Schwartz told the paper that his firing was strange. “The timing is extremely unusual,” the general said.


Now it is being reported the Washington Post had yet another "fake news" story going on this.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...-natl-guard-general/

But the Post’s early reporting on the “firing” of General Schwartz contains no statements from the Trump transition office and also leaves out key points such as the fact that the general of the D.C. National Guard traditionally supplies his letter of resignation to every new president who is about to take office.

Subsequent to the publishing of the paper’s story making Trump appear incompetent, news emerged that the incoming Trump administration offered to let General Schwartz keep his position through inauguration day, but it was the general himself who refused the offer, preferring instead to quit at 12 noon on January 20, the hour Trump takes his oath of office.

The general then ran straight to the media to “argue his case in the press,” as a recent Fox News report noted.


This is far from the first time the paper made a big splash with a story only to quietly rewrite it the next day when it found its assertions in question. The Washington Post recently courted charges of “fake news” when it published the shocking story that the Russians hacked and infiltrated the computer systems of a Vermont power plant. By the next day, the paper completely rewrote its story, disavowing that any hack took place.

For the inauguration parade, our community has the privilege of having our Sheriff's Posse represent our voice in support of Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States.

Our Sheriff is pro Second Amendment, issues permits and sees the value of his role in promoting community pride. Not all of California is nutty and way left.

Our county has a long history of diverse voices. The saddles from the 30s and 40s are silver-laden tributes to our long tradition of Americans of many origins. There is a lot in the saddle work that reflects our blended communities - as Americans. The main criticism is that none of the saddles are set up for roping.

We are the only community in California that is sending a delegation. It makes us very proud. Even our Democrat Congressman supports our showing in the parade, acknowledging that to celebrate a new, lawful presidential transition is something very special.

For 17 horses, riders and support people to get there and back, not one dime of public money is being used. In fact, the money pledged by the Board of Supervisors was returned as the community and contributors from all over California kicked into the kitty - including, happily, us.

Democrats and Republicans can agree about things despite the over-hyped divisions I get so tired of seeing. My wife hugged the Sheriff at the inauguration fundraiser - although knowing how to not tangle your hats may be kind of a rural thing.

Because this is a Sheriff we have known for decades and worked to get elected, it adds more to the experience and satisfaction in bringing something of us to Washington. I suppose many of us feel this way.

We'll be looking for the Merced County Sheriff's Posse and we hope you do too.

I guess Peter Thiel should have delivered Holliday's invitation. Bocelli's should have been delivered by "Mad Dog" to give him a bit more courage in the face of threats to his revenue . . er uh, life. Such entertainers are, perhaps, really showing the heart of the business: sales and accolades. Fancy that.

Who says that big entertainment names should be selected for the honor anyway? Hearing some of these people riff up the national anthem, for instance, adds no additional dignity to ceremony. There are some very talented people in this country who would possibly bring more to the process by heartfelt involvement - not as a gig.

Although, Mariah Carey might be available for the right price and with the right lip syncing service.

"… I have no doubt that MI6 must have had full knowledge of his role in researching and then assembling his dossier, before offering it to Trump’s political enemies.

More damning still, it has been reported that Mr Steele sought the approval of Whitehall before showing his report to the FBI, America’s domestic intelligence agency.

In other words, British spy chiefs gave the green light to a scheme intended to destroy the man who would be President of the United States of America. …"

So not only are the russians meddling in our election but the brits too. Hmmm wheres the outrage?

About the pee non-issue.

This is entirely plausible, more so believable, regarding the way it works. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/deb...id-claims-stink.html

The first part of the article. The second part statement about the South Pole is spot-on fact.

Too long to cut and paste:

Kremlin counts days to Trump's inauguration, blasts Obama.

Snippet: Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova went further.

"If 'Russian hackers' hacked anything in America, there were two things: Obama's brain, and, of course, the report about 'Russian hackers,'" she wrote on Facebook.

Zakharova charged that "Obama and his illiterate foreign policy team have dealt a crushing blow to America's prestige and leadership" and described his administration as "a bunch of geopolitical losers, enraged and shortsighted."

Obama's administration still has a few days left to "destroy the world," Zakharova wrote.

That's a shame. But--why should there be ANY entertainment at the event? An Inauguration is a formal ceremony and should be dignified--how many current "singers" have any dignity left? And what does it matter if performers are "not widely known outside the US"? Are we holding the Inauguration for foreigners?

Lemme guess. The Sisters of Mary are calling in the death threats?

This shit is getting old.

How sad has liberalism and the Democratic party become? So sad that Alec Baldwin and Rosie O’Donnell, and other detached, unhinged, Hollywood elitists are the de facto head of the liberal movement and Democratic party. There is no one else. It’s only real power lies in Hollywood.

Cory Booker? After his ineloquent, non-sequitur, and cringe-worthy performance at the Jeff Sessions hearing, he can only be regarded by serious voters as little more than a real-life Oswald Bates, of “In Living Color” fame.

Elizabeth Warren? The “native-American” queen of hypocrisy from Massachusetts (as if Massachusetts produces much of anything other than crying, hypocritical weenies these days). She rails against the one percent, while being seated, herself, at the top of the one percent, with more connections to Wall Street than a hedge-fund manager’s office PC.

Bernie Sanders? He’s an elderly communist, and unabashedly so, whose source of generosity is anyone else’s wallet. Who claims to be poor, yet buys homes worth more than his reported net worth. Seems only a politician can pull off something like that.

Obama and his, not just un-American policies, but rather anti-American policies, have left the Democratic party (never mind America for the moment) in shambles. Globalism, neglect of American national defense, draconian business regulations, his not so subtle war on police… It goes on and on and on. And his democratic co-horts have done nothing to mitigate the negative effects of his policies and executive orders, walking in lock-step with him through the entirety of the last eight years. Who can forget the passing of the Obamacare law, when Nancy Pelosi said, “let’s pass it then we can see what’s in it.” Obama’s historicalness as the first black president (which is hard to understate) has already been overshadowed by his destructiveness. Future Americans will review Obama’s historicity and draw one major conclusion - color doesn’t matter, anyone can screw up a country.

The democrats are now headless. Like a body falling away from the guillotine, this headlessness is manifested in the body’s aimless flailing.

Most visibly, that flailing can be seen in Hollywood. Almost humorous (and I say almost, because some of it appears to reach the level of a serious mental illness), is the reaction of Hollywood. Hollywood has, for many years now, been the brainstem of the democratic party. Still attached to the body, but on its own incapable of producing anything more than wild spasms, the best it can do is cause the body to gurgle, and swing, and kick in all directions until it, too, runs out of electricity. Rosie O’Donnell calling for the military to seize control of the government to usurp the will of the voters. Katie Perry calling for revolution. (That worked out well last time the democratic party went that route, didn’t it?) The Not-My-President tweets. Again, it goes on and on and on.

The remnant of the democratic party isn't immune from these headless spasms, either. After all, even dead bodies fart. Impotent senators and representatives calling Trump’s win illegitimate because of unproven Russian hacking. Calling on the CIA to actively undermine the president. And it goes on and - nevermind, you get it. Their spasms are stupid - clearly the product of brainlessness.

And darn those Russians. How dare they send a phishing e-mail to John Podesta and trick him into giving his e-mail password to just anyone. And how dare they expose the real nature of the democratic party – which called the latino effort the “Taco Bowl outreach.” Calling black Americans "never-do-wells." Showing proof of collusion with the media. Proving further that the DNC cheated Bernie Sanders out of a fair shot at the nomination – not that the poor communist from Vermont had a better chance, or better policies. And showing their clear distain for Christians and Jews. No, for democrats the real problem isn’t their absurd nature. The real problem for them is bringing the truth about them to light.

So, I’ll sit back and watch the headless body flail. It may run out of electricity soon, or like a headless snake, it may flail for a long time. Either way, it should make for some interesting viewing.
