Hahahahahahaha!
They are using the riot police to beat down the population for Trump. America is going down into the garbage.

Heading in to the ER for my shift now. Don't make me use my phone while I'm there please. Have fun with Amazon Turk surveys Mr. Self Employed!

Whether Trump admits it or not, Obama has left Trump with a country that it in good shape economically.
Actually things are horrific for most of us.
"Half of Americans Make Less than a Living Wage
According to the Social Security Administration, over half of Americans make less than $30,000 per year.
That's less than an appropriate average living wage of $16.87 per hour, as calculated by Alliance for a Just Society (AJS), and it's not enough -- even with two full-time workers -- to attain an "adequate but modest living standard" for a family of four, which at the median is over $60,000, according to the Economic Policy Institute.
AJS also found that there are 7 job seekers for every job opening that pays enough ($15/hr) for a single adult to make ends meet.
Half of Americans Have No Savings
A study by Go Banking Rates reveals that nearly 50 percent of Americans have no savings. Over 70 percent of us have less than $1,000. Pew Research supports this finding with survey results that show nearly half of American households spending more than they earn. The lack of savings is particularly evident with young adults, who went from a five-percent savings rate before the recession to a negative savings rate today.
Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman summarize: "Since the bottom half of the distribution always owns close to zero wealth on net, the bottom 90% wealth share is the same as the share of wealth owned by top 50-90 families."
Nearly Two-Thirds of Americans Can't Afford to Fix Their Cars
The Wall Street Journal reported on a Bankrate study, which found 62 percent of Americans without the available funds for a $500 brake job. A Federal Reserve survey found that nearly half of respondents could not cover a $400 emergency expense.
It's continually getting worse, even at upper-middle-class levels. The Wall Street Journal recently reported on a JP Morgan study's conclusion that "the bottom 80% of households by income lack sufficient savings to cover the type of volatility observed in income and spending."

Oh it was a total cheap shot, I'm pretty proud of it.
Do you really want some sort of evidence based on research on who attends inaugurations? Think about it, who is going to travel to DC to stand outside in the middle of January for a lot of announcements and a 15 minute speech that they can see much better on television. Who? Those that live nearby.
Who lives nearby? Clinton voters. Sure there are some Trump supporters in VA, but you're really relying on red state supporters to travel. Meh, no wonder there are smaller crowds. I'd like to see the Trump crowd size vs. Bush. Wikipedia suggests that Trump had a greater turnout, but I have to work so I'm not going to dig too deep.
Yes, I thought about that factor.
Thank you for actually thinking it through, America needs more people like you.

This is a weird red herring.
Also, people like you who try to polarize things further by assuming everyone is 100% democrat or 100% republican never seem to graduate past elementary understanding of the world and it's workings.
You don't have to be a hardcore republican to agree with some (or even all) of Trump's views or policies. And furthermore, many of us revel in the joy of seeing the smugness slapped right off the faces of people who were just so sure Clinton was the Chosen One. The smug sense of moral (among other forms of) superiority many people proudly wear like a badge still won't get Clinton elected president. Her supporters have had an awfully, awfully difficult time reconciling this fact.
The collective temper tantrums of many of her supporters/voters around the country have been embarrassing but extremely entertaining.
I'm certainly not saying Trump will be a great president. He may not even be a particularly good one. But since I don't believe Hillary would be any better, those factors cancel out. We are left with the joy of watching a bunch of special snowflakes and SJWs cry into their gluten-free coconut water over what they just know in their hearts could've and should've been.
I hope America can be great again.

You should read the proposed bills on guns. Never were guns going to be taken away
Firearm confiscation at the federal level is the end game, but the bulk of the activity for the gun banning crown (Bloomberg, Soros et al) is at the state level......registration, restriction, regulation (on hunting as well) ad infinitum. The state sponsored bills most people never see unless you know where to look. And the activity at the state level is voluminous.

You do realize that people did the same stuff against Obama that people are doing against Trump?
Breaking windows, throwing bottles and doing property damage you mean? Where did that happen during Obama's inauguration and whats the link? I think whats most telling about the relative IQ of most of the ones i saw on the telly was the group all wearing gas masks, and when asked questions about what they were protesting against had no coherent answers. Looked like a bunch of out of work bernie supporters truth be told.

The number of times the President blames his predecessor:
Obama: 6,342 ... and counting
Trump: 0 so far
I guess that doesn't count the campaign or transition period, in which a main platform issue was blaming the Clintons, Obama, Democrats, and liberals for everything. I'm also I interested where you got that number for Obama.
I am now convinced that you are a simply a troll than simply enjoys antogonizing people that don't agree with you.
And we check the counter after the inauguration speech,
Obama: 6,342
Trump: 0
Stay tuned for further updates.
(I am pointing out how Obama entered office blaming Bush for every problem, went through his entire Presidency blaming Bush while his own policies crashed and burned, and finished blaming Bush with the country in flames. We will not see that with Trump. We truly are going to see the difference between an agitator, which is all Obama ever was, and a leader who gets things done, which is what Trump is.)

You are right. The people who shut down the Trump rally in Chicago were Bernie supporters. They are getting crazier and more violent with every day.
The weather was perfect all morning until Trump addressed America. Then it started to rain. Salty raindrops. Liberal tears.

I don't..............it just reinforces how many unemployed, welfare collecting and misguided people there are, with nothing better to do with their time. AND on the opposite spectrum, there will also likely be the Hollywood types, the artsy music and literary types, the trust funders and people with more money than brains wandering about with a vapid expression on their faces. Maybe they will be wearing gas masks like I saw this AM or scarves so mommy doesn't recognize them and cut off the allowance. Either way you likely won't find many people that actually work for a living. They are too busy trying to feed their families and trying to better their own lives.
On this day eight years ago, when the country was losing hundreds of thousands of jobs a month and was on the verge of a Great Depression, Senators Jim DeMint, Bob Corker, John Ensign, Tom Coburn, Jon Kyl, and Representatived Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan, Pete Sessions, Jeb Hensarling, along with Newt Gingrich and Frank Luntz had a secret meeting where they agreed that their party should obstruct everything Obama sought to accomplish, no matter what.
Just an interesting historical tidbit.

... and then they went on to fund every single one of Obama's programs and barely fought back on a single thing. Republicans did nothing.
Therefore... Trump!
Looks like there's going to be a lot of violence from Democrats in DC tonight.
I am proud to say that Republicans did nothing like that over the last eight years, even when we were provoked.
Republicans = foundation of civilization
Democrats = lawless chaos
If I were a Democrat I would get out there and put an end to this... and I have some credibility when I say that because I helped organize Tea Party rallies, and I DID make sure no one got out of line. It's a pretty easy job when organizing civilized people, but none the less, that's what I did. It's what we all did.
This is not a good day for Democrats.
