The Inauguration Boycott
I know some folks didn't watch. I get it. But same as last Trump time, I watch these compound fractures like a hawk.
Howdy Horn Honkers. I know a lot of y'all didn't watch the Inauguration.
I understand.
Trump's first speech as the 47th President of the United States was just about what you would expect as he was handed the keys to the kingdom.
Border. Crime. Gender. Mars.
He declared that Mexican drug cartels would be designated as terrorists. A fine idea. But you know they work hand in hand with your pal China, right?
So I assume cartels must disband unless they're on TikTok.
He will declare a national emergency at the Southern border, he says. He shut down the app that allows migrants to legally (instead of illegally) enter the U.S., dissolving 4,000 applications into mist.
The "Remain in Mexico" policy will be revived. "Catch and release" will end. Millions of undocumented people, he told us, will be deported.
This hardline policy is likely the biggest reason Hair Hitler got re-elected, and what many -- in fact, more than not -- Americans want. Remember, he even received 46% of the Latino vote.
If he does it on the scale promised and it’s not limited to actual criminals, it's going to have an impact on the economy.
I'm not sure even his voters will enjoy that impact.
But we shall see.
He told us that gang activity in the USA will be eliminated. I support this. I'm not sure how they'll eliminate the GOP but I can't wait to see how Lindsey Graham fares in prison.
There will be U.S. policy proclaiming there are only two genders, male and female (in that order of importance, I have no doubt.)
You are assigned based on whether your body produces eggs or sperm.
They’re not even gonna bother with chromosomes. Too science-y.
Trump got a standing ovation by the gender Gestapo for this announcement, both in the Capitol and a nearby arena where his pronoun-insecure faithful gathered.
Let me sprinkle some facts into this convo.
There have been Trans citizens during every single Presidential administration this country has ever had -- and even before that. There will ALWAYS be genderqueer and Trans folks. Oh Donald, stop this silliness. Go sexually assault a hamberder or something.
He promised my beloved Gulf of Mexico would be renamed the Gulf of America. Hillary Clinton literally laughed out loud at this.
Me too, Hil.
Drill baby drill. This means some federal lands, formerly protected, will be damaged or destroyed. But why?
We are already the second biggest energy producer in the world.
The only reason we amp up drilling is to make oil barons and related corporations richer.
Wish voters understood destroying the land they live on to make people WHO AREN'T YOU richer is a terrible idea unless you think "Make America a Barren Wasteland" is a keen slogan.
I know the unaware cheer that it will reduce prices at the pump, but they may literally choke on their delight because it will increase pollution-related illnesses.
Fact. Look it up.
Harmful emissions come out of big oil drilling projects. EPA regulations keep them in check.
He's planning on relaxing EPA restrictions.
Trump said we will plant an American flag on Mars. First Lady Elon Musk cheered. He looked as happy as if he had good sense. Amazing to have enough cash to colonize Mars and not use it to make Earth better. What a guy.
"The Golden Age of America begins right now."
But whose Golden Age is this?
Thank you, Therra. We must stick together, must be there to love and support each other for the next 4 years. We can not give in to despair no matter what.
Therra, thank you for telling the truth in a way that doesn’t send me into despair!
