Today it’s Memorial Day for MLK in the US overshadowed by the TRUMP Inauguration … wonder what he would think of US politics …

Now talking about renaming Golf of Mexico, and now taking Panama Canal. And making threats to China- and expands our territory! War mongering. And taking Mars over.

He is completely mad.

Expand American territory??

There are 5 states in total, so far, that have bills that, if passed, will allow women having abortions to be charged with murder.

Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Kentucky

I am wondering what else you think is "fake news" that I can prove wrong for you?

So you honestly believe that women in certain states would be executed if they had an abortion? Really?

^The choir was nice … Didn’t the Glory Glory sound like John Browns body^ ..
Well it did because it is sung to the same tune The Battle Hymn of the Republic

Of course, should have realised 🙈

Actually I’m impressed 😳 never thought I would say this… liked the fact that he mentioned the auto car workers and saying that everyone should feel they can buy a car of their choice ..AND, there are only two genders, Male and Female

Just chilling, terrifying- and some here rejoice. Will they rejoyce when he makes us vassals and have to take the knee. Brexit they said, for Sovereignty!

No piece of paper. No autocues. He’s pretty awesome.

Autocues were set up, one of the commentators commented on this earlier.

I’m watching the whole thing on silent !
Loved the non kiss hat and the icy grin

When Trump was taking the oath and said 'I Donald Trump swear to execute.... ' my husband piped up 'anyone who stands in my way.'. He's not a fan.

Wow! Trump is really going for MAGA.

Himself just said “if I were sat amongst those Democrats to Trump’s left I’d have to grow a pair and walk out”. They must be squirming listening to Trump’s speech.

Has anyone noticed the lady in white jacket sitting behind the podium wearing a white bra bassinet ..really.. where does she thinks she’s at??

That’s her usual look. She’s the fiancé of Jeff Bezos.

Oh well I’m not surprised 😳..

*There are several states who want to charge women with murder for having an abortion, and include the death penalty for it*

No idea where you got that idea from , but, as Trump would say, "fake news."

Try North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas just for starters - all with plans to bring in a law making abortion a death sentence.

South Carolina is the first.

Texas already tried it back in 2022. Luckily, at the time, the laws did not allow it. The woman is now suing the state.

Macklemore ?? Where did that come from. Of course I meant Markle. The Americans can’t do pomp like we do !!!

If you don’t look at it it sounds like a Disney film. Well tbh even if you do look at it 😄😄
