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

My first link was from Fox News. Certainly not liberal now is it?

Care to state a percentage of non-whites in the room?

I'd estimate not more than 2%. Description of sea of white not far off!

I’ve got a wonderful feeling, everything's going Trump’s way…

Well there is nothing beautiful about a convicted felon being elected President . Surrounded by billionaire tech bros . No average Joe ‘s in attendance and if you didn’t notice a sea of white people . A travesty on Martin Luther Kings day . Nope nothing to celebrate here ! A day of shame , really !

J D Vance’s wife is an Indian Hindhu.

Relevance? Were Hindus ever slaves in the USA?

I was just pointing out that there were faces other than white in the inauguration.

Your sea of white people was inaccurate.

Oops ! Trump forgot to put his hand on the bible ! Melania was late to the podium . Chaos has only just begun !

I think Melania chose her hat very carefully. The brim was deliberately wide to Donald couldn't get near enough to plant that kiss!

oops- just posted the same on the other thread! Glad I am not the only one to have thought of this!

Well she was there and Obama by necessity but did you have a look at the rest of the VIPs there ? Says it all !!!

Obama's wife should have been there. I wonder if he considered taking someone else or didn't mind walking in on his own.

Melania looked very classy as she always does.

Did you not get the part that Michelle was not going to grace her presence towards a man who is taking away women’s rights and who has been vulgar beyond belief towards her family ? Good for her for showing the class to not dignify this occasion by attending .

and so much more important than huge threats to the environment, the environment of our grandchildren, as long as that hat was nice.

oh yes, so much more important than a sppech full of vengeance on the rest of the world, and threats of expansion. But her hat was nice- hurrah.

Melania looks amazing. As always. People have been showing an interest in what the First Lady wears for decades.

No harm in it at all

Utter nonsense ! All recent First Ladies have worn designers featuring America’s designers . Ridiculous statement . I didn’t see the point of wearing a hat that hid half of Melanie’s face .

It’s a pity that when he spoke of God saving his life after the assassination attempt, he couldn’t have paid tribute to those who died.
Disgraceful in so many ways.

Kate1949 Mon 20-Jan-25 18:11:56

God saved him to make America great again. Heaven help us all. He is a mad man.

Well MAGA supporters, looks like you’re about to get what you voted for!

God help you - and the rest of us too.
