Welcome President Trump.

[Jeff]

I'm sitting here at the cabin watching with tears streaming.

 THANK YOU GOD

[doc henderson]

God Bless America!

[Greenie]

I'm very optimistic about my daughter & granddaughter's future now.

Jeff,

  I know exactly how you feel! I kept tearing up and choking up when I'd try to speak.

  I was fixing to start a similar thread on inaugurations. I was stationed at Quantico USMC base and we got the time off to go watch Jimmy Carter's inauguration parade and remember seeing Col. Sander on a  KFC float and the final group in the parade were the Peanut Brigade towing a big helium filled peanut balloon. They had chartered a train and come up for the ceremonies from Plains GA..

  I was working in Riyadh Saudi Arabia at their navy's logistic center when Clinton defeated GHW Bush and it struck me as odd when several of my Saudi, Filipino and Pakistani co-workers came up and asked me "Will President Bush actually step down and turn over the US government to Clinton?" In their countries, if they had an election (N/A for Saudis) if the opposition party got elected the president declared the election null and void and declared martial law and just stayed in office. I had never thought about it but it is normal for us to do an orderly turnover like we did today. It is a beautiful thing to see and my hopes are high right now.

[Chuck White]

Same here Jeff!

Difficult to speak correctly when you're choked up!

I've watched several inaugurations during my time, but this is the most impressive.

[Magicman]

The people have spoken.  Now if Congress would only listen to the same people and respond.  Hopefully they will.

[rusticretreater]

When I saw the outstanding young people that join our military parade in, escort people or simply be present, I told my wife that we have nothing to worry about and that we will be safe. 

God Bless America and its magnificent Gulf to the south.

Make America American Again

[NE Woodburner]

As the father of two currently serving military officers I feel a lot better now...

[Nebraska]

Had 20 quiet minutes in the office and watched the actual swearing ceremony and  watched the entrance into the first ball called it a night.  Just wanted to see it. 

[47sawdust]

Well....my family unit includes women,blacks,gays,lesbians,military vets as well as active duty vets.We are not comfortable about the message of this president or his past behavior.

[Jeff]

Well, we wish all of you the best which we and I beleive President Trump always has.  We are not different people. We have different news sources.

[aigheadish]

I'm pretty happy to see Trump in office again, let's hope he gets a lot of the common sense stuff done.

I also hope that his campaign wasn't lip service to MAHA and that RFK Jr. gets to run off his leash occasionally. I'd love to see our food get a lot more healthy and our pharma's get a lot more studied to make sure they are more effective than they are weapons of population control or reasons to make you sick enough to need more pharmas...

The first round of Executive Orders seem like winners. And it was great to see the sourpuss Melania smile and look like she was having fun at the Liberty Ball.

47sawdust- I'm not trying to be a jerk or confrontational or anything just genuinely curious... Do you only watch the news or have you looked at the context of stuff that Trump has said and done? I'll grant you that he can be a trash talker but his actions usually point to him seeming like a pretty decent guy, especially compared to our warmongering past leaders or folks that influenced them. Also, I think the trash talking is funny and can make for excellent negotiations.

[47sawdust]

I don't watch the news or listen to the radio.
I listen to my heart and my gut.They never let me down.
I do read the Christian Science Monitor whose motto is,"To injure no man,but to bless all mankind."

I join with those of you who welcome in #47. My answer to some folks who asked how I could vote for DJT was always " We are electing a President and Commander in Chief to run the Country and not a Pope". Personally I have great confidence that we can get this great country back to what we all know and love. Also it's like a weight has been lifted from our shoulders
