And the sun came up. No one lost any civil rights. The wall was not started. Gays lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders, have not been denied any inalienable rights. We have not started any new wars anywhere. In other words, on the far right, life will go on with Trump, and the Tea party has been lied to again

And the changes begin in 3....2....1....
Actually I'm waiting to see the interaction between our new president, and the congress, and the house. I DO expect to see a number of changes the first 100 days. Tick, tick, tick...

This is going to be an interesting 8 years.
Hopefully Prez Trump will acquire some tact in getting his demands met.

They DID put in a new page promoting Melania's jewelry line that people can buy on QVC. Nice to see what is important on Day One.

Actually, the trouble has already begun. The new Pres. has already signed off on the paperwork to dismantle the ACA. I'm sure more trouble will follow...

Day 1 he is complaining that the media lied about the turnout fir his coronation inauguration (the media didn't lie) Twice as many turned out for the Womens March The media also claimed that Trump removed the bust of MLK Jr...which was completely false. So, again, if we can't trust the media on one story then how can we trust them on any of their stories? dailycaller.com/2017/01/21/trump-calls-out-time-magazine-for-fake-news-story-about-removing-mlk-bust-from-oval-office/But why was the media comparing Obama's inauguration crowd to Trumps, anyway? Have they ever done that in the past? Would they have compared Hillary's with Obama's? This just further proves the leftist slant of most MSM outlets and gives clout to Trump's claims that the media is against him - even though they are supposed to be neutral. Nothing about Trump's inauguration coverage was bipartisan at all, it seems.

They probably reported on crowd sizes in part because they know how much Trump likes to brag his stuff is bigger and better. I don't see that as leftist, they are trying to get viewers and internet page clicks.

On Day One, our POTUS went to Langley, stood in front of the memorial wall, and instead of mending fences, unzipped his fly and ... (COC intervention) while his bused-in supporters clapped and the cameras rolled.
Don't worry if you slept in and missed it. There will be plenty of re-runs.

It's working because normally the correction is made on pg. 5 on Fri. after the screaming Mon. headline.

Wasn't the correction and apology made WAY before Trump went after the media and the reporter for the error?

Yes. They actually posted apology accepted. Then later made a big deal about it.

This just further proves the leftist slant of most MSM outlets and gives clout to Trump's claims that the media is against him - even though they are supposed to be neutral. Nothing about Trump's inauguration coverage was bipartisan at all, it seems. I also often think the media is biased in it's reporting, but on this issue I have a guess as to why the reports on crowd size were made. I was in DC Friday through Sunday and the differences in activity level were incredibly striking. My friends and I were walking outside the Mall from 11ish to 4ish during the Inauguration and were shocked at how empty everything was - from the bizarrely empty streets to all the empty bleachers you could see through the fences, it was like a ghost town. Our plane had been delayed so we hadn't arrived as early as we would have liked and we started to worry there was some sort of bomb treat or something else that caused things to be evacuated but that we hadn't heard about. Very, very strange. It was even quiet. We could hear most of the speeches over the loudspeakers but no cheering or crowd noise, even when we were on the roads right outside the area. Complete contrast to Saturday where the sidewalks were packed for over a mile north of the same area and you could hear the crowds from even further out. Granted, we were only walking around the area to the north of the Mall, so maybe the traffic patterns were different and the people there for the inauguration came/left from the south and the people there for the Women's March came/left from the north? So there could be reasons why the same places were so empty Friday and so packed on Saturday, but if you were in DC it was not only impossible not to notice the contrast, it was strange enough to be a topic of conversation.

This just further proves the leftist slant of most MSM outlets and gives clout to Trump's claims that the media is against him - even though they are supposed to be neutral. Nothing about Trump's inauguration coverage was bipartisan at all, it seems. Nonsense. They have numbers for such things as TV ratings and Metro ridership. They have pictures for things like crowd size. Yes, they have it for every inauguration. That's how they know that the 31.8 million TV viewers was less than the 38 million for Obama's first inauguration, or the 41 million for Reagan's. (That goes back over thirty years, by the way. This is not a new phenomenon.) That is also how they know that the viewership for this one was larger than Clinton, or Bush, or Obama's second. They know that the Metro ridership was way below that for Obama, and slightly less than for Bush in 2005. Would it have been an issue this time if not for Trump and his people predicting it would be the largest and greatest in history? No. Would it be an issue now if not for the continued whining and lying of the president and his people? No. The only blame for this being an issue lies squarely at the feet of the insecure little narcissist in the White House and the obsequious little toadies trying to be tough that he runs out there to lie and bash the press for him. Utterly pathetic and entirely unpresidential. THAT is why he is being so badly mocked in pretty much every corner. He's a joke. I have to give him credit for being an overachiever. Usually it takes a new president way more than a day to reveal his ridiculousness.

Gays lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders, have not been denied any inalienable rights.We have not started any new wars anywhere. In other words, on the far right, life will go on with Trump, and the Tea party has been lied to again Seems to be only a matter of time. The White House website was changed to eliminate the pages describing policy for both LGBT rights and climate change. We know already that the new administration is against climate change legislation. What should be the interpretation of dumping the LGBT rights page? There is a bright side, though. They DID put in a new page promoting Melania's jewelry line that people can buy on QVC. Nice to see what is important on Day One. Are you serious? Hawking jewellery on the White House website?

Supposedly they took it down on Day Two. I read that her bio is still there but the reference to buying her stuff on QVC was gone.

it's hard to do anything when you've taken the weekend off. according to our new leader, his Day One is Monday. Maybe he's just on one of Obama's golf outings? I heard he was playing "horse" with some pro basketball guys. Also heard he was having the engines to AF 1 warmed up as he's got lots and lots of foreign trips to make. In fact, AF 2 is being readied so Melania can make her own plans and not to have to waste her time sitting on AF 1 waiting for Pres. Trump to be ready to go. You go girl!! just like Mrs. Obama, travel on your own plane with your own schedule.

So he is bringing the automobile industry leaders in today to discuss manufacturing the autos here in America.
Anyone here have a problem with this? I know I don't.

I will be a little skeptical of the number of jobs he will announce have been saved/created by the meeting. It is not Trump, but time that will tell us the story of this presidency.
