> [@Morgenstern](#): > > Mark my words. You’ll be caught up in the financial turmoil that old hamster fists and his oligarchy brings. It’s going to sting you just as bad, if you have anything to lose that is. When it does, we’ll remind you that you can find sympathy between shit and syphilis in the dictionary, not here. I’m not sure it will matter to him. Far too many are willing to fuck up the whole country, as long as they are able to bring pain to their “enemies”. It doesn’t matter who wins, as long as “the other guys” suffer. ---

I’m at work, but watching online. I suppose you could say I’m “celebrating”…not necessarily celebrating the fact that Trump is the new president; celebrating the fact that the once again the process has taken place, just as it has every 4 years for more than two centuries, and just as it will again 4 years from now. ---

Does he realize he’s now the President and doesn’t need to keep campaigning? ---

That was a terrible speech. I’m not saying that because of my views about Trump, it was just… bad. ---

This is your Captain speaking, Please fasten your seat belt, there’s a few years of moderate to severe turbulence ahead. The flight attendants will be passing out barf bags shortly. Thank you for flying with us, we hope you enjoy the flight pending our unscheduled off airport landing in the beautiful mountains surrounding us. ---

Working, like every other Friday, and preparing to go to tomorrow’s DC march (not like every other Friday). Ignoring today’s inaugural events but not bothered by the fact that some people are enjoying the party. ---

I’m at work. I had the chance to read Trump’s inaugural address and watch just a little of the ceremonies. Then I started this thread: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=816812](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=816812) ---

So, I’m seeing pictures of the attendance, comparison shots between Obama’s 2009 Inauguration and…the most recent. I’m always a bit suspicious when what I see matches so closely with what I expect and what I would prefer. But if they are _genuine_…oh, my. The hilarity has ensued. ---

I’m working. I’m hoping to build a civilization ending artificial intelligence before Trump has the chance to end it all. My final words will to tweet Trump “Ha! Beat you to it, loser!” ---
