[Poll] It's Inauguration Day, what will you be doing?

I’m secretly just a little bit happy. The comedians are going to have a BLAST for the next four years.

Unless Colbert has to hold back tears again. That wasn’t so funny.

Somebody was apparently busy at work today changing DNS entries / updating web servers: https://www.whitehouse.gov/

Already mentioned this in another thread: Trump has solved the “climate change” problem…by elimination all mention of it from the official White house website.

And the purge goes on, and on, and on…

I’ll be celebrating like New Orleans as Katrina approached.

One thing I’d forgotten until I actually went to whitehouse.gov is that at a change of Administration, whitehouse.gov starts over again from scratch. As I recall from 2009, not just the content from the Bush years went away, the design and format of the website changed completely as well when Obama became President. This happened again now.

So all mention of climate change was removed from the White House website, because everything was removed from the White House website.

I spent the day sad but busy with a sick daughter who had to go to the doctor as a “walk-in” so we were there for half the day. I am so glad she has insurance. She has a respiratory and sinus infection. The medications cost more than I earn in a week.

Thanks Obama.

Need to have a "Rest of the World: pointing and laughing’ option.

I worked. I probably wouldn’t have watched anyway. I don’t remember watching an inauguration yet. Political speeches and pageantry bore me.

No we don’t. We clearly don’t care what the rest of the world points and laughs at. :cool:

Doing some work, watching some of the coverage on TV, thinking about the afterlife.

Just got through patching (temporary only, alas) a leak in my ceiling.

Clearly, Trump is to blame.

…I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from maundering…

I took a long nap. The first decent sleep I’ve had all week.

I got mixed up on the date, thinking it was the 19th, and just kinda had fun. Until I ran into people talking about the inauguration saying it had happened. And, since then, I’ve just had times of just anger, but in a weird, dejected form. Like the anger you get when you’re depressed.

From what I hear, one of his first acts was to shut down something that is the only reason why a trans friend is even alive today. She got housing with government help, right when she was about to become homeless due to the discrimination she faced. With a house, she found a job, and is doing well enough for herself, but not well enough to financially help her many trans friends in the same situation.

This is why I consider gloating to just be an admission that you don’t care about other people at all.

What act would that be?
