The Trump campaign organization was a fractious bunch of people, and the disarray has been carried into the White House.

I don't expect some of his staff to last very long.

I don't expect Trump will continue his old ways, either. He didn't realize what the scrutiny that is part of the Presidency is when he arrived, but I'm sure he's very aware of it now. I hope his hide becomes thicker soon, because he has a lot to accomplish, and he didn't get off to a very good start.

Understand this:

The crowd at Obama's inauguration was much larger than Trump's.

The crowd at last week's Women's March were larger than Trump's inauguration.

Trump's "Alternative Facts" are LIES.

Trumplethinskin is a liar.

Whenever his lips move they lie.
It is OBVIOUS you did NOT see the picture I posted of the crowd for Trump's inauguration!

I will NOT lower myself to your level by casting out juvenile insults when you have nothing of value to say!

..but ohh, what an amazing president is is going to be, and is already being. America is so very fortunate that Donald was elected and crooked hillary was given the boot. Be very glad Trump was elected....

Wrong. 30 million people watched Trump's inauguration on TV, and at least 16 million live-streamed it. That's more than watched any other inauguration in U.S. history.

So what?

Would mentioning it have cured it?

People were calling for gays to be quarantined in concentration camps when Reagan was president, and he could easily have done that but he didn't.

It was probably just as well that he kept silent. Talking about it might have stirred the anti-gay yahoos up.

There is no evidence that Reagan was anti-gay. He was from Hollywood, and certainly had lots of friends who were gay. His own son was gay.

I find all this Reagan bashing from the gay community to be especially distasteful.

Heavy drug use and promiscuity were the norm in the big cities among gay men in the late seventies/early eighties, and STDs of all kinds were rampant.

You can't live that way and then suddenly be outraged that you're sick and everyone is supposed to drop everything and make it priority number one to help you.

Randy Shilts was a third rate journalist who became self-appointed spokesman for the gay community.

His book was sensationalist claptrap and just another instance where activists who knew nothing about medicine turned science into a political football.

His "patient zero" nonsense was particularly grotesque.

BAM! This is true. In 2009, the Internet was in its infancy, and most people had a dial-up connection. It wasn't possible to watch Obama's inauguration except on network TV, unless you attended in person.

These dumb ass liberals do nothing but lie. Every damn one of them is a liar. Their purpose is to undermine not only this president but our democratic Republic. They are socialists, intent on turning the USA into a socialist state. They hate our Constitution and would rather tear it up and throw it in the trash. That's what "Progressivism" is all about, and the Democrats are all "progressives."

No, they don't want to tear it up. They've said over and over again that it's a "living,breathing document".

What they really want to do is ABORT it!

I believe you're thinking of the mid-'90s, so, about a decade and half off. Of course it was possible to stream the inauguration in 2009. But thanks for your input. Alternative facts are always highly entertaining.
