It's going to be a beautiful thread. MNers, who by the way are amazing, can contribute as much as they want.

Meanwhile on Newsthump - China has confirmed the year of the cock is to last four years.

I tried that informal she is having one of those irrational moments where she wants the burger, but won't eat the burger, but is hungry, but doesn't want to eat...Cue hysterical screaming. Personally I don't care if she eats it or not, never been one for battles over food.

She just say on my lap in tears and said DH and I are not allowed to talk about Trump any more. I think we have found the source of the problem! She is understandably upset by the inauguration....Poor muffin

No year of the pig?

Obama is giving a speech now. He can do sentences so well.... Remember when America had a president that talked in sentences.

Hilarious!

Over tired and past hungry - been there, got the t-shirt. Glass of milk often worked for us.

I'm just coming back into it all. Recorded the ceremony for later and am in the bath watching the live coverage feeling very sad.

He seems to have an eagle sat on his head.

And why is mn still so slooow.

DH has just got snappy over the amount of dinner DS has chucked on the floor (although he did apologise afterwards and did his share of cleaning up).

I've had enough of today.

I think we already established it's the Russians badkitten. Though it may be god punishing us for our sinful ways.

I think everyone is just a bit snappy spud. I just feel annoyed with the world now that this has been allowed to happen. That speech was the words of a dictator in the making. We never learn.

No year of the pig? Good point. That's for the next four years once he's re-elected.

Very true - so nationalistic and confrontational. I still can't actually believe how muted the crowd were (and how few of them there were).. it doesn't feel like a particularly auspicious start!

But he's old. He can't keep going all that long can he? He's hardly lived the life of a monk.

He's getting really weak applause 😂😂😂

Bow he made a long pause and lalmost bo one clapped

I think Bane does it with so much more warmth and gravitas.

Sadly he just won't see that though. In his mind eye he is being welcomed like the Messiah.

I think he's nuts actually. Definitely not closely acquainted with reality.

Thing is mavis, he doesn't drink, smoke, sleep much. He's probably made of kryptonite, I don't think he'll have a problem with energy TBH. Unfortunately.

So you're saying he's not a real person? Maybe that's the problem. He just needs a bloody good drink.

Even if I didn't despise him I cannot imagine being enthralled by his speech!

Now he's talking about no room for prejudice 😂😂😂

And the first policy has been announced, missile defence system against Iran and North Korea.
What a beautifully positive start to this new era of enlightenment.

:(

I feel very meh about someone who has never ever read a book (has admitted to that), doesn't drink (nothing wrong with someone not drinking BUT he has never even had one drink) and doesn't need sleep. All of that put together is not normal in my book!

Oh my god kitten ... really? Fighting talk isn't it..

I am not sure what the official difference is between patriotism and nationalism, but in the dictionary in my head the point at which patriotism becomes nationalism is when blood gets mentioned....

It also means that if the Russian bedroom allegations are true he did those things completely sober!
