The billionaire oligarchs were allowed to bring their spouses to the Rotunda, and were given seats ahead of Trump's cabinet nominees at the inauguration.
Those magas are chumps - they could have stayed home and watched on TV, but they spent time and money to travel to DC to watch in person, but ended up watching on TV.
The extreme cold weather made a good excuse to move it indoors because trump is in bad health, but the real reason is to avoid the embarrassment of an even smaller crowd than in 2017. Also, I've heard that the flags are being flown half-staff, as is proper, because the extreme cold has frozen the ropes that pull the flags up and down. God is doing President Carter a solid and giving Maga Mike and trump the finger.
A kleptocratic oligarchy is being formed on the right even as we hear donnie speak just now. The seat placement is just the beginning of wealth privilege on display. Wait for the tax cuts which will NOT be paid for. They will raise the red ink by trillions and the politicians will keep whining about the deficit. Just remember that every time donnie speaks he lies to your face. Every. Single. Time.
The US Presidency and Government is now for sale. Do Donald a favor or make him richer and you will be rewarded. What a shame we have gotten to this point in America.
How far we've fallen for a convicted felon and sexual abuser to be elected president. Apparently, it's cool now to be a Trump supporter. He's more popular than ever. You know who else was wildly popular in their day? Al Capone, John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd and Clyde Barrow. Look how they ended up.
I sorry for America, I mean all America, Democrats and Republicans alike. Trump will not be ruling for any of us! He will do the immigration bit, to his Mega supporters behind him, but the those who will really benefit, will not his MAGA supporters, but the the very rich. His MAGA supporters could watch it on TV a few miles away, and that would good enough for them. Just watch America morph into government much like what Hungry now has. Getting back to who got to see the inauguration in person, it was not Trump MAGA supporters, but his oligarchs, who he values for what they can do for him personally. So the Rotunda it was for Trump and his oligarchs!
Revolutions against oligarchs are complex social phenomena driven by economic, social, and political factors. While they are not strictly caused by “mathematical triggers,” certain quantifiable thresholds or disparities often create the conditions for revolutionary movements. These include:
1. Gini Coefficient Thresholds
• Definition: The Gini coefficient measures income or wealth inequality (0 = perfect equality, 1 = perfect inequality).
• Trigger: Studies suggest that when the Gini coefficient crosses 0.4–0.45, dissatisfaction and unrest are likely to grow, as the majority feel excluded from economic benefits.
2. Wealth Concentration Ratios
• Definition: The share of wealth controlled by the top 1%, 5%, or 10% of a population.
• Trigger: When the top 1% control more than 40–50% of a nation’s wealth, it can signal oligarchic dominance, alienating the broader populace and fueling revolutionary sentiment.
3. Poverty and Real Wages
• Definition: The proportion of the population living below the poverty line and the purchasing power of wages.
• Trigger: Rising poverty rates combined with stagnant or declining real wages (adjusted for inflation) erode public trust in the system and amplify calls for radical change.
4. Unemployment and Underemployment Rates
• Definition: The percentage of the labor force that is unemployed or underemployed.
• Trigger: Unemployment above 20%, especially among youth, correlates strongly with revolutionary movements.
5. Food Price Index Spikes
• Definition: The cost of basic food staples relative to incomes.
• Trigger: Sharp increases in food prices (e.g., 30–50% within a short period) strain low-income households, often acting as a tipping point for unrest, as seen in the French Revolution and Arab Spring.
6. Social Mobility Decline
• Definition: The ability of individuals to improve their economic status relative to their parents or peers.
• Trigger: A marked decline in intergenerational social mobility (measured by metrics like income elasticity) can solidify perceptions of oligarchic entrenchment.
7. Tax Burden Inequities
• Definition: The ratio of taxes paid by different economic classes.
• Trigger: When the tax burden disproportionately affects the middle and lower classes while the wealthy avoid significant taxation, resentment builds.
8. Critical Mass of Disenfranchised Population
• Definition: The percentage of the population feeling politically or economically excluded.
• Trigger: When 50–60% of people believe the system is rigged against them, organized opposition becomes more likely.
9. Government Debt and Corruption Metrics
• Definition: Levels of public debt relative to GDP and perceptions of corruption (e.g., measured by Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index).
• Trigger: High debt levels coupled with blatant corruption can erode public trust and amplify anger against oligarchs.
10. Economic Shocks
• Definition: Sudden disruptions like financial crises, hyperinflation, or severe recessions.
• Trigger: Economic shocks exacerbate existing inequalities, often serving as the immediate cause of revolutionary action.
While no single metric guarantees a revolution, the interplay of these factors creates tipping points. History shows that when economic inequality, political corruption, and social discontent align, they often ignite transformative movements.
When the fight begins the rich will be huddled in the draft dodging traitors shelter with the tough guy himself the Diaper King all crying for help, when the American people bring back the French Revolution to rid the world of the oligarchy filth.

My sentiments exactly. And Americans are celebrating.

Kamala would have had here ceremonial outside.

Any time I'm running across pictures of MD FELON 47 I hide the post. Don't want to see it
I am SO sad for America right now.
So, 31% are clueless and 36% don’t care.

Trump to sign executive order to rename Gulf of Mexico, Denali https://l.smartnews.com/p-igVCNCP/fHwG1n
Senile men do senile things……
We saw it happening and did nothing
🤮💩
Excellent. Remember what Sergeant Horvath said: one man is a waste of ammo; five are a juicy opportunity
Which one did first lady Elonia bring?
Thank you Lynda, I needed a good laugh!
