ParticipantRequested the day off a few weeks ago, but definitely not watching. The Jan. 20, 2017, schedule of events is roughly as follows (all times Pacific):
0900 – get some health care!
1030 – cheerfully comply with environmental regulations by getting my car smogged
1300 – see “Hidden Figures” or “Moonlight” depending on walking and/or flooding conditions at respective theaters
1530 – get some continuing education via the internet and thanks to my employer’s tuition reimbursement policy
1750 – a sensible meal for dinner
I’m aiming for a day of self-edifying productivity.

GuestI’m not watching… working on a remodel and got a little break.
I will watch the evening news later because I don’t want to be out of touch.I’m not moping…. i simply have written off the deplorables. You can only show care and concern for substance abusers for so long. Deplorables are like that. Then you have to walk away and let them be. I hope they can eat the prosperity gospel.
At this point, i only care about my diverse cosmopolitan areas. Maybe Trump will spend $1 trillion on airports and trains I will use. I will never visit the rust belt, so I don’t care.
Maybe Trump’s casino buddies will build an elevated train from the airport to the Strip in Vegas. I would like that.I am done with intellectual honesty and wanting the best for the aggregate. Like free marketers like to say, individual greed and selfishness result in the greater good. Let’s all be greedy. They won.

GuestHaving lunch now. Was driving earlier and heard some commentary on NPR.
I need to watch the speech later to know what the hell he said.I’m waiting to see what the America First agenda is.

Participant“America First” is an unfortunate term considering it was used by actual Nazi sympathizers in the 30s.

GuestGreat speech, echoing great leaders of the past. Here’s a short highlight … less than a minute but says so much:

I don’t think Trump supporters care.
I didn’t listen to the speech yet, but some commentators said that it’s a break from the idea that what’s good for America is good for the rest of the world and nice versa.

Participantone can watch the full “speech” on RT aka “russia today”
FWIW remember the little item that made the news about alleged Trump activities in Moscow…

well if you read the source material, an interesting quote appears:
[quote]
COMPANY INTELLIGENCE REPORT 2016/080a senior Russian financial official said the TRUMP operation should be seen in terms of PUTlN’s desire to return to Nineteenth Century ‘Great Power’ politics anchored upon countries’ interests rather than the ideals-based international order established after World War Two
[/quote]which FYI is Department K of the FSB based in Lubyanka and its task is “counter intelligence in financial services” in other words “Economic Warfare”
russia like china are cultures w/ a long history (much longer than two hundred fifty years the USA has been around) and their people have a long memory and play the long game, sadly here in the USA the majority of thinking is short term like in what are the earning next quarter, what is the latest fashion fad, etc.
if people in this country want to hold its position of leadership for another 250 years or longer, its important to start thinking how to play for the long haul

Is that why we have reversion to protectionism, so we can have wars like we had in the past?
Humanity has moved beyond nationalism… we need to lift the whole of humanity. You should read some George Soros.
