How many protesters were arrested at Obama inaugurations?
I can't believe all of the Trump supporters were so violent today. Those libs were right to be so frightened. 219 arrests so far. Oh wait....no... it was the liberals that got violent. This again is one of the reasons Trump won. A good part of the country is sick of the bullshit holier than thou left and biased MSM.
Pot Kettle black Breitfart/Infowhores/Faux News sheeple. Not tolerating your intolerance isn't intolerance. Facts have a left of Breitbart/Trump bias. Deal with it, beta snowflake.
No matter what today's demonstrations here & around the world have to really irk president Bafoon , it's a strong message that he won't be able to just brush aside !
The boycotts of the inaugural by politicians is ridiculous. All we heard about during the campaign was how precious our democracy is and how elections should be honored. Now, when there is a peaceful transition of power between unrelated people (which was a crazy idea back in the 1700's), the Dems are boycotting. I thought they loved their country and democracy. Maybe it was all just a partisan game after all? I get that they think Trump is an idiot.
It's still peaceful. I don't see the problem.
They are boycotting because they don''t view the election as legit. That is exactly what the Dems were crying about during the last few weeks of the election.
They don't view it legit based on the briefing presented to them by intelligence community !
Again, the hypocrisy of the left criticizing Trump for giving a wait and see answer during the debate when the libs should have said the same thing based on what they are doing now.
how is it hypcrisy? no one in their right mind believed there would be "rigging". trump didn't even know. it was a lucky guess borne of paranoia and extreme narcicism.
Tell me then, what is wrong with saying that you will evaluate the election results after they happen? How stupid is it that the Republicans signed a pledge to support the eventual nominee and then had to back off the pledge when Trump won the nomination?
I don't think it makes sense to made decisions on hypotheticals. I think Jeb Bush should be able to say, "I will decide to support the Republican candidate (if not me) when the Republican candidate wins the nomination." Why can't Trump say, "I will determine whether to challenge the election when there is an election that can be challenged". But instead, the media forces candidates into positions they cannot possibly make a decision on currently.
And by the way, Trump's answer was completely, utterly correct (which doesn't happen much) as borne out by actual events.
let's take a look at who we are talking about. This man has mocked and ridiculed almost every minority group out there. He's got hands that somehow randomly end up on women's genitals. And of course he was put it into office partly at least by the Russians.
Patriotism means loving your country enough to not be afraid of being called unpatriotic for voicing your concerns. Its not just about reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and shooting fireworks on the 4th.
There is clearly something wrong with Trump. no self control. easily lured by beautiful eastern European women in particular. He is weak.
The inauguration speech wasn't anything special it was more like a rally speech. Nothing in there was bad at all. However there was mention of something Obama would never say. President Trump now officially calls it Radical Islamic Terrorism.
And what does that change? Absolutely nothing.
heres something Obama would never say either: Fuck you Trump.

I don't care if you call it the Teddy Bear Parade of Bombers. This divisive naming convention doesn't get anyone an inch closer to solving the problem, yet it produces fear and perpetuates hatred.
its silly. now he can claim he solved a problem that Obama never did. Heres an excerpt from an Obama town hall, 9-28-16. His answer is exceptionally eloquent and spot on.
Trumps nominee for sec of education just embarassed herself quite handily. Not only does she hold no opinion on the debate between growth and proficiency., she didnt KNOW WHAT THEY ARE. and ghw bush's sec of ed just called her "the enemy of public education".
Jesus fucking christ.
i just watched that segment. I'll have to admit, I never heard of the debate between growth and proficiency myself. I'm still a little unclear as to the difference, but I'm guessing i'll know soon.
I suppose anyone in the education field is supposed to know this?
A shot in the dark: proficiency represents how much of a subject matter a student becomes before moving on to the next subject matter, growth represents the breadth of subject matters covered in a curriculum. If time is your exclusive variable, more time can go into fewer topics (more time per subject matter, favouring proficiency), or more topics can be covered (fewer time per subject matter, favouring growth). Even if she didn't know these terms' true meaning, wouldn't she have been better off to look at the simply defined words and apply them to study to see if she could figure them out? From there, you could easily make a solid-sounding statement:
If growth and proficiency are the only two outputs and time is too finite, education should focus on imploring youth to be self-seekers of knowledge. Today, the world is ripe with freely available information, and in an era with such availability, it's a tragedy not to capitalize on that for our most malleable minds.
My proposal is to focus on proficiency, and to re-audit what skills of today, and of tomorrow, are timely and relevant as subjects to thoroughly teach. Beyond that, we need to work on showing not just the value in education, but also ensuring immediate non-audited rewards for the general act of learning on one's own are provided. This may mean encouragement from teachers, extracurricular opportunities in more segments of America, incentives for self-study, all rolled up into a formal program delivered and marketed in ways appealing to youth in an environment producing sensory overload as we see today.
It's not enough to have subject matter experts in adult Americans, if they lack the will, tools, persistence, and keen interest in pursuing lifelong educations.
Wouldn't that have sounded better? Now I'm going to look up the growth vs proficiency debate.
Edit, I was wrong about growth, was more to do with personal growth!
nice shot in the dark, although a bit off. I'll at least say that you are proficient in the art of bullshit (and eloquent writing).
Seriously though, I have mixed feelings about the self learning model. I suppose it has to do with the kind of student I was in school. Some things came easy in grade school and it made me a bit lazy/arrogant when I got to college. I didn't really get to be a good student and self learner until graduate school. so, it's possible i'd be living on the streets right now if you were to throw me into a self learning environment at that young of an age. who knows though...if the expectations are different, than maybe the students rise to those expectations.
Thanks for the backhanded compliment, vaggar You're right in this case, I don't want to partake in the art of bullshit and that's exactly what I did, so I'm going to watch myself on that front (even though I did preface my post with the disclaimer that it's a shot in the dark). On that topic, there was a great article I read called "Why bullshit is no laughing matter", and it's really worth reading if you're interested (https://aeon.co/ideas/why-bullshit-is-no-laughing-matter).
I totally understand where you're coming from regarding the lazy/arrogant nature at college - I was the exact same. I regularly received high grades in anything Math and Physics related, and same with English courses. When I started my undergraduate in Engineering, I definitely had to learn about self-learning very quickly in order to succeed.. Winging Engineering Calculus wasn't exactly possible anymore (though my writing abilities were substantially better than many of my peers). I guess my point is that society as a whole hasn't done the greatest job of teaching the value of learning itself - the focus is on the topic at hand, rather than the sale of learning as an asset. Something about the "because you have to" argument doesn't really click for many young people (myself included), but if learning itself was pushed as a gratifying/rewarding experience, it'd be much easier to sell. For example, on this forum, I love reading all these varied opinions which make me want to think critically, research, learn more, ask more, discover more. Discovery really gets my adrenaline going, but maybe that wouldn't be the case for someone less curious.
ah, an engineer. see i knew we were brothers from another mother.
i'd say the structure of the grade school environment provided an adequate safety net that kept me from straying into destructive behaviors. The college environment, however, did not provide that safety net and that's when things went awry for me. I came out okay, but with a few regrets, mainly that I didn't try hard enough particularly in the first couple years. The thing is I was probably still trying harder than 2/3 of my peers. Now i'm left thinking that although the university environment is a lot of fun, it's also incredibly inefficient and costly.
I agree that learning is not given value in society. I see this all the time. I understand where it comes from. It takes a certain motivation to realize that you are going to be taken out of your comfort zone for a while and that your brain will probably be fatigued in the process. It's the same as exercise. Its gonna be painful while going through it, but the rewards are great. it gets to be addicting after a while, but the 'addiction' can easily slip into fad status if one is not vigilant.
And yes, I enjoy reading the well thought and even not so well thought out opinions on this form. Its definitely a different dynamic than social media
Today's ceremony however, has very special meaning, because today, we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, DC, and giving it back to you, the people. For too long, [those in politics] have reaped the rewards of government while people have borne the cost. Washington flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered, but the jobs left and the factories closed . The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country. Their victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs have not been your triumphs and while they celebrated in our nation's capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.
That all changes starting right here and right now, because this moment is your moment. It belongs to you. It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America. This is your day. This is your celebration. And this, the United States of America, is your country. Because what truly matters is not what truly controls our government but whether our government is controlled by the people. January 20, 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.
At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction, that a nation exists to serve ITS citizens. Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves. These are just and reasonable demands of righteous people and a righteous public. But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists. Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities , rusted-out factories, scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation , an education system flush with cash but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge
Meanwhile every product Trump has sold the last 30 years was made overseas... Ivanka Trumps entire clothing line is currently mAde in Asia... and this prick hasn't paid taxes in decades which means he hasn't paid a dime in helping America or its citizens
Reviews? He is arguably the most powerful man on the planet and he is worried about reviews of his (quite terrible) speech? What an absolute psychopathic narcissist.
Just spit it out shithead... he hates fags and people of colour (except for orange people) ... and you do too! Be proud of yer bucktoothed, backwater, shitkicking ways. Don't shamefully suppress your perspective- even if you know it's shitty.
This is funny. Let me ask you: should I keep the Twitter going?” he asked a cheering crowd of supporters before dancing with his wife, Melania, to My Way at the second of three inaugural balls. “The enemies keep saying: ‘Oh that’s terrible,’ but it’s a way of bypassing dishonest media"
Spicer press briefing was all about crowd sizes and inaccurate news reporting this is what this administration is worried about ! lol Bafoon is so insecure lol man .

Poor little Donald, nobody likes him
The silent majority was watching indoors in the comfort of their homes.
As for the latest tweet,
A fantastic day and evening in Washington D.C.Thank you to @FoxNews and so many other news outlets for the GREAT reviews of the speech! https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/822774162011910144

Well, do you?
Elimination of minimum vehicle mileage standards, that's what!
Make America great again along with the incandescent light bulb!

the new president also signed into law a new national day of patriotism and signalled plans to build a new missile defence system to protect against perceived threats from Iran and North Korea.

Hats at his inauguration party made in China. Hope he paid that huge tax on them for sending labor across the border.

I should have done more research.
In more recent news, less than 36 hours into his presidency, Trump is tackling the issues that matter.
Sounds about right.
