Inauguration in Ghost Town
RealClearPolitics ^ | 1/20/2021 | Phillip Wegmann

Posted on 01/21/2021 11:15:08 AM PST by Onthebrink

Two weeks to the day after a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to prevent Congress and the Electoral College from doing their duty, the Trump era came to a close when Joseph R. Biden Jr. took the oath of office as the 46th U.S. president. “We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal,” the new president said. “We can do this if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts.”

The message was great. All the pundits said so. But other than the media, assorted members of government and Lady Gaga, who belted out the National Anthem into a golden microphone and wore a giant broach that looked like something out of “The Hunger Games,” no one listened.

As void of life as the leftist brain is void of virtue.

"Two weeks to the day after a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol"

Typical deep-state propaganda spin.

Let's try

"Two weeks after a group of citizens attempted to approach their elected representatives to exercise their Constitutional right to Petition for Redress of Grievances"

Congress shall make no law respecting ... the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
First Amendment, Bill of Rights.

We should start referring to D.C. as “The Forbidden City”.

TO THE TUNE OF “AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL”

Oh tragic is our darkening sky,
And now we feel the pain,
The Marxists they did steal the vote
And did the White House gain!
America! America!
Old Satan had his way
The bastards won, now we are done,
Now go enjoy your day.

Oh feckless is the GOP
Who let this farce unfold
Americans shall quickly see
A foe grown far more bold
America! America!
The worst is yet to come,
We’re just another Marxist state,
But quite a juicy plum.

Our heroes did not die for this.
They’re rolling in their graves
Upon which we just took a piss
Thank God that Jesus saves.
America, America!
We’ve paved the road to Hell,
And now we know that Jokin’ Joe,
Will wind up down below.

Hidin’s inauguration was shaping up to be the least-attended POTUS inauguration in modern history.

Something was going to have to be done to eliminate the possibility of photographs taken of a thinly-attended Hidin inauguration being compared unfavorably with photographs taken of Trump’s inauguration.

Hence the nonsensical military invasion of the nation’s capital.

"Seems our wonderful W and Laura were there to witness this farce."

George W. Bush is a traitor and the leader of the Bush Crime Family which will never give up control of the GOP because it is the source of their wealth and power. In order to keep control of the GOP the Bush/GOP leadership participated in this four year long coup with the Democratic Party against President Trump and America. This is why That is why Americans need to abandon the GOP because it will never work for their interests.

Here is W with his fellow conspirators:

W lovin' on Michelle:

W lovin' on Bill:

W in threesome with the Obama's:

She was dressed appropriately for the event.

If your bad in this life, you’ll come back as either W’s septum, or Bill Clinton’s foreskin.
