Baz Dane Posted January 20, 2017 #276 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Here's Trump's speech with some quotes below... - "Today's ceremony however, has very special meaning, because today, we're not merely transferring power from one administration to another, or form one party to another, but we are transferring power from Wahsington D.C. and giving it to you... THE PEOPLE" (Trump's emphasis) - "For too long, a small group in our nation's capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the costs. Washington flourished, but the people did not share in it's wealth. Politicians prospered, but the jobs left and the factories closed. The Establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country..." - "For many decades, we've enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry, subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military, we've defended other nation's borders while refusing to defend out own... and spent, trillions and trillions of dollars overseas while America's infastructure has fallen into disrepair and dekay. We've made other countries rich while the wealth, strentgh and confidence of our country has dissapated over the horizon..." - "But that is the past and now we are only looking to the future..." (camera's cut to a non-clapping Obama who looks like he was just called out... because he was ... that was a total highlight for me ) - "We will reinforce old alliances, and form new ones and unite the civilized world against Radical Islamic Terrorism, which we eradictae completely from the face of the earth." - "We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action constantly complaining but never doing anything about it." Excellent speech, and I especially LOVED the smack-down to the "small group" that "reaped the rewards" while the general public got shafted! Like he said, time for action. Let's see it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetpumper Posted January 20, 2017 Author #277 Share Posted January 20, 2017 President Donald Trump’s inaugural address made history in being the first to use a number of words, paramount among them “Islamic” when referring to the threat of international terrorist actors and his plan to eradicate radical Islamic terror groups. “We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate from the face of the Earth,” http://www.breitbart.com/live/inauguration-2017-swearing-president-donald-trump/history-trump-becomes-first-president-use-words-islamic-urban-inaugural-address/ One of the best quotes of the speech. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a bit beyond rational thought processes at this moment. She's also not had any chances to speak anyway, so far. It reminds me of Kristallnacht, the "Night of Broken Glass" in 1938 Germany. The authorities stood by and watched. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristallnacht 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
