Howthefuckmuch taxpayer $$ is this going to cost?

Edit-
The flyovers will not add to the cost of the inaugural events, Davis said. Friday’s events will serve as training for the pilots, who are required to fly a set number of hours each month “to maintain proficiency.”

Yeah no. That isnt even close to accurate. There is training time required to set this up. Mav and Goose just dont jump into the bird, fire it up and fly over D.C to cure the Dumpsters ED. There are fuel costs and support troops to enable the zipper suited sun gods to do their thing, and not all of those personnel and AC are in the DC area. This is a clusterfuck dumpster fire waiting to happen...FSM forbid there is a incident with one of the planes...

Thunderbirds did a flyover at the Air Force academy where Obama gave the commencement speech. One of the planes ran out of fuel and crashed. My dad blames Obama because he talked too long, on purpose, to crash airplanes, because he hates the military.

I'm just surprised he hasn't tapped Sarah Palin for a cabinet position. (I wouldn't be surprised if he's tapped her in other positions, because they're both idiots and therefore would probably enjoy the others' company.)

Let the non-Texas historical texts show that we have officially entered into the Age of Ignorance, a blissful period in history where neither fact nor data have any relevance or grounds.

Funnily enough I looked at the clock a short while ago, realized it was after midday on the right coast and I had that feeling.

Donald Trump becomes president. This is a sickening event...a tragedy for America and the world, and a victory for hatefulness, racism, misogyny, and authoritarianism.

Tomorrow we say farewell to the first African-American President —a man of decency, integrity, and dignity — and turn the national reigns over to a thin-skinned, vindictive, impulsive, sociopath...a conman and bully who is ignorant about democracy and disdainful of its basic institutions. He lies constantly. He has cheated his customers, investors, and contractors. His countless tweets and stream-of-consciousness statements at his rallies reveal a nasty, greedy, mendacious, bigoted human being, with a level of egotism and narcissism rare even among politicians and celebrities.

Trump fueled his campaign with the sense of dispossession and anxiety found among millions of voters—most of them white – many...voted for him because they thought he would carry their resentments and fury to the nation’s capital, and make our political economic system work for them instead of the privileged few. Some say Trump rose on racism. But racism has been with us since the founding of the nation. Trump rose on downward mobility and economic fears, which allowed him to exploit racism and as well as fears of foreigners and Mexican immigrants, Islamophobia, and the rest of his hateful arsenal.

Trump is the ultimate price our political establishment pays for doing almost nothing to improve the plight of the bottom 60 percent of Americans for over thirty years.

As David Remnick has written, the most hopeful way to look at this grievous event is that it and its consequences in coming years “will be a test of the strength, or the fragility, of American institutions. It will be a test of our seriousness and resolve.”

Every decent American...must now commit herself or himself to combating Trump’s authoritarianism, calling out his lies, protecting the weak and vulnerable among us, keeping hope alive, and preserving what we can of what is best about America.

"At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America..."

Great. Back to the days of "My country, right or wrong..." We are so fucked. National Socialism, here we come. I wish my parents were still alive so I could turn their subversive asses in to the new security service that is sure to arise soon. How dare they raise a family of Liberals!

Now, it will be interesting to see if any more tweets appear. When Obama was here in Alaska with Bear Grylls, he mentioned that the Secret Service doesn't let him have a smart-phone for reasons of national security, so he did not have one and did not use one at the time. If there is any hope left, the SS has confiscated that MoFos cell phone.
