    I see that Trump had Mark Milley's official portrait taken down from the Pentagon walls. How dare he.

    He also dismissed the Commandant of the US Coast Guard, Admiral Fagan.

    Fagan was the first female uniformed leader of a US armed forces branch.

    ...

    Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, has said publicly that “any General, Admiral, whatever that was involved in any of the DEI woke sh*t has got to go.”

    He is marking his territory in a big way, and so far, it really stinks.

    Iris! Here’s hoping a major figure in his ear preaches free speech to him even speech that is anti-Donald.
    I have the feeling that media political bias isn't going away. Donald is the king of disinformation and good at it so the pendulum will probably swing the other way, now.

    I see where Judge Cannon has stopped the release of the report on Trumps secret document case. Hiding some truth? Censorship?

    I thought it was interesting that Trump and Biden seemed to have a cordial tea before the inauguration as part of the tradition, then Biden sat silent and motionless during Trump's berating of the false claim that our country has been driven into decline. Without mentioning names, it was pretty obvious to me. Biden looked diminished along side the other former presidents who were looking pretty robust. Even Clinton had some color in his cheek and a spring to his step.

    I guess it's a great time to be a cis white straight male in this country.

    I agree. Personally, I don't believe in "my country, love it or leave it." That's giving up. This is my home.

    Better, perhaps, to think (and act) on "My country, love it -- or change it."

    Let's keep in mind that half our nation didn't vote for the new president. That's a large community of kindred folks to align ourselves with. Let's see if our new leader does enact policies that lower prices and makes life better for other than the uber-rich. A lot of promises were made...how many will be kept? And I hope his voters will keep track, too...
    peaceful, easy feeling
