Fascinating (if you have the time to read it)

Is there anything Trump does that can't be mocked?

i hope hilary clinton is forced to sit there tomorrow, eyes propped open a la clockwork orange, and watch what she's done to the world

Like winning the election by 3 million votes you mean?

Chas 'n Dave turned it down, said the gig was too parochial.

Surely winning an irrelevant metric by 3 million votes. It's like a football manager saying they've won because they had the most possession but didn't score as many goals.

I don't think I've heard of anyone on that Trump list. Or is it just me?

Tired argument is tired.

The Democrats do have questions to answer- their play included elevating trump as the opposition candidate and it backfired massively.

If you haven't heard of Sam & Dave, you have some amazing records yet to discover.

It's still a crap line up, overall. As if Trump hasn't done enough already, there's nothing worse than a festival with a rubbish lineup. I bet the two best bands are on at the same time too.

Related, you know that feeling when you get a job then realise you might be in over your head?

Only 1 hour and 52 minutes to go before Trump gets sworn in.

Looking forward to his speech at 5pm. Hoping he ad libs.

Republic of Ireland people have already disowned him :)

MO not impressed at the present of over-priced Tiffany tat from Melania

The choir look glum at the inauguration. Could swear I saw @fox and mrak singing out of harmony.

Ha ha. I'm sure if we were there we'd look glum!

Sort of can't believe this is really happening. Nobody at work in the U.S. is replying to my emails, they're clearly all watching the car crash.

This speech is balls. Not even the good type of balls.

I liked how the people in the background have been wandering around as if they're not bothered by what he's saying (although presumably they were getting umbrellas after the heavens opened the moment he was sworn in).

he just said "we wont impose our will or way of life on anyone" and then immediately after "we will destroy radical islam" and then "we will not treat anyone with prejudice".

Don't worry, God will save them
