The (Second) Inauguration of Donald J. Trump... from a Living Room in Cleveland

Writer's picture: Fred Fred

I had the inauguration on in the background, working on a separate Beacon of Speech article, when I noticed Lauren Sanchez taking selfies along the perimeter of the screen. She is the definition of a gold-digger.


Billionaires and scumbag politicians from both sides of the aisle, putting on their Sunday Best and preening for the cameras.


Barack Obama walked into the room to a smattering of boos. Even low-rent Fred Hunt wouldn't boo Obama on Inauguration Day. Michelle Obama had the right idea in no-showing.


As Donald Trump walked in, the camera focused on Elon Musk. Musk saw the camera and gave it a serious profile angle....


I can't watch this. When did politics become a game show?




 

That's it. What do you want from me?


How about this. I am turning off the TV and playing songs on YouTube:


Top 10 Songs from January 20, 2025


Life in a Northern Town by the Dream Academy



At my day job, school was cancelled for the next 2 days due to the extreme cold weather. It is so cold the inauguration had to be moved indoors. Even in Cleveland, we are not used to -10 degree weather.


Hang on Sloopy by the McCoys



Both my Uncle and Grandfather are Ohio State Alumni. I will be rooting for OSU in the National Championship Game tonight against Notre Dame. Many consider this Ohio State's Theme Song.


Cult of Personality by Living Colour



Today is MLK Day. We respect the King here at Beacon of Speech, but chose a song with an opening sound bite from Malcom X.


By the Time I Get to Arizona by Public Enemy



A more in-your-face take on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. My favorite lyric?

Neither party is mine, not the jackass or the elephant


Open Letter to a Landlord by Living Colour



While many in my family went to Ohio State, I went to Cleveland State. I always thought of this as my Cleveland State Theme Song.


Gitarzan by Ray Stevens



Big Chuck Schodowski, local TV legend, died this morning at age 90. This was probably one of his best-known skits.


Trapped Under Ice by Metallica



Wow! I just shoveled the sidewalk for the mailman. It's not Dream Academy Cold, it's Metallica Cold!


Nazi Trump F--- Off by Dead Cross + Jello Biafra



Yes, this exists. As a libertarian-leaning website, I looked for an Anti-Biden Song to even things out.


Rooster by Alice in Chains



That's the funny thing about the media. Donald Trump's Vietnam deferments were all over-reported during his first term. Joe Biden's half dozen draft deferments were barely mentioned during his. I couldn't find a specific anti-Biden song. This song is about songwriter Jerry Cantrall's Dad, who did go to Vietnam.


Gold Digger by Kanye



The article has come full circle...for Lauren.
