WASHINGTON, D.C. – There was no riot, but plenty of Oligarchs danced, as Donald Trump once again assumed the reins of power in America as he was sworn-in as the 47th President of the United States today.
The rich, famous, and powerful gathered in the nation’s capitol on Monday for inauguration ceremonies to observe the transfer of power from Democrat Joe Biden to Republican Donald Trump. Trump was sworn-in without his hand on the Bible, then set about railing on the January 6 Select Committee that soiled his already battered image as an insurrectionist, possible sexual assaulter, felon, and fraudster. His Vice President JD Vance also was sworn-in; he placed his hand on the Bible during the ceremony. Trump valiantly declared, “America’s decline is over” as folks refreshed their shopping carts, praying that the price of eggs would plummet.
Iowa’s elite were there, including the entire Congressional delegation.

Charles Grassley was on hand, beaming with glee as he Trump took office. He reported that the Senate unanimously approved (99-0) Marco Rubio as the next Secretary of State, poised to impose Trump’s world vision. Russia, a rogue, terrorist “nation” that is at war with the West in the battlefield known as Ukraine, today issued a statement as Trump celebrated: “We are open to dialogue with the new US Administration regarding the Ukrainian conflict. The dialogue’s objective should be not a temporary ceasefire or a pause, but rather a lasting peace.” Rubio will have to deal with the Russians, who almost always lie, and may other enemies.
Rep. Ashley Hinson railed on the exiting Joe Biden, ripped his “green new deal policies” and she proclaimed Trump was “declaring a national energy emergency so his admin can use all necessary resources to unleash American energy IMMEDIATELY.” She didn’t talk specifics, but American oil production is already at all-time highs.
Senator Joni Ernst announced “The nightmare is ending!” Then, she reported “that Nearly 9 years after Iowan Sarah Root was killed by an illegal immigrant, the Senate has passed my Sarah’s Law as an amendment to the Laken Riley Act.” Sarah’s Law ensures that we detain and prosecute illegal immigrants who harm or kill Americans.
Meanwhile, official Oligarch Elon Musk triumphantly exclaimed, “This is what victory feels like!” He danced and pranced and laughed and made strange facial expressions that are under endless examination by the press. He realizes he will likely now save himself billions in tax bills. He was so overcome with emotion during a speech, he gave what appeared to be an emotional Nazi salute, his right arm extended high in the air, in front of his face. He has a government position in rooting out waste.
Trump, convicted felon x 34, is ready to unleash raids in “blue cities” like Chicago, looking for “illegals” to deport. He wants to rid America of millions of these people. He also declared that there are now, officially, only two genders recognized in the United States, so anyone confused about theirs will likely need to consult their birth certificate for clarification.
Among Trump’s instant activities today as President, he immediately withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. Iran, Libya, Yemen and the United States are now the only countries in the world not in the agreement.

I wonder why he didn’t put his hand on the Bible.
He does not intend to follow the constitution as in his previous administration.
We already knew that. By not putting his hand on the Bible, isn’t he saying he isn’t bound by the rules? Just like the real President giving the Nazi salute at one of the inauguration celebrations.
