Great so far. He just gave a speech of unity and inclusiveness where he promised to be President of all Americans. I haven't heard that in the last 8 years after I voted for Obama. Instead I heard how I was unaware of my inherent bias, how I was privileged and deplorable. It's nice to be acknowledged with all my fellow Americans again.

Does unifying all America include closing the mosques, or was that just a suggestion?

Depends on whether or not they are working with our sworn enemies to radicalize homegrown terrorists. I'm in favor of closing any religious organization that moves away from merely practicing their religion and engages in illegal and terrorist activities against innocent Americans regardless of whether it is Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, etc. My question to you is why you would desire to allow a cancer like that to fester?

It's from the gas station down the street.

I think I'd avoid that place
Average in Los Angeles is $3.08. Some places are higher.

I'm in Beverly Hills which is very high. I go a few blocks to the low rent LA district.

Bel Air is way down, like $2.50.

Today's average gas prices for the U.S., California and Los Angeles
That site was last updated in October. They used the same source I used earlier in this topic, except mine was updated today.

Here're gas prices in California as of today:

Silly me. When the Bill of Rights were added to the constitution, I assumed that it protected the right of every American Citizen to worship freely in this country. I had no idea that it only meant freedom to worship in religions approved by the government....
 
Hard to find eight year old U6 data

You are welcome to post it

U6 Unemployment Rate | Portal Seven

Doesn't look so hot under Obama...must have made it more difficult to find. :eusa_whistle:

Dropping six percent is pretty hot

How much will Trump drop U6 unemployment?

I will keep track

After eight years it is still higher than it was for the majority of the Bush's eight years. We could have done so much better had we had better leadership.

The majority? How convenient.

Trump is a president who assumes office with unemployment going down and GDP and incomes going up. That doesn't happen very often.

Let's hope he can build on what Obama has done.
 
Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans and people of the world: Thank you.

We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people.

Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come.

We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.

Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.

Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the American People.

For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.

Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth.

Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed.

The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.

Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.

That all changes – starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.

It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America.

This is your day. This is your celebration.

And this, the United States of America, is your country.

What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.

January 20th 2017 will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.

The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

Everyone is listening to you now.

You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before.

At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens.

Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families and good jobs for themselves.

These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public.

But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

We are one nation – and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home and one glorious destiny.

The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.

For many decades, we’ve enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry;

Subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military;

We've defended other nation’s borders while refusing to defend our own;

And spent trillions of dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay.

We’ve made other countries rich while the wealth, strength and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon.

One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind.

The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world.

But that is the past. And now we are looking only to the future.

We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital and in every hall of power.

From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.

From this moment on, it’s going to be America First.

Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families.

We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs. Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.

I will fight for you with every breath in my body – and I will never, ever let you down.

America will start winning again, winning like never before.

We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth. And we will bring back our dreams.

We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.

We will get our people off of welfare and back to work – rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.

We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and Hire American.

We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world – but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.

We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow.

We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones – and unite the civilized world against Radical Islamic Terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.

At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.

When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.

The Bible tells us, “how good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.”

We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.

When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.

There should be no fear – we are protected, and we will always be protected.

We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God.

Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.

In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving.

We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action – constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.

The time for empty talk is over.

Now arrives the hour of action.

Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.

We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.

We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.

A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights and heal our divisions.

It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: That whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag.

And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Creator.

So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words:

You will never be ignored again.

Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams, will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.

Together, We Will Make America Strong Again.

We Will Make America Wealthy Again.

We Will Make America Proud Again.

We Will Make America Safe Again.

And, Yes, Together, We Will Make America Great Again. Thank you, God Bless You, And God Bless America.

If you really want to be helpful, you can go back in and highlight the lines where he hated on women, Hispanics, blacks, gays, etc. and praised white supremacy. That will make it more convenient to pick out the fascism. Thank you in advance.

Say three "Hail Stalins" and light a candle to Karl Marx.

Don't let it happen again. And don't do any independent thinking if you know what's good for you

Trump wanted the job more than Clinton did. He worked ten times harder for it than she did. The Democrats convinced themselves Clinton was going to win so big they didn't need to bother to vote.

Clinton didn't even give Wisconsin voters the time of day. She didn't campaign there even once after securing the nomination.

That's why I say to the "Not My President!" protesters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, or Wisconsin who didn't vote (and most of them didn't), they should each be wearing a dunce cap with RETARD in big, bright, bold letters on it.
 
Bush was handed a booming economy and a balanced budget. He handed off an economy toppling into the abyss, three wars, and a $10 trillion debt.

What was that you were saying about better leadership?

What I'm saying is, historically, after a recession, there should be massive growth. Did that happen? No.

In fact Obama was the first president in modern history not to have a single year of 3% GDP growth.

That's a fact. Either it is a result of Obama's leadership, or a systemic problem with our economy. I suspect a combination of the two.

The stock market is at an all time high. Chances are we are due for a recalibration there...because Wall St doesn't match Main St and hasn't for a long time. If Trump can reinvigorate the Main St. economy, perhaps we can avoid another recession. And that is what he has been working toward so far.

Gas prices...Obama's policies should have raised them...only American shale oil (which Obama opposes) and the Saudis efforts to bankrupt it have suppressed oil prices.

It's funny how pseudocons conveniently forget Bush left our economy completely in the shitter.

"Yeahbut he had 3 percent once!"

The reason we do not have "massive growth" is because of the massive public and private debt.

Trump's tax plan will add up to another $10 trillion to our debt.

Out of all 19 candidates, Trump's debt was second only to Bernie Sanders.

It's fucking weird. They actually forgot how bad it was. We were a few days away from having no money in the fucking ATM's.

I will be celebrating my 10th year in business next year. I started the business because the company I worked for ( which had been in business since the 1920's ) couldn't maintain in Bush's economy. Sales just weren't there.

Are you purposely stupid or do you have a disability? Engaging in illegal and terrorist actions is not WORSHIP. There are some splendid dictionaries online that you can access to help understand the difference.

And THAT is why you lost.

It was NOT candidate against candidate. That is juvenile

It was party against party.

We could have run almost anybody and beat the crap out of almost anybody on the dimocrap side.

I called that, IN HERE, Months and Months ago.

People are tired of your bullshit. Just that simple.

Had an establishment Republican run -- Somebody like a Scott Walker, but one that could speak in public without freezing like a kid on a stage, we would have beaten dimocraps by 20 points..... Easy

You conveniently forget that the ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN PARTY hated Trump.

Even FNC HATED TRUMP. The panel on Brett Baier's program, Krauthammer, George the phony punk Will, the guy from National review...... ALL of them HATED Trump.

MeAgain Kelly and Trump almost go into a shoving match. The only one that supported him was Hannity.

You simplify your loss. To your detriment
