Morning, all

The 45th person elected POTUS, Donald Trump had three balls this Inauguration weekend - progress of sorts as Hitler had only one ball...

And Melania wore her special hat to her hubby's second inauguration as #POTUS - forget Border Control, you have to maintain your boundaries, with the extra-wide-brim anti-spousal-kiss face-guard:

The Man Who Sold The World [and Bought the White House]

"We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend

Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long, long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here
We must have died alone
A long, long time ago

Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world"

David Bowie, 1970.

The Ballad of the Little Man

"He was doing fine in '39
Thank God he did not win
He kept playing on his fiddle
As he watched old Rome cave in
He sold love away from his children's hearts
And told them it was sin
Now we're all at the mercy, we're all at the mercy
Of that little man within

Now he's sitting in the gardens
As the acid rain comes in
He got it covered full of rhino heads
And boots of leopard skin
He got the means, he make the harvest high
But you can count those hungry people die
We're all at the mercy
Of the greedy man within

So if you're feeling lonely, baby
If you're feeling blue
If you listen to your little friend
You know he'll tell you what to do
But if you hear his words and you get confused
Start believing they're all true
Then you have just been fooled again
Who said we won't get fooled again?
By the little man within"

- #KarlWallinger, #WorldParty, 1986

All Who ware wondering what #trump might bring us with a scientific mind

Please do read "The collapse of complex society". On how complex society is superior to #tribalism and has been invented a few times in human history.
It also has stopped to exist a number of times. And thats where it becomes interesting.

Continued thread

Chris Hayes/MSNBC: After Trump's arrived and an exchange of gifts have been made at the traditional bipartisan Inaugural Luncheon, the media will - untraditionally - be kicked out & the remainder of the luncheon will happen behind closed doors.

Typical Trump/#GOP - the performative stuff for public consumption, the real stuff hidden from view.
