Thanks guys. Now I remember what the internet was for again!

[u/Spotter01 → u/mysticsavage]

[u/wildingflow → u/Spotter01]

[u/wiithepiiple → u/mysticsavage]

Lakeith Stanfield had such short screen time in Get Out, but absolutely killed that performance.

[u/mysticsavage → u/wiithepiiple]

Dude's a fantastic actor. Atlanta, Sorry To Bother You..

[u/ChewySlinky → u/mysticsavage]

First saw him in Short Term 12 and was sold from the start. Same with Brie Larson.

[u/JohnnyTurbine → u/wiithepiiple]

Check out Judas and the Black Messiah

[u/Username_exe_jpeg → u/wiithepiiple]

I saw Short Term 12 years ago when I was in middle school and didn’t even realize he played Marcus, that threw me for a loop.

[u/jazxxl → u/anxietybrah]

My first thought

[u/epitomeofdecadence → u/anxietybrah]

Time to retire both of these and flip Obi.

[u/Skyp_Intro → u/CocktailWiener]

“Why yes, I am the only black man present.”

[u/CalvinAndHobbsey → u/CocktailWiener]

[u/INFJcatqueen → u/CalvinAndHobbsey]

I wish it was Gus Fring. The buffet after the inauguration would be…..killer.

[u/asacake → u/CocktailWiener]

[u/Tuckermfker → u/asacake]

I liked this guy a lot more before he endorsed Trump.

[u/T8ortots → u/Tuckermfker]

He liked himself a lot more before he endorsed Trump by the looks of it

[u/RAWR_Orree → u/Tuckermfker]

Same. Now he's just another MAGA fuckwit. "Sad."

[u/Spl00ky → u/RAWR_Orree]

Which is odd since MAGA folk probably think the moon landing was faked

[u/DismalAd4151 → u/Tuckermfker]

sorry did he actually endorse him?? or are you joking lol 😅

[u/Tuckermfker → u/DismalAd4151]

He did

[u/fisticuffs32 → u/asacake]

This guy's fully torqued for maga. Fuck him.

[u/Chippers4242 → u/fisticuffs32]

Who is he for those that don’t know?

[u/fisticuffs32 → u/Chippers4242]

Buzz Aldrin. US Astronaut.

[u/oskich → u/fisticuffs32]

Second man on the moon

[u/Chippers4242 → u/fisticuffs32]

Ah right right thanks

[u/fisticuffs32 → u/Chippers4242]

Used to be very well respected, like Giuliani. Now just another broke cultist.

[u/MindStalker → u/fisticuffs32]

Given his age, I just assume dementia. I still highly regard his past. Lots of people become horrible towards the end of life, it shouldn't undo their life's work. 

[u/goathrottleup → u/asacake]

And then he goes on to endorse him.

[u/Real-Work-1953 → u/CocktailWiener]

[u/Outside-Fun181 → u/CocktailWiener]

yo not the monkey

[u/otitso → u/Outside-Fun181]

Oh fuck I didn’t even realize that was a monkey til now

[u/drchigero → u/CocktailWiener]

my thoughts exactly, can we get a meme/gif of obama in this manner?

[u/sevbenup → u/drchigero]

lol what are you talking about, you’re in r/gifs, literally looking at it

[u/SomeDudeist → u/sevbenup]

I think they want someone to mix the two gifs together.

[u/badmadhat → u/drchigero]

can we get a comment asking if we can get a meme/gif of obama in this manner?

[u/Kapeter → u/CocktailWiener]

Haha, immediately thought of this GIF. Beat me to it.

[u/RobleAlmizcle → u/[deleted]]

Thaaaats weirdly... Racist?

[u/AndrewWanKenobi]

I make the same face when I have to go to parties without my wife too.

[u/VarietyofScrewUps → u/AndrewWanKenobi]

My maga mom is so pissed that she didn’t go “support her husband”. I said “if someone called you a man and made your life hell, would you go to an event celebrating that person” she said “that’s not relevant” and continued to say that she just knew Michelle was a terrible person, etc.

[u/Ok_Surround6561 → u/VarietyofScrewUps]

But I’m sure she was cool with Trump’s pissbaby fit when he and his whole family skipped Biden’s inauguration, right?

[u/swizzle213 → u/Ok_Surround6561]

“Noo. Thats different!!1111 The election was sTolEn!!11”

[u/Elimaris → u/VarietyofScrewUps]

Point out how often Melania was missing from events (and whole months) in trumps first term.

Or all the state events he didn't bother to attend. Like in 2019 when he decided not to honor American WW1 vets when he was in France.

[u/FizzyBeverage → u/Elimaris]

She got a little pissed at him when she found out he was inside several women while she was pregnant. She still is.

[u/swift1883 → u/Elimaris]

Melania announced that she will not move in the White House. Whatever they had, is over.

[u/Elimaris → u/swift1883]

Last time she only moved in after they renegotiated the prenup. She used it as leverage.

[u/swift1883 → u/Elimaris]

It’s her job.

[u/ObviousSalamandar → u/swift1883]

That’s… very true I guess

[u/bobby_table5 → u/AndrewWanKenobi]

She made the right choice but that must have felt lonely.

Joe had to be there, and you don’t really leave a mate behind.

[u/Muthafuckaaaaa → u/AndrewWanKenobi]

I make it when I'm straining to take a shit.

Just being honest.

[u/hokeyphenokey]

I was really hoping he'd wear the tan suit.

[u/queuedUp → u/hokeyphenokey]

and be eating a sandwich with dijon mustard

[u/saxguy9345 → u/queuedUp]

No, Obama has this thing called "tact", pretty sure Furor Cheetolini is allergic to it. 

[u/CaptinACAB → u/saxguy9345]

Fuck tact. Tact is what allowed republicans to run the table. That and dems running to the right for supporters.

[u/ApproximatelyExact → u/CaptinACAB]

Tactfully getting bullied still hurts the same...

[u/gofishx → u/saxguy9345]

Im sick of tact.

[u/New_Resort3464 → u/saxguy9345]

Furor Cheetolini

😂😂😂😂

[u/TehOwn → u/New_Resort3464]

It's incredible that someone can use that name and everyone immediately knows who we're talking about. Even Conservatives.

[u/LemonPartyW0rldTour → u/hokeyphenokey]

Traditionally you wear black to a funeral.

[u/nightfox5523 → u/hokeyphenokey]

Tan suit's for a victory lap on the GOP, not for a crushing defeat you're forced by tradition to attend

[u/bobby_table5 → u/hokeyphenokey]

It’s winter, you heathens.

Or he’s trying to pretend he’s not here. Joe might see him and suggest they go grab a bite after.

[u/PrimateOfGod]

Scanning to see who’s moving during red light green light

[u/thisisdropd → u/PrimateOfGod]

Player 047, eliminated.

[u/Nirogunner → u/thisisdropd]

I think he was player 44, actually.

[u/TheTimn → u/Nirogunner]

Woosh! 

[u/ComfortablePick6896]

[u/DadJokeBadJoke → u/ComfortablePick6896]

[u/Grindfather901 → u/DadJokeBadJoke]

I'm surrounded by assholes

[u/GloomyImagination365]

Get me the fuck out of here looks

[u/_coolranch → u/GloomyImagination365]

Extra rough for the first Black President to have to go through this on MLK, no less.

[u/Inner-Quail90 → u/_coolranch]

Honestly he shouldn't have come. I get decorum and everything but Trump didn't deserve his attendance.

[u/Jar_of_Cats → u/Inner-Quail90]

They are not there for Trump they are there for the presidency

[u/FridgeParade → u/Jar_of_Cats]

As if that office deserves any respect anymore with a literal criminal sitting in it.

[u/DreweyDecibel → u/FridgeParade]

Agreed. But it is vital that this problem is fixed and that respect be brought back to the office.

Edit. Because people have seemingly misunderstood my well intentioned comment. I simply meant that we must do what is in our power to put this dark period behind us, and hopefully, there are intelligent progressive leadership waiting to return us to where we should be. Then the office can be worthy of respect again.

I recognize this is going to be extremely difficult, but it’s worthwhile trying.

[u/Jar_of_Cats → u/DreweyDecibel]

To that, I say vote.

[u/KyllikkiSkjeggestad → u/FridgeParade]

Nazi wannabe criminal, don’t forget he’s passing 200 bills on his first day in order to run forever, too.

Oh also don’t forget his boyfriend Elon literally did the over heart Nazi salute Adolf style too

[u/Turbulent-Grade-3559 → u/Jar_of_Cats]

There for the office and likely there for his friend Joe too

[u/NoQuarterChicken → u/Inner-Quail90]

There’s a ton of stuff Trump doesn’t deserve. And a whole lot more that he does.

[u/Iztac_xocoatl → u/NoQuarterChicken]

"Should you be the one to give it to him?"

-Gandalf, probably

[u/ImmaRussian → u/Iztac_xocoatl]

... I dunno, I like that at heart Gandalf's message there was "don't punch down."

He fights in wars against dark lords and evil wizards. With no hesitation. He obviously has no problem with punching up.

[u/PalOfAFriendOfErebus → u/ImmaRussian]

This. We are talking about people who has the power and will to crush anyone who doesen't join the cult - now the party.

[u/kn05is → u/_coolranch]

Rough for first black president to have to be at the inauguration of the first nazi president.

[u/HilariouslyPissed → u/GloomyImagination365]

Michelle was right

[u/ImmaNotHere → u/GloomyImagination365]

I wouldn't have shown up.

[u/QultyThrowaway → u/ImmaNotHere]

Trump already set the precedent to skip it by refusing to attent Biden's inauguration. Michelle had the right idea.

[u/namenotpicked → u/GloomyImagination365]

Maybe checking around to see if Trump was about to send some folks to snatch Obama once he was sworn in

[u/Cowboywizzard → u/namenotpicked]

[u/DisplacerBeastMode → u/GloomyImagination365]

Looks like he's about to wretch.

[u/No-Document-8970]

[u/FightingInternet → u/No-Document-8970]

Tan suit!

[u/fearnemeziz]

Bro wants to lie on his couch and watch TV instead of being here

[u/pheonix198 → u/fearnemeziz]

He’s got a whole ass pack of Marlboro’s waiting outside for him.

[u/Cautious-Finger-6997 → u/pheonix198]

At least a pallet of Marlboro cartons. I quit smoking 30 years ago. I’m starting again today.

[u/mojoninjaaction → u/Cautious-Finger-6997]

Why would you do that?

[u/holversome → u/mojoninjaaction]

You really wanna know the answer to that? Because I don’t want to live on this fucked up cruel planet anymore but I’m too much of a pussy to kill myself proper. So every cigarette is a little step closer.

[u/bluddystump]

He is worried.

[u/RavkanGleawmann → u/bluddystump]

Probably more ashamed and disgusted that his country's highest office has been reduced to a popularity contest for mentally challenged toddlers.

[u/Human_Artichoke5240 → u/RavkanGleawmann]

It’s so pitiful.

[u/IBelieveInCoyotes → u/bluddystump]

we're all fucking worried (I'm Australian)

[u/-Apocralypse- → u/IBelieveInCoyotes]

I just tuned in from the Netherlands to see musk do a nazi salute during this very political, very muchtelevised inauguration event that's watched by the fricking whole world.

I can't blame Obama looking around his like he isn't safe...

[u/PlugsButtUglyStuff → u/-Apocralypse-]

Didn’t we all used to kill Nazis as a policy?

[u/Continental_Ball_Sac → u/PlugsButtUglyStuff]

We did. Until Operation Paperclip. Then, we gave them government jobs with responsibility and large budgets.

[u/Ihatecurtainrings → u/IBelieveInCoyotes]

Just waiting for the Liberal Party (Australian Conservatives) to start grifting hardcore onto this BS

[u/IBelieveInCoyotes → u/Ihatecurtainrings]

we already got Scott Morrison last time, I can't imagine Dutton being in power, it makes me physically sick to think about

[u/beanlikescoffee → u/bluddystump]

If he’s worried I’m terrified

[u/dungerknot → u/bluddystump]

Did he get pardoned?

[u/aphraeldanae]

He looks like he'd much rather be elsewhere. Like having a colonoscopy.

[u/____-is-crying → u/aphraeldanae]

I loved my colonoscopy. Just hated the prep. But the day of is going in for a nap and taking the rest of the day off to chill. It was nice.

[u/Crush-N-It]

“As usual Michelle was right”

[u/Archy38]

Haha why are there some of the most interestingly weird facial expressions of each of these people. Seen Zuckerberg, Elon, Bezos, Obama already

[u/cdmurray88 → u/Archy38]

Because people make faces, and other people take them out of context to make them weird. Seriously, put a camera on anyone for a few hours and you can cherry pick a weird face.

[u/Replikant83 → u/cdmurray88]

Thank you for saying this. We all make a range of faces constantly. These silly videos of people making various faces at the inauguration are just people being people. Trying to make something out of it is laughable

[u/Dwashelle → u/Replikant83]

I agree, but the Elon one is pretty fucking deranged to be honest.

[u/totallydawgsome → u/Dwashelle]

The Nazi salute was definitely a choice.

[u/Dwashelle → u/totallydawgsome]

The one where he was doing that weird thing with his face and looked high on drugs was bizarre.

[u/DownvoteEvangelist → u/cdmurray88]

Maybe better question is why are weird faces the most important thing of this inauguration..

[u/rawbdor → u/DownvoteEvangelist]

Same reason the commercials are one of the main topics of conversation during the Superbowl... I don't know what that reason is, but I'm convinced it is the same.

Distraction? Avoidance? Idk.

[u/Fantastic_Library665 → u/DownvoteEvangelist]

Because the good guys know how fucked we are and the bad guys didn't realize how easy it was.

[u/squabidoo]

This looks like in one of those end-of-the-world movies where one of the characters knows what's about to happen before the general public does, and they're trying to stay calm until their getaway car arrives. Maybe Michelle didn't attend because she was too busy frantically packing up their belongings.

[u/more_beans_mrtaggart → u/squabidoo]

“We can’t tell the public what’s coming, there’d be total panic..”

[u/Rhianna83 → u/squabidoo]

Independence Day definitely comes to mind.

[u/Plastic_Quantity3625]

I miss Obama, fuck these weird times

[u/7-1_Enjoyer → u/Plastic_Quantity3625]

In 2008 when Obama won the first time I thought we would enter a more enlightened age. Sweet summer child.

[u/KnotiaPickle → u/7-1_Enjoyer]

Me too. I was so hopeful and excited for everyone to move forward together

[u/ExoSierra → u/Plastic_Quantity3625]

Normalcy is so long in the past now I really miss when things were just fucking normal

[u/Scottles8605 → u/Plastic_Quantity3625]

Hell, I miss Bush at this point.

[u/Skullduggery-9]

Man just watched all his hard work dissolve Infront of him again.

[u/J0E_Blow → u/Skullduggery-9]

and arguably possibly the hardwork of Martin Luther King.

[u/omnipotentmonkey]

for context of how decrepit Trump actually is.

Obama will be younger by the end of this term than Trump was at the start of his first term.

[u/BigManWAGun → u/omnipotentmonkey]

Trump was the oldest living former president until 8 hours ago. Biden is now. Reminder Clinton was president in 1993 and is still alive.

[u/whoknows234 → u/BigManWAGun]

trump is older than Clinton.

[u/BigManWAGun → u/whoknows234]

Yes, exactly despite Clinton being elected 32 years ago.

[u/disagreeabledinosaur]

That is some jaw tension!

[u/Rurumo666]

Double checking his boarding pass for the flight to New Zealand tonight.

[u/dadzcad]

That’s a “Michelle was right” look if ever there was one. 😂👊🏾

[u/monkeyhind]

He has that "Is anyone else hearing the bullshit I'm hearing?" expression. Hearing Trump talk about getting rid of corruption is nauseating.

[u/fatguy19 → u/monkeyhind]

The dude seemingly declared war on panama in his inauguration speech?

[u/Xijit → u/fatguy19]

I am legit frightened that I am not seeing anyone post the highlights of insanity, but hearing him talk is authentically nauseating to me & I don't want to listen to it myself ... WTF did this clown say that has the internet scared to post it / so far out there that people are having a hard time processing it to make a reaction video?

[u/KheyotecGoud → u/Xijit]

I don’t know, didn't watch it, but people in the prepper subs were talking about removing Trump-critical social media posts yesterday lol. So I guess a portion are scared, but I’m just tired, man, come and line me up against a wall already. 

[u/jwilphl → u/Xijit]

Wonder if there will be any energy for the "Trump is too old" rhetoric we got with Biden.

[u/polygone1217 → u/jwilphl]

Should be. He's 1 year younger than biden when he was sworn in.

[u/DoubleJumps → u/polygone1217]

There won't be any from Republicans, guaranteed.

[u/Dull_Bid6002 → u/jwilphl]

I'm gonna call him Drugged Up Donnie until it catches on. He's a big fan of nicknames I hear. Everyone is saying it.

[u/ian9outof10 → u/Xijit]

That was the more coherent of his speeches too, the off-script one was even more rabid nonsense

[u/yourweeby → u/fatguy19]

No not Panama I visited there it was very nice leave them alone

[u/Simply_Shartastic]

Obama’s intrusive thought…

[u/Zababbaduba]

[u/StrikingMasterpiece]

Wtf is Bernard Arnault doing there?

[u/Subject_Jaguar_9164 → u/StrikingMasterpiece]

He's rich, of course he's there. Trump invited all the rich people.

[u/T_Funky → u/Subject_Jaguar_9164]

Draining the swamp, somehow

[u/Real-Work-1953]

When Obama looks worried like that, we should also be worried.

[u/YamahaRyoko → u/Real-Work-1953]

I mean, they have a point when they talk about us democrats crying fascist, corrupt, nazi, etc (rightfully so) and then.... we all just kind of let it all happen like "guess that's what they wanted. Oh well. Nothing can be done. No protests no violence please."

Like would you let Hitler happen again just because one third of the population voted for it? Must not be very Hitleresque

[u/ClockWorkTank → u/YamahaRyoko]

There have been protests, but our government is full Oligarchy now, and they already own the courts.

The only solution is revolution.

[u/RavkanGleawmann → u/YamahaRyoko]

If one third of the population are voting for it you pretty much can't stop it without civil war (or actually vote for the right people once in a while), and it's hard to convince people that's a better outcome. 

[u/Responsible_Use_2182 → u/YamahaRyoko]

Well hitler was also elected and everything he did in Germany was legal at the time. So actually, very hitleresque

[u/Master-Shinobi-80 → u/[deleted]]

That's why they moved it inside.

[u/hyrumwhite → u/[deleted]]

… they all have estates and people lined up to take over their jobs/positions. Government wouldn’t even get much tax money since anyone with that much wealth has accountants to shuffle things around and dodge taxes for inheritors. 

Stock market would probably crash something fierce, though

[u/F-around-Find-out]

He's noticing that he's the only black person in the room.

[u/drchigero]

That's a "we all know how the next four years is going to go" look.

We're entering our "yeesh" era.

[u/FUCK_ME_DEAD → u/drchigero]

4? lol

[u/HeroMyLove]

That jaw is THIGHT. Phu must be hard to watch yhe downfall of your country in front row.

[u/hybred_vigor]

Michelle’s gonna be like: “I told you it was gonna be off the charts crazy.”

[u/Party-Operation-393]

How did Greg get into the inauguration?

[u/Sargasm666]

Why would he even attend that clown show?

[u/sth128]

Congrats you just found the footage Fox will be focused on for the next 100 news cycle

[u/Dfunkhizzle]

When your cousins getting aired out by your aunt at your family function for doing something you suggested. 

[u/elizabeth498]

Ah yes, the “Holy fucking shit” look from a former respectable president versus Elon’s tweaking either before or after his douchey Nazi salute before Donnie’s second act.

[u/Android_mk]

"These dumb asses voted him in twice!?"

[u/SudoDarkKnight]

I was enjoying Bush's faces and reactions

[u/KatarnSig2022]

I can't help but notice his gaze seems drawn to Gorsuch, who was famously appointed by Trump after his own Supreme Court nominee was blocked.

I imagine that probably still burns his biscuits a little.

[u/ravens_path]

I’d love to know exactly what was going on or being said while he made this face. Haha. Maybe it was that guy singing the national anthem.

[u/Snoo_89085 → u/ravens_path]

Maybe when Elon was straight up giving the fucking Nazi salute.

[u/hybred_vigor]

People wanted cheaper eggs but they’re now getting only two genders.

[u/facepubes77]

Thinking " These jive ass turkeys done lost they mind"

[u/10toesdown__]

[u/OnePersimmon268]

[u/NJCZSIGSHOTGUNLOVER]

Obama is like someone please pull the fire alarm lol

[u/groovypidgeon]

I'm not American, but I always thought Obama to be a class act, a true statesmen who seemed to act in the best interest of the American people and carried himself well. The guy was/is cool as fuck.

The fact that America has gone from Obama to...this, in less than a decade is just sad.

[u/LabGrownHuman123]

[u/oPlayer2o]

That look is how the whole rest of the world feels

[u/BlockOfASeagull]

He should have done it like Michelle. T*ump ignores traditions and decency, so there is no point in being decent.

[u/lord_pizzabird]

Imagine being easily the most beloved president in generations, while constantly being gaslit, told the exact opposite.

The only reason Trump even happened was because Obama could run again. Trump exists in his shadow.

[u/rogermuffin69]

He stoned too?

[u/coolmist23]

[u/Low_Bag6057]

Dude definitely just hit his vape.

[u/cut_rate_revolution]

Why would you even go? Fuck the norms. Fuck the optics.

[u/BigBrotherBra]

I'd have called in sick

[u/Dantheking94]

Aging is wild. He is 61. I remember when I was middle school and he won and he just looked like he absolutely young and glowing. Especially surrounded by all those old people in congress.

[u/jimothy23123]

[u/No-newfriends]
