January 20, 20214 yr I'm watching, though I don't really have any strong feelings on what's happened so far aside from to say that Roy Blunt's line about inaugurations being miraculous and commonplace was kinda cool rhetoric. Assuming the Republicans like him and Pence who are there are removing themselves from the Trumpian poison and back to pretending they've always held democratic and bipartisan ideals.
January 20, 20214 yr Great to watch. Weird as it is I feel empowered. Such a difference from the last one.
January 20, 20214 yr And the Trump presidency is now officially over. Here's hoping for some more boring news for the next four years.
January 20, 20214 yr He’s definitely REACHING in this speech (“we’ve never failed”) but it’s reassuring to hear a boring presidential speech again.
January 20, 20214 yr Have never ever seen a President sworn in earlier than noon. Was 11.48 this time. Wonder why that was. Thought his term began at noon.
January 20, 20214 yr Have never ever seen a President sworn in earlier than noon. Was 11.48 this time. Wonder why that was. Thought his term began at noon. This caught me off guard as well, I guess Trump's presidency couldn't end soon enough :lol:
January 20, 20214 yr Donald Trump has just finished chatting his usual BS and still refuses to verbally acknowledge Joe Biden as the next president. To be fair he did say he wished the next administration the best which was better than I was expecting from him.
January 20, 20214 yr Gosh, it feels good to have a decent, experienced human being here again showing genuine compassion for the country. Not quite the same I felt with Obama's speech, but I will never take that for granted again!
January 20, 20214 yr Definitely here for J Lo sneaking in a bit of Let’s Get Loud *.* I wondered where those Spanish phrases she randomly spoke in the middle of her inauguration performance song were from? What is the English translation of what she said? Edited January 20, 20214 yr by TheSnake
January 20, 20214 yr To be fair he did say he wished the next administration the best which was better than I was expecting from him. Which in itself sums up Trump. The most basic act of decency and courtesy is a SURPRISE.
January 20, 20214 yr He's left Joe a hand-written sealed letter but it's contents are top secret. Not THAT secret! @1351895445199597569
January 20, 20214 yr I wondered where those Spanish phrases she randomly spoke in the middle of her inauguration performance song were from? What is the English translation of what she said? Liberty, justice, one nation. That's an approximation bc I can't recall exactly what she said.
January 20, 20214 yr Whatever trump's letter says, I doubt it will be anywhere near as dignified as the last one from a defeated president. Dear Bill, When I walked into this office just now I felt the same sense of wonder and respect that I felt four years ago. I know you will feel that, too. I wish you great happiness here. I never felt the loneliness some Presidents have described. There will be very tough times, made even more difficult by criticism you may not think is fair. I’m not a very good one to give advice; but just don't let the critics discourage you or push you off course. You will be our President when you read this note. I wish you well. I wish your family well. Your success now is our country’s success. I am rooting hard for you. Good luck— George
January 20, 20214 yr Not THAT secret! @1351895445199597569 This has made my day and it was already a very good day
