One more sleep!

Thank you for the send off thread.

They're counting the hours on the BBC News now!

Well done everyone, we made it!

Now the trash is taking itself out, it's time to get on the marigolds and clean up.

We've been watching CNN coverage since 10 this morning. It's been so uplifting after the last 4+ years of hell.

Currently awaiting the memorial ceremony for US Covid victims.

I was so happy to hear McConnell finally put the blame squarely on Scrotus for the Capitol riot. There's lots of speculation going on as to what 'option' that direct condemnation may open.

Thanks for the new thread. I was going to suggest the title of "Donald Who? Biden thread #1". But maybe that can be used in the future.

Pmk. So looking forward to tomorrow's. I will be ending dry january early to toast the end of the orange despot🎉🎉🥂🍾

Fantastic! Can't believe we are now on a thread that will see the end of 45 and the start of 46 Joe Biden.

Thanks *Arr8

Can't believe we're finally there!! Dd commented today that she can't believe I'm still on these threads 😂

It's been a long haul, a few scares and falling into bed in the wee hours but you've made it all so informative, compelling and entertaining.

Thank you

Thanks Arr

and pardons for each and every one of you - posters and lurkers all

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Have followed these threads on and off while watching from the UK. So pleased for America and the rest of us that it’s almost over! I’m wfh so might be able to finish in time to actually see it, but I’m sure it will be repeated.

Goodbye Orange one, hello sanity. 🥂

NBC (or was it CBS?) was trolling Trump by showing all the recent presidential transitions/handovers going back to Eisenhower handing over to JFK

The contrast wasn't kind

Blowingagale I think, not sure, it actually all happens about 4pm UK time, the swearing in is at 5pm.

Just read that Lady Gaga is performing the National Anthem. Love her voice, she will do it justice

Our of the darkness and into the light, welcome back dear neighbours

Update on the bizarre case of Riley Williams (the woman in the ITV film who was alleged to have stolen Pelosi's laptop).

There was a thread on twitter dated 6th Jan which had footage she had shot on her own phone. A Politico journalist was tipped off about it:

In the video her voice is hear talking about a laptop being taken and there are screenshots of a Riley claiming that she had stolen Pelosi's gavel and harddrives. And that the police will 'Never take me alive'.

She was arrested yesterday.

And there is now a further new update this evening.

NEW: Feds preparing to issue two felony charges — including theft of laptop from Pelosi’s office — against Riley Williams, 22, who was filmed (and filmed herself) inside the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Oops. I think she is in a wee bit of trouble...

Well, Hallelujah and the lights have done it for me. It has been a hellish 4 years and a pandemic on top. It sure is a lot of death....

I'd the orange one had a conscience it might have just stopped him from sleeping.

Moving ceremony Covid memorial.

It is almost eerie with no one there but emotional singing, Kamala and Doug,Joe Biden and Jill. And the most fantastic lighting up to the WH.

It just seems to mean so much more now. We haven't had this gravity for so long

Now how long do you think before they connect Riley Williams to someone higher up. I don't think she acted alone, more on orders from someone inside the Republican party.

(p.s. my geography for the landmarks is pretty bad, it might not be the WH as i put in my post)
