@DGRossetti

We could at least console ourselves he wasn't Trump.

How was our lying, cheating, thuggish and racist PM not like Trump ?

He's not orange?

And he says 'Alas' and quotes the classics.

She's very young and very very talented. Just looked her up , 22 , wow!

Very talented, poised and beautiful.

Amanda Gorman is very good

I would love to know what the orange one is up to.....

@Roussette

For us from the UK, this will mean something 😂😂😂

Fun fact.
Jennifer Lopez is the same age as Jacob Rees Mogg.
Sorry, couldn't resist

22

Future president!!.
Will look her up after..

I wonder how much she has practised this???

Gosh she was amazing.

Beautiful young lady.

She's absolutely wonderful

"For there is always light
"If only we're brave enough to see it
"If only we're brave enough to be it."

OK that's me gone now.

What a sensations!

She will be the memorable event from this inauguration, unlike, george w's poncho issues from trumps

Can we move forward not look back please?

Just for the rest of the day at least.

I love the podium cleaning man !!

I’m a few minutes behind you all due to child interruption but Amanda Gorman is just wonderful! This is a barnstorming performance. Brava!

Just saying - Gorman is an Irish surname.

She has already said she would like to stand in about 12 years time!

I wonder if she has any relatives called "Dave"

It truly is beautiful.

She's really interesting. Harvard at 16, had a speech impediment and has auditory processing disorder.

Jill Biden apparently picked her to recite her own work.

One to watch.

I wonder if she has any relatives called "Dave" grin

Not sure what the references, but I went to school with a fella called David Gorman. Think he's DJ Dave now (serious).

I am .

And for once on these threads, that's envy not disgust.

Tom Watson tweeted

"It's the past we step into, and how we repair it." Amanda Gorman with the line of the day, the theme of this ceremony, two weeks out from an attack. Brilliant.
