You know what.

Good on Pence.

I'm so pitifully institutionalised now that the hugging is making me uncomfortable!

But what a day. And what a fine poet and magnificent role model Amanda Gorman is.

Apparently the latest idea is that Biden was Q all along

@BruceAndNosh

I heard that shit too. Or that Biden and Scrotus had a fucking brain transplant or some such shit. Conspiracy theories is one thing, but that is just plain NUTZ!!!!

I was just thinking that.

Maybe the recent death threats woke him up a bit.

gwenneh
My mother sent me footage from the security camera in her office (they are business owners so it's her camera) of a local businessman telling her "There won't be an inauguration on the 20th, you just watch. The Pope is in on it."
PLEASE can she pixelate out their faces and let that go viral
pretty please

I wonder if the White House is having a massive deep clean now and a sweep for any listening devices?

The sun is now officially over the yardarm, or something, and I am about to open a bottle of champagne. Cheers!

I know this isn't the end of these threads.

But I just wanted to say I huge thank you to everyone who has started and posted on these threads, to educate us all, over the last 4 years.

I'm getting all soppy now

What an odd job (POTUS) for an introvert!

Yes, an unlikely job perhaps, but he seems to be a bit of a contradiction in terms. I would never have guessed he was introverted until I read Michelle's book. He's a rousing speaker, confident etc. I just seem to remember her annoyance when he would take off for months on end to 'write a book' lol. He'd bug the shit out of me!

He knows he may be risking his life again, in ensuring the formal transition of power.

The Pences making the Bidens laugh on the steps.
Hope it's a Trump joke....

Yes. Well done, Pence.

They are! Genuinely--apparently it's a particularly deep clean due to the pandemic. No joke.

Respect to Pence there.

Yes Red he chose democracy rather than Trump.
He of course got no reward for his loyalty over the last four years from Trump.
Just being fed to the baying mob.

I think Biden learned a lot about speechmaking from Obama. But he brings to it a distinctive Irish Catholic sensibility of his own. The combination is very very strong and very very American. That was an “evolved” speech of the highest order, inspiring, clever, passionate and careful.

We did that as soon as Kamala was sworn in.

It's still morning here. Fuck the yardarm!!!

Oh dear Mr Clinton not wearing his mask properly 🙄 tut tut

After the Dems made such noise about wearing masks, an ex President cannot even wear one properly and they are asking now that everyone in Federal buildings or grounds to wear a mask...Great example to set 👏

Lol

The sun is always over the yardarm somewhere!

Their poor QAnon heads must be spinning

We need a Trump watch thread now.

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime

The sun is always over the yardarm somewhere!

I thought it was 6pm? But yes it is always 6pm somewhere!

I've got chilled sparkling but have to wait until dc are picked up from school.
They watching there as well.

Just to remind people of 4 years ago

America First...The Netherlands Second

PHEW, what a relief!
