Biden and Harris sworn-in

You know what my favorite part of his inaugural speech was? That you could diagram Every. Fucking. Sentence.

I wonder how many (if any?) Republicans thought to themselves, “Wait a minute, I thought he was supposed to be way too old and senile to be anywhere near this clear and coherent.” Anyone feel like suffering through his predecessor’s inaugural speech to compare them in terms of quality of delivery?

Oh dear God no. I don’t think anyone should suffer through a single Trump blather speech any more.

I bet the letter Trump wrote to Biden was “Smell ya later” in black sharpie.

No, thanks.
I tried to make myself watch his 20 minute farewell video, but couldn’t even do that.
I am so over his bullshit. I’m celebrating today, then let the true cleansing begin.
Phew.

I saw that pic earlier and thought to myself, in this day and age with everything viral, someone like that could count on a reaction from the person they were there supporting. A phone call, a fruit basket, something or other.

The day ain’t over, but I’d bet Trump would see that and focus on the negative space and not think of the sad guy at all. If he does something to show gratitude, I bet it is his people who do it.

As funny as that would have been, it’s really fucking refreshing to have a president who isn’t a goddamned thin skinned, septuagenarian toddler.

Seeing that picture I felt kinda sad for the guy even after all this. But Trump? If he noticed him at all he would berate him for making him look bad.

Post-pandemic business opportunity?

Or was that strictly a Hillary plank?

I’m peckish for voter representation. :beers: :yum: :taco:

My favorite news of the day so far has been stories about Q cultists fracturing. There’s probably a half dozen factions now, but the three main ones:

  1. We were totally lied to!
  2. Hold on, this is still all part of Trump’s plan!
  3. Wait… maybe Biden is Q!

And the 8kun dip who might be most responsible for the Q Coup? He said (to paraphrase) “it’s over, Constitution rules, and really… Q was the friends we found along the way. I’ll have a new grift in the next few weeks, see you then!”

I don’t know about anyone else, but I am suddenly seeing a lot of references to the “Act of 1871” as having dissolved the US and created a USA Inc, that somehow Trump destroyed and therefore the inauguration never really happened, and so they were right! No Biden presidency. Damn, they are seriously stretching to maintain their fantasy world…

I hope they sealed the White House and filled it full of disinfectant after 45* slunk out.

You all need this.

You may need it so bad that, like me, you play it over and over.

I hope Biden’s been limbering up his signing arm. I am (blissfully) imagining a pile of paper (not unlike 2700 mortgages) sitting in front of him to be signed today. Sign on, my friend. Sign on.

Though I’m told he has absolutely yuuuuge appendages, from the Stormy Daniels accounts, this is almost eerily accurate…
