Trump briefly has Kamala Harris as his Vice President.

Good one. Not much time to make change in the time they had.

It is, James. Class. 

Yes he is class. Had some difficult times/ traumas  in his life and has pulled through . He has covered so many areas in his speech in particular about " lies and fake news"  ,etc

Indeed she did, that red but of the dress looked slightly problematic but she managed. Good to see JLO too.

Auld Bill away to sleep. :D

 

Congratulations Joe on becoming President. 

I think Bill was having blood flow problems after Gaga & J Lo were on.

I know . Actually got quite emotional watching his speech and thinking of his dead wife and children. Hes achieved what he has wanted to do.  Great.

Poetry is brilliant when it's delivered by greatness. Take a bow Amanda Gorman. 

Absolutely.  She was brilliant.  Very talented young lady.   A future senator perhaps ?

 To lose his first wife and family the way he did was saddening and for him a major shock, he gets a new wife, and starts again and again a son dies, the one thing you can say about the man including the Presidency he never takes a ten count and out, he gets knocked down and beats the bell, for that he deserves credit. He did as he does often stumble on a word as he did today I think the letter R may still give him some problems.  I have stated I don't think he was the best candidate for  President, but I have got to like him more as a person, and hope he does well, he has set himself a lot of goals and is going to have a difficult time.

Prob having a wee dream about cigars....

 

Thought the BBC cover and colour commentary was up to their usual dreadful standards but Bidens speech was well written and seeing Lady Gaga out her face and still nailing her song was superb. That aside the message particularly as mentioned above about leading by the power of their example and Amanda Gorman (sp?) were very positive and almost inspirational

Good post, Bob.  As a human being having gone through such tragedy, his resilience to continue his focus on improving life for Americans is very admirable  - simply a good man.   It's good to see that his instinct is to immediately reach out to McConnell and some other Reps to dampen down any lingering Trumpian  obstruction from his political opponents when Congress considers his policies.

Nice words from Biden but I'll wait to see the examples he wants the US to set before I get too excited.

 

Honestly speaking, it'll be better than The Donald's tenure but I'll bet money that at the end of his reign, it'll still be a mess of a country with a **** ton of racist cops, a whole shit load of racial inequality, no decent health care and a whole bunch of nutters with free access to high powered rifles. 

 

In short, it'll still be an embarrassment of a nation.

President Biden should be allowed to judged on what he does as President, not what he could not do as Vice President. There is a big difference between both positions and he should be given grace to do as he promised. 

 

 

Oh and JKB is riddled with fecking popups and ads I having opened. Fecking up my phone. 

Congratulations has made a comeback anaw. Rant over.

Class is a good word to describe what’s happened today, the world is a better place than it was yesterday.

Dunno about drugs. But she could've played the flamboyance down a tad, for the ceremony, imo.

 

Don't mind her. But she played up to it.

That was as tame as shes ever dressed. T🤣 i mean her eyes were cheesey pinging saucers but the rest of it was straight out her state funeral wardrobe

She has some serious health issues that cause her serious pain. Could be she’s suffering just now but medicated heavily to get through the inauguration.

Whenever the media interview trump supporters they pick out the most red-neckish one they can find, not a trump fan but all 70 million can’t be gun totting trailer trash surely?
