It was short, lovely, and moving. I believe it gave people a release valve.

By your gracious cooperation in the transition process, you have shown a watching world that we are a united people pledged to maintaining a political system which guarantees individual liberty to a greater degree than any other, and I thank you and your people for all your help in maintaining the continuity which is the bulwark of our Republic.

Ooh… Could Biden do this one, but have his voice just outright dripping in sarcasm the whole time?

Now, now… 🤨

The most effective way of wounding trump is to completely ignore him. Biden can do **that** and stay classy.

OK. No sarcasm. But he’d still address Carter by name.

My nephew is in the New York National Guard and is posted near the Capitol for the inauguration.

Not sure where else to put this (there’s a Inauguration Playlist topic in Cafe Society, but I’m copying this from there):

For something else to watch, on TCM January 20th they’re showing these movies back-to-back:

- Ode to Billy Joe (1976)
- Polo Joe (1936)
- The Fabulous Joe (1947)
- The Story of G. I. Joe (1945)
- Joe Smith, American (1942)
- A Guy Named Joe (1943)
- Pal Joey (1957), and
- Mighty Joe Young (1949)

I think that is a nice tribute!

Should we hope for Trump to boycott his own funeral? Or for all surviving presidents to skip his?

And tomorrow all the “Kamala” movies!

Okay, I could find only two:

> **[Kamala (2019) ⭐ 5.4 | Thriller](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10638274/)**
>
> 2h 5m

> **[Kamala (1979)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1424061/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2)**
>
> Kamala: Directed by C.V. Rajendran. With Ambarish, Sharapanjara Iyengar, Jayakumar, Musari Krishnamurthy.

The 1979 one hasn’t inspired much posting on its IMDb page, but it’s a legit “Kamala” movie.

ETA: I don’t know if TCM has plans to show either of them. But in fairness, so far as I know, they didn’t have “Mike/Michael” or “Dick/Richard” or indeed a Joe film lineup on any of the relevant Inauguration days past.
