This was clearly the biggest and best inauguration in American history. There has never been an inauguration as big as this one ever before. ---

Given that three senators were also inaugurated yesterday, it might be that more inaugurations attended this crowd than any other presidential inauguration crowd in history ever. Period. ---

No doubt the biglyest ever in the history of biglyness. Not even George Washington who seized the British air fields during the civil war of 1812 has such a bigly inauguration. ---

There is no doubt that was the largest crowd that ever attended Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration. ---

It’s also a fact that if you disregard all of the fraudulent votes for Trump, Biden is the only US president to have won all 50 states, plus Canada, Mexico, and the Atlantic Ocean. Truly a remarkable feat. ---

That’s actually surprising. I thought that a lot of folks watched trump’s for the “train wreck factor”. ---
