Inauguration Day follow-along thread -- Woo-hoo! Cue the brass bands & fireworks!

I look forward to following her career.

I do hope that Obama whispered into Joe’s ear “this is a BFD”…

I loved that. He thanked the previous presidents of both parties for “their presence here today,” managing to exclude Trump without making it explicit. That was finesse.

…While noting that Carter could not make it (in a respectful way).

Yeah - class!

I’m wearing all the pearl jewelry I own. :slight_smile:

What a relief this is.

In trump’s inaugural address, didn’t he pretty much declare that the US is a shithole country?

I didn’t catch that. Thanks for pointing it out. Nice!

As an aside, what is the piece of music played as the colors were trotted in and out and where has it been used in pop culture because I know I know it but can’t place from where.

Perfect, I’ve been hoping for days that the Marines would play that!

I want to know why the Coast Guard is still sucking hind tit in precedence. Shouldn’t the Space Farce be the junior service now and be the trailer in the presenting of the flags?

Yes. American carnage.

Is he reading from a prompter? He certainly doesn’t sound like he’s following a prepared script.

What a great day. I haven’t enjoyed an inauguration so much since January, 2009.

The big issues are being much discussed. I’m entertaining myself thinking about the minor ones. First Dogs Champ and Major will soon be moving in to the White House. And somewhere in the sky, the 747 that will once again become Air Force One is winging its way back to Andrews AFB, having for the last time dumped an orange turd like a final bout of diarrhea. I hope it’s going to be fumigated just like the White House.

I intend to quote at least one part of Biden’s speech whenever possible and hope it penetrates at least a few minds.

“We can join forces, stop the shouting, and lower the temperature.”

Harris is walking pence out. That is class.

I’m really glad Pence & Mother were there. Trump is twisting in the wind all by himself.

DoD > DHS in the order of precedence.

“end to uncivil war”

Ah.
That makes sense.
