I never do either. I figure that we see his name with all five letters capitalized so often that it’s just a small way of trying to restore some balance to the universe.
Sousaphone.
Is there a clamshell model of that? I want one.
Just bandshell models.
I think it’s safe to say that you are completely wrong about this. It will be remembered, quoted, and remarked upon for a long time to come. Part of that is definitely because of the contrast to his predecessor, but also because of the specific message and theme he was promoting.
Today is a good day to rejoyce being silly in a good way.
Are y’all still watching? They’re headed with the former presidents to Arlington cemetery.
Paris climate accord, Muslim travel ban to name a few.
The former presidents, except the one they are symbolically burying. But not there, of course.
Actually, I understand they will let the cat bury him, as she always does. Good cat!
And if she’s like my cat, she will do a very thorough job! I watched my cat in the yard the other day and she took a good 10 minutes to bury… um, the stuff she needed to bury. Of course, it’s not like she had anything else to do. She doesn’t have a job or anything…
…bury the Trump.
Gore did a video for the day.
What is the name of that marching group in the Revolutionary Wary costumes? God, I love them! They used to come to San Antonio during Fiesta Week and I’d drive all over town to see them. When they switch into that slow step-- holy cow, I’m goosebumps all over.
ETA:
The reviews I’ve heard have been positive so far:
Presidential Historian Michael Beschloss:
“It was a terrific speech”
Fox News Anchor Chris Wallace:
“I thought it was a great speech…I’ve been listening to these inaugural addresses since 1961 – John F. Kennedy – ‘Ask not…’ I thought this was the best inaugural address I ever heard.”
Can anyone explain to me who has to turn towards the President when they walk by and who doesn’t? Looks like the band didn’t have to at all (reasonable) but people just marching some did and some didn’t. Is it just officers maybe?
When does he move into the White House?
Presumably they need to disinfect it first. Will there be a giant white tent put around it?
I noted that klobucher’s gift was by the statue of the suffragettes.
Andrea Mitchell was just saying on NBC News Live : “at precisely 11:59:59, the nuclear codes were changed and the nuclear football transferred to Joe Biden”. Music to my ears.
I think the first person in each column doesn’t have to turn their head, 'cause they need to look where they’re going. Other than that…
It’s a big endeavor. They have about 5 or 6 hours. They’re spending a couple hundred thousand dollars. I heard there will be 90 (?) people working on disinfecting the White House.
