The Biden Presidency - 2020 - Page 24

kingfc22 · 01-20-2021, 10:11 AM

Great feeling knowing the fate of the country on a daily basis won’t hinge on a deranged narcissist moving forward from today.

Hopefully Biden can bring some sense of normalcy to DC and defeat COVID in 2021.

I don't think that there will be a longer honeymoon than normal and barely a longer honeymoon than what Trump got. Just looking at the list that was tweeted, I can already hear the push back for most things on that list. I am talking about push back from the left as well as the right. One thing I don't have a feel for is how much those things would actually offend Republicans and how much of it just would not appeal to Trump supporters. I know that for some, those two groups are one and the same but I think people understand (not necessarily agree with) the distinction I am making. Like how many Republicans are willing to go the bat against stopping the wall build or engaging the WHO to help get control of COVID? I know the number is higher than zero but is it enough to make those issues actual battlegrounds? I don't know.

miami_fan · 01-20-2021, 11:09 AM

All right, who invited A-Rod to the event? That might kill off the honeymoon right there.

Edward64 · 01-20-2021, 11:38 AM

He’s carrying a blue thing which I thought was a candy bar. But prob the wipes

People are already bitching about the $1,400 thing.

They are wipes I thought at first he was going to be one of the speakers. I bet he wishes he had Snickers right about now though.

kingfc22 · 01-20-2021, 11:44 AM

Just a friendly reminder that the oath of office states that you will protect the US from threats foreign and DOMESTIC...

Nice of J-Lo to cover herself up this time around.

Edward64 · 01-20-2021, 11:46 AM

Shouldn’t they be ushering VP Harris into a safe room right now

Edward64 · 01-20-2021, 11:47 AM

Biden is prob wondering what the hell did she say

Politics aside, Joe Biden becoming US President after the life he has already lived is a hell of a journey.

So has Fox News transitioned to talk of the Biden Coup for taking the oath 10 minutes early?

I believe they just let Lady Gaga hold it for a bit.

miami_fan · 01-20-2021, 12:20 PM

Uhh guys, I know it is a bit early and it is going to be an adjustment for everyone.

Just a bit of advice. It is probably a good idea to acknowledge the VP of the US before you go to acknowledge with the Second Gentleman instead of the opposite way around.

We get so cynical about people once they reach the top, but Bidens' and Harris' journeys are both very different, but so incredible and inspiring. They didn't just observe and critique, they jumped into the fray and never left, opened themselves up to that lifetime of stress and failure and disappointment and sacrifice.

JediKooter · 01-20-2021, 12:30 PM

A breath of fresh air hearing a president not sound like a vile pile of crap.

Very good inauguration ceremony. I am going to be amused when the far right tries to portray Biden as anti Christian - as the ceremony and speech was steeped in religion.

He stuttered twice during a high energy speech = senile

And one of the times was during rural so he hates red America and farmers!

Hell, my priest said 12 years ago when Biden was in town campaigning for VP that he wouldn't serve him Communion, so I don't think as many Catholics claim him either.

ISiddiqui · 01-20-2021, 01:22 PM

That's a really small number of Catholics in proportion. They may object to pro life Catholics but denying communion is a nuclear option reserved for mostly asshole priests.

Watching him sign the executive orders right now, and my 17 year old decries, "He's not even reading the terms and conditions!"

I just died. He's the funny one in the family.

If you've traveled Catholic circles in the South, that most of them.

This far after Christmas, this is an interesting statement that needs some background.

Edward64 · 01-20-2021, 03:14 PM

The Biden, Bush, Clinton, Obama families at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was pretty cool. It looked pretty cold & windy, there was a least one soldier, standing at attention, whose peaked cap had blown off.
