I like the way all the screens showing Trump at the end are switched off.
Friends in California today said they feel like a weight has been lifted off them. The contrast between today’s inauguration speech and the last could not be starker.
Me too. Congratulations to you all!As a Californian I can say that I am just overjoyed that we finally have an adult as President.
I would argue that Cartman is both smarter and funnier than Trump. Despite only being in 4th grade.From Eric Cartman to Josiah Bartlett in one day.
Didn’t see much in the way of social distancing at the ceremony. Much hand shaking and hugging, certainly. Even if they’ve all been tested on the way in (?) it’s not a good example to set whilst making covid a key topic of the speech. You can see why they’ve got such problems.
She was the star of the show for me. Whenever I feel glum about the future I think of the thousands of inspiring young activists out there, for whom social justice, anti-racism and tackling the climate crisis are second nature.I thought that Amanda Gorman's poem The Hill We Climb and her reading of it was amazing, she actually has a speech impediment.
I was in tears watching her deliver the poem.
She's in great company: Robert Frost The Gift Outright (JFK), Maya Angelou On Pulse of Morning (Clinton 1), Miller Williams Of History and Hope (Clinton 2), Elizabeth Alexander Praise Song For Day (Obama 1) & Ricardo Blanco One Today (Obama 2).
I normally find inaugurations a bit bland but I was moved by the whole thing today. It’s the best I’ve felt in months- some expression of ordinary decent humanity shining through.She was the star of the show for me.

I thought Biden made a good speech though - not just full of platitudes (though, God knows, even platitudes would have been a welcome relief after four years of *****), but also sober, and showing some awareness of the huge challenges ahead (COVID, racial justice, climate change). He might just be paying lip-service to the urgent need for change, but I hope and pray that is not the case.
I watched it with my partner and, despite my scepticism, I too was moved. I think it's good to allow ourselves a day or two of optimism, before getting back to the job of critical analysis.I normally find inaugurations a bit bland but I was moved by the whole thing today.

What do I win?None...yet. Bannon has serious legal exposure because he pocketed the money he raised to build a border wall. So this was T***p pardoning him for bilking T***p’s own supporters! Apparently he has also broken state laws, so would not be surprised if he is eventually prosecuted.
Edit: Don beat me to it.
