Joe Biden presidential inauguration megathread

[Ancestral Republican]

Isn't Garth Brooks on the conservative side? I wasn't too surprised when he turned down Trump's inauguration but I wouldn't have imagined he would perform for Biden's.

No, he's a liberal. Always has been

I noticed the Space Force flag. One of the very few things I'll give Trump a thumbs up on.

Hope it's one of the last times. That LARP program needs to be disbanded along with other massive military cuts.

Sex is great, but have you ever looked at the wikipedia page for the United States?

If I were Melania, I’d divorce Trump, break whatever prenup/NDA I had to write a tell-all that will sell so many copies it will easily cover all my legal fees and then some.

I read that Trump has had more books written about him than any other president other than Lincoln.

Random observation:

President - Catholic
Vice President - Baptist
Speaker of the House - Catholic
President Pro Tempore of the Senate - Catholic
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court - Catholic

Guess that makes Harris the savior of Protestant America?

Thank you Kamala for saving us from Popery. Also, the Senate Majority Leader is a fellow MOT.

Biden said that the letter Trump left him was "very generous".

Probably means he didn't write it.

It included a $25 gift certificate for taco bowls at Trump Tower Grill.

Hopefully that ugly yellow curtain gets replaced soon.

Careful. That actually dates to the Obama era.

Biden! Woohoo!

We have a woman Vice President and she's a Democrat! I always wondered whether it would be a Democrat or Republican first.

Really?

Ha, my exact reaction. Other than unelectable Palin, no woman has ever sniffed a Republican ticket, but I'm sure there will be one in the next two cycles. Probably Haley, possibly Noem.

I just threw up in my mouth.

I mean it would take the already tiny, tiny chance of me ever voting Republican to subzero territory.

Anyone who voted for Trump because of "economic anxiety" is a f---ing moron.  Trump was an idiot blowhard with absolutely no economic knowledge/experience and zero interest in changing that.  You might as well elect a baboon for president because it has "they took our jerbs" shaved on its chest.

That said, I've never believed the "economic anxiety" thing.  I always felt that Trump's election was by and large a cultural phenomenon.  People really learned to hate Hillary.  People really learned to think Trump was quirky and interesting and "hey let's give him a chance."  People really bought into all these lies and conspiracy theories propagated on the internet by the extremists on both sides.

Also, I guarantee you that even if Biden walks on water and enacts his entire agenda, there will still be plenty of people who run around saying he got nothing done.  Or people who misrepresent what he did to blame all the problems in the world on him.  Or people who just constantly move the goalposts to say he "didn't do enough."  Or people who highlight the handful of bad things that happened under his presidency, ignore all the good things, and use that to declare him evil.  They're dishonest actors and their opinions shouldn't matter.  They should also be degraded regularly for being assholes who poison the public discourse.  I'm talking people like Glenn Greenwald, or Briahna Joy Gray, or the CHAZ morons who were wandering around my neighborhood of Capitol Hill in Seattle last night looking for people celebrating things fundamentally changing so they could try to ruin our days with the "nothing will fundamentally change" Biden quote.  Or the sorry Bernout son-of-a-bitch behind that "Has Biden Done Anything Yet" Twitter account.

Dog you won, why are you still mad

Are you new to this site? Gmac lives on hatred of the left. Were it not for his all consuming desire to vanquish anyone who thinks people should be able to go to the doctor without worrying about whether they'll make rent that month, he would not be able to get out of bed in the morning.

Oh my god just shut up.  Seriously, just shut up.

If you guys think toxic populism is going to disappear just because we won the 2020 election I don't know what world you're living in.  Liars, grifters, and rotten people are still going to do everything they can to undermine the Democratic Party and destroy this country.

We won a battle.  Nobody went to Lincoln after Gettysburg and said "lol why are you still fighting bro you won."

In your view, "rotten people" are people who want to change the broken health system and are against the military blowing up hospitals and weddings. That's a truly sad view of the world, and it's a shame you can't go one day into a new presidency without railing against some fabricated monster of the left you've built in your mind.
