I assume Trump is going to be excluded from these kinds of things going forward because he's a security threat and everyone hates him. What a legacy.

Seeing the Bidens lovingly hug each other is filling me with warm fuzzies. I forgot presidents did that.

Dude, it's only been 4 years (I mean a long 4 years, but still)

SI

I sure hope the Secret Service agents walking around "The Beast" have good base layers (aka thermal underwear). They are out there with overcoats unbuttoned. There's the same asian agent that I've seen at several events today.

No Gerard Butler though, he's got to be in the background watching and keeping the Prez safe. Enjoy those "XXX Has Fallen" movies.

Uh oh, the Bidens walking now. This must give the Secret Service some willies.

You are wrong. I don't care what you and the calendars say. 2020 was four years all by itself.

They don't want him there. And he'd never want to be at an event where he's just one of the ex-Presidents. It's a win-win.

What's funny is that this man has spent his whole life trying to be part of the exclusive clubs. And he had a chance to be part of one of the most exclusive clubs on Earth--the living ex-Presidents. And he ended up screwing himself out of it through sheer self-pity.

I love that Hillary now has quarantine-length hair :)

But really this is such an amazing photo. Love seeing those 3 couples standing there.

Trump did leave Biden a note. I wonder what it said?

I think I was on MSNBC during that pic and commentator was saying how it wouldn't be unusual for current Presidents to reach out to former Presidents and get their thoughts.

I already knew this but when he said that, I pictured all 4 Prez sitting around a poker table (ala ST:NG) somewhere in the White House, smoking a cigar and talking about stuff.

well...michelle and Hillary would def be there :)

michelle and Dubya are candy buddies

Talking head somewhere said "looking forward to fact-based press briefings". Had to chuckle at that.

Yeah, I want the normal press briefings back.

What IF question that crossed my mind. What if Harris was NOT his choice for VP? THink it would have mattered?

Who else might have succeeded and /or failed there?

He did, but no details of what it said. Probably blank like every other piece of paper he has touched during his term.

I do think if Warren or Bernie was VP, it would have negatively impacted Biden.

My guess is Biden could have picked 2-3 others and it would have been the same results.


BTW - Bernie and Larry David are really related.

I bet trump doesn't even know what it says if he outsourced it like the 3rd Lady did with hers.

Apparently he did leave a note

Trump leaves parting Oval Office letter for Biden - POLITICO

SI

Democrats now officially control the Senate after Senators are sworn in by the VP

I'm going to guess the note was something like "if you read this note it constitutes a binding contract that I'm still president. No take backs."

Biden was asked about the note and said it was private and "very generous" ... whatever that means.

Probably told him he can get him a great deal on a MyPillow

Check the handwriting to see if it matches Pence's letter to Kamala.

Left him a bribe for a pardon perhaps?

Anthrax?

New Biden press secretary Jen Psaki has now held more press conferences on her first day than Stephanie Grisham did in 8 months in the job from 2019-2020.

Trump U coupon?

A daily press briefing that wasn't unbridled lying. Nice change.

what's a third lady?

i think the paper was a coloring page of trump as the new superhero MAGAMan!
(colored outside the lines of course)

The OAN reporter was skipped in the press conference.

trump's 3rd wife. A lot of fans of the party of family values said so much crap about the Obamas, but, had no problem with donny cheating on his current wife, etc...plus to be honest, she never truly acted like a first lady.

I never realized how many people have trouble saying the words "46th". So many seem to say "forty-sikth".

Is that you, Mike Tyson?

amazing

Just in. Ted Cruz is still a moron.

Man I love Twitter.

Well I thought he’d last longer than THAT pic.twitter.com/sFF2VdL05r

Yup.

There was smooth side-stepping but that is to be expected.

It would be better if Cruz was a moron. He isn't. He knows what he is doing, and is purposeful about it.

Well yea, but bleeping piece of excrement was longer to type out

would you say she was just another Eva Peron?

I really love the fact that we now have our first "2nd Gentleman"

The extreme right sure is making themselves known these days wrent they?

Remember when it was the extreme left.

It is interesting times in politics these days.

I honestly don't know. Really don't know much about her other than Madonna played her in a movie.

Man, Biden still going on at the Lincoln Memorial. He needs his rest.

They need to split inauguration into 2 days.

Quality dark humor that makes the audience just a bit uncomfortable.

Who said good comedy is dead?:lol:

Basically an actress/entertainer that latched onto a politician and they helped each other rise to the top.

Dave Grohl...so good

Why is the Senator from Texas so concerned about the people of Pittsburgh?

Cruz literally voted to silence the Pittsburgh voters! He joined Hawley in saying the people of Pittsburgh didn't deserve a vote for president.

But of course, I will see your Cruz and raise you a Ron Paul. It takes a special kind of twisted to see that speech as a personal attack:



I disagree with Rand Paul. It's not thinly-vailed. He is what he is. I guess he didn't get the Trump memo that it's OK to be his true self now.
