President-elect Joe Biden’s leading inaugural committee chair Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), who also serves as House majority whip, said on Tuesday morning that Biden’s inauguration on January 20 will be a largely virtual event amid the pandemic.
Q: “There’s no proof that Biden actually swore on a Bible because there were no witnesses that weren’t in the Deep State–he obviously used Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which as you know is a veiled reference to Obama, and princes are usually children. I’m not saying, I’m just saying…”
Trump will tweeting(*) about how much more people went to his inauguration…
(*) Hopefully Twitter bans him at midnight January 19th, for the numerous violations that he has incurred in the last five years, and force him to take his shit to Parler.
Outstanding. The virtual convention was a great success. There will be millions of national and international viewers. It will be a fine nod to the reality of the pandemic, and the start of resolution.
This is a good idea. It will let more people participate/watch than the usual version.
Now Biden’s fundraisers should tell everyone who was going to donate to inaugural events to donate instead to voting rights and ground-game organizations at the state level.
Yep, when the first Black woman president is inaugurated it’ll be one helluva celebration. Several of my friends booked trips for the inauguration and a friend tried to get me to go, but I’m gonna save my pennies to do it up right for Kamala or Stacy.
Biden holding a virtual inauguration guarantees that tRump will hold a massive rally at the same time. I just hope that Fox doesn’t decide to show them both in a split screen format.
Leadership from day 1…the nation is going to be in a big hole, perhaps the biggest ever, and the Trump administration is furiously digging to make it much worse. The Biden team looks like it’s going to be the most experienced assembled in recent memory, and you can bet they will charge in and immediately go to work. The question is how much Republicans will continue to try to sabotage Biden’s administration…in the midst of all the pain and suffering, it would be a very bad idea for them to obstruct completely. I bet they will be the scorpion though.
I congratulate and respect this decision as the only possible option.
Personally, I will miss seeing the pageantry and traditions on my screen all day.
I feel the same way, but I’m optimistic that they’ll find a way to put on a helluva show. I thought I would hate the virtual convention too and wound up just loving it.
I will share though, I was looking forward to inauguration photos far exceeding Trumps pathetic inauguration, but everyone’s health is off-the-charts more important than my desired schadenfreude.
Now you know every big-name entertainer from every genre would love to be asked to participate. And personally l would glitz the hell out of it just to make Trump nuts. And just to get some ideas up on the whiteboard, here we go:
