President Joe Biden on Wednesday spoke his first words in that office as that of a national healer and unifier, acknowledging the uniquely daunting challenge he faced after four years of violence and angry rhetoric from an ex-President who mined division as a source of power.
The relief is real.
Bless President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Woo Hoo! the World takes notice.
Yes, such a relief. And damn! Dr. Biden’s blue shoes!
Unity? Ain’t gonna happen for the dead-enders. Let the prosecutions begin!
The nightmare is over or at least we are now breathing.
There were some people on Twitter saying that after the recent turmoil, there should not be an inaugural ceremony, just a swearing in at the White House.
I respectfully disagree, this is exactly what it should be.
Fsck yeah!
Excellent speech by President Biden.
I cried at points.
Blessed relief.
You’re not wrong, but oh, gods above, I’ve been sooooo fearful.
(I’m loving this poet.)
Karl, are you a unix guy?
This song brought me down off a particulary scary acid trip in 1970. Funny how history repeats itself.
OMG what a long time coming. The positive, uplifting spirit of this inauguration is polar opposite of the past four years. I dearly hope that Republicans can open their hearts and minds and heart it. For the rest of us, we can bask in it with joy and relief.
Sane guy has the football! Whew. Dodged that thermonuclear bullet.
My Mazel is Toving.
Joe’s address was deftly given. Emphasis on truth.
Fancy That…
I hope to shout they fumigated real well, and vented the building to let the sewer gases out.
(And stomped on any worms or snakes still slithering around the living quarters. You know, like Steven Miller, AKA Wormtongue.)
Now that Biden is president, what will angry white racist malcontents do? I weep for them (NOT).
