And praying that it'll be as boring and dramaless as ever.

I quite enjoyed it. What a difference to the last one! Biden seems like a lovely man, there was no boasting or posturing like the ex president who shall remain nameless. It is only recently I have become interested in US politics because of what has been going on there with Covid, then the BLM protests and the storming of the capital last week. I loved how Lady Gaga blasted out the anthem

Agree. Biden has had to overcome family heartache and terrible stammer. Who knows if he’ll be good, but he has empathy as does Kamala.
And let’s hope that all the creditors go after someone
I cried during Lady Gaga and JLo’s songs

I couldn't let this historic occasion go by without posting something. We are three hours behind the east coast so as I was getting up this morning at 6am it was already 9am in Washington D.C. My first thought was a sigh of relief that I wasn't going to be bombarded with all the vitriolic tweets and posts of the past four years. It was wonderful to see a return to the traditional ceremony of years past even modified as they were. Its going to be a long day for both Biden and Harris and a long 100 days while they accomplish what they've proposed. Wasn't it lovely seeing the former presidents and first ladies looking so relaxed and happy? I'm feeling a lot more hopeful now.

Totally agree. As Biden said, unity
I’m sure with Kamala they’ll do ok

My sentiments precisely, tweetiepiesmom . It was odd how normalcy felt so refreshing and rejuvenating. I thought the whole affair was produced exceptionally well and tonight's concert was splendid. That brilliant young lady, Amanda Gorman, who read her poem at the Inaugural, well, her two books went #1 and #2 on Amazon within hours. My favorite tweet of the day---and there were many runners-up: "Joseph R Biden served six terms as a United States Senator. He served two terms as Vice President. He is the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And the White House twitter account has just been turned over to him. Donald Trump lives in Florida."

I had to laugh at the news report last night when it mentioned the cleaners had been in the White House after Trump had left. No doubt a thorough deep clean or fumigation was required!

They said that as he’d had two big unsafe rallies, who knows what germs were there. Still, always nice to move into a newly disinfected home, lol

It also made me laugh when Biden was being sworn in he said "I do solemly swear, to thoroughly execute..." "DONALD TRUMP" I said to help him along a bit
