Thoughts On The Inaugural

[Paigntonian]

Perhaps we should spare a thought for poor old Hillary. Old Joe could beat Trump but she couldn't. Never even made it to VP, unlike Kamela. Good job she had a mask on. Nice to see her and Bill together, however, as they've lived apart for 17 years.
Also, don't think the world's greatest speechwriters did a terribly good job for Joe. Apart from 'let's end this uncivil war', which I rather liked, everything else in the speech was predictable. That said, there might have been a case for being consensual and calm.
Great to see Kamala and her extended family walking to the event. Don't think Joe and Jill did anything wrong but was just struck, as many others have said, that the old chap is looking his age and electing 78-year-old presidents is plain daft.

Why was Lady Ga Ga wearing a red parachute?

Hiding her thermals?

Apparently Biden's bible, being so large, was thought to be a first edition - signed by no less than Jesus himself.....

I particularly liked the part in the poem about the taming of the belly of the beast.
Seemed very appropriate :-)

It's nice the way they shower gifts on the new incumbents too :-)

at the inauguration, Tom Hanks said that America had suffered from a Troubled Rancour.

if Jonathan Ross had said it instead of Tom, would it have been even more true?

[jno]

"troubling rancour", wasn't it? Why would it be more or less true if someone else said it?

[mushroom25]

mmmm. Mr Ross can't say his "R"s?

Saying that the USA election is nothing to do with us here in the (slightly dis)united kingdom is not in my view a sensible thing. Should we have cared when Hitler took over Germany? Or was it none of our business? Bearing in mind that we've left the EU and were looking forward to making the most of our special relationship with the USA, I think what happens over there is very important.
