2. ffs

😕
is why we can’t have nice things ...

✌🏻

[msongs]

3. skip the pomp jst take the oath in private somewhere and get on with it IMO nt

[Irish_Dem]

4. LBJ took the oath of office in Air Force One.

Maybe that is going to be the only safe spot. Geez.

[dweller]

11. I was just thinking that

Came back to suggest it ... Joe could flyover the country taking his oath, make it available online

✌🏻

[Irish_Dem]

15. Joe has a strong respect for tradition. He probably wants to do it in WashDC.

And retain some traditional elements. As much as he can with covid and security issues.
He differs from Trump in the he is going to listen to the experts.

I think it is like a bride at her wedding, he has to have some elements special to him.

7. Yep. Elopauguration

[onetexan]

32. LOL interestin amalgamation of words

[frazzled]

17. I think he has to have a formal, public swearing in

All the crazy charges of illegitimacy have to be put to rest by being sworn in on the steps of the Capitol by a Supreme Court Justice, oath sworn with hand on Bible. It’s bad enough that this will not be a “normal” inauguration with crowds and streets lined for parades. This one serious thing should look “normal.”

Now that there will be 20,000 National Guard and the Mall will be closed, I feel it might be safe. I hope.

26. Zoom inauguration.

[Dem2theMax]

5. Swear him in, in a secret location,

televised, streamed online. That's it. Done.

Safety first. Sadly, I think it's going to be that way for a long time to come.

[Irish_Dem]

6. Yes and it has to be streamed live. The American people need to see it. nt

[soothsayer]

9. Really don't mind Joe's basement

[brooklynite]

16. "The President is SCARED!"

Great kickoff to a new Administration.

[msongs]

19. I don't believe he is scared. do you? nt

[brooklynite]

21. No, which is why he's not hiding his inauguration inside.....

[bdamomma]

30. Not scared

just being very cautious which he should be. Let us support him. We have a lot of work to do.

[Dem2theMax]

34. THIS! 👆 nt.

[MontanaMama]

8. This isn't a normal year because of Covid...

And it’s even more abnormal because of our bumper crop of domestic terrorists. I want them to have the inauguration where Joe and Kamala can be safe. This threat won’t go away in the next week. As long as republicans refuse to tell their cultists the truth, this is where we are.

[gldstwmn]

10. Please just do it inside.

[MagickMuffin]

12. He has sucked ALL the joy for PRESIDENT elect BIDEN

From the election win

To the certifying of votes

To riding on the train (something Joe has done all his political life)

To the Rehearsal

To the Inauguration


He is a tiny tiny "man" no morals, no empathy, no compassion, no humility, no respect, no light, no love.

He's just an angry empty vessel.

SAD

[soothsayer]

13. Yes, what a misery

[triron]

14. If ever someone deserves Hell, it is Trump.

[bdamomma]

20. tRump

needs to be in solitary confinement. Really he's a fucking CRIMINAL. He has done so much damage and also those like Manafort, Stone
who he has pardoned, and can cause more damage.

tRump is a vengeful, vile, snake, which he is so happy to portray.

[Demsrule86]

24. No he hasn't. Joe will still be president and he will be hounded for the rext of his miserable life

People steal joy only if you let them. I look forward to Predident Biden and the inauguration. I am also feeling fortunate that as bad as 1/6 was... it could have bern so much worse.

[Cha]

25. Yeah, but I was just thinking

that it's going to be All the More Sweeter when we Do have Pres Biden & VP Harris!

I Will NOT let them take my Happiness away!

[Demsrule86]

28. Exactly Cha...I just posted before I saw yous pretty much the same thing. JINX!

[Cha]

29. lol.. Ever the Positive.. Especially

Since we Won in a Landslide & have the House & SENATE.

I'm giddy with JOY & Gratiude!

Dems

[onetexan]

33. I would say rather the opposite - that the more the con is acting small

The greater the contrast Biden presents in being everything a great leader should be that the Con is not.

[BlueIdaho]

18. If we can't protect the President of the United States

in Washington DC - it’s time to start shooting the rebels.

[bdamomma]

22. Domestic Terrorists

that is what they are.

a mob for a mob boss, as he said "he loves them". He is mentally deranged.

[Cha]

23. When would be a good time!?

[EndlessWire]

27. I am so happy we are getting Kamala.

I used to see her on the late night talk shows, and she sounded so mature, so calm, and intelligent. I think I am going to be so happy on the 20th that nothing they present will disappoint me.

They should relax and plan a party from a secret location, but not the WH. That has to be fumigated, deep cleaned...they could put together something in different formats, so that we all have a shot at watching the swearing-in ceremonies. I don't see why they don't do it that way. We are not going to have a military parade. Why not make it a relaxing day where everyone is safe? I know that the Inauguration is important and something their two families would have enjoyed. But, we can still have fun! Show them dancing, or something.

There can be pomp and circumstance, dignity to the Office and Patriotism. Just do it safely. We all need to be bucked up. A speech from Joe, something positive...amber waves of grain, rah, rah...

Man, I can't wait!

[superpatriotman]

31. Send another 20000 armed troops?

Or possibly scrap the whole thing?
