We should never forgive or forget how Trump has ruined January 20th for Joe Biden

and the American people. 25,000 troops in Washington D.C. instead of those who would have celebrated Joe Biden's inauguration.

Trump incited an insurrection and tried to destroy our democracy. He needs to be convicted in the Senate and he needs to be criminally prosecuted.

Trump is poison.

It's a few hours on one day in a four-year presidency. Joe and Kamala will be just fine, and America is back on track.

It's just that most of them will be cops and National Guard.

But on the list of the terrible things Trump has done, spoiling Biden’s celebration wouldn’t even show up on the first ten single spaced pages.

Seeing Trump's helicopter flying off to the darker pages of our history will be amazing. We will deal with the evil players because we have no choice.

There’s Covid 19 so there wasn’t going to be balls or a parade. It will be virtual and joyous.

we can really make a difference now. Structural ones that can save the future.

Give Statehood to the District of Columbia
Decriminalize weed and other drugs
pardon anyone nonviolent person in jail for weed related offices or the stupid 3 strike rule
fight against voter suppression and repug gerrymandering
do something about about the supreme court


Ensure that the House and Senate remain Democratic after the midterms.

The same guy who produced that, is producing the inauguration.

I'm looking forward to it!!

(But I'm sad that Joe can't ride his train. I think that would have meant a lot to him)

He seems to always want everyone else to be comfortable. He already served in this house with distinction. He's going to have too many problems to solve to worry about how it looks.

No President since Roosevelt has come into a worse situation, and, in many ways, only Lincoln's arrival in Washington rivals what Biden has had to deal with.

Let us pray that he is up to the challenge. He is probably the only one that could have won that election of the major party candidates. I wish he was younger, but we have to play the hand we are dealt. He has tremendous experience coming into his Cabinet. I am sure that he will also be blamed for the utter criminal incompetence of the prior administration.
