Joe Biden is sworn in as president: ‘Democracy has prevailed’

From cnbc.com

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. became the 46th U.S. president on Wednesday, completing the most daunting power transfer in recent American history. Inaugurated in a fortified Washington under the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic, the 78-year-old Democrat took the oath of office at the U.S. Capitol in front of a sparse bipartisan crowd. He enters the White House exactly two weeks after a mob inflamed by his predecessor, Donald Trump, stormed the Capitol, disrupting the transition to Biden’s administration and leaving five people dead. Biden took the oath of office from Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, with ... (full story)

Great! Congrats to all!
A typical cycle, a GOP president ef up the economy, and a patriot Democrat comes in and fix and recover the economy. Example: Bush messed the economy and Obama fixed it.
The politics will be boring again ( the way it should be).
Congrats to Americans for firing that baboon.

I see a lot of bullsihit comments about Kamala becoming president. Why is that? Is it because she has a different color than the one you see in the mirror? Or is it because she's a woman? Just a question that's all. This is why that country is what it is. Because anybody no matters the background or skin color or ethnicity, gender, or even their political and social views can and has that true opportunity to become the most important person in that land. You won't see that in Europe, Asia, or even South America. Not any time soon.
If you can't even see beyond color or gender then I really think you should take a good look at yourself because in my opinion and this is just my opinion. You are closed-minded.

Joe Biden said the nation “must confront” white supremacy, possibly becoming the first president to utter that phrase in an inaugural address.

I like this inaugural sentence!

1)Going to start off bringing 11 million illegals into work force.
Wonder whose jobs they are going after?

2)Policy to just do as corporate overlords want, ship more US jobs out of country to cheaper overseas locales. Being true to Globalist cabal demands.

3) Crush fossil fuels and do the Green thing. Run up Food costs with Energy, Transport and Labor cost increases.

4) His party after having completely alienated 90% of US Landmass thinks some words spoken going to just make it all better.

I thought Kamala was one of the least popular candidates during the Democrat race? If so her appointment is one of appeasement rather than representation.

Most your list is dribble but the biggest one I don't get is the 90% who are alienated, where are these numbers coming from.

I wouldn't be surprised one bit. I'm also positive that all the "executive" policies being signed by Biden and pushed out, are Kamala's ideas. She's running the show, and just using Biden as her puppet.

Boris . It's his cognitive function . Not about being a " goner " Keep up . Yes . We'll leave it there . I agree foto , certainly on point 4 . How Biden can heal the wounds of such a divided nation is one difficult task . There's lots of strife ahead

One thing, his speeches are going to be very short due to cognitive impairment.

I believe those 11 million illegal immigrants feel enslaved because of not having a green card. It also means that they are easy targets for all kinds of abuse.

But why are you so scared about Kamala stepping into his shoes? And why is that a problem? She earned her position, didn't she? I mean you made the comment. Explain to us why you made that statement when the headline does not mention anything about Kamala.

No, you guys made the stupid comments and that is making me want to ask why? The headline says, Joe Biden is sworn in as president and the first thing some people have to say is Kamala. What deep fears or insecurities are driving you to make those comments?

OK, so what's the problem? Isn't what the vice-president supposed to do? Step in if anything happens to the main guy? Isn't that the reason she was picked? Because she's more in line with his views and how to go ahead with the policies? Anything can happen to any president at any point. And referencing Biden's cognitive abilities I don't understand where you guys are going with it. He gave a good speech with a positive message, and he is trying to heal and unite a very divided country that was by the way divided by the guy who you guys think had all his cognitive abilities intact, and apparently for some here was the savior of the world. Just not his own parliament and vice president tho.
Look I think you getting ahead of yourself and don't stop and think that the major danger has already passed. You have sain, educated and reasonable people running the show. No more madness and constant controversy every minute of the day.
Basically, the world is a better place with people that have respect and decency at the helm.

But only contrast the civility of the inauguration and the uncivility of the Capitol riots to know the political choices before America today. Not a difficult choice to make if we think of both events as outcomes. Making that correct choice however, has been the bane of all nations on earth, safe few. America led those few until the event of the riots. Can it find its way back to that lead? The foremost democracy in the world? For the sake of Americans and all those who rely on that fact about them, to justify their own aspirations for freedom and liberty. I wish America well.
