Joe Biden, 46th US President

Good luck to the fella - going to need it.

Joe Biden is preparing to be sworn in as the 46th US president, ending one of the most dramatic political transitions in American history.

He is due to take the oath of office at about 12:00 local time (17:00 GMT).

Outgoing President Donald Trump, who has not formally conceded to Mr Biden, is snubbing the ceremony.

The new president has announced a raft of executive orders aimed at dealing with the coronavirus crisis and reversing Mr Trump's key policies.

Mr Trump left the White House for the last time as president shortly after 08:00 (13:00 GMT). He boarded a helicopter, flew to the nearby Andrews base, and is now flying to Florida.

He is the first president not to attend his successor's inauguration since 1869.

Just seen Lady Gaga singing the national anthem.

I struggle to see why pop singers can't sing the anthem without leading it down innumerable tangents. It's incredible how many extra syllables and melodic dips and turns can be included in a standard tune.

 '...And the hooooaaawweemme of the breeeaaaaaeeeeuuhhhhhhaa aaavveee'.

Agree.

I'm sure even Americans would like someone just to sing a nice clean version.

  Taking nothing away from Gaga - she's a great singer! But it's always amusing!

100% mate.

Same at the Superbowl. National Anthem goes on for an age die to the amount of syllables the singer tries to shoehorn in.

All the best to Biden...

Noticed Melania Trump wear a black outfit .. probably to mourn the death of Trumps presidency..

Good fact this - Biden is a third the age of America! Age is no barrier though...especially when you are following that mess. Good luck to him! He'll certainly restore dignity and honour to that office and that speech proved it.

Biden dismantling the oragutan's policies with  a simple signature. Something about the pen being mightier than the sword!!

Instead of crying about sh*te like that why doesn't he try working on behalf of Kevin Dunn's parents? Why give a f**k about a stupid f**king bust?

Was about to say the same thing, does anyone honestly give a sh*t about stuff like this?

Smacks of false ‘patriotism’.

I'm guessing you're on about the Bust removal? If so then yes, who gives a sh*t, if you're on about the fact that Farage is on one, then I feel we should give a sh*t, as this is how the far right provoke their followers, and they should be put down.

Yes, the people following and sharing sh*t Twitter feeds.

Ok soft lad. Calm down.

If you had not noticed, Twitter delivers the news as well as far right/left views.

Here, Mr Brexit, take back control, Save our Fishes Farage, is trying to rile the right wing up, and the American Embassy are shooting him down. Telling a foreign power how to decorate is pathetic.

To think that people actually voted for Joe Biden though...

Errr...there were two choices.

Definite closet Trumpite here... can't say I'm too surprised though.

Good luck to him. Seems a nice fella, saying the right things anyway.

Could've taken a sh*t on the lawn and would still be an improvement on the plonker just gone. Glad he didn't attend, finished out being the graceless f**k that he is.

Never had you down for a Far right fascist probably explains a lot!

Are you part of ANTIFA?

Nah, making wild assumptions is pointless. You'll see one day. But hey, congratulations to Harris the 47th President. Just get it over and done with already. Biden won't last a year with his unfortunate bad health. It is sad watching him.

We could be and it still wouldn't be as bad as actually supporting that tw*t Trump.

Would I describe myself left of centre, yeah
Do I believe black people deserve equal rights, yeah
Do I think Neo liberal policies are there to enrich the elite, yeah.

What do you believe Proud Boy?

Just to interject, as you seem to be using Antifa in the incorrect manner there. One can't be 'part of' Antifa.

Antifa is not an organisation, it's a movement.

As a movement it's history dates back to the 1920's in Italy in response to Mussolini's fascism and the 1930's in response to the growing threat of the Nazi's.

Antifa is a movement of 'anti-fascists'. People who's outlook is to limit the success of fascism, much like most of the worlds outlook  by trying to rid the world of Adolf Hitler.

It's a very complicated issue but hopefully I cleared it up a tiny bit.

So you can't be part of a movement?   

Maybe I should have been a bit clearer.

You can be part of an anti fascist movement by all means but you can't be part of 'antifa' because Antifa doesn't exist.

Ah, ANTIFA doesn't exist? Wow, that's a new one.

I explained it in my earlier comment.

Thick as f**k you fascist right wingers.

😋

I'll help you out since you can't remember or read what you said.

Don't what the f**k you're laughing at, you'd be better off supporting Chelsea with your shithouse views!!

Speaking of ANTIFA, does anybody have the number for their accounts department? George Soros still owes me a few cheques for the BLM marches I went on last summer

Careful now, weren't those marches in contravention of Covid restrictions, not that the police did much at the time, mind you its hard to do much from a kneeling position!

BTW Biden is proving to be every bit as sh*t as I feared. What I find quite hilarious is the volume of executive orders, 40+ at the last count, and these clowns called Trump a dictator!! :-)

Didn't really go on any marches like, that was just a joke.

I'm no Biden fan either, I think he's a piece of sh*t. But haven't the vast majority of his executive orders been signed with the intention of combatting the virus? Don't think you could call him a dictator for that, especially seeing as the previous administration left him to pick up the pieces of a country which has had at least twice as many deaths as any other country

One of his EO's was to allow transgenders to be able to compete in girls sports. How great.

Biden banned travel into the US from many European countries because of the risk of covid. HOWEVER, he also opens up borders and allows more illegals / refugees people to come in. Apparently those do not carry the virus.

So? Is that really the most important issue? Almost half a million Covid deaths in the US & you seem more worried about which softball team teenagers are allowed to play for

Here's another Biden gem:

Pre-election: We will issue $2,000 stimulus checks IMMEDIATELY

Feb 12th: No checks yet

Inauguration speech: Unity!

Feb 12th: Trump impeachment that only divides the 2 sides further

And if the covid stimulus is so important, why is Congress tied up on impeachment trials when they could be working on finalizing the stimulus package.

The states greatly govern themselves. Whether Biden, Trump  or Joe Schmuck are president, the federal government can provide support but cannot do a lot of mandating.

Biden's EO's towards covid have basically been centered around mandating masks on federal property and creating a team who will oversee distribution of vaccines, tests, PPE, etc.

What's the issue then? If the transgender thing is something that states themselves can possibly overrule I can't see why anybody would be bothered by it. Personally I don't think it's that much of a big deal anyway.

Yeah I think he could still be doing a lot better with the COVID response. Looking in from afar the financial support appears to be one of the most pressing issues, and he's already knocked the stimulus down from $2000 to around $1500 hasn't he? Still seems to be taking it a lot more seriously than the previous President ever did though

I agree it's not important, so why do an EO for it on day 2 of your presidency??

Bidens plan for bottom up economics in the US passed by the senate today. Should be interesting to see how it works compared to the UK and Donald Trump's top down plans.

Gut feeling is that it will narrow income disparity in America.

Farage has quit politics, job done.

Can he retire the pom-poms now, seeing as he was the obvious cheerleader of Brexit, rather then being involved in the official campaign!!

BYE England's fair Prince.

I don't see how he can last the full 4 years, let alone a 2nd term.

F*ck me Biden during a speech called the Vice President the president and now he has tripped and fallen twice on the steps getting on Air Force one.

That Kamala looks a bit of a dominatrix to be fair!!

Biden's trip is pretty funny, but funnier still were Bush 2's chimpanzee power hands, or Putin's naked upper torso horse rides. Or Biden himself screaming his speeches into the microphone in short bursts, trying to finish the line while his breath held from attenuated lungs. Weirder still to me is why anyone would respond positively to these hammy performances, why anyone would want a political figure to project such fake dominant masculinity. Is this how low electoral intelligence is? We just want a Daddy to tell us what to do?

Laughed when I saw that trip on the plane steps because I've done similar about five steps before reaching the air stewardess!  Pure shin bruise and embarrassment for the flight!

Can’t be a bad scenario.

After the shitstorm has settled still got a conviction that Biden was put up for the job as a joke candidate by the powers that prevail (security services), convinced as they were that Trump would win.

The carry on over there now all points to a lack of interest or interaction from the security forces, the storming of the Whitehouse being an example.

Trump is the perfect foil as he obfuscates and the security forces run the country, the similarity to Boris the clown could not be more striking.

All of the above and you forgot the biggest gobs***e manchild of them all - orangutan Trump. It's not low electoral intelligence, it's how the still religious nutcase yanks behave.

All co-ordinated by alt-right and nazi groups with help from several republican senators or members of congress who've gone balls deep for Trump. The sheer response to Jan 6th was lacking because of the literal deliberate lack of action by the very same powers that be that unleashed the national guard etc on protestors last summer.

As stated the comparison with the clown Johnson and his cronies is uncanny.
