  1. This is responsible leadership – responding to the prevailing circumstances.
    Unlike the man child next door who is so obsessed with crowds to feed his ego.

    1. I don’t know what else to call Trump, but the man is either delusional or so immoral it’s incomprehensible. Most likely both.

  2. Speaking of inaugurations, whatever happened to all that money t’rump raised for his in 2016? 🤔
    Asking for the DC attorney general. 😂🤣

    1. Joe has won nothing yet! The Congress meets on January 6th to certify the election. All we need is one house member and one senator to dispute the results. Then each state places one vote and Trump remains president. Of course all of you know this already since you’re so smart. You cheated, you got caught and Trump and his family is going nowhere.

    1. @The Truth Hurts You! NO comparison, honeybuns…to what Trump has done TO the Americans. Now, he’s out to bankrupt America, like he did with his casino !!?? He’s the one, NOT paying any taxes !? He’s the one spending all the taxpayers monies, on himself !!? YEP, NO comparison…..sweet cheeks…

    1. @William Kahley 😂 you just confirmed it even more, you were spreading lies and you got banned SO YOU CREATED ACCOUNT TO SPREAD THE SAME LIES YOU WERE KICKED OUT FROM.

      FYI learn the differences of objective and subjective opinions. I guaranteed that anything you posted, the opposite of it is the objective truth.

    2. @William Kahley

      You got booted because you lie and propagandize, don’t pretend it’s because you’re some kind of warrior for truth… You’re a liar, and got dealt with like a liar.

    3. @bLoWc16 so? Is that a problem? Lol I made my account a few months ago so what? Lol people can make an account whenever they want you troll lol Biden will make America great again 🤣

  3. In fact the smaller the inauguration crowd the better …. it shows Biden cares more for the health of his people than his own ego and signifies the passing of the shallow, myopic, me-first type leadership of the past 4 years.

  4. Oh God, now we will hear trump, until the end of time, saying he got a bigger crowd than Biden. Good call by the way Joe.

    1. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hahaha 😂 I am laughing loud and I CAN SEE IT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    2. When the amount of covid sick and the deceased are MORE important to you than the amount of people attending one of the most important events of your life, then you have my respect on this President Biden and Vice President Harris.

  5. Just a thought: To those who would have liked to attend the inauguration maybe you can donate money (if you are able) equal to the amount of bus fare/gas money you would have spent to a charity of your choice.

    1. You’re the apotheosis of the strong and independent, powerful and empowered, brave and courageous womxn! It appears that you’ve found your voice and that you’re walking in your resplendently majestic truth. So iconic! A true moral authority! Is it really ok if it’s a charity of my “choice?” That’s very kind of you.

  6. It’s a necessary Ceremony, but hardly a celebration. Glad he’s doing this. He needs to be the epitome of resolve. Justice is coming, and the GOP needs to cower

    1. You’re the apotheosis of the strong and independent, powerful and empowered, brave and courageous womxn! It appears that you’ve found your voice and that you’re walking in your resplendently majestic truth. So iconic!

    2. We All Know We Would Not Have Heard This Kind Of Decision From What’s His Name…And Miss Out On Having “the biggest crowd, more than any other president”? Not!

  7. 2021: small gathering to social distant the swearing in for Biden
    1/20/2022: Big party to celebrate T***** gone!!!

  8. Biden is starting on right plan from day one, this is leadership.Trumps 4 years was a $hitshow from before day one

  9. I get the sense Biden would prefer to just take the oath in the hallway and then immediately go into the office and start getting things done.

    1. Like he has for the last half a century… the only thing he is going to get done is finish selling off the rest of the country fleecing every last cent you have… then handing over the keys to China and the UN…

  10. WE have the technology to televise this, to stream it on multiple platforms, and to keep the country safe.

  11. im sure the majority of americans dont care how many people are there we just want him in an getting this covid taking care of

  12. This is needed for security as well as covid. Smart, unlike the person who plans a super spreader the same day.
