General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

I guess that Biden thinks we must all submit to our new Dear Leader, and all will be well.
Hard Know represents the scum of the fRump ideology (Trumpism). Morons like HK will not go away. They, likely with the encouragement of Thrme Orange Turd, will continue to spread the rightwing caca that they have cooked. All we can do now, as you just did, is to completely ignore sh^theads like HK. Their only purpose is to disrupt, deceive, and destroy everything of decency and truth. They deseve only disdain.
In his personal life, PRESIDENT BIDEN, and any Catholic or other religious person, is not compelled to encourage or have an abortion, but he may not stop anyone else from doing so. That's the law.
That you don't know the difference, just confirms to me why you're a Trumper.
It is so Shaw. But, I am HIGHLY skeptical that even one tRump cultist will be swayed by President Biden's unifying speech. Their hatred for decency, truth, facts, empathy, and inclusion is far too strong. I hope they prove me wrong. Even as I know they won't.
I know they will at my weblog Shaw because starting tomorrow they are simply being ignored. Many of them are ignorant misguided people, perhaps through no fault of their own, but, as of tomorrow their delusions, BS, and hate will simply no longer be posted. I have lost any and all hope those people will EVER grow to understand or change their destructive authoritarian ways or their allegiance to a pig.
RN You may be right. I've been confounded by usual right wing blogs ignoring the self-coup that Trump tried to pull on January 6.
It's as though you and I and they watched two different events. For them it was a "tiny bit of rowdiness," for us we saw an insurrection where 5 people, including a policeman who was attacked by the mob, died and the citadel of our democracy was desecrated.
If they are so marinated in Trump worship that they cannot bring themselves to acknowledge what Trump did, then I think you may be right.
Ken Olin: "It says everything history ever has to know about Donald Trump’s character that he didn’t have the dignity and respect, for our traditions to attend today’s ceremonies. He didn’t just go low these past four years, he dwelt beneath the most basic version of our best self."
As if on cue, FOX News with Karl rove today was calling President Biden's executive actions simply an effort to "erase what Trump had done?" As if that was a negative.
How he asked, can you call for unity and yet end the Executive Actions and policies of your predecessor?
Left unsaid was why Rove and the rest of the FOX News crowd never asked that about Trump's attempt to erase the Obama legacy.
Dave That's because it's a problem only when it happens to them.
Trump erased HUGE accomplishments by the Obama administration: The Paris Climate Accords, the Iran deal, all sorts of regulations for our water and air, etc. Rove should have asked himself why Trump did that.
Anyway. It was a wonderful day. Decency has returned to the White House.
Who is supposed to bend a knee to President Biden? Dotard demanded loyalty and fired people who wouldn't pledge it. Biden has said independent agencies will be independent. Whereas Dotard attempted to bend them to his will. With varying degrees of success. An example of a success being Bill Barr (who was a loyal toady almost until the very end).
Jim Wright: "Guess the Q militia wasn't quite as ready to water the tree of liberty with their own blood when they were facing *actual* soldiers instead of cops who held the doors open for them
Funny, that
Probably helps that the president wasn't Tweeting insurrection instructions too..."
Nice response to HK. But the problem is it usually falls on deaf ears (or blind eyes in this case). The truth is too complicated for the trumpers to understand.
Guess the news media was not successful in their desire to start a riot. I do hope the media gives biden a chance to implement his policies. Maybe they will give him more than tomorrow before they attack him, just kidding only good things to come in the future. After all he spent millions of taxpayer dollars today and will receive nothing in return except kudos and a few thousand illegals from the south. May he have a healthy four years and someone to remove the pens from their case at his next give away signing.
SKUD: Guess TRUMP was not successful HIS in their desire to start a riot. (There. I fixed it for you.)
You sore losers are all alike. Even Mitch McConnell, not a friend of any media or liberal, admits Trump incited the rioters who attacked America's seat of government on January 6.
Also, the "media" has zero to do with President Biden implementing his policies. Do you know how our American government works?
As Dave has said elsewhere, not everything President Biden will do will be perfect, and we'll be angry at him at times, but we are sure of this:
Joe Biden is a decent, honorable man who will work hard to remove the shameful stain that Trump and the Republican Party brought down on America.
Wow. You can hear the whining SKidmark is doing with his post. Trumptards are not only hypocrites but whinny widdle hypocrites at that. I'm really going to enjoy hearing them cry for the next 8+years. C'mon D statehood!!
Hey Skud, do a little soul searching like the conservative, George Conway, who wrote this:
"I believe that, as president, Trump was a danger to democracy and the rule of law, precisely because he was a danger to truth. But I believe his lies weren’t necessarily the most damaging ones to our country. Equally harmful, if not more so, were the lies that allowed him to flourish — not just others’ repetition of his lies, but also lies that many told themselves and others to justify not contradicting him — that you can’t take him literally, that you need to look at what he does or that his policies justified it all.
I believe many people didn’t know any better than to believe Trump’s lies, and still don’t. But I believe that the ignorance, intellectual indolence or hatred of those who don’t know better can’t excuse the failures of those who do, who could have said something, but didn’t because they felt it too inconvenient, unpleasant or politically perilous to do so. I believe it’s good, and I’m grateful, that some who were politically aligned with him are speaking out against him now. But I believe the country could have been saved great anguish had they done so before.
At one time, I believed, because I wanted to believe, that Trump could be a good president, or at least a passable one. I wanted to believe that, because I believed in many of the policies he, his party and his administration have professed to believe in. I still believe in many of these policies, even though Trump’s incompetence and perfidy have discredited them. And I believed that those who rise to the great office of the presidency often rise to the occasion, out of appreciation of something greater than themselves, and that Trump would do the same.
I believe I was wrong. I believe that not because I want to, but because the facts — mostly, Trump’s own words and actions — showed otherwise. As time went on, I came to believe Trump was a terrible president, and could never become a good one, and that, indeed, he was far worse than many of his critics, whom I had disagreed with, had made him out to be.
I came to believe Trump was mentally, psychologically and morally unfit for the high office he held, and, indeed, any position of public (or even private) trust. I came to believe he will go down in history as the worst president America ever had. I came to believe that his pathologies fostered division and hatred, and potentially violence, and rendered him incapable of achieving persuasion and consensus, and therefore incapable of successful governance.
And I came to believe he was a grave threat to democracy and the rule of law, and that he cared about neither."
"I believe Trump’s conduct during the past 78 days alone has proved these views correct, and it makes me deeply sad. I believe his deceitful attacks on the election results, and by extension on the Constitution he swore to uphold, were the metastasis of his moral deficiencies and psychological disorders. As for the insurrection he incited, I believe it never should have come to that, but thanks to Trump (and his enablers), it was always going to come to that.
I believe there is hope for the country, because I believe truth wins out in the end. I believe it’s already starting to. I believe many who supported Trump are beginning to see their mistakes, and that his influence will wane as he fades into history as a pariah.
I believe that, even though we may disagree, strongly, about policy issues of the day, there is more that should unite us than divide us: belief in democracy, the rule of law, freedom of speech and religion, equality under the law and so many other things. I believe that if we always remember that, our democracy will survive.
I believe President-elect Joe Biden understands that, and will act accordingly. And although four short years ago, I could have never imagined myself saying so, and even though I will disagree with many policies he may enact, I believe that, for this simple reason, he will serve America well." --GEORGE CONWAY, KELLYANN CONWAY'S HUSBAND
Ms Shaw, If you read my post and I never mentioned the previous president but you managed to. Now we have obama-2 which is not surprising. His advisors are ex obama advisors and his actions are obama's actions. Cancel the pipeline, send millions to the paris accord and WHO neither of which has ever done anything for anyone but themselves. I assume you do remember that the WHO told no one about the virus in china. I also assume you know that china and india are the largest polluters on the planet and the US is one of the lowest so what do we get from the millions sent to the paris accord, oh that's right feel good vibes.
Now we have billions being sent to those states who have mismanaged their state so those of us that don't live there get to contribute to their mismanagement. Joey is welcoming illegals that we will pay for and promised a million vaccines administered a day for the first 100 days. Mandate masks for flying and federal properties, problem is that is already the law.
What do you think joey is going to do for the middle class taxpayer.
George Conway, a true conservative and a man who has earned great respect is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT about the previous pretend president.
He is also right about President Biden. Conway is a man and a conservative that would be a pleasure to work with. He, unlike the GOP leadership and GOP at large understands the importance of and necessity of compromise.
This is the type and kind of man the GOP and country needs.

Hard Knox, did you read your comment before you hit "publish?" Because it makes no sense.

It was a beautiful inauguration speech and ceremony. Exactly the tone the nation needed right now to wash away the stench of the Trumpanzees.
And the world heaves a collective sigh of relief...
Possumlady
Joe Biden claims to be a Catholic yet he supports abortion...doesn't that tell you what a two faces Hypocritical Son of a Bitch he is!
Samauel Patterson, you obviously know nothing about the Bible. So I'll excuse your ignorant comment.
But I'm always glad to inform Trumpers because it helps them to walk in the direction of truth instead of lies:
Matthew 22:21
"Caesar's," they answered. So Jesus told them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
PRESIDENT BIDEN'S job is to see that the laws of the land are faithfully executed. Abortion is lawful under American law, as was deemed by the SCOTUS.
In his personal life, PRESIDENT BIDEN, and any Catholic or other religious person, is not compelled to encourage or have an abortion, but he may not stop anyone else from doing so. That's the law.
That you don't know the difference, just confirms to me why you're a Trumper.
Possumlady Amen!
PRESIDENT BIDEN's speech was wonderful! Just what our poor battered country needed to hear!
Bluebullamerica So it was. I was in tears listening to him. What a decent and heartfelt speech!
RN We'll be seeing fewer and fewer trolls like H.K.

Dave and Shaw, in a single word they can be described as... HYPOCRITES.
I suppose we'll see Rove's white chalk
board pulled out of moth balls again as well.
A wonderful day when it feels like a million poound weight has been lifted and FOX and Rove attempt to ruin it.
And Laura Ingraham, she's already tweeting a sh^t storm of lies about President Biden. And there are boatloads if idiots exactly like her.
