Whatever one thinks it was some spectacle today, pageantry off the scale

The word "tweet" should read "tweek"

In what way should it be tweaked?

He'll achieve as much as he did during his first term..... which will be sweet **** all and all the while lining the pockets of himself & his inner circle of friends.

Think it might be a scary 4 years and could also be a lot of comedy in that time..I just can't get over the way he pardoned all those who attacked the White House,think that shows his attitude towards law makers..I also couldn't get over the utter bitterness towards Biden..gracious just isn't in his head.

I doubt you will find many in his inner or outer circles who understand the word graciousness. They consider all that to be "woke". There is a kind of toxic masculinity pervading his whole world. Seems like women need "protecting" from all the evils of the this world. Seems as if they can't be trusted to know what's best for them. A bit like the comely maidens that used dance at crossroads here back in the day.

They were POLITICAL PRISONERS. Bigger questions: why would Biden pardon the J6 Committee? What could THEY have possibly done wrong? Why pardon Fauci? What could HE have done wrong? As for Bitterness towards Biden there's plenty of cause for it. One small example for you: Biden stopped the wall on Day One of his Presidency (fair enough if you have a better way) then tried to sell the Metal for the Wall at Pennies on the dollar. But hey Biden cared a lot about UKRAINES Border.

Joe Biden will for ever be remembered as the president who facilitated genocide in Gaza , Donald Trump will give Israel whatever weapons they want.
There is no "good guy" " bad guy" when it comes to Biden and Trump.

I'd be with you on this. We all have our ideas, opinions and standards but I don't think that forums like these are the right place to debate the vagaries of two octogenarian ( well almost octogenarians) facing senility with both in the thrall of wealthy billionaires and vested interests. We have enough problems of our own on this side to be getting on with. The new man will do whatever he wants to. Like our new budding government, the people have spoken so we need to suck it up and move on.

Will the pro Trump Irish be at the airport to welcome home the thousands of illegal Irish? You can't deport Mexicans and not deport illegal Irish. The law is the law we keep hearing.

The inauguration was bizarre. Lydnsey Graham shouting Jesus nonsense, even Trump looked fed up and proof he no more heeds the Bible than the sky is green. He has his fanboys totally brainwashed.

Of course he can and will distinguish between some illegals and others.

"Jesus nonsense".... There you go. ...
