Biden has been inaugurated.

That's a polite response to the accusation of genocide a couple of days ago  ;)

Credit where it's due, Trump resisted the urge to raise merry hell on the way out of the door.

I reckon he will be quite relieved to not have to deal with the media nonsense for a spell.

I think Joe is probably a pretty decent old gentleman.

But, as Rangie says, the old boy is past it, and is therefore merely a 'puppet president'

Much like Edward VIII as King, if Hitler had won.

Credit where credit is due, Trump did not behave like a spoilt brat schoolboy and was honourable in defeat and handed over power in a civilised manner befitting the role of president outgoing. Oh wait a minute he didnt. Some veiled threat to frighten the bejabbers out of the Western world “ I ,ll be back “ or similar. Pathetic. 

And I am not a fan of Trump or Biden. The first had his chance and didnt impress and second has his chance. Lest we not forget the role comes with a lot of influence over despots who directly or indirectly affect us . Russia, Iran, Northkorea, China and so on.

I thought J-Lo,s version of America the Beautiful was pretty crap. Ray Charles used to sing it at the inaugurations and it would bring a tear to the eye of a tailors dummy.
He was a Democrat, but also used to perform it when the Republicans won, but charged them double.  ;D

As a historical comparison,

“Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.”

- Trump's 2017 inauguration address (which he might have been reflecting on from Mar-a-Lago)

And IMHO there aren't many better renditions of the US national anthem than this one:

If memory serves, it's the only time the Queen sang the anthem of another country.

Ben Shapiro made a good point yesterday about how 'unity' could mean all sorts of things, mostly positive, however, the interpretation Biden seems to refer to is the 'You will be unified by what I tell you, because it will affect all of you. In unity' one.

He has also royally pissed off the Canadians and thousands of recently unemployed US workers by killing the Keystone pipeline stone dead.

What makes you think that Churchill or, indeed, the UK, is of any importance to the USA? At least they could use us as a gateway to the EU, but we're not even that any more. WW11 ended 75years ago, most people in the world know nothing of it, only what they read in books.

All I was inferring is that it was important to Trump (due to family connections) but wasnt to Obama and isnt to Biden. Probably because they are so steeped in the Liberal left woke mindset, that they see the UK as an imperialist racist country which shouldnt be celebrated.
Republic of Ireland is a minnow of a country by any measure, but Biden parades his Irish credentials at every opportunity.

What makes you think that Churchill or, indeed, the UK, is of any importance to the USA? At least they could use us as a gateway to the EU, but we're not even that any more. WW11 ended 75years ago, most people in the world know nothing of it, only what they read in books.

If a bust of Churchill was in any Presidential Office, then it should be in the Presidential Office in the Elysee Palace.  ???  ::)

I bet there isn't though, the ungrateful froggie bastards!  >:(  ::)  ;D
Too long ago, history for most people now.

When Obama went into the oval office he removed the bust of Churchill.

True.  Maybe there's a bust of Tony Blair in the Presidential Office of the Elysee Palace, in recognition of him naively giving up a chunk of the UK's EU rebate in return for a French promise to reform the Common Agricultural Policy.  A promise they then cheerfully reneged* on.  ::)

*Is renege a French word BTW?  :-X                             ;D

It was said on the news last night that both Russia and China were hoping that Trump was re-elected. America's allies were too busy dealing with him to be organised enough to challenge them.

Submarines do a very good job of floating.....  The engineering involved in getting them to 'sink' in a controlled manner is astonishing.  :y

All I was inferring is that it was important to Trump (due to family connections) but wasnt to Obama and isnt to Biden. Probably because they are so steeped in the Liberal left woke mindset, that they see the UK as an imperialist racist country which shouldnt be celebrated.
Republic of Ireland is a minnow of a country by any measure, but Biden parades his Irish credentials at every opportunity.
Ahhhh....of course  ;D ;D ;D
