Swearing the oath with his hand on a five-inch-thick Bible that has been in his family for 128 years, Biden came to office with a well of empathy and resolve born by personal tragedy as well as a depth of experience forged from more than four decades in Washington. At age 78, he is the oldest president inaugurated.
“Here we stand, just days after a riotous mob thought they could use violence to silence the will of the people,” Biden said. “To stop the work of our democracy. To drive us from this sacred ground. It did not happen. It will never happen. Not today, not tomorrow. Not ever. Not ever.” The day began with a reach across the political aisle after four years of bitter partisan battles under Trump. At Biden’s invitation, congressional leaders from both parties bowed their heads in prayer in the socially distanced service a few blocks from the White House.; Harris by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina member of the Supreme Court.
In the evening, in lieu of the traditional balls that welcome a new president to Washington, Biden and Harris appeared separately at the Lincoln Memorial to take part in a televised concert that also marked the return of A-list celebrities to the White House orbit after they largely eschewed Trump. Among those in the lineup: Bruce Springsteen, Justin Timberlake and Lin-Manuel Miranda.This was not an inauguration for the crowds.
Trump did adhere to one tradition and left a personal note for Biden in the Oval Office. Biden would only tell reporters that it was “a very generous letter.”
Further dividing us. People voted for Trump due to policy, must didn’t care for Trump in general. The keystone pipeline and minimum wage being the most damaging to our economy. Remaining energy independent is important. We should never buy oil from the Middle East.
HELM? Reading off a qcard is NOT stability.
I think ' targeting' is a wrong word to use in this context. It gives wrong signals on Biden s motive in issuing the Executive Orders. I believe the word 'reversing' would be more appropriate.
Can he live throu? He hardly shuffles his feet.
Nothing for black America as usual.....
ha.. the fool reads off qcards cause he ahs no idea whats going on.. but he's great at spewing lets unite.. the right are racist. What a sick joke.
AP fix the headline. President Biden wants unity. He is not targeting Trump policies. He is targeting the issues. To do that, he had to revert some of Trump's policies.
No need for the great play by play report the possible effects of what Biden signed yesterday.
Banning travel to the uk because covid. But hey let's make sure we bring more immigrants in.
Trump gets the vaccine out and Biden will be labelled a hero for doing absolutely nothing
'Proper President' 👍👏👏👏👏❤️🤍💙
4 years without war This in itself is Trump's pride 4 years and America regained its prestige after its fall from Obama 4 years and America for the Americans Next 4 years we'll see what happens and compare
Yea
America is Destroyed 😡... President has Health issue ; VP is Asian ; defence min Lloyd austin is not Correct one ; Muslim ban removed ; Money waste started on Paris-accord ; 🇱🇷🇱🇷Original-america will certainly Take ROUTE of Protest.
Brilliant thank god that mad bastard has gone praise the lord
So nice to have America back in the adult world.
And that was day 1.
Finally sanity returns to the WH.
And there is nothing Trump can do about it
Biden means more open borders, more wars, more EU, more wokeism, more rewriting of history and a refilling of the swamp. Same old same old. The best thing about Trump - unpleasant as he is - was that he was not a politician and the world needs that just now.
I expect the Supreme Court to reject those executive orders ......saying 'he didn't do the EO correctly ' obamacare
Good. Right the wrongs. Use your mandate, Joe.
America is still going to mess with Iran and China and they dont even like us
Bend over and grab your ankles America.
Excellent start, Mr. President! Now, please, free Reality Winner!
Similar to Obama sweeping in with his Obama care and destroying the healthcare system.
Oh, the things that can happen when a president actually does his job. 👏🏻
you do know he helped make some of those policies when working under Obama.. right?
Bet on Biden Here
Here we go.......
nice
