Due to cold, Trump’s inauguration is being moved inside.

So, it won’t be crowd size but tv ratings; which should be lower than 2017.

Executive actions some good, some bad but the one that is going to be remembered is the Gulf of America, much like some of the old Roman Emperors crazy edicts are remembered above most of the other things they did. This is Trump's naming a horse to the Senate moment.

Corrupt and anti democratic. Biden proves again he is everything he accused Trump of.

A disgraceful end to a failed Presidency

The only country that will call it Gulf of America, is the U.S. Everyone else will call it Gulf of Mexico.

I think you missed my point. That specific executive action is something that will stick to Trump's history as a lunatic action, not that the action itself will take.

Be honest , do you think this will be his only one?

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
 

Unbelievable, Trump has the press in the Oval Office taking questions from them unbridled while he sign executive orders.

Just having a conversation.

Biden couldn’t do this…his handlers would never allowed it and frankly he didn’t have the stamina.

You may not agree with him, but he sits there answers and tells you what he thinks.

Took no questions, in fact never rarely answered any questions from the press and his handlers requested and received questions before hand. Biden had to have a cheat sheet to remind him who to call on and what question they would ask.

President Biden has engaged in fewer press conferences and media interviews than any of the last seven presidents at this point in their terms, according to an analysis from presidential scholar Martha Joynt Kumar.

Worst president of our lifetime now that Carter is dead who retained that title

Johnson isn’t the only one. Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso told Face the Nation on Sunday that he expected “there will be strings attached to money that is ultimately approved, [B]and it has to do with being ready the next time, because this was a gross failure this time.”[/B] He thinks that because the “policies of the liberal administration” had “made these fires worse,” the people of that administration should suffer too.


So its a bad thing to make sure that this can't happen again?

Following Wednesday’s plane crash, Trump shifted the blame for the tragedy to a number of figures, including previous administrations, claiming: “I put safety first. Obama, Biden, and the Democrats put policy first.”


Note he did nothing the 4 years he was in to change it. Another trump lie.

Michigan Rep. Laurie Pohutsky, a Democrat who revealed she underwent voluntary sterilization because of concerns over contraception access under Republican President Donald Trump

Totally normal amirite? Not a cult. Whats her daily intake of antidepressants and anxiety medication?

3rd wave of feminism has led to this, young woman more depressed and on medication than any other point in time. And the biggest lie with no data in support, single woman are more happy than married and/or without kids.

Good article, but what actually happened to neocons was weapons of mass destruction and not stopping the Bill Clinton housing policies which lead to financial crisis 2008, which they easily could have done. Instead they allowed that policy too continue.

While it’s easy to point at the failed legislation like Obamacare ACA….gotta do the same with Bush.
