All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

Next four years. We are going to be outraged that with only an extra Veep vote in the Senate and 15 in the House we don't pass Universal Healthcare, revamp the tax system with a top rate of 75%, outlaw assault weapons and eliminate Police brutality.

Assuming Biden repeats all of Obama's mistakes. Give him credit, the man can come up with entirely new mistakes of his own.

But yeah, Biden will have to act and act fast. There needs to be a big shiny popular grand thing for Dems to have behind them on Midterms.

Right? Expectations will have to be brought to reality. Because, misinformation isn't gone. And midterms the battle is on already.

No the Senate isn't going to be packed right now. Yes we need to get good candidates prepared for a very tough midterm election.

What's bigger than a President? Well becoming a god. Trump in Florida will be like Col. Kurtz in Apocalypse Now.

He's already about as big as Brando was...

For sake of flashback and nostalgia, I revisited the best inauguration ever. From 2009



This baller performance of This Land is Your Land at the Lincoln Memorial.

And the weird thing is that of all people, George Lucas, is in the crowd (you can see him in about 2:00 minute) vibing out and he looks happier than he's ever been in any other video and documentary.

I bet he had ILM digitally alter his face to change his expression

I do, his last year in office as Gov. 2017.

Schumer's speech as Sen. Majority Leader is good.

The swearing in of Warnock, Ossoff, and Padilla was nice to see.

This was a nerve wracking morning. I’m so relieved they’re safely in the White House.

I initially thought the video of Trump leaving Washington to the song YMCA was a joke, but nope. He was an embarrassment until the end.

The poor old man is gonna get hand cramps with all the executive orders needed to roll back even a fraction of Trump’s nightmarish policies.

View from the helicopter as trump makes his way from the airport to Mar-a-Lago on his final ride in The Beast!

If I post the image, I risk getting banned. But it's really funny.

I thought he send off song was Fortunate Son? OR was that just the military one?

[Amadeus Arkham]

Then are we sure he actually wrote it then?

I've been holding my breath all day but apparently all the MAGA protests across the country were duds. I suspect most of the usual suspects are now too paranoid to air their madness publicly because of how swiftly the FBI and police took down the eejits that stormed the Capitol.
