The nation's first woman VP. We could not have asked for a smarter, sharper, cooler lady than Kamala Harris! ?
And it was so beautiful to see Kamala and Douglas, Pence and his wife graciously chatting outside the Capitol after Biden's speech. Underscored the new era of hoped for traditional civility and dignity so many have longed for. And President Biden's speech was just wonderful...he has the makings of a great POTUS and is wasting no time overturning Toxic Rumps executive orders. The joy during the Inauguration was palpable. This is a BRAND NEW DAY....???
I’m sure one day (maybe soon) America will have their first woman president, we Brits had 2 women leaders so if we can, the US can
What I noticed about this Inauguration, versus the others I've watched, (and I never watched the 2017), was the total absense of b.s.
I’m so happy and relieved, I’ve been crying since 7:00 this morning, watching the coverage.
As for our first woman President, once I started seeing Kamala Harris on the ticket as VP, I started getting the gut feeling that Biden is a one term President & she'll fill the spot in 4 years. It's not like he will pass or have health issues, but more like he's going front & center out of the gate to reverse damage of the last few years (including the obstructionist last years of Obama's term), while she's behind the scenes garnering support & setting agenda for the future. Some of the future agenda will be draining & cleaning up the swamp like her prosecutor roots kick in, while he's rebuilding trust & cooperation across the parties & shoring up social policies.
@lowtide i am just starting to understand how triggering that abusive administration was to those with PTSD, including myself. What a four years we survived!
Bernie Sanders cracked me up today on CBS. The interviewer asked him about the future, and he said it's time the world sees that the US can walk and chew gum at the same time again. Then they asked him about he-who-shall-not-be-named, and he said that person lives in his own little reality bubble and it's best to leave him there. LOL
Then they commented on how social media was going wild about his gloves and such, and he said, well, in Vermont they know a thing or two about cold and staying warm.
I'm not his biggest cheerleader, but I really and truly appreciate how he threw his weight behind Biden and Harris and told his supporters to vote for them. He knew the very survival of our country was a stake and he is a patriot. Thank you, Senator Sanders.
@polarberry I love that he endorsed the new administration as "progressive," and seems more at ease than I've ever seen him. His voice has been heard in the executive branch.
To keep up with the happiness everybody is feeling, if you don't know Randy Rainbow, he's a great artist and he's celebrating too;-)

Hope you'll enjoy and savor this great day! ❤️ Congrats America!
