I don't think I've ever watched an inauguration so closely. The indoor setting brings the focus to the individual faces...
Share your observations of the swearing in and the inaugural address.
AND: Here's the whole ceremony:

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 225 of 225I didn't see it, but don't you think she was trying to suppress a guffaw and keep a straight face?
I loved the black pastor. And just so RCOCEAN II knows there is a mute button on every device.
It was the fault of John Roberts. He started the oath before Melania and the family got there. And Melania was holding the bible. Totally asshole move.
I agree completely.
"Jamie - The day that Robert Cooke could give a measured, considered response has passed. Donald Trump has broken him."
Hahaha!
"Rough day, Cookie?"
No. I haven't watched a moment of Trump's address. One always knows what to expect from Trump: lies, self-promoting claims, promises, boasts and insults and name-calling of those who do not suck at his ass. He's a wizened 12-year old, spoiled and yet resentful of others, his own ego as fragile as lace.
"The Obama/Biden Reign of Error has ended. May it never arise again."
How could it? Obama served his two terms--and has been out of office for eight years--and Biden is not fit to run again, much less to serve.
@Biff, he's been busy helping people in Western NC. When FEMA wasn't flying, Samaritan's Purse choppers were on duty. I watched them on the FlightRadar site.
"We’ve invaded the Gulf. Mexico should understand this."
What does that mean?
"The American people have spoken...."
Some of them have. About a half of them.
It's time you laid off the sauce, dude...and what other NOT LEGAL substances you're ingesting.
A President has an Inaugration ceremony at the start of year 5 (9 or 13, if FDR) if selected. A VP taking over on POTUs death or resignation means those re-inaugurations could take place in other years after reelection.
"Is Biden even sentient enough to realize what Trump was saying?"
Is Trump? Given the snippets I've seen from his campaign speeches, I'd have to wonder if he's suffered a cognitive break of some kind.
Off with his head!
So you like a big "fuck you" to Native Americans in the Inauguration Speech? What's next, reopen the boarding schools so we can finally, once and for all, erase Native American heritage.
Kak - so you are on board with the Biden Crime Family and their pardons? You support their criminal activity? Their Ukrainian millions for secret persoanl profit - all of that US tax payer dollars? Going into Hunter's crack pipe and hooker fund?
So you support Biden Crime Family? You're OK with them. Got it.
She'll never be president and he's tied Grover Cleveland. And he's spanked the first two major party female candidates on non-consecutive occasions!
It's kind of an American thing, isn't it? Something goes wrong, you don't whine, you don't pout, you suck it up and make the moment your own.
Laura Ingraham sounds drunk as she gleefully recounts the days events on Fox. Maybe she is just exhausted and dizzy from working all day. Or maybe she is just high on MAGA.

Biff, yes, exactly. Roberts started his spiel before Melania got there. Trump complied and then probably didnt notice Melania sticking the bibles at his waist level.
What is it with Roberts and messing ip oaths? He had to do Obama twice.

Field Marshall Freder, dumb as he is, instinctively knows how dumb his complaint is so he moves immediately to a fake news/hoaxy future crime lie.
Overall view of the day: I feel a sense of happy optimism around the country today. Here in Florida, certainly, but also from other parts. A friend in Ann Arbor (of all places). A friend out in LA. Family in various Midwestern locales. There is just a feeling in the air. Felt it when Obama was elected, but this is different. This is more like an aggressive feeling that America is about to rev up again.
Most striking thing to me was JD Vance's wife, Usha, looked proud enough for the entire nation.
Inauguration happens after every Presidental election even if the President previously held the office. George Washington's first was in 1789 making this the 60th (Ford took the oath but he was never inaugurated IIRC. There may have been other VPs that were never inaugurated President even though they held the office). Forty-five men have been President but two have now been elected to non-consecutive terms. The practice is to enumerate continuous occupancy of the Office as one Presidency so non-consecutive terms count as two Presidencies.
@Dr Weevil, I'll again raise my disagreement with that assessment. WRT Fauci, 2014 is when the regs stopping funding for GOF went into effect. 2014 would also seem to be about the time the Biden Crime Family got serious about grifting off Joe's carcass because they knew he'd be out of office in two years and Obama wasn't going to back an attempt to win the Presidency. I don't think either case is very persuasive for Obama being involved. Why would he expose himself for such meager pickings? He had plenty of other more lucrative opportunities.
There's talk that Obozo is dating Jennifer Aston and that a divorce may be in the offing. Big Mike will go it alone.
