Enough With The Cutesy Titles, People Are Dead: US Politics January 2021 pt 2

CNN’s Jim Acosta at Joint Base Andrews, site of Trump farewell rally & departure via Air Force One: ‘There’s no crowd at all here. This might be the smallest Trump rally ever.’

Event was called for audience arrival by 7:15 am.

As of 7:35 am, many more flags than spectators.

You can't raise a stain back up when he's in defeat

Good morning!!!

Good morning, everyone

Apparently Acosta is flying on AF1 with Trump to Florida?

They took the frames!

There's a 2 metre red carpet for Trump between the front door and the lawn.

I hereby inaugur this day. I'm going to inaugur like's it 19-2021.

The list of actions formally released early Wednesday by his transition team also includes a directive to rejoin the World Health Organization. Biden will dispatch Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-disease official, to speak at the international group’s executive board meeting on Thursday.

On immigration, Biden will also nullify the Trump administration’s directive that attempted to exclude the counting of noncitizens from the U.S. census.

On climate change, Biden plans to sign an order revoking the permit, issued by the Trump administration, that allowed for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. He will also issue an order to rejoin the Paris climate accord, and the United States will officially be part of the 189-country climate agreement in 30 days.

On racial equity issues, Biden plans to rescind the “1776 Commission” established by the Trump administration, which the outgoing president framed last year as a “pro-American curriculum that celebrates the truth” about U.S. history but which the incoming administration says tries to erase the racial scars of America’s past.

Other directives Biden plans to sign Wednesday signal his priorities, including an order that will require masks on all federal grounds, one of several measures aimed at stemming the pandemic.

He just boarded Marine One with Melania One.

Did Nixon ever return to the WH, even once, for so much as a photo opp?

Because the only way this turd is ever returning is in a wheel chair in the stages of something so advanced he doesn't know where he is.

Great morning!

I don't think Nixon ever did, no.

He did -- Reagan snuck him in early '87 to discuss Soviet policy.

Didn't know that (or that Reagan solicited him: always thought it was the way around, with everyone--unsolicited phone calls).

It was the moment when the Reagan-Gorby defrosting continued and the conservative backlash had begun.

"Gloria" again. "Cursing the dead that can't answer him back"--he finally figured out it was safer, from a legal standpoint, to use music by dead people.

I was just listening to a podcast talking about how a lot of other incumbencies would have spaced their actions out over longer time. like one significant thing a day whereas the new one has just announced a load of things on the first day. BUt it seems like there is so much negative that is leftover from t that they are having to try to clear up so much of it so fast. Can probably announce positive steps they are taking in their own light at the p[ace one might be used to but there's just so much mess to deal with before they can really move on.
Hope it all goes smoothly and Hawley and others don't do their best to compound the mess they made.

Had to get one last round of evil in before he left, though this reeks of Pence’s special touch. Good fucking riddance.

"We created a new force called Space Force."

lol he's just rambling

"Very complex--be careful."

"The numbers will sky rocket downwards"

jesus christ re the homophobic hate orders - just full nazi

"The future of this country has never been better."

"The future has never been better."

K-Punk Donald Trump

lol xp

"Have a good life"

BYE BITCH

damn like 200 people there

So, uh, have a good life--see you, gotta go!"

Young man, there's a place you can go
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time

'YMCA' as his exit theme is pretty funny

clemenza - I literally lol'd at "very complex - be careful"

Is it not odd in itself that Acosta would be chosen to cover the t departure. I didn't think there was much love lost between the 2 parties. MIght have thought that t might still have some sway over who didn't get to cover him. But was he invited like the moochwas to the leaving do? Is he actually even more pathetic about who he's reaching out to right now than might be immediately obvious.

"I have to go now. My planet needs me."

(xpost) He even punctuated it with a hand gesture representing complexity.

I wonder how Gays for Trump feel about this.

A thread of coping weirdness.

Today is Inauguration Day. It will be a milestone day for QAnon supporters. We may see splintering as Biden takes office between those realizing QAnon isn't real & those doubling down & moving the goalposts. Here's a poll from a QAnon Telegram channel today suggesting a divide. pic.twitter.com/CDdG2vm5ZD

I just wanna take a moment and really feel this.

He's gone. No more President Trump. There were times that it felt like I might not survive to see this glorious day.

I mean, yeah, he left a lot of shitty, broken things in his wake, but still.

Peace out, you monster.

But Old Lunch, do you not trust the plan?

The new deadline for QAnon followers is when Biden steps up to take the presidential oath.

He - alongside Hillary, Obama, Pelosi and Schumer - will be arrested by the military and taken to an underground base to face a military tribunal which will be live on all TV networks. pic.twitter.com/XoxpLUN7C5

Oh wow, CNN is saying Trump left a letter for Biden. Can't wait.

Air Force One took off to "My Way," as the Bidens walked into St. Matthew's for mass.

And...scene.

Oh wow, CNN is saying Trump left a letter for Biden. Can't wait.

Biden: (laughing) “I didn’t know that the previous occupant of this office was a Bond fan”

Xpost

These are the prepared remarks we received before Trump’s speech. He was planning to mention @PresElectBiden and @KamalaHarris by name and even wish them well, but he did not.

In fact, his actual speech was completely off this script: pic.twitter.com/LBODyeQG7E

Sadly, I don't think it was a coincidence that there were 17 flags behind Trump. Whatta fuckin' tool, good riddance to rotten trash.
