At last.
God Bless America. And let’s not ever let this happen again.
Nothing less than a “very emotional” moment for my wife & I watching the inauguration!
Andrew, another great piece…Thank-you very much!
I hope it doesn’t go too un-noticed, Moscow Mitch has had his (nasty) teeth pulled!!
Let’s put politics aside as much as possible, do what is right, do what is best for America, take care of one another and please……never again may we lose our grip on dignity in the White House!!
It was so nice to see dignity and respect being brought back to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. What a breath of fresh air after the stench of the last 4 years
My wife and watched the inauguration smiling ear to ear! I know words are cheap, but I think President Biden will try to live up to his promises.
I thought it was sad to see all those flags instead of people in the stands. Hopefully things will get better in 2021.
A truly Great day!
Wow, put down the kook-aid and step away from the pitcher.
Gawd, this has been so long overdue! Today was the eternal rainbow after the storm. The peak following the valley!
Let us all begin anew on a positive. A morning of gratitude with that coffee.
May the race for peace, cooperation, dignity, self-worth, acceptance….continue.
God bless America. God bless this Earth. God bless mankind.
A great day!

All of a sudden:
No more silly crispy fake orange hair-doo
Happy days are here again. The sky is blue again…….
Thank you God.
REJOICE!
A new beginning and the return of decency and respect.
But his followers still believe the election was stolen. Amazing.
Here is a thought: I am not sure I like the fact that both Trump and Schneider are being prosecuted AFTER they have left office. It might be okay, but, as I said, I am not sure.
It brings to mind African and South American dictatorships. Every time a new dictator takes over an African country, he immediately indicts and arrests the former dictator on charges of treason or rebellion or some such. Do we want to do that in the USA?
Even though Trump is guilty as the dickens, would it be better just to let him fade into Florida? Rather than continuing after him? What if we still are doing this five years from now? Not good.
The timing of the Trump impeachment is unfortunate however, what he did was TREASON! He or anyone else no matter what the timing might be, should be tried & (hopefully) prosecuted to the furthest extent of the law! This bat-s— crazy SOB virtually trashed Americas’ Capitol! To impeach & convict would prevent him from ever running or, holding office again.
What a sweet, sweet thought!!
I think we should press charges against Trump for only the most heinous crimes, all others should be ignored. By heinous crimes I mean betraying the U.S.A. or murder.
I agree with Andrew that harassing outgoing politicians smacks of dictatorship retaliation.
Matthew…. When treason had been committed, we need to deal with it! My feeling is to Lock him Up. You need to remember five people died as a result! And YOU don’t want Trumpet to be held accountable!!??? OMG!! What ever happened to EVERYONE is bound by the laws of America?
I meant “has been committed” …. sorry for the typo!
Okay, you guys… I will go with your judgement on Trump. He is guilty as can be. We all saw and heard him telling people to fight. Let’s see how this trial pans out. I am not convinced we can get 17 Republican senators to vote against him, but even Mitch McConnell sounds as if he might vote for conviction.
If this does not work in the Senate, can any other prosecutor charge him? US Attorney in DC? DC Prosecutor? Would that be Double Jeopardy if the Senate does not convict? Lord knows. We will see.
The Detroit Lions just announced that they will trade Quarterback Matthew Stafford away. M. Stafford is the Lions’ best player; he is one of the Lions’ best players of all time. He is one of the best quarterbacks of our era. We have been lucky to have him in Detroit for the past several years.
In 1920, the Boston Red Sox sent their Pitcher/Hitter Babe Ruth to the NY Yankees. Their best player, who turned out to be the best player ever. What the heck are the Lions doing now?
That damn Trump tried to destroy the US Post Office. He did it just to try to counter mail-in ballots. And, he had some results:
Today, Feb. 22, my brother received my Christmas card. We live in the same state, less than 200 miles apart (Grand Rapids to Ann Arbor). The card had a Dec. 14 postmark. Two and a half months for a Christmas card!
I blame Trump and his creepy Postmaster General. Let us support the US Postal Service.
