Your bullshit should stay in the Trump forum, where it belongs.

"We will not lead by the example of our power, but by the power of our example."

There's the best line of the address.

I am struck by the fact that none of the GOP presidents post-Kennedy have had a poet read at their inauguration. Johnson didn't and neither did Carter, though he had a poet that evening. But Clinton and Obama did for each of theirs and now Biden at his.

The poems, themselves, are quite something.

Michael Dennis Browne's "Now We Belong" was actually part of the Trump inauiguration.

Everyone wearing masks, some even doubling up.   That's how you set the example.

"part of" is nice. He's the 2nd Republican to have one as "part of" but not spoken at, with Lincoln having done it first:

And before that, another Democratic Party president did the same - Buchanan:

They are, and today's was.  Except for pronouncing "blunder" as "blender," which also showed up on CC as "blender."  No harm done to a fine poem, and I would be a bit nervous, too. 

Overall good inaug, with a sense of responsible and compassionate leadership being communicated well.  I liked that it was windy....blowing out all the old stale air and rank odor of corruption.

The Mega Millions jackpot has continued its march toward $1 billion.

With no ticket matching all six numbers drawn Tuesday night, the top prize is now an eye-popping $970 million for the next drawing, set for Friday night. And Powerball’s jackpot isn’t too far behind for Wednesday night’s drawing: $730 million.

Ask yourself, "Do I feel lucky?"

Then complete the sentence, "If I win, I will...
