So nice to listen to a good orator again. To someone that thinks and sounds presidential.
Someone that isn't a sweaty Cheeto baboon that cartwheels everywhere leaving skidmarks on everything.

Very kind of you.

Should have just asked Gaga to sing this... She's probably thinking the same thing. Maybe she demanded fireworks and a zipline to bring her in from the top of the Capitol.

So bizarre. The first note he sang, and I burst into tears. I'm not even American or religious... What's wrong with me.
So beautiful.

Excellent speech by Biden. So nice to have class, humility, and caring words again. And there are fun moments from Gaga/Lopez/Brooks, which these kind of things need right now.
Amanda Gorman is also killing it.

I agree, that was a good speech by Biden. Such a refreshing change from the horrifying bulls*** of the last 4 years.

PTSD. It will take us all a while to recover and scale back the cynicism.

I quite enjoyed it. I am always afraid Biden will loose his train of thought ever since watching his first debate performance.

But Biden won't sack the #### up and cancel $1.5 trillion in student debt affecting 44-48 million Americans struggling to get by and have an actual life. Get some spine Joe, you doddering old ####. Kick start the economy by forgiving those oppressive loans and let those people start buying the homes, cars, and other big ticket items those predatory loans have prevented.

Oh hell no.
They aren’t “predatory loans,” no one was forced to take them out, they aren’t oppressive for those who made good decisions, and blanket forgiveness creates moral hazards and likely rewards many who are undeserving or who don’t need it.
Besides, why are student loans deserving of special treatment? Where is your call for mortgage or car loan forgiveness? Medical debt forgiveness? Credit card forgiveness?
Wiping out student loan debt in an effort to let people buy “big ticket items” does little other than swap out one debt for another. In that case, those advocating for such an act aren’t really against debt, or even economic progress. They are just against having to pay their obligations as to a certain undertaking.

Well thank god that 4 years is over.
Not that the problems are over.
But let's just be happy that the horrible piece of a trash of a human being is out of power.

Nah, Biden should have tolled him Trump style.
"Poor Dopey Donald. That's what I call him, Dopey Donald. Could you imagine if I lost to him, I would have to leave the country. But I didn't lose. I won, and like by a lot. It wasn't even close, a land slide in fact. Lock him up I say."
