The only other ex president not there is Carter but I think he's too frail to attend.

Bless him. Biden mentioned him in the speech.

It's so good to hear this, isn't it. He's so inclusive. So calm. So GROWN UP. He's talking to those who didn't vote for him with so much respect.

I have really cried. Trump enabled such hatred, for what? A fucking whim of his. Just like Boris Johnson.

What a speech :love:

Look at Pence’s dead eyes. I hope he’s realising he sold his soul to the devil for the last four years, and he’ll never escape the consequences of that.
It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

Bloody amazing speech. I was afraid for him when he stumbled over a couple of words.

Oh jeez, Garth Brooks. I'll always associate him with crying over his cancelled Croke Park concert.

Oh God. Community singing across the world :cry:

That should have been a lump in throat cry, not a sad one.

Who is Garth Brooks?

It wasn’t a whim, it was a cynical and calculated attempt to extract dollars from a credulous and disenfranchised populace.

No one is singing along with you there Garth.
