I had a little cry at this, if I’m honest.. Fuck all that fake pop shit with Lady Gaga, Katy Perry etc. Give me Trump's inauguration line up with bands like 3 Doors Down any day of the week. That was totally sick hearing them pound out old school rock anthems 👌

If Biden proves to be a braindead idiot every time he opens his mouth like Creepy Don has then I suspect they'll pan him. I think we can be sure Fox News and the right-wing outlets will hammer him from day one - as they did with Obama. Luckily Obama didn't bitch and whinge and shit the bed about it like Tired Old Don. No idea how Biden will react to it - hopefully he'll just crack on with it and not be weak enough to let him affect him like Pissy Knickers Don did. As for the numbers at his rallies, you do realise they are practising social distancing right? You may have noticed there's been less people at quite a few events recently, including Stoke games. That may explain it, maybe. Luckily he got a fuckton of people turning up to vote at the election, which is a tad more important than how many people are watching a stream. If you think social media is important though we could go with Twitter followers. Current score: Joe Biden 25,000,000 (25 MILLION) v 0 Lonely Old Don. As for the war - I don't know. I do know Trump supporters have gone fucking mental with the 'war with Iran' scaremongering. Last time I had this conversation (with somebody else on here) I asked for something that suggests Biden has his eyes set on Iran and I got nothing back. One things for sure, Big Bomber Don has left relations with Iran a damn sight worse off than when he arrived at the White House four years ago. Hopefully Cool Head Joe can steady the ship on that front. Hopefully Big Daddy Joe can continue where Little Tiddler Trump appears to have done some good work (like the normalising of ties you mention) and restore some accountability where Trump has evaded it - mainly to start counting the number of bombs/drones used instead of doctoring numbers to make himself seem like a pacifist. Now could you answer my question on where you get your news? Jesus Christ, it's proper cringeworthy when you try to meme, please stop it. Twitter is the place to be for news as it happens. Take something like the riots in Portland last night as BLM/Antifa went on the rampage yet again & started attacking government buildings. I got to watch it live as it happened on Twitter. Have the BBC even commented on it yet?

Twitter is quite a big place - which accounts do you get your news from? I'm left wondering why Black Lives Matter would smash up the local Democratic Party office on the day Biden was inaugurated - doesn't make a lot of sense does it? Is there any proof BLM were involved, as most places I've looked it has described them as either far left, anti-Government, anti-Biden or anti-fascist.

A reminder that One America News once asked Trump this question: "We’re watching Joe Biden slip very gently into senility while you’re at the top of your game. What’s your secret?" It swings both ways.

My issue is with the amount of coverage US Politics gets in British media, it's way too much imo and is hugely convenient for our own Government. There is very little coverage or investigative coverage of our own administration in our own media. Issues which have much more impact on people's daily lives like lowering of Food standards are completely under the radar. US politics has a huge impact on the world, hence the intense coverage. I'm keen to see how Biden sees us and ultimately treats us, as an ally. Trump stated that Britain would in-line for a US trade deal, Biden has stated that wouldn't be the case and we are not a priority. www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1378389/Joe-Biden-US-UK-trade-deal-Boris-johnson-2021-EU-tariffs-trade-warI'm not saying it's not of interest, but this is saturation concerning things that we have personally no influence over. You don't get any coverage of UK Politics in the USA, I bet most US people don't even know who our PM is. I'm not saying thats good either, these are 2 extremes. There are loads of issues going on at home that are just swept under the carpet imho. Maybe media don't want to think too much about things closer to home. US Politics is like a Soap Drama. Its got entertainment value I'll give them that. Their decisions do effect us no doubt but the fact we don't have any say in them makes me personally feel even more powerless that I already feel.

Agree 100% WTF has it got to do with us, this is why we had BLM shoved down our throats it does not affect us at all sick of hearing their shit tbh.

What do we think Mr Bidens first move will be on Covid? I've seen the mask mandate, but I wonder if they are thinking about any major steps? I can't imagine the Americans accepting lockdown measures. He signed some orders today related to Covid. *Masks on all federal property. I think this will have little practical impact as most federal properties have already instituted mask requirements individually. *Masks on airplanes and other mass transportation. All airlines and bus companies already require masks, but previously if you didn't comply, they could only kick you off and ban you from future rides on that airline/bus line. Maybe the federal order will allow you to be charged with a crime? I don't know. *This may be of interest to Brits. All international arrivers will have to present a negative Covid test in addition to quarantining. *Order companies to make more Covid-related supplies like test swabs, N95 masks, ventilators, etc. *Increase vaccination efforts by establishing 100 more vaccination sites, public vaccination campaigns, and federal aid to states for their vaccination campaigns. Make it easier for former medical professionals to get relicensed to administer injections. Goal of 100 million doses in first 100 days. *More funding for research into treatments and development of faster and more accurate tests. I'm sure the efforts will be hampered by bureaucracy and incompetence like they always are, but it's good to see Biden treating this as a serious urgent matter after a year of Trump downplaying it and bungling everything. www.cnbc.com/2021/01/21/biden-to-sign-10-executive-orders-to-combat-covid-pandemic-invoke-defense-production-act.htmlBy the way, what did you mean when you said that Americans won't accept lockdown measures? Everywhere in the US has been locked down to some degree, often a great degree, since March.

Being back Melania Trump! She's a fucking goddess. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 tramp! Within the next twelve months she will divorce the spoilt brat I think she might wait until he's made some actual money (as opposed to his pretend money) in the coming couple of years before she goes for divorce... although that will depend on him not spunking all the cash he will genuinely be able to make on the speaking circuit on his own tv channel or some other ludicrous ideas.

Biden, as is his privilege, signed a bunch of decrees on his first day as top dog. One of these related to discrimination on the grounds of gender identity which has immediate implications for, and was indeed targeted at, sports in the US as this Guardian article explains: Joe Biden's gender discrimination order offers hope for young trans athletes. This is pretty contentious territory. Must admit I was surprised he moved so quickly into such a problematic area.

They are the type of band that are so easy to listen to but with a powerful emotional sound. Brad is a great singer too.

i thought this antifa lot would be happy with Old Joe in charge, if not then what the hell do they want? They would probably more accurately be described as anarchists than Antifa. Their aim seems to be anarchy, from most reports I've read fuelled by some extreme left ideology. Or an easier term would be 'a bunch of knobheads'.

Early days, but as an American, let me tell you, it already feels a lot less chaotic.
With Trump, it seemed like every day he said something to piss people off, every week someone in his staff left on bad terms. The turnover rate was massive.
Biden has done some stuff in terms of legislation to reverse Trump's policies, but he's been pretty much invisible from the public eye.
The Biden presidency has been really boring. And that's not a bad thing at all.

The Guardian did a nice summary today... Every executive action Joe Biden has signed — and what they do. I guess a large part is him reversing a bunch of Trump actions he didn’t like. It will be interesting to see how he moves things forward once he’s reset all those Trump positions.

Can't see it in this particular list?

Any sign of the 2 thousand dollar stimulus checks that he was constantly championing yet? Can't see it in this particular list? It's being debated in Congress. Points of disagreement include the amount of the check and the income maximum to be eligible for a check. Biden has no authority by himself to issue them.
