President Biden Delivers Unifying Yet Sobering Inaugural Address.
President Biden delivered his inaugural address which skewered his predecessor without mentioning him by name. (Politico)
“His 21-minute speech was a start. It was more credible because he didn’t try to obscure the past in a cloud of false goodwill. Thankfully, he didn’t follow the usual ritual of gracious words for his predecessor, which would have required painful artifice. He didn’t mention Trump at all.
But nor did he indulge the illusion that with Trump gone politics can return happily to normal. Recall that the alleged normal that preceded Trump was not so happy. Biden touched on systemic factors that made Trump’s movement possible, including a political-media “culture in which facts themselves are manipulated and even manufactured” by partisans.”
The Nation has so much work to do and it now falls on one man to lead us towards achieving the worthy goal of rebuilding our country from the ground up. Many detractors and agents that are still loyal to the former president will try to thwart any progress but they will not prove to be worthy adversaries.
Donald Trump slunk back to Florida a completely defeated person and as the Biden Administration uncovers more corruption and complete incompetence (and reveals them to the public) it will become clear to wide swaths of America that we were led by a buffoon for the last four years.
