Actually...I did have my feed cut a few times while watching the event on the CBSNews app. No EBS messages, however.


I'm curious about the timing of everything. Since this is the first time I've been able to watch a new POTUS be sworn in at the time it happened...

When talking heads discussed Trump using his pardon powers, he had up until 12:00PM EST today to use it. Pres. Biden oath of office completed at 11:52AM EST today, and everybody referenced him thereon out as President Biden. Did we have roughly eight minutes of time where we had two active presidents? What's the rules there?

The 20th amendment states the prior term ends at noon, so I don’t believe it really matters if Biden is sworn in beforehand.

The 20th also states that the successors’ term begins at this time. In 2009, Obama was sworn in after noon (I only remember because Colbert made a joke about Yo-Yo Ma being president because he was on camera at noon). Then they actually had to redo the oath later that night because Roberts messed up the wording.

I don’t think there are any rules per se in that situation, it’s just one of those untested constitutional loopholes. Theoretically Biden would have been president for those five minutes, as Bush’s term was over and Biden was next in the line of succession. Depending on how strict you want to get with it, he was president until they redid the oath later that night.

Since there is zero governmental action occurring during that short period (the five minute one), I don’t even know what lawsuit could be brought forth by a party with standing to ever have it decided by the courts.

Given Dump's incompetence on COVID I'm sure there were a few more unnecessary deaths to account for.
 
Alternate suggestion for the title-IMHO, A New Hope was Obama. The Empire Strikes Back was dumpy. Which means this should be Return of the Jedi.
 
Yeah as long as Cruz and Hawley are around the Empire hasn't died.

Biden is just bringing us back to normality...we have a lot of work to do before we get the final victory. (which will then be ruined by Di$ney ;^) )
 
The "Biden is Part of Q" theory posted earlier is spreading through Qucumberland...you gotta love it!
 
The various MAGA train wreck sites are full of folks realizing it was all a con.

Poor dopes.

Well, poor racist dopes.

Well, poor racist, terrorist dopes.
 
“Please remember all the friends and happy memories we made together over the past few years,” Watkins(owner of 8kun, and believed to be Q) wrote in a Telegram post.

The real Q is the friends we made along the way.
 
Biden may set a record for number of executive orders in the first weeks of office as he tries to fix the Trump train wreck.

I honestly wish Parler was still around because that would be delicious!

Hell I kind of wish Twitter would reinstate Trump for just the next 24 hours because we are missing the Mother of All Meltdowns!!

Can you imagine if a person legitimately believed a cabal of cannibal pedophiles were controlling the world and then just went, "this was fun and all, but I think I'm going to go back to my old hobby of collecting fountain pens."

This. That song is dogsh-t.

The last good country song not by Dolly or the Man in Black was something by Hank Senior, who died almost 70 years ago.
