Isn’t it nice to want to share a Tweet from the President because it’s so positive!

I watched almost the entire inauguration yesterday, and I enjoyed it thoroughly, except for one thing.  When Joe was walking down the street, it scared the Republicans out of me!  I feared that a sniper might kill him.  I war relieved when he made it inside.  Here us the the the complete video, so you can move around in it for parts you haven’t seen or want to see again.

It’s a busy painful day here in the CatBox.  Today is a grocery delivery day from Store to Door, and I just finished unpacking and storing everything.  Tomorrow is a WWWendy day, but she is not coming until early evening, so I should be in the in the saddle.  Thinking of the former resident**, I hope a ravenous golf got his balls.

Joe, even though Trump** is a draft evader, do NOT pardon him!

Short Takes:

From Crooks and Liars: Having made it past November, and even past the Jan. 5 runoff in Georgia, it may seem like the airwaves and signboards near you would finally be free of political ads. However … that’s not quite true. While the idea that ads are already showing up for the 2022 election cycle might even be enough to generate howls, there’s a reason that these ads should be welcomed. Because these ads are all about holding Republicans accountable for what they’ve done over the last four years.

That starts with ads that are going on the air in Wisconsin to detail the explicit connection between Sen. Ron Johnson and the violent attempt to overthrow the government. Voters to the south might not be catching those ads, but they could still run across a Josh Hawley billboard from MeidasTouch. It’s all just part of the move to clear the halls of Congress … of the people who promoted a violent attack on the halls of Congress.

I love it, but I bet I know who loves it more!  RESIST the Republican Reich!!

From NY Times: In 17 executive orders, memorandums and proclamations signed hours after his inauguration, President Biden moved swiftly on Wednesday to dismantle Trump administration policies his aides said have caused the “greatest damage” to the nation.

Despite an inaugural address that called for unity and compromise, Mr. Biden’s first actions as president are sharply aimed at sweeping aside former President Donald J. Trump’s pandemic response, reversing his environmental agenda, tearing down his anti-immigration policies, bolstering the teetering economic recovery and restoring federal efforts to promote diversity.

Here’s a look at what the measures aim to accomplish.

I think Joe is off to a great start, but we need to make our voices heard, if he becomes too prone to negotiate based on Republican promises. We know how that worked for Obama.  RESIST the Republican Reich!!

I’ve waited far too many years to be able to say this again, at last!  RESIST the Republican Reich!!

OK, so I’m a little giddy today. Aren’t you? Be honest!

This was last night, which is why it is so dark. I wanted something upbeat for today, and neither Biden not Harris is much of a grandstander, but they are both caring.

Now This News – I missed it at the time, but now I wonder if it could help if seen by Trump** supporters.

“The Damage Report” I have no comment.

MSNBC – Sigh. (I read elsewhere the laptop in question was used only for presenations and contains no sensitive information whatever. You have to get upp very early in the morning to be ahead of Nancy Pelosi – and preferably the night before.)

The Lincoln Project – I don’t know whether this is actually part of a series or just one-off, but it’s very well done.

A New Roy Zimmerman! (Sorry it was necessary, but it’s delightful.)
