One never knows... does one..
“The president wrote a very generous letter,” he revealed of Trump’s note to him. “Because it was private, I won't talk about it until I talk to him. But it was generous.”

Well, there's Biden's first Pinocchio!

This gave me a hearty guffaw.

For years many on here said Trump would never leave willingly, that he'd be physically dragged out. That isn't happening. I just don't know what is laughable. If he was making today about him he'd be staging a rally at the white house during the inauguration until he was forced to leave. Then he'd stage protests around the white house or capitol during the inauguration and celebrations that go with it. None of that his happening. He left this morning without issues. I don't see how that is making today about him? But to some comparing a good bye rally in the morning and leaving the office and traveling out of state hours before required to as not making a scene is laughable I guess.

He left the way he did because his insurrection attempt failed and he was forced to back down. I don't get why you're acting like Trump chose to go out gracefully, when he had the intention of dong anything but, and most certainly did not, and the attack on the Capitol is the main demonstration of that. By this morning the idiot literally had none of his desired options left, so he slunk out quietly, with every intention of continuing to poison America's democracy any way he can going forward. But hopefully he will be too busy losing all his money to do that.

I never said he is going out gracefully. My comment was in response to Trump trying to take the spotlight today. I don't see how he is trying to take the spotlight, he's getting on a plane and leaving before he was even out of office. But that has nothing to do with going out gracefully. I would agree that he did not.

He had no choice but to leave. You make it seem like him leaving was Trump doing something on his own. He literally had no choice unless he planned on sleeping in the street.

So he became the first president in 160 some years to not go to the inauguration, creating an awkward spotlight on himself. He had to leave today. So before he left he held a rally in his honor. He had cannons go off in his honor. He had all the same music playing that are usuallty played at his political rallies. He got up there and repeated much of the same kinds of lies he always says. He never mentioned his successor's name. He never mentioned that he lost. He mentioned that he will be back "in some form." Then he had air force one take off in perfect unison to Frank Sinatra's "My Way" as if its the final scene of a ridiculous reality show.

All of the above, mind you, delayed the Bidens leaving for mass by over twenty minutes. Their day was help by Trump's ridiculous going away party.

I ask you, short of refusing to leave the White House, which was never realistic, what more could he have done to make this morning about himself, considering just two weeks ago he failed to overthrow the incoming administration with a violent invasion of the capitol.

Of course he had to leave. Seems like our disagreement is in our definition of stealing the spotlight. I don't see his good-bye rally and 21 gun salute as out of the normal. I never heard of it before, but never paid attention to what an outgoing president does either. When I got up at 7 AM (9 eastern) the coverage was already on Biden and the inauguration. Watched for about 40 minutes and never heard 1 thing about Trump. Watched for about an hour during my plan period at work, not 1 word about Trump. That does not fit my standards of stealing the spotlight. Perhaps you have different standards for that.
That says nothing about Trumps character or intentions or motivations. Just the facts for today and who the spotlight was on.

not out of normal?

Whats ABNORMAL IS WHAT HAPPENED TODAY.
FUCKSTICK STILL HASNT SAID PRESIDENT ELECT OR PRESIDENT BIDEN BY NAME.

So just stop your bullshit. or trolling or whay ever the fuck you are doing.

apologist.

Geez man, untwist your panties. All I said was Trump didn’t steal the spotlight and you and a few others like to turn it into this huge thing. A comment was made about trump stealing the day, I said he hasn’t been on the news since 4 or 5 hours before inauguration. I guess that makes me a troll and apologist? Some people here are just a little too worked up on a day that should be a good day.
I said it before, I’ll say it a 5th or 6th time. Trump was embarrassing, even more the last few months. I’m glad he lost the lawsuits. It’s a good day for democracy. But I’m an apologist and a troll because I disagreed with 1 negative thing 1 person said about trump today that didn’t even make sense. Okay.

You slept through what you said wasn’t stealing the spotlight. Then you admitted you did not know what normally happens on innauguration day yet you argued what you didn’t see appeared to be normal.

Not to belabor the point but quit talking about shit you know nothing about. Or just defer to folks who know better.

I’m not sure who appointed you Juggs Almighty. But according to you getting up at 7:00 is sleeping through the day and the important events of the day. By the way, most of the country wasn’t up when he left the office, so quit acting like it’s a big deal or a character fault to wake up at 7:00. I actually think the inauguration was a bigger deal than the 10 minutes Trump got very early in the morning. You want to focus on those 10 minutes. Weird, but okay. Saying I don’t recall other presidents having an exit rally means I don’t know anything about Inauguration Day.
The reality is most Americans have a good idea what to expect. I never said it was a normal day or graceful. Just he didn’t steal the spotlight. And if I have to get up at 5:00 to witness the 10 minutes of news coverage he got for the day, I’m sorry but that isn’t stealing the spotlight.
Its weird, I’m not sure why the hate you and a few others have. It’s cult like. I can agree trump should go, I can agree he was embarrassing. I can agree with the outcome of the election results and that isn’t enough. You still hate anyone who disagrees with a single thing you said about trump. Time to move on man. He’s out of office. I’m sorry he didn’t steal the spotlight and give more news coverage that you were obviously looking for. But it’s over, time to move on. But you’re ignorance and hatred runs so deep for anyone different from you that it apparently makes me a sympathizer in your eyes.
Stop letting your true colors show by putting others down who disagree with 1 thing you said. I’ve asked 4 times how he stole the spotlight and your only response has been insults. That’s because he didn’t steal the spotlight and you can’t stand anyone who disagrees with you in that.
I hope you can learn to accept others different from you. We need to if we want to move on as a country.

Most of the country wasn't up?

What time do you think people wake up?

By far, most of the population in the US lives in the Eastern and Central time zones - look at the map of those two time zones combined. This is an old map so it could be wrong...but it is not going to be wrong by too much.

It was in the 8-9 AM hour in Eastern and 7-8 AM hour in Central when all this went down. Approx. 8:13 AM when Tubby wobbled out to Marine 1 and then a short while later when they arrived at Andrews.

Holy cow, talk about beating a dead horse. People just can't let things go. People really have a hard time of accepting a good day and moving on, people just have to find something to be angry and argue about. I thought we were done with this.

Fine, not "most" of the country, but a large portion. You had to be out of bed and watching the news by 5 AM on the west coast to see him leave. Again, not the point. Not the point at all. The point, that several are choosing to ignore for unknown reasons to me, is that the day was still about Biden. From 9:00 AM until the end of the day the news was entirely focused on Biden and his administration, as it should be. That is not a complaint, that is not saying I wish Trump had more coverage. That is my response to those who were saying Trump was stealing the thunder. He just simply was not. Okay, so maybe half the country wasn't asleep, but 1/4 of the country maybe, who cares? Does that even matter? Is that worth bringing a dead horse back to life over?
So here are the facts one last time for those of you who are still confused about the situation before I put this thread on ignore and move on because some of you just are looking for things to be angry about at this point and can't focus your attention on something positive.
I didn't say don't know what goes on during inauguration day. I said I don't pay attention to farewell ceremonies. I mean, there has only been 3 since I've been an adult, only 3 in the last 20 years (Clinton, Bush, Obama), so yeah I can't recall every detail when the last 2 left office. But a farewell leaving the Whitehouse seems pretty normal, any other president no one would have thought twice about it. So I don't know why people are worked up over that and consider that stealing the thunder. Still, I am not sure why not being an expert on farewell ceremonies means I can't comment on the coverage by the media throughout the day to some. That was the whole argument, the amount of focus trump got vs Biden! I haven't figured out the connection between saying I don't pay attention to farewell ceremonies and the fact I live in a part of the country where most are just getting out of bed, has to do with commenting on the coverage of the inauguration for the day. But according to Juggs and Merkin that makes me self-admitted I don't know what I'm talking about and should remain silent on all issues. Maybe Juggs Almighty can explain the connection between the time zone I live in, my experience on farewell ceremonies and commenting on media coverage throughout the day - which was the actual topic at hand. They still refuse to admit that trump did not steal the spotlight, I have no idea why its such a burning issue for them.
My daily schedule seems to be of some consequence to others on here. The fact I wake up at 7:00 (technically 6:40, Then poop and get out of the shower around 7:00, I didn't realize it would be such a critical detail to some, but I guess my daily routine is pretty important in this). From 7:00 (mountain) on, there was almost zero mention of trump. The focus was Biden, as it should be. So those living in the east coast or Midwest, sure, maybe they got a 30 minutes of news about Trump, and then 12 hours of Biden. That is not stealing the thunder by any measure.
I never said Trump left respectfully or peacefully. I never said he won the election. I never said he was my personal hero. I never said Biden stole the election. I never said I'll miss trump ( I won't). By the responses, you'd think I said all that.
So though all this anger, name calling and other bullshit, I still have the same conclusion that no, trump did not steal the thunder away from Biden yesterday. They will tell you I am wrong, and their reasons will involve zero facts or anything really to do with the topic actually, but they will tell you that doesn't matter and to be silent and listen to them anyway. The vast majority, nearly all of the coverage, starting from about 3 hours prior to the inauguration until the end of the day, was completely focused on Biden and the inauguration. A relatively short amount of time on trump leaving the office prior to that does not change that fact. The fact that when I woke up at 7 AM it was already over does not change what happened during the rest of the day over the next 12 hours. There seems to be some confusion in that. But that is the truth. Total coverage of trump = an hour at best, total coverage of Biden and the inauguration = 12 hours. Which is bigger? There is zero argument to say trump stole the spotlight, but that doesn't stop some from arguing about it anyway.
This topic has made clear who is unable to accept a good thing and be happy. Elections are good. Democracy is good. Our freedom to vote and pick our leader is good. Yesterday represented a good day in this country. Some really enjoy finding misery and spreading it. Simply stating I do not agree that trump stole the spotlight has clearly opened up wounds to some who cannot accept that he is actually gone and need to find something new to discuss and be angry about. Its actually sad. Why my simple statement of the spotlight being on Biden, has been the focus of that hate and ignorance is beyond me. Can we finally put this to rest now?

Still, I am not sure why not being an expert on farewell ceremonies means I can't comment on the coverage by the media throughout the day to some. That was the whole argument, the amount of focus trump got vs Biden! I haven't figured out the connection between saying I don't pay attention to farewell ceremonies and the fact I live in a part of the country where most are just getting out of bed, has to do with commenting on the coverage of the inauguration for the day. But according to Juggs and Merkin that makes me self-admitted I don't know what I'm talking about and should remain silent on all issues. Maybe Juggs Almighty can explain the connection between the time zone I live in, my experience on farewell ceremonies and commenting on media coverage throughout the day - which was the actual topic at hand. They still refuse to admit that trump did not steal the spotlight, I have no idea why its such a burning issue for them.
My daily schedule seems to be of some consequence to others on here. The fact I wake up at 7:00 (technically 6:40, Then poop and get out of the shower around 7:00, I didn't realize it would be such a critical detail to some, but I guess my daily routine is pretty important in this). From 7:00 (mountain) on, there was almost zero mention of trump. The focus was Biden, as it should be. So those living in the east coast or Midwest, sure, maybe they got a 30 minutes of news about Trump, and then 12 hours of Biden. That is not stealing the thunder by any measure.
I never said Trump left respectfully or peacefully. I never said he won the election. I never said he was my personal hero. I never said Biden stole the election. I never said I'll miss trump ( I won't). By the responses, you'd think I said all that.
So though all this anger, name calling and other bullshit, I still have the same conclusion that no, trump did not steal the thunder away from Biden yesterday. They will tell you I am wrong, and their reasons will involve zero facts or anything really to do with the topic actually, but they will tell you that doesn't matter and to be silent and listen to them anyway. The vast majority, nearly all of the coverage, starting from about 3 hours prior to the inauguration until the end of the day, was completely focused on Biden and the inauguration. A relatively short amount of time on trump leaving the office prior to that does not change that fact. The fact that when I woke up at 7 AM it was already over does not change what happened during the rest of the day over the next 12 hours. There seems to be some confusion in that. But that is the truth. Total coverage of trump = an hour at best, total coverage of Biden and the inauguration = 12 hours. Which is bigger? There is zero argument to say trump stole the spotlight, but that doesn't stop some from arguing about it anyway.
This topic has made clear who is unable to accept a good thing and be happy. Elections are good. Democracy is good. Our freedom to vote and pick our leader is good. Yesterday represented a good day in this country. Some really enjoy finding misery and spreading it. Simply stating I do not agree that trump stole the spotlight has clearly opened up wounds to some who cannot accept that he is actually gone and need to find something new to discuss and be angry about. Its actually sad. Why my simple statement of the spotlight being on Biden, has been the focus of that hate and ignorance is beyond me. Can we finally put this to rest now?
