Minus 45 in Washington DC today?

I don't think Hell froze over, but the majority of voters did try to put out the fires by collectively peeing on it.

+46 in the afternoon

I thought Lady Gaga gave a quite moving performance of the national anthem.
Amazing, like most things she does.

Watched inauguration earlier. I thought Biden spoke well. He seems to mean what he says. You needed this. Now we need to get rid of Boris! Regards.

Biden does seem to be reasonable. Never paid much attention to him until the 2020 campaign.

Boris isn’t as extremist and self-indulgent as Trump is he?

Boris is no Trump but he's no Biden either. He is public school (Eton) educated, has had a priveleged upbringing and the sense of entitlement that goes with that. He tries to portray this "man of the people" image but the reality is he knows nothing about nor cares much about the "man in the street". Well that's my view and pretty much that of many people I know. I think that becoming Prime Minister was his lifelong ambition. He has surrounded himself with a cabinet of pro-Brexit sychophants.

I'm not sure about the hair - it seems to be part of his "image" . He huffs and puffs and litters his speeches with multiple metaphors but doesn't say a lot. He'll never be as extreme as Trump but, I think, we'd be far better without him.
You can see I'm not a fan! Regards.

Boris' hair might be designed to disguish the fact that he does not seem to have functional eyebrows.

Perhaps Boris will look closely at what happened in DC, and change his rhetoric? Maybe even get a hair cut??

? Am I missing something?
High temperature is supposed to be 44 F. Washington would crumble and fall apart if it ever reached -45 F...:) Or -45 C for that matter....

Biden seems like the perfect man for the job of restoring the USA, but I worry about his age & the deploreables who would like to end him.

The Jan 6 attack of the deploreables on the Capitol - How many of them is there? You beat them in the civil war, We beat them in WW1, again in WW2,but they just keep inbreeding!?!

Pelosi If neither Biden or Harris can serve.

Saw a depressing article that 9% of Americans are at least willing to accept or are sympathetic to the existence of Neo-Nazi and White Supremacist groups.

Pelosi? hmmm.

After Jan 6 the orange pig still had a 66% apporval rating with his supporters on most poles. 0.66 x 74 million voters is too painful to think about.
