I'm not looking forward to this, not because of Joe Biden, but years of gombeen nonsense ahead from the likes of Ballina, Irish media, RTE"s Brian o Donavan, exploding in excitement and various Irish politicians falling over themselves to get to Washington for vomit enducing photo ops.

I have a solution for you - don't watch it. Imagine all the things you could get done with the time you'd save whinging about it.

Dunno where you heard that. The charges against several of them are specifically for conspiracy, the planning and organising charge. And the woman who was shot was a former Capitol riot response officer.

? An actual insurrection is not a few people it's an army. 1916, now there's an insurrection. A few weirdos in Washington is not an insurrection in my book anyway.

Also, other channels are available.

When RTE goes into paddywhackery mode, channel up...

Thought Biden's speech was great. Not quite as great as some of the crying from Trumpers in this thread so far, but that's on a whole other level. Off to therapy with ye, folks. Donald is gone. it's over.

Biden was as boring and uninspiring as Trump was idiotic and infuriating imo. We were truly spoilt with OBamas public speaking ability.

Ireland as whole will be prostrate when the official visit is laid on for later this year. It'll be appalling!

That ****e sickens me! Lad on the news had to just say "I know him personally"

At the same times you have the locals in Doonbeg saying Trump is welcome any time no matter what.

Then in 2016 we had articles all over the papers about Pences roots.

Its less ridiculous for Biden i think, he's very vocal about his Irish roots. It was embarrassing with Obama etc and resembled the British and their "Special Relationship" $hite.

Good luck with "unining the nation" uncle joe.

I thought Biden gave a great speech there. Nice to see a bit of normality and competence back in the white house.
American in general go overboard with the greatest democracy in the world schtick, but I thought Biden got the tone just right in terms of hope with realism.

Loved the fact that Trump didn't get a mention...

Tell me how

If Biden accepts gay marriage, abortion, then he doesn't adhere to Catholic beliefs.

You're stuck in the last century boyo.

Biden is about as inspiring as a block of cement and is not the man that has the ability to unite America. However, if him being President does good things for Irish American relations then it is a win for us

Jesus could come to America with Mohammed as his sidekick and he wouldn't unite America. Nobody could do that. But Biden shouldn't be too polarising at least

Now I expect China will take back Taiwan with America's blessing. And we won't hear another word about the genocide of the Uyghars.

Heard much about it for the last 4 years?

I’ve been watching since ten to four and you know what I can’t believe I’m saying this but fair play to Mike pence for turning up. Lady gaga did a good anthem which can be over the top at times. I’ve no idea what J-Lo said in Spanish but she gave it welly after it.

I had only said the same about Pence to my missus. No matter what we may think of him it took a decent amount of bottle for him to show up like that. He put himself into an impossible position in fairness but he had the courtesy to be the bigger man in this case.

Pence might be a dope but he’s still statesmanlike.

The current Trump v Biden thread is approaching 10k posts. A dedicated thread may be required if there is significant trouble surrounding the inauguration itself.

Going forward we already have a new thread on Trump. This thread is to discuss Biden, not Trump. It's to cover his first 100 days and beyond.

Anyone making references such as "Sleepy Joe" and the like will be threadbanned in addition to possible further sanction. There is no need for any of that sort of stuff - this is to discuss his presidency. His policies. His interactions with Congress, the Senate, State Governors, other Governments. It's not to discuss the likes of Hunter Biden. Keep this thread clean from all that other crap.

But it was okay to call trump everything under the sun for the last 4 years and accuse him of everything on the trump presidency thread ????????????????

Why, are there credible links which assert that Biden has dementia?

Probably more people took part in the DC 'insurrection' than the rising in Dublin

Just so long as he gets rid of the insufferable fellow that hangs around with 4/5 cousin I don't care.
