Good song-choice from JLo although I prefer the Bruce Springsteen version

I don't think America the Beautiful has ever had such meaning for me. "This land was made for you AND me!"
I don't know how everyone in that audience isn't ugly crying right now. I am, and I am sitting at home watching! lol

The Trumpers are going to be pissed over the Spanish language inclusion. They must be furiously typing on Signal and Telegram as we speak...

Bawling my eyes out. Kamala is the one who did it. Seeing her husband hold the Bible did it for me.

I love that someone is wiping down the podium between speakers. It is so nice to see responsible adults again.

BBC commentator just said it's ten to midday, so technically not President until midday hence the pause.

Can't believe he's actually the US President now. Felt like Trump would forever be there...

Re Cruz being there, he can't argue he doesn't recognise the result of the election since he attended the inauguration without complaint. I think it would lessen him with the people he would hope to bring to his side in any future campaigning.

So so happy to have a humane, intelligent, presidential president again. And to have a highly competent VP that represents so many firsts π
Not a fan of Lady Gaga's look for the event. This isn't about her; I think she should have toned it down some. JLo was perfect - her style and no one would accuse it of being understated, yet appropriate for an occasion where she is a supporting character, not the main attraction.

I'll have to catch VP being sworn in later.. but was able to turn it on when Jennifer Lopez came on... wow.. she was perfection... and yes crying some tears. I pray for some peace....
