Jimmy Carter is still chugging along at 96! Although too frail and ill to attend apparently.


There was a fascinating documentary about him and his love of music on Sky Arts (now a freeview channel).

He's the only president to have survived forty years after his inauguration.

Even more astonishingly, he's reached the age of 96 having lost his three younger siblings and both his parents to pancreatic cancer.

He took the oath at 11:48, and spent the entire speech kicking trumpy-wumpy.

Excellent use of the time.


Absolutely, but nice and subtlely too.

Was pleasing to hear him speak strongly about the need for social equality, when we know the agenda has been the opposite for the past few years.

Came at it from a few angles too.

Lots of talk of the unnecessary and unhealthy division, which, as you say, all points in the same direction.

You are wrong. Previous US inaugurations have received the same coverage on UK TV.


I can only guess Monkey Alan was not obsessed enough to watch previously.

Now they want to blame their obsession on the TV channels that force them to watch.

The voters pick the candidate, not the parties. Clearly the American people trend towards old geezers.


Upvoted to counterbalance the rampant ageism that Phil continues to ignore.

I wonder what Trump put in his letter to Biden? I reckon it was a large drawing in crayon of a body part.

Is he poorly? As far as I understood it his absence was merely a precaution owing to his age and the current circumstances.

Is it traditional to leave a letter?

I hadn't realised if I'm honest.

I would hazard a guess it would be written for him, otherwise yes, it would be along the lines of some cave painting I would think.

Neither did I but apparently it is. What isn’t tradition is for the Vice President to do it, but Sky said that Pence did that for Harris.

Mainly precautionary, but he has had quite a bit of (successful) cancer treatment in the last few years.

Definitely aiming at Trump but also generally divisiveness amongst the people?

There is more to US issues than just DT. Media spin has certainly not helped douse the tensions for either side of the politics at times, besides the usual loons.

I just think the media and Americans in general need to accept there's two sides to any 'argument' or debate, and violence is wrong. Albeit in some cases its acceptably inevitable, we should all strive to be better at disagreeing, educating and growing as people. Too much hatred, school ground bullying (particularly stereotyping of political leanings based on a single view) and aggression and little well thought debate on social media, particularly twitter (here on the Brexit debate as well).

A very good speech from someone who Owen Jones described as being barely sentient.

Oh that's interesting.

I hope it was complimentary. A positive piece of history happening there.

Putting her skin shade to one side, which will upset the usual type, that she is also a woman will be too much for some to bear.

great speech. an incredibly positive moment. absolutely huge.

but given that the people on the stage are the democrats who get how serious the pandemic is - why do they still not understand social distancing? they've got masks on but they're all on top each other.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Not all arguments are equal.

The media only cares about the goals and motivations of the media.

Sometimes violence is an appropriate response when you're fighting for your very existence.

That's America. You have to get beyond that, trust me.

At least he's not specifying which God.

I assume he's talking about Bobby Robson.

Course they are. They don't usually give a stuff about this American president cr@p. It's never usually covered like this. They are hoping for a story. Because let's face it, Biden isn't a story.

MonkeyAlan is just confused by watching a President (or Prime Minister) not lie, obfuscate, goad, complain, whine, and demonise their way through a speech.
