Friends, we fucking made it. I am halfway through a bottle of champagne and I am feeling GOOD.
And we’re back in the Paris Accord! Mask mandate on federal property! Increasing support for underserved communities (I don’t have details on this one yet, I hope it’s not toothless)! No more funding for the stupid border wall! Muslim travel band revoked! Stopping the withdrawal from the WHO! Extending eviction moratorium until March 31st! Extending student loan pause until September 30th! CANCELLED THE FUCKING KESYSTONE XL PIPELINE! Rescinded the fucking stupid and racist 1776 Commission!
I’m sure there’s more, but I’m overstimulated and need a moment.
Talk amongst yourselves, I’m not going to be sober much longer so be forgiving if I ramble.
Also in the spirit of learning new things, please share other drinking salutations in the comments. 🙂
Anybody else having issues with the log in not working? I can stay logged in notifications and this post, but not others?
Should be fixed for you now and I have a lot of codes to upload soon that I hope *fingers crossed* will permanently rectify a lot of these issues so @everyone please let me know of any issues in the meantime.
hey it’s working now! Inauguration miracle!

…speaking of that 1776 bullshit…I believe they already reconfigured the whitehouse.gov site to remove the thing…along with a bunch of other nice touches…like all the pages being available in spanish…& there being a box in the contact form with a selection option for pronouns
…seems like they had a lot of stuff ready to go despite all that shit that got pulled to try & wrongfoot them on the transition
…the sheer competence is making me a little giddy, to be honest
…well, I guess that could be the booze…but the last few years made me drink plenty & giddy wasn’t the word that came to mind?
Yes, sheer competence…that’s the thing! Also, civility. I have been enjoying that as well.
I raise my glass to the early days of a better nation.
Cheers!
I just poured a bourbon and I can feel the tension starting to leave my shoulders and back, ahhhh.
Cheers. One I just read that makes me happy is Covid briefings will resume with real health experts. Just simple common sense is such a breath of fresh air.
Heck, we just had our first press briefing. A real briefing, with questions and answers. By humans, not grotesque caricatures. It’s amazing how something so damn mundane makes me happy.
You really trying to get me drunk Meme?
hey I’m finihshing my second bottle of champagne
don’t judge us inebriated folks
I’m with you, I’ve had 3 margaritas & working on a bottle of wine now! Cheers!
I’m at that stage where sitting upright is hard
A picture spins a thousand words…as the saying goes.
Just saw someone note that it was four years ago today that Spicer went on his insane rant about the inauguration crowd size compared to what Obama drew, all because Trump’s feelings were hurt.
Biden and his people just go — different world, different circumstances, comparisons don’t matter, let’s just adapt and move on. It’s amazing how simple sanity can be so refreshing.
I miss Spicy! Everyone is wondering what will happen to late night TV w/out Trump & friends.
Old drinking salutation: Here’s mud in your eye! Maybe from the navy in the 1930’s?
It’s just so damn nice to have an actual adult in charge of things again.
Biden was not the President I wanted, but in retrospect he may just be the President we need right now.
I can’t believe I agree with this but I do.
I also can’t believe I am saying this but I am…and am glad I am…
148 House Representatives and 9 senators aside, please accept this Canadian “sorry” for my “you might as well wipe your ass with the constitution at this point” take in its sincerity.
Same. I’m not sure any of the others could have beaten Trump. Which was the most crucial part. The fact that he’s making the right moves now is a bonus.
Could Biden be trolling Trumpers w/ all the rappers & songs in Spanish? Just a little? You know all the big names are killing him!
Don’t forget the bust of Cesar Chavez in the Oval Office! Socialists!
speaking of busts… was there ever any clarification of that moving day pic where it looked like someone was removing Lincoln’s bust?
Reading your happy cheersing comments has got me cracking open a can of sparkling wine. Prost!
I should have had the foresight to request today and tomorrow off from work. Haven’t really had any time to keep up with the news and such, just checked headlines a couple times to see what happened in regards to the supposed Crowd-Sourced-Coup, Round Two. I probably won’t have time to check up on things, watch vids, read stuff, etc., until this weekend, but, fuck am I glad we’ve finally transitioned…
its proost! over here (pronounced prohst)
anywhos….im slightly hungover..i actually have 2 stupid presentations to sit through today…and a performance review…wooo!
dunno how these people expect me to get anything done when they keep filling up my days with all this useless shit…
oh also i need to go talk to the HR woman and get the company to pay up for new workboots… mine are dead now ( i need at least 2 pairs….my feet are precious little flowers that need a little variety to be truly happy and productive…ive decided)
at least its almost friday
Working just a bit hungover today (Thursday), and happy to do so, frankly. Because I’m a patriot that way.
