    @Horace

    One of the more interesting moments I caught at the inauguration was when the black preacher gave his "let freedom ring" speech, in typical black preacher cadence, dialed up to 11…..

    Actually I found it the most annoying of moments of today’s drama.

    Much prefer the more tranquil and far more spiritually directed message/benediction delivered by the RC priest.

    The preaching wasn't the interesting part, it was the reaction of Biden and Kamala in the background, in the context of the thunderous applause.

      I could care less how they reacted. I imagine though it was like fingernails on a chalk board to anyone’s ears in the room. Most annoying.

        @Renauda Apparently it's a mode of performative communication that plays well with certain significant cultures in the US, and those cultures were represented at the inauguration, at the invitation of Trump. I appreciate that aspect.

          NPR was going on today about how Trump is popular with WHITE evangelical Christians. Somehow they neglected to mention he's pretty popular among black ECs too. The condescension toward those of faith fairly dripped from their words.

            Hilary Clinton was outwardly laughing at some of the ridiculous things he proposed.

            Still, the Rotunda speech was better than his mostly(?) unscripted, rambling, rather smug, lie-filled second speech. He's a convicted felon so no surprises.

            I sincerely hope his actions do help your country and improve all of your lives. It's a second and highly significant chance to do good; his place in history is already assured, fingers crossed it will read well.

              Yes, that would explain why I cannot appreciate it. No wonder it seemed quite alien to me.

                    The renaming stuff is symbolic, and imo a complete waste of time.

                        The cost to rename 9 Confederacy-honoring Army bases has doubled

                        The Army expects to pay $39 million, said Lt. Gen. Kevin Vereen, Army deputy chief of staff for installations. In 2022, the congressionally-mandated Naming Commission estimated it would cost $21 million to rename the nine Army installations.
