I was watching live and for a split second I thought it was CGI, special effects...I don't recall such an insane fireworks display like that. LOL, I think the nations stockpile of Fireworks could be 100% depleted right now. (Time to make more before July...no big deal)

You think when Katy Perry began writing a song called firework and thought of the words “do you ever feel like a plastic bag” that she thought one day she’d sing those words at a presidential inauguration

Truth be told, most Americans did feel like a plastic bag these past 4 years so firework was directed towards so many Americans which is why it was the best performance of the day

[@doeliddc6422]

​@@hayleyannelynch It has nothing to do with the American dream. America itself is the land of freedoms (although sometimes it is not). There are the principles of democracy that are spread all over the world today. It is a country that serves as a role model (even if it doesn't do everything right). Besides, it is the most powerful country in the world, which is why I felt it was the greatest shame that someone like Trump could hold such an important office. Biden's inauguration is a relief from all the worries and burdens the whole world had because of Trump

[@noveldixon9963]

Yasssss

[@Sunshinexoxo4795]

a 150 degree about change. Did you notice that the atmosphere feels quite bit at peace and calmer with Trump NOT around no more. Hope he never surfaces ever again. He doesn't realize all the drama and conflict he has imposed on the United States citizens and his staff and a police officer has lost his life and one almost got his head crushed by those animals. Following his orders to go to the Capital. What a sin he has cause. He is liable and should be held accountable for his encouragement in what led up to those events in the riot in the Capital. Had he NOT requested those criminals and others to go, it would of never happened. I t was believed and seen by a police officer that was involved in it said he seen it on line he read it by Trump where to go and what day to do it. He says that is how he found out about it. So he traveled to go just like he said on the advice of Trumps social media account. As we all seen Trump and his close circle adult kids were standing and laughing and cheering on the mob as they watched it on television.
