First lady Melania Trump did not write her own "thank you" notes to the White House residence staff who have cared for her and her family for the last four years, according to two sources with knowledge of the notes and Trump's handling of them.
The 80 or so staff who received the type written notes were under the assumption the first lady had written them herself. Instead, Trump tasked a lower-level East Wing staffer with writing them "in her voice," and she signed her name.
Where are you streaming coverage if you don't have a TV provider? CNN, MSNBC, PBS, C-Span all want me to sign in with my TV provider after about 10 minutes. This is 2021! I don't have a TV provider!
There’s a Biden inauguration YouTube channel that you should be able to watch for free. I’m probably going to pay for sling for a month so I can watch msnbc.

I am so excited that this day is finally here! Work has been crazy lately but I'm hoping I will be able to watch when Biden & Harris are sworn in. Just a few more hours to go!!
Trumper neighbor has her American flag out. I rooted around and found mine and put it out, as are the other neighbors who are excited for today. I'm sure it pisses her off. LOL!

Dan Rather: “We will be back in some form ... Have a good life, we will see you soon." - Trump ends his presidency with a word salad befitting an incoherent Magic 8 Ball.

"Have a good life" is what the ultimate junior high insult was. I can't stop laughing at it.

Thanks for the reminder. I had thought about it yesterday, but completely forgot about it in my excitement today.

OK, where are you all watching commentary? I have it on CSPAN which is just a silent stationary camera. BBC news isn't functioning here at the moment, not on my tv nor on my laptop.
My Malay/Indian friend and I sent a cheers picture to his Indian mum saying it's a proud day, and cheers to Kamala Devi Harris. Also, I randomly found an Indian restaurant that delivers; it was listed as Arabic on my (kinda like ubereats) app. My paneer masala was delicious. Kheer will be dessert. I also did have some middle eastern food in my order. Why not?! I didn't find good ice cream. I'll make my Caribbean food tomorrow.
Oddly when I woke up today, I came out of a dream where I was teaching someone about Victor Hugo, Les Mis, La Boheme and Rent. Les Mis has been my earworm, and I don't even know that musical that well. My brain was predictive. Then I watched the Corden One Day and got so excited! Day was more afternoon and well into nighttime, but no complaints here!

I watched his departure replay on YouTube. Had to see the loser board M1 to believe it really happened. I remember watching the Obamas board 4 years ago and feeling nauseous when the propellers started to turn. But this time I just breathed a sigh of relief. He’s really gone!!

I'm watching the Today Show. IDK if that's an option for you.
I can't stop laughing at Air Force One taxiing out to My Way. He really does live in an alternate reality.
That same song was played at the inaugural ball in 2017. Totally ruined a great song for me.
I refuse to allow him to ruin songs for me.
After a brief moment of annoyance, that he tried to make good songs be all about him, I laugh at the absurdity that he thinks he owns everything, and let myself enjoy the song. I have been known to change the channel to something that I enjoy, and crank up the songs so that I can have a picture in my head of something other than his orange face.

I haven't read through the first page yet, but I wanted to say that I woke up at 4am and couldn't get back to sleep. Like it is freaking Christmas morning or something.
Are the women all wearing purple on purpose? Jill, Michelle, and HRC are all in purple
Unity color? Red + blue?
I don't know if thats why but its what I thought of.
That was my thought. I believe HRC wore purple for her concession speech. Just happened to notice it and I feel like it’s like a wedding where you talk about and coordinate.
