What "symbolic" event do you look forward to ...

[NanceGreggs]

… after President Biden is in power?

My pick: The celebrations that will ensue as the ‘wall’ around the WH is removed.

I imagine it being like the way people reacted when the Berlin Wall was dismantled – celebrating the removal of a symbol of divisiveness.

It will also be a reminder to Trump-humpers that their Fearless Leader needed to protect himself from the citizenry, while President Biden requires no such “protection”.

1. Whatever event brings former Presidents back and hopefully doesn't include the shitstain

But actually, a lot of things probably wont happen , at least not as usual until we can get some control over the virus.

But I will just be happy with all the "normal" stuff also like real press breifings .

[LizBeth]

2. Can you imagine? I hadn't thought of that but all the stuff we have missed out of that I just took

for granted but was always good to see. The Easter egg hunt. Obama with Halloween. Not that I paid a lot of attention, but I would always see mention and pictures and Obama and Michelle's huge welcoming smile.

[Nevilledog]

3. The beheading of his predecessor.

You didn't specify we couldn't come up with a new symbolic event.

[NanceGreggs]

5. LOL!

I LOVE it!!!

The French gave us Lady Liberty - maybe they have some old guillotines laying around that they'd part with for a song.

[jmowreader]

15. IIRC the French only have one guillotine remaining

It is in the National Museum.

I know the Canadians have one in their museum, for whatever reason.

Fortunately, guillotines are pretty easy to make if you've got a table saw, a router and something that'll cut inch-thick steel.

[NanceGreggs]

17. I'm pretty sure ...

... you can buy one on eBay.

It may not pass Antique Roadshow provenance criteria, but it will do the job.

[A HERETIC I AM]

18. If you can go for 3/4" Cold Rolled, then a Cincinnati 750HSX12 will do the trick.

[jmowreader]

29. 3/4" will be fine

All you really need is weight; I figure 100 pounds total mass of the blade and carrier will be sufficient to slice through the necks of even the most corpulent members of Trump’s inner circle.

Given that, we might be better off with hanging. That’s how the war criminals of World War II were dealt with.

[A HERETIC I AM]

37. Well, 3/4" plate will weigh in about 30 Lbs to the square foot, so it won't be a problem!

That kind of steel will hold a nice edge, too!

[herding cats]

10. 🤣🤣

Umm, what you said!!

[Cha]

19. ROFL! I've been getting into

gallows humor which I never did before.

[canetoad]

4. Purely symbolic

I'd like to see an official repudiation of almost everything he has done on the House or Senate floor. I'm not wording this well and don't know how it would come about but the condemnation of his administration should be written into the history of the US in burning words.

[Hekate]

14. I wish that as well

[True Blue American]

24. Burn every EO

Trump signed, or use a shredder. National Shredder day like local cities have at the Government building.

[SeattleVet]

6. The symbolic fumigating of the White House

following the symbolic dragging out by the collar the current resident.

[NanceGreggs]

12. I agree.

The 'fumigating of the WH' should be covered by the MSM.

[True Blue American]

26. This would work for me.

[Vivienne235729]

7. I look fwd to the redecorating of the oval office.To get rid of that stupid Andrew Jackson portrait

[csziggy]

36. President Biden can do that the day he has the official portraint of President Obama hung

In place of the Andrew Jackson portrait. That would be the perfect move to make.

[No Vested Interest]

8. I look forward to Dr. Jill Biden as First Lady and hostess. She is so gracious and warm and smart.

What a refreshing change that will be. She is such an asset to Joe.

I understand that she expects to continue her work in education.
That will be an interesting balancing act, but, if anyone can do it, she will!

[CTyankee]

32. I have often said this. She's the "Central Casting" pick of the olden days movie.

Nowadays, it's Michelle and Jill!

[herding cats]

9. Judge me as shallow, but I miss the WH corespondent dinner.

It used to be a coming together of press and politicians in a humorous setting. I enjoyed it. I miss those days.

[NanceGreggs]

11. Good pick! n/t

[True Blue American]

25. Republicans ruined that when they invited Paula Jones.

Obama made it great again.

[Hekate]

13. I want that asinine fence gone, too. All the mad king understands is walls, gates, & towers...

All things that exclude people.

Debugging the White House will be private and take longer, but needs to start before the Bidens even move in.

[NanceGreggs]

16. De-bugging the WH ...

... is another thing I'd like to see displayed publicly.

The People should be assured that under a Biden administration, no Putin listening devices still exist within OUR house.

[Hekate]

34. Yes, you are right about that...

I was thinking old-diplomacy, but what Putin has done is declare war on us and it needs to be seen.

[Tanuki]

20. The unveiling of the official White House portrait of President Obama

[NanceGreggs]

21. GREAT PICK!!! n/t

[rpannier]

22. Trump skulking away in the middle of the night

[Hamlette]

23. betsy de vos being replaced.

[JHB]

27. Trump's impotent "Hillary debate" fuming at the inauguration...

...or his absence. Just as good.

[MyOwnPeace]

28. Hillary sitting in the front row

behind Joe as he's being sworn in!


And of course, a LARGER crowd than BunkerBoy's at the inauguration!!!!!!!!

[jmowreader]

30. Right after Vice President Biden becomes President Biden...

I want the Chief Justice to lay the Bible on the podium and pick up one of those replica Constitutions the National Archives sells for $12. Then I want President Biden to place his left hand on the Constitution, raise his right, and swear this oath: “I am an American and a President. I am not a king, dictator or tyrant. I will not use executive orders and permanent “acting” officials in an attempt to run the United States of America without any input from Congress. So help me God.”

[Tommy_Carcetti]

31. "So help me God."

That.

Also, Justice Bader Ginsberg finally being able to announce a well-earned retirement.

[malaise]

33. You're Fired drinks at bars

everywhere

[jmowreader]

38. What should be in such a preparation?

The first thing that comes to my mind is 2 oz Stoli pepper vodka and 4 oz tonic water, plus a dash of Angostura bitters. Garnish with a slice of onion.

[malaise]

40. I may opt for a Scotch Bonnet hot Bloody Mary

heavy on the lime and Worcester Sauce with a nice stick of celery

[Greybnk48]

35. The Biden/Harris inauguration crowd size!

I'll bet Biden's is waaaaaaay bigger than Trump's.

[jmowreader]

39. Yeah, but that'll be the secondary crowd

The primary crowd will surround the White House with baseball bats, 2x4s, axes, chain saws, ropes, pulaskis and whatever other large heavy implements they can find, ready to enter the facility at 12:05 pm if Trump refuses to leave on his own.
