I remember when I was five years old and in a sort of nursery school while my parents were downstairs in church. All we did was play with toys. Anyhow, this one boy said lay down on my back like he was doing and look up. I did it and looked up a babysitter's dress. I had no idea what I was looking at but I was curious about what the big deal was. I had no idea what his fascination was no matter how hard I tried to understand. I thought to myself "Yeah, what about it?"

Mr. Vice President, that little boy was me!

“This assault happened on Donald Trump’s watch when he wasn’t watching,” Mr. Biden said at a year-end news conference in Wilmington, Del. “Even if he doesn’t take it seriously, I will. I’m disappointed by the response of President Trump.”
He added, “This president hasn’t even identified who is responsible yet” and said that Mr. Trump’s “failure will land on my doorstep” next year when he takes office.

Mr. Biden noted with frustration that “the Defense Department won’t even brief us,” a reference to transition meetings that the acting defense secretary, Christopher Miller, canceled last week for the holidays, falsely claiming it was a mutual decision to do so. But he noted that “leaders in both parties in Congress” condemned Russia for the hack.

Mr. Trump has remained out of sight in the days ahead of Christmas, nursing grievances about his election loss and saying little about the Russian hack, the stimulus bill, or even the rollout of a vaccine his advisers want him to take credit for.

Mr. Biden stepped into that void on Tuesday, calling the $900 billion coronavirus relief package a “down payment” on a bigger bill, and exhorting Congress to return to the negotiating table while urging Americans to take precautions to avoid taking part in holiday gatherings that could lead to a new spike in infections.

“Congress did its job this week,” he said. “I can and I must ask them to do it again next year,” he added, referring to more congressional stimulus spending to combat the coronavirus.

Mr. Biden said he planned to put forward to Congress in the new year a plan that would include more funding to help firefighters, police and nurses, as well as to expand testing. He said his bill would include a new round of stimulus checks to Americans, but he said how much would be a matter of negotiation.

His focus, he said, was to have the money necessary to distribute the vaccine to 300 million people, to provide aid to Americans whose businesses have been shuttered because of the virus and to place a moratorium on evictions.

“People are desperately hurting,” he said. Ahead of Christmas, and the potential gatherings that may lead to more spikes in virus cases, Mr. Biden also warned Americans that “our darkest days are ahead of us, not behind us.”

Mr. Trump intends to sign the funding bill. But he has otherwise chosen to play a minor role in the midst of a major national crisis — consumed by conspiracy theories aboout election fraud at a moment when the daily death toll of the pandemic routinely exceeds the number of Americans killed in the Pearl Harbor attack.

On Tuesday, he unleashed a familiar fusillade of false claims about the 2020 election on Twitter, interrupted by one post on the virus — a boast about “the great miracle of what the Trump Administration has accomplished” on vaccines.

I wanted to insert this piece to remind me how stupid & irrelevant Trump is and set it as a future reference comparison to the noble character of Joe Biden.

I think the law is ready for anything. News reporters say it's extremely difficult to get withing several blocks of either the White House or the Capitol building. Did you know there are 25,000 troops ready to go in Washington D.C.? And this doesn't even count all the various law enforcement immediately available. And of course, the Secret Service will fight to the death to defend.
I predict that nothing like what happened on January 6 will occur on inauguration day, not even close.

I think this request had no input from Kamala so I don't see what her choice in shoes has to do with it.

Well we obviously didn't think anything like what happened on January 6th could ever happen either.

So? It still has nothing to do with the pearl necklaces.
I would heartily recommend the Chuck Taylor's for a separate thread,
