    The racist rioters who attacked the Capitol cost all of the businesses in D.C. a fortune this inauguration week, where they normally make a killing catering to all those who would have attended the inauguration.

    Apparently y, Biden wants to take AMTRAC, the train he took from his Delaware home to Washington on a daily basis in order to be with his kids, following his 1st wife's death in an automobile accident (along with his daughter; the boys were injured), as a symbolic gesture. However, it posed security risks - in light of the January 6th attack on the Capitol - and his security people preferred an airplane. Whether or not he requested one from Trump, I don't know, but the story is entirely believable from a person who rejected the tradition of showing up at your successor's swearing in ceremony and a White House tour.

    I think it's safe to say that Trump was known as a poor loser.

    Can you imagine the threads that would have started here attacking Biden for taking up the road and inconveniencing all those ordinary people and using all those vehicles?

    President Biden was glad Trump announced he wouldn't attend the swearing in or do the Tour of a place, he was a VP. for 8 years.

    Nope.
    The fascist Trump supporters surrounded the bus of Biden, and 1 collision with a car got documented.
    Biden than cancelled his appearances due to safety concerns.
    Seems your facts are mixed and are more sleepy than sleepy Joe.

    It's simply due to white fascists that he couldn't use the Amtrak like before.
    He can't go by bus either.

    Maybe you noticed 25.000 soldiers were needed for a "public" appearance, in order to protect Biden against the violent white GOP.

    I did. The Chinese leaders use the same tactics. The military has to protect them from their own people too.

    The Chinese leaders weren't voted in by majority and aren't threatened by a small group of violent predominantly white fascists.

    You're right it wasn't just a majority. It was unanimous...

    On 17 March 2018, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, was unanimously re-elected as the President of the People's Republic of China and the Chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Li Zhanshu was elected as the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.

    Gosh... the unity there....

    Well, I looked at what the US judges had to say about the elections. I looked at what the people said in the Capitol. And they all agreed... Biden got his majority.
    No white fascists capitol storming terrorist was able to change that.

    All that changed was that Biden could no longer use the Amtrak for his own safety, thanks for fake news believing violent GOP supporters.
    I have yet to hear from GOP supporters that they don't support that kind of terrorist. I'm not seeing any marches against that.
