WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden heralded the restoration of respectful republican governance Wednesday, simultaneously paying tribute to the power of American democracy and warning that its survival is tenuous.
In an inaugural address short on specifics and long on calls for solidarity, the newly sworn-in 46th commander-in-chief promised, as presidents do, to be a leader for all Americans - those who voted for him and those who did not.
Two aspects of Biden's appeal made it uniquely authentic to him: context and consistency. The speech was elegantly humble in delivering a single, inoffensive thought into the collective conscience of the nation: Biden wants unity.
Biden's message Wednesday, delivered in his plain-spoken style, tracked with his repeated election-year pledge to view political opponents as friends who disagree.
Whatever the fate of his presidency, Biden started off with a basic premise about what it means for the problems afflicting the country.
"To overcome these challenges, to restore the soul and to secure the future of America requires so much more than words," he said. "It requires the most elusive of all things in a democracy: unity."
For one day, at least, much of Washington seemed ready to give him that.

There is no version of this under which this usurper is my leader.
Biden’s plain-spoken appeal for unity might be contagious in a new Washington.............................. and pigs might fly out my butt at noon, but I won’t count on it....................
Dream on, oh media asshats.
Your time will come.
And you will not like it at all.
Thanks for the effort that went into posting this but I’ve already reached by BS quota for today. Please try again tomorrow.
NMP
Like the meme said, they weren't after Trump. They were after us, and Trump was in the way.
Might work in Washington, but it ain’t working in the rest of ‘Merica.
Heck, even the people in Seattle and Portland don’t want him!
Oh there’s already plenty of “unity” amongst the Democrats and Rinos apparently..
LOL cause if you Beg for unity and then go on and call 75,000,000 AmeriCANS “white supremacists and Racists” well...
“Biden’s plain-spoken appeal for unity might be contagious in a new Washington”
Theres no way i can digest this article. Im a diabetic and it has too much sugar on it.
Laughing that the author mentioned..”Bidens Appeal”......hahahaha! ...He has none.
To the Left, that means "compliance".
On another note, the FBI arrested Dr. Simone Gold. Yes, she was in the Capitol on January 6, but she also has been an outspoken critic with respect to the Covid vaccine--lets she how she gets treated versus the Antifa punk who was with an embedded CNN reporter.
Wishful delusions on the part of globalists who want no effective opposition. There simply is no reasonable consensus of commonly held values as a basis of true unity. Biden can preach “unity” and much will be made of some “bipartisan” votes but in the end the Biden Administration will be very coercive.
lol
Disgusting how the news networks and authors are trying so hard to convince the public there’s anything appealing about what just took place in the installation of this demented fool and his crime family.
Xiden’s unity will come out of the barrel of a gun.
Unity?
I’m wondering when the turf war starts between the crime families in the District of Corruption. Don’t know if the Clinton crime family or the biden crime family would be the stringer.
Of coarse it will unite Washington. Not so much the rest of the country.
FU NBC-Goebbels.
