Biden will “be joined by President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, President George W. Bush and Laura Bush, and President Bill Clinton and Secretary Hillary Clinton.”
…the Bidens will receive a presidential escort from 15th Street to the White House after his swearing-in on the West Front of the Capitol. The escort will include representatives of every branch of the military, including the U.S. Army Band, a Joint Service Honor Guard, and the Commander-in-Chief’s Guard and Fife and Drum Corps from the 3rd U.S. Infantry “The Old Guard.”
Former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will join President Joe Biden at Arlington National Cemetery for a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier after Biden’s swearing-in next week.
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will lay the wreath after they take the oath of office and conduct a Pass in Review inspection of the troops at the Capitol on Jan. 20, Biden’s inaugural committee announced Monday. The ceremony will be one of Biden’s first official acts as the new commander in chief….

The inauguration is expected to be covered live by every major news network, including ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS, CNN, and MSNBC. Many of them will also offer livestreams of coverage on their websites. C-SPAN will also stream the event online, and on the day of the inauguration, we will update this post with a feed…
Everything is subject to change….

Thanks Z….
I put this together ….
Reports are the FBI us double checking the backgrounds on the National Guard soldiers in the Wash DC operation for any that might have domestic terror clues…
With the fortress now built in DC, my guess is that the biggest treat for right wing terrorists will be in the state capitals – in particular MI, WI, PA, GA, AZ and maybe TX.
Agreed Z…
Trump plans to leave in dramatic fashion yet continues to stay out of sight
The president is set to depart Washington early morning Wednesday morning ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s swearing-in, making him the first president in over 150 years to skip the inauguration of his successor in a ceremonial transfer of power.
Sources familiar with the planning tell ABC News he wants to have a military-style sendoff from Joint Base Andrews Wednesday morning, complete with a military band and a red-carpet walk flanked by troops as he boards Air Force One for the last time, and even possibly a flyover by Air Force fighter jets….

How about the Rogue’s March (which I’m sure Pershing’s Own the President’s Own and the Navy Band know how to play) instead, richly embedded as it is with its own kinds of tradition?
After a Hispanic Muslim Marine barber shaves Trump’s head, Gen. Milley, gathered with all the Joint Chiefs, tears off Donald Trump’s lapels, slices off his buttons with a sword, turns his coat inside-out and then smashes The Football with a sledgehammer in front of a Dishonor Guard of troops and high-school ROTC cadets with their rifles pointed upside-down.
Then Trump is drummed off Federal property for the last time while each unit, in turn, ceremonially turns its backs on him as he is drummed off Federal property for the last time towards a slow Trailways bus headed for Florida on local, non-Federal roads.
Biden has just boarded his aircraft for the trip to Wash DC…..
Biden and Harris going to the Lincoln Memorial for a tribute to the victims of the Covid virus in a little while….
Trump ignored them…
