It gets passionate after all. The emphasis on "truth" among the "objects of our love" was great.

"Objects of our love" is going to cause a few memes tho

Communist China Sentences Journalist Who Reported Government’s Wuhan Virus Malfeasance

https://thefederalist.com/2020/12/28/co ... lfeasance/

Communist China sentenced a citizen journalist who reported on China’s early COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan to four years in prison for “picking quarrels and provoking trouble.” Zhang Zhan shared video footage of overwhelmed hospitals in the virus-stricken city and challenged the state-controlled media’s narrative about the virus, criticizing the Chinese Communist’s Party response to the outbreak.


Gentle reminder that regardless of what you prefer, you will not refer to COVID-19 as such on this site.

How is referring to the virus as the "Wuhan Virus" actionable? It's not like its encouraging people not to engage in basic health and safety precautions.

Absolutely. Using the most famous star from pop music is a mistake. There'd be a hundred opera singers who could do better. Celebrity trumps that apparently.

IIRC, the oath is supposed to be done before noon, because it has to be finished at the point at which he becomes President.
