A great day moving from a bitter, hate filled, divisive leadership to a new hopeful (hopefully) far better leadership. At home watching the inauguration on TV, I stood during the singing of ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ because I am proud to be an American, but I am [also] an embarrassed and ashamed American. Ashamed at too much of our leadership that has acted in disgrace, even criminally but most certainly in the most shameful, self-serving manner instead of in the best interest of our country and its citizenry. This is not merely a result of the last presidency but a culmination in the last several decades of the radicalization of a political party that gave way to the criminal, autocratic want to be, at times psychotic former presidency.
