For context, this picture was taken during the White House holiday tour, Monday, December 20, 2021.
Point stands but this is subtly deceptive to make Biden, et al look worse, they dont need any help in this regard.

No matter what you think of all the other decorations, this video is a clown show, and a waste of taxpayer money. But this is typical Jill MacBeth. The cringe meter broke at the first showing of this video. Jill specializes in cringe.

I wish Trump had the balls to say now is not the time to throw a party, we have too much work to do and will celebrate when we’re done then give the money that would be spent on the fancy inauguration to charity/his agenda, have a short swear-in at a modest location and call it a wrap. Might put a wrench in all the protestors plans as well

I'm in agreement with you. It reminds me too much of King Belshazzar celebrating while the Persians are at the gates... The barbarians are already in our borders.

Speaker Mike Johnson read Thomas Jefferson’s daily prayer to the assembled members of the House on Friday, Jan. 3rd, 2025:
Almighty God, Who has given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. Bless our land with honorable ministry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people, the multitude brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endow with Thy spirit of wisdom those whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to Thy law, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth. In time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Mike Johnson clinches Speakership in stunning first ballot
Johnson referenced Trump’s 2024 electoral win in his acceptance speech on the House floor.
“In recent months, we’ve witnessed something happening, something that’s really remarkable — a political moment in our modern history. A groundswell of Americans from every state, race and religion who now demand that we put the interests of Americans first again,” Johnson said. “And we will.”

216 - 215 Before Trump's phone call.
Trump helped solidify Johnson’s support in the final minutes of the Speaker vote. The president-elect spoke with Norman and Self before they changed their votes in favor of Johnson, sources told The Hill. The man simply doesn't miss a beat!

The certification of Trump’s election win is set to take center stage in Washington on Monday, as lawmakers trudge through the snow to participate in the process that is taking place exactly four years after a violent mob descended on the Capitol and interrupted the procedure.
Despite the inclement weather — which some forecasts say can include up to 10 inches of snow — Congress is still expected to meet to certify the election.
“The House intends to certify President Trump’s election tomorrow as scheduled in accordance with federal law,” Johnson spokesperson Taylor Haulsee wrote in a statement on Sunday.
The House and Senate adopted a concurrent resolution last week that set Jan. 6 as the day Congress would certify the election, in accordance with the Electoral Count Act, which lawmakers passed and Biden enacted in 2022 following the Capitol riot.
Both chambers are scheduled to convene in a joint session at 1 p.m. on Monday, kicking off the quadrennial procedure. Vice President Kamala Harris will preside over the House chamber.
Because that timeline is laid out in federal law, lawmakers would have to pass another law rescheduling the procedure if needed because of the snow. There is some precedent for such a move: In 2013, Congress voted to certify former President Obama’s election victory on Jan. 4 because Jan. 6 fell on a Sunday.
Johnson, however, has indicated that he does not plan to change the date. The Speaker told “Fox News Sunday” “I hope we have full attendance,” noting that GOP leaders encouraged their colleagues to remain in Washington over the weekend because of the forecasts.
