President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill were momentarily left standing in the cold on Inauguration Day after the front doors of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue weren't opened for them – a breach of protocol caused by the firing of the chief usher of the White House hours earlier. With the world watching on, the 46th US President and his wife walked up the steps of their new home for the first time on Wednesday, as a small crowd of family members followed behind. [SNIP] They then embraced one another, before turning to venture on inside. But there was a problem: the doors didn’t open.

I guess that's what happens when you are a senile idiot, and you fire the staff before you figure out how to get in to the house.

This is perfect. Could not happen to a better couple. Are they moving the Oval office to the basement?

Did they expect him to stick around after he was fired???? My guess is they will blame Trump.

He should have locked the doors when he left.
# 4 the article already indicated the position had a political bent to it cause Melania personally hired him ... cause he was especially competent with a great work ethic. Those qualifiers will be lost with this current bunch of buffoons.

First, get used to Dementia Jo's baffled look.
Second, Dementia Jo's handlers will make damned sure that no one in the White House will spread tales about Jo.
That was a mistake on DJT's part.

Nobody needs to spread tales about the guy who stole the election. Just look at him. He can barely speak. Get ready for body doubles and very little interaction with the press.

Another article meant to make Trump look bad?
Here’s the buried story”
However, Harleth wasn’t there to greet the Bidens when they arrived because he had been fired around five hours earlier.
Harleth, the Trumps’ chief usher and a former rooms manager of the Trump International Hotel in Washington, told the New York Times he was moving furniture on Inauguration Day when he was told at 11:30am that his services were no longer needed.
Biden’s aides had reportedly called the White House on Wednesday, saying the incoming president planned to bring in someone else to take over his role.
Biden’s aides caused this. It won’t be their first snafu...

It reminds me of the day congress was breached, The JD & other agencies informed the sergeant of arms in the house & senate beforehand about possible trouble ... they did not want a military presence... so they not only blame Trump they impeach him again...

This actually scares the bejeesus out of me. If the Biden team can't figure out how to open a bloody door, what else will they fail at? Something terrible will happen and its because Biden/Harris have no clue what they're doing. Brace yourselves and God help us all.

The foreign press are going to be merciless. Good!
Can you imagine THAT pitiful old bumbling demented man going up against Putin? "Come on man" and "lying dog face pony soldier" won't cut it. Jill can't be his Edgar Bergen all the time. And some places won't allow ear pieces so his stooges can feed him info.

Re #7, that’s a vacant look. The eyes go lost. The face goes slack. He doesn’t have a plan unless someone puts it in front of him or whispers it in his ear. His executive brain function is going, going, gone…. (look it up if you don’t know what that means). It could affect his speech. Progressive aphasia. The stumbling over words, grasping for words, using wrong words, is first sign. How will they keep the world (and us) from seeing this? I believe the firing of the chief house usher was just a start. They cannot have people around him who observe, understand, and talk. That usher had a strike against him in that he was selected from the Trump hotel by Melania. Biden Inc. would have viewed him as a spy with a straight wire to Trump. Their fraudulent life takes a new turn. It’s called Paranoia.

Earlier in the day someone in Biden's earpiece told him to salute the Marines, and Biden just repeated the words "salute the Marines," because he is so used to just repeating what comes from his earpiece.
The Marines were not saluted.

Appeared to me like Joe opened the door himself.
The former usher should have locked it.
