Inauguration Day Catch-All | Trump, MAGA furious at bishop calling for compassion & mercy

[farce©]

I'm actually shocked Trump moved the inauguration indoors. It's obviously the right thing to do from a safety perspective, but Trump's never been one to put safety above spectacle. My guess is his team was telling him that with very cold temps, and maybe also just the general exhaustion in the country, the crowds would have been sparse and he would have been mocked for it after the big deal he made about it in 2017. Regardless, though, I'm glad for the people who have to be there that it will be inside.

Nah, these Republicans are lightweights. Reagan and Trump move things indoors when it gets a little cold. The wind chill was in the mid-teens in 1977, but Jimmy Carter held his inauguration outdoors, then walked down Pennsylvania Ave from the Capitol to the White House!

I’ll give Vance the benefit of the doubt, but other than for state funerals, I’m guessing it’s been a decade since any of that crowd has darkened the door of a church.

Fair enough. Maybe his enormous shadow did technically darken the door of that church.

Honestly, if I were a Democratic politician I'd use all this as an excuse to bow out of attending and gladly give my place to a Trumper. Go out and eat a nice lunch somewhere in DC and head for home.

Seems like that would cast a particularly dark shadow.

Hmm...so when does he leave the Democrats and become a Trumplican?

 

[nycfan]

LOL. To the winner go the spoils, though.

She was reportedly furious that the fashion industry snubbed her as FLOTUS in Trump45 — sounds like she may have better luck this time around (though we’ll see about the fashion press).

So many old people. It looks like the lower bowl of Dean Dome.

A historic day for sure.
