have been allowed to run - guilty as hell. They were VERY nice to her. She lost because she campaigned in the wrong states - no enthusiasm

If Donald Trump can't even manage to be a gracious winner*, you've got no obligation to be gracious in defeat.

Or do show up to the inauguration wearing all black like you're at a funeral.

Because technically, you are.



*By electoral technicality and via Russian interference.

and go shopping and for a walk in the woods. That would redirect the attention from Trump to the Clintons causing Trump to piss himself.

Why congratulate piss boy don and shake his hand (ewwww) when he is a fascist asshole that takes every opportunity to dig at you in a public forum? Be is the Clintons or the Obamas or Democrats in general.

There is no requirement for them to attend. All final votes on republican Bills on the floor of House or Senate should be met with votes of "abstain" and republicans should be forced to own their decisions.

I see no need for her to have to suffer thru that freakshow. Bad enough that the Obamas and Bidens have to be there. Joe should wear his Presidential Medal of Freedom.

he will get angrier and angrier as the occasion goes on.

He's thin-skinned. Did you know that? (/s)

This thought occurred to me this morning: I seriously think that he will interrupt his acceptance speech tweet storm and call for federal marshals* to place her under arrest, right there on the spot.

Yes, really. Just imagine that visual.

* Not "martial," and not "marshall" either.

Democrats have just got to get over this notion that Trump is politics/government as usual.

It isn't.

And behaving and acting as it is only enables and perpetuates the acceptance of Trumpism.
