There are probably some folks who want to come, so now they have seats.
Trump drew crowds before the election ... He still does.
The assholes are going to miss a chance to suck Hillary's cock since somebody invited that cunt and piece of shit husband. Originally Posted by StockingloverSomeone else had the idea ... but an expanded version ....

And in unison ... they all stand up and wave to Bill and say "HI!" Originally Posted by LexusLover

And they're the ones who are now pushing their elected representatives to boycott a Presidential Inauguration, setting yet another sad new low in partisan spitefulness!I did not miss your point, No need to hijack your own post.
Those are just 3 examples, but there are many others. Like I said, the Democrats are LEADING this race to the bottom. Originally Posted by lustylad

The difference is acting like a patriotic adult or a spoiled little brat. Originally Posted by BudmanNo republicans have boycotted any inauguration. There are about 100 lawmakers who miss it because of prior commitments. which seems like a lame excuse.

How can you doubt their "prior commitments"? They would certainly have been there but the Dems didn't pick the inauguration date until the last minute--don't you remember?No, each side doesn't "pull the same crap". Republican lawmakers have never sponsored an organized boycott or publicly urged their members not to attend. Why do you trust Wordup? He doesn't provide a link for his number, nor does he say which inauguration(s) that number refers to. Here is a link wherein the Library of Congress researched the question and determined the only rough precedent was Nixon's second inauguration back in 1973 - when those boycotting were also Democrats.
This is another one of those situations where each side pulls the same crap, but they only gripe about it when the "others" do it. It was wrong for the Reps to have so many important "other commitments" then, and wrong for the Dems to do it now.
