and wants nothing more to do with anybody associated with politics other than her own husband.

We’ve got better things to do!
I remember how that dotard’s mouth tried to discredit your husband’s birth. I wouldn’t want to sit near him either!
Enjoy your peaceful day!

Slop the chickens, churn the Mueslix, check for spores, hang out the brick brack, sort some poof… A busy day, indeed.

Then rewatching S3 of Bridgerton after we get high.

Yes, it sounds as if you have a busy day as well.

No one should normalize his "presidency". No on should attend or participate. Dems please give back what the Magats always shell out.

Will be a farce, we all know he will be lying when he takes the oath, and the assault on America will begin. Why anyone other than repubs will attend is beyond me. Because it's the norm, the way it's always been done, isn't a valid excuse. This isn't the normal transition.

NONE of them should do. This is not normal, and they shoyldn't normalizing it.

For alerters: I am supporting Dems and democracy. But my opinion is no Democrats, especially Biden, Harris, the Clintons, etal should go.

Good for her.

I wish I could be hiking the Appalachian Trail then, but it's been a tad cold lately.

Looks like freezing temps will ruin the inauguration.

single digits and freezing rain.

He hasn't made even a thoughtful comment about felon47. He's a member of the go along to get along club.

more than a farce? Let Putin and Musk attend. They purchased the presidency for him.

He along with every other living former president will attend.

I do not hold Mrs. Obama accountable for opting out of attending Trump's second inauguration. In fact I support her decision. I anticipate, however, that the GOP and other right-wing media outlets will likely exploit this situation to the fullest extent possible. This would underscore their hypocrisy, given their lack of criticism when Trump and his entire family chose not to attend Biden's inauguration.

Only one with backbone!

next to the sociopath.

More Democrats should use her as an example.

you get a warm feeling out of it.

The funny thing is all the MAGAs watched Biden's because they thought he was going to be arrested halfway through. Morons.

realized that taking the high road may not be the thing to do when dealing with liars, bullies, felons, and seditionist a$$holes.

Good for her.

I only wish the Bidens would leave the White House doors locked and unattended for Trump, just as Trump did for them. Karma.

She’s not a hypocrite and refuses to be complicit in normalizing him

I just hadn't heard anything.

If President Obama was there too, he decided it was important enough to come back

Sorry for shouting, but after reviewing Jack Smith's report, the frustration and disgust that has been boiling inside me since the election has become too much. I'm reminded of the 1948 fact-based novel, Cry, the Beloved Country. In that book South African Alan Paton attacks his country's apartheid government and predicts its eventual downfall. Unfortunately, Paton died in 1988, so he didn't live to see Nelson Mandela return from prison and be elected President of South Africa six years later.

The title of Paton's book captures my feelings well. The country that we have loved has been hijacked by a criminal cult, and half of the American people have approved the takeover by electing an evil dictator to return to the White House.

Trump is using the presidency to escape spending the rest of his miserable life in prison while Mandela did it the the other way around. He led a courageous moral fight against the neo-Nazi apartheid regimes of South Africa and was sent to prison for it. But, eventually, he returned to become president of the evil country that had oppressed him and the rest of the nonwhite majority.

And now here we are, with America's first Black president about to sit on the same platform with the MAGA cult leader and racist as he once again swears an oath he has mocked over and over and over again. I will never forgive Barack or any other Democrat who attends and watches this farce scheduled for Martin Luther King Day. Yes, cry the beloved country, cry the beloved country indeed.

Of all people, the giggling mass murderer, why not trump?

Both mass murderers have no respect for the constitution. Baby bush couldn't find time to condemn drumpf.

I think the dry drunk bush has a higher body count, and is definitely a war criminal.

It's one big club, we ain't in it, and they continually rub our faces in that fact. Drumpf is a threat to the country and democracy, but lets invite him to the White House, smile shake his hand and legitimize him to the world and show the voters how weak or fake or both we are in the face of a clear and present danger. No demand for recounts or anything. No investigation into Election Day domestic terrorist bombings. Nothing, but giggles all around.

It's all so disgusting to watch.

I watched her speeches during the run up to the election, and she was on fire. You don't go from speaking so much truth to power to smiling as if everything is OK.

I will never get over the fact that trump was not held accountable by our doj under a Democratic president, and I will never forgive the American people who voted to beat ourselves and our neighbors up.

It makes no sense! F everyone involved.

My hope is that other Democrats follow her lead in not honoring the felon. He is a fascist who does not deserve the respect of We The People.

suffer FOOLS.

By his own example, he gave anyone that wants to opt out, a perfect excuse for doing so.
