At least Putin won't be in town as the "guest of honor". I keep hoping that the blue wave will be a tsunami and that this parade is rained out due to the "blue flood" left by the midterms. It will be a giant embarrassment similar to "the largest inauguration crowd since the dawn of man". I hope the blue wave has sharks in it...he is terrified of them.🌊🌩
