John Lewis said about my inauguration, "It will be the first one that I've missed." WRONG (or lie)! He boycotted Bush 43 also because he...




Drumpf, the GOP, and the Deplorables have declared war on us if it's not freaking obvious by now. They want us defeated, degraded, dispirited, and probably dead. There are only two options: fight or flight !

This is our country, goddammit. Fight, fight, fight.

Resist this asshole.

Be omnipresent and so annoying they can't get anything done. Be right there in their faces at all times.

Some members of the Black Caucus decided to boycott Inauguration Day; John Lewis, for instance, spent the day in his Atlanta district. He thought it would be hypocritical to attend Bush's swearing-in because he doesn't believe Bush is the true elected president.

The guy who squeaked in under dubious circumstances, who lost the popular vote and whose electoral win was open to serious questions about partisan interference in the process.

Who, instead of governing from the center after an underwhelming victory, jumped with both feet into pushing a wish-list of conservative/RW pet projects. And surrounded himself with people who were so damn cocksure they knew better than anyone else they dismissed threats and reduced our ability to detect and counter threats before they happened.

And once something did happen, something YUGE, used it as an opportunity to launch another pet project, an unrelated war.

That guy?

The peaceful transition of power is a sight to behold. That being said Drumpf is a radical departure and there is no way I would attend his Inauguration.
