A mere slip of the tongue obviously.

sutherland.pw•136 days ago

It's basically a rerun anyway, could they not just skip filming this one and save a few $?

Schadenfreude well deserved in this case. Has Mr Fats picked his Cabinet yet?

schadenfruede.bsky.social•136 days ago

I’m down with that thought

edwinii.bsky.social•136 days ago

I can’t stomach the thought of watching.

meg-bsky.bsky.social•136 days ago

Yes, but he’ll lie!

shellbelle7.bsky.social•136 days ago

Not watching either..refuse to watch him at all over the next 4 years. I’ll get my news from reliable journalists..hoping mainstream media will finally call it like it is versus sane-washing..

djvagirl.bsky.social•132 days ago

I read everyone needs to turn their TVs on to anything but the inauguration so viewership for inauguration will be compared to other networks.

angeleyes4914.bsky.social•136 days ago

I hope even less than in 2017!

sojournermemoirs.bsky.social•135 days ago

I stand corrected.
Sill bent re: Village People.

sojournermemoirs.bsky.social•135 days ago

eh, disagree.
I'm just fine with petty schadenfreude.

Also: Pretty bent over The Village People genuflecting before the golden fixture.

d-99.bsky.social•136 days ago

Yeah, I think I’m washing my hair that day.

mandertang.bsky.social•136 days ago

Right there with you. I feel like you are either complicit or condoning in participating in anyway. I think the fact that he won should not preclude him from prosecution when his acts are against the people and because it does- holding up tradition is condoning what comes next which breaks the oath.

deanmorrison.bsky.social•132 days ago

So low it's going to be zero on the Mall.

techychik.bsky.social•136 days ago

Be a shame if people ordered tix from their congressional reps...and "lost" them.

ravensfan92b.bsky.social•135 days ago

@amandaknox.com I’m not going to watch the inauguration, I will wait until January 20, 2029.

kbkev.bsky.social•136 days ago

Don't take petty away. It's almost all that's left.

motosunburn.bsky.social•136 days ago

I think it's going to be bigly ignored anyway.

hrlyrdr57.bsky.social•136 days ago

I did my part to make a little tiny dent in the attendance. I ordered 2 tickets to the inauguration just to keep some trumpers from getting them 😂😂😂 Was it petty? Hell yeah it was!

auntnnancy.bsky.social•135 days ago

I promise, I won't be watching.....

aaronstew.bsky.social•136 days ago

Im not watching. First one I’ve not watched my entire life.

nola9.bsky.social•136 days ago

I am petty and will engage.

gargenroo.bsky.social•136 days ago

I hope for historically low turnout and just all around terrible weather in DC on the 20th.

I don’t normally condone schadenfreude but in this instance with Mango Mussolini I’m all for it.

cindic324.bsky.social•136 days ago

It’s going to be cold , very cold

gargenroo.bsky.social•136 days ago

That’s the best news I’ve gotten this week! Now give us some sleet!

cindic324.bsky.social•136 days ago

60% chance of snow Sunday night. He’s having a rally that night too ! Monday looks clear , but very cold

michaelluongo.bsky.social•135 days ago

oh, but don't you love a good horror movie now and then, like the 2017 one he last starred in?

medic8ted.bsky.social•135 days ago

We need one or two people to comment live here so we can see if the troops have been ordered to come kill us all. 🤣

The rest of us can have a luau!

swiftieoverfiftie.bsky.social•136 days ago

There are German words yet to be invented, that I'm going to need to express myself.

william80.bsky.social•135 days ago

We can only hope Amanda, we can only hope. Wait, what - hasn't the claim already been made that it will be the largest since the coronation of Nero in Rome??

nlh2.bsky.social•136 days ago

I am right there with you - no social media, no TV coverage, no cable coverage, etc.

axedame.bsky.social•136 days ago

I like to think of schadenfreude as a victimless crime. 😇

marvinrando.bsky.social•136 days ago

I predict a record crowd at the inauguration…record LOW crowd.

noresponse17.bsky.social•136 days ago

Will peacefully protest in support of US Democracy against projected non-democratic voices and actions 20 January 2025. My TV will not accommodate upcoming presidential inauguration. It would be great to see a record loss of viewing by Nielsen ratings of the inauguration. Inviting others to do same.

newkneesdbt.bsky.social•136 days ago

I mean if now isn’t the time for the ultimate cattiness, I don’t know when is.

v-ron.bsky.social•136 days ago

We could have the world's first total blackout of any and all communications... even morse code would be broken... and trump would say the event had the highest viewership in the universe.
Every eyeball of every living thing on earth could "Thanos snap" out of existence... biglyest watched ever 🤦‍♀️

dukeedukes.bsky.social•136 days ago

Hope that's the case.

kimb0eslice.bsky.social•132 days ago

Not going to view that idiot

boatmatears.bsky.social•136 days ago

I’m not watching. Any of it. Not the confirmation hearings, not Rachel for 100 days, none of it. I hope more people will turn them off.

kaynhouston.bsky.social•136 days ago

I was actually thinking the same thing today. I have no interest in watching it.

oliviadog.bsky.social•132 days ago

I think it will. Great day to Netflix and Chill

faith13.bsky.social•132 days ago

‼️💯‼️

drjaxx.bsky.social•135 days ago

Or a deluge followed by a blackout.

bluekentucky.bsky.social•135 days ago

I hate to even murmur the thought, but the Felon seems to be more popular now than in 2016. Seems the worse he gets, the more his followers adore him. (I think I just puked.)

jdd.me.uk•135 days ago

The problem with hating on Trump so much is that a lot of Americans voted for him. If we can’t accept that someone else won the vote and make the best of it, it splits America into us vs them and is a bit like when the right would not accept Biden won. Must move forward, not refuse to engage

sojournermemoirs.bsky.social•135 days ago

In historical US elections, while there are definite policy differences, the legislative process created compromise.
MAGA/Trump eschews compromise, undermines Democracy,and it works to deliver us into hostile hands.
Trump is President, MAGA/GOP controls Congress and Senate.
I work against them.

amandaknox.com•135 days ago

I'm not denying his electoral victory. And yeah, we can't pretend he's not president. But the inauguration is just frippery and fanfare. And you can still coherently think it's an absolute disaster that he got reelected and still reckon with the fact that many people voted for him.

jdd.me.uk•135 days ago

That’s very true. The inauguration does not matter. It bothers me slightly that so many Americans write off the Trump supporters as racist. Over 50% of America is racist? I wish they would acknowledge many Americans are poor and suffering, and have genuine concerns. Maybe Trump is a bad choice for

jdd.me.uk•135 days ago

President, but to give the majority of Americans their due, people should accept that they have genuine real world concerns and felt the need to vote Trump; felt that Democrats were not addressing their concerns. And people should ask, why is that? And what are the solutions and ways forward

medic8ted.bsky.social•135 days ago

It would be easier to get on board with that if that 50% hadn’t been swayed by bullshit and lies. But they were. People have been manipulated into believing ridiculous nonsense.

When people have been duped or coerced into following someone, why give them what they don’t even actually want?

jdd.me.uk•135 days ago

You talk about a politician having lied to the electorate… but surely by that you mean every single president and presidential candidate for the last 50 years…

waynundrum.bsky.social•136 days ago

I won’t be watching it. Not that I ever watch it but I’ll be not watching it extra hard this time.

luckycricket315.bsky.social•136 days ago

I don't have any streaming services and the only Internet is on my phone. Even with that legit excuse. I'm not watching that shit.

jimsdouglas.bsky.social•136 days ago

Sorry, Trump has us all beat on petty. His fragile ego must be protected at all costs.

critesbeck.bsky.social•136 days ago

I won’t be watching….I still remember when Trump tried to “prove” his crowd was larger than Obama’s! He’s definitely all about the numbers.

ghackenschmidt.bsky.social•135 days ago

T’would be a shame if the weather were so godawful, it was the smallest inauguration crowd since John Tyler.

Schade, schade, marmalade.

im4smithee.bsky.social•136 days ago

I don't even watch the ones for people I voted for,I'm not going to watch one for a guy I have voted against three times.

kathym530.bsky.social•136 days ago

I don’t think it is petty to refuse to be a part of this farce and sham of an inauguration. Obedience in advance is not petty. It’s patriotic to oppose a facist, racist, rapist and traitor even if he was “elected” by a broken system.

kathym530.bsky.social•136 days ago

I forgot to say criminal

bro-k-e.bsky.social•136 days ago

I'd only watch if Trump had to say, spell and define the word schadenfreude

binkleybloom.bsky.social•136 days ago

Schadenfreude. It tastes so good on your lips.

kellyincharlotte.bsky.social•136 days ago

I’m taking myself to get a pedicure and then a lunch involving wine.

roadrunnerj21.bsky.social•136 days ago

LOL, does it even matter? The Orange Oompah Loompah and his MAGA sycophants will claim it has the largest crowds in history, no matter what actual pictures or viewership ratings say. The lies are on autopilot and repeat already. 😂

sarcasmsign.bsky.social•136 days ago

Didn't we all collectively avoid it the first go-round too?

cindic324.bsky.social•136 days ago

I will look forward to the numbers , in comparison in turnout between 2017 and 2025 ! The photos of the mall and overall viewership as well .

randomcoolzip.bsky.social•136 days ago

I mean, why would anybody want to watch a guy put his hand on a book he's never read, and swear an oath he's already planning to violate, when we all know in advance that that's what's happening?

kevswhif.bsky.social•136 days ago

I have no intention of watching it on tv and I hope his crowd is smaller than his 2017 crowd was so he gets really pissed off

goldnmyear.bsky.social•134 days ago
