@potus dont you dare be part of the evil that is looming over this country. Youbdotn have to be the biggest person. Just look at Republicans Sa, alcoholic, drug abusers. The low of the low. As they attack immigrants for being criminals. Republicans are the criminals in this country.
I'm attending a MLK ceremony, lunch with friends at a restaurant that has no TV's, then happy hour with my husband. I refuse to turn on any coverage of a criminal rapist swearing an oath on a Bible that he'll break in 5 second's. I hope we give him the lowest inauguration ratings, ever.
It’s who he is. He has to follow his own rules on decency. He did great by us for 4 years. But now we’re going to need leaders willing to get fired up and fight like hell.
Given that trump is a threat to democracy and national security they shouldn’t attend the inauguration ceremony. That goes for democrats in Congress also.
W is a Neo-con low life weasil. I’m sure his family strongly encouraged him to keep his mouth shut. They had a lot to lose as well. “Trickle down”😉. If he spoke out before the election his daughter’s careers may have been affected.
Probably not. Our electorate is willfully ignorant. They rely on media telling them what to think. I have not found one Trump voter who actually watched the January 6th hearings in their entirety nor read either of the 3 Federal Indictments. We are a stupid country despite our many blessings
And media is now the technologarchs running the sho. The control they have. We’ll see what they want us to see. Info curated to keep the masses shuffling in the right direction. Just look around your environment at all the ‘smart’ connections.
The control is not yours you see.
I do not even want to hear that orange man's name never mind read anything he posts, see his face, hear his voice or attend anything where he will be present. So glad I live in another country.
So all the people who won't stand up to Trump will be there as he becomes president without a hiccup...
Maybe I'm too cynical.. but their attendance meant nothing. He didn't want them there and their presence there, would have upset us too.. but at the same time.. they chose to sit back and watch
Three friends:
A president who actually balanced the budget, a president who put us in a 17 year war and trillions in debt, and one of the best presidents America ever had; not attending the inauguration of an asshole who won the presidency by lying, cheating, and conspiring with Russia.
I would hope that no Democrat attends the inauguration. Felon 34 is a fascist who plans to destroy our country. I wish Biden would have him arrested and call Martial law before he gets sworn in
I was planning to read a good book and tend to my garden for my sanity, but I guess it won't hurt to have the shopping channel streaming in the background. ;-)
Great suggestions but I bet they don't matter to Tramp. The real statistics might never even reach him; he might be fed what he wants to hear. Doesn't strike me as a guy who reads or thinks too much.
Thank you Michelle Obama and Nancy Pelosi !!!! A peaceful transfer of power, yes. Don’t storm the Capital and beat up police. BUT DON’T GO TO THE RAPIST’S INAUGURATION EITHER !!! I will lose a measure of respect for anyone who attends. Their attendance is their approval of rape and crime.
None of them should attend this inauguration. By their attendance they are sane washing and normalizing Trumps ascending to the Oval Office and the threat he brings to our Democracy.
They need to stop upholding the “norms” because “norms” left the building in 2016!!!
I would have declined the inauguration ceremony too but they are doing the correct thing. Trump did not attend Biden's inauguration - they are showing him what class is.
I am all for it. I think they should not even be at his inauguration. The orange orangutan did not show up for Biden. Why should any other president do it for him?
So Obama, Bush & Clinton won't be attending Trump's inaugural luncheon. I wish that they also would not be in attendance for his inauguration ceremony, but I understand they are better men than is Trump who did not attend Biden's inauguration. But I'm with Michelle on this one. It's a no-go for me.
We feel it too. I was so hopeful for Hillary and my heart of happiness was at the brink of bursting, then I cried for weeks with the dread of a Trump Presidency. Yet again, hopeful with Kamala... hope felt so good, but now back to the dread of an even worse Trump reign. Big sigh.
It's not about being the bigger person. They just have to watch their cholesterol and the inaugural luncheon is probably gonna consist of bigmacs and buckets of chicken
Like last year he's collected millions of dollars in donations to pay for his inauguration party, but will serve cheep food, bottom shelf liquor, have unknown dance bands, thereby keeping 95% of the donated money for himself. Who will get the blame this year? 2016 it was @swinstonwolkoff.bsky.social
It's like that one fucker who you invite to the neighborhood cookout, they bring natural ice and drink all the good beer. Wtf, Ron? That was imported and you just left half a bottle to get warm and then grabbed another?
My wish is they let Velveeta Voldemort think they are attending, and then not show up! Then the three can meet for lunch and drinks elsewhere -- and hopefully Hilary, Laura, and Michele join them.
Though in the end, I think they are there not for him but to honor the transfer of power and the office of the presidency; they want to show that, unlike Trump did to Biden. They know that by not attending the lunch they are showing they do not accept him!
I understand that Bush, Clinton and Obama have to attend the inauguration. It is official business. The lunchen is not and they will have to interact with Trump et al.
I do hope that Hillary and Mrs. Bush do not attend the inauguration.
I get the argument of going to the inauguration out of respect for the office. I also think that he sullies the office and attending is just feeding the attention whore.
Meanwhile they’re buddied up with Bush, a war criminal himself, and Obama playing patty cakes with Trump during a real presidents funeral. Uhuh, yeah, OK.
It’s about time Dems stopped acting like everything is fine and dandy and this is just another president we disagree with on policies. The emperor has no clothes (sorry for that gross visual!)
Well the orange blob will probably be having quarter pounders from McDonald's catered in, so they wouldn't be missing anything, except maybe a visit to the nearest ER.
Bush is just doing the republiCON thing, by trying to act like it wasn't his actions that led to this shit show being possible. He simply wants to wash his hands of it and take no responsibility. 😡
IMHO they should skip the inauguration full stop. The man belongs in jail. He tried to overturn the 2020 election. Attending equals acceptance/confirmation of his right to the presidency.
I wish they would not attend the swearing in either. That “4x Liable for Defamation, Civil Fraud, Convicted Felon & Adjudicated Rapist, Donald Trump" didn't!
Glad to see them voting with their feet! Wouldn't it be great if ALL the congressional Dems joined them and declined in solidarity? Imagine the message that would send! 🙂🇺🇲💙
Unfortunately, it’s the inaugural lunch. So we’ll see them on the inaugural dias… hopefully they’ll poke at each other like boys on the last day of school, ya know, so the cameras have to shift to them.
Well that’s true… I worded it badly. I’ll be streaming a show on BritBox while all my displays will be tuned to a car auction show or antiques roadshow,with the sound off.
My dark thought about this: I think even protestors would look like attention being paid. I want it to be the quietest, most intentionally ignored event ever.
This is for us dear presidents. We feel forsaken. Please wear armbands to proclaim your support for a truly great man as well as a sign of solidarity with us. Let us know you understand. And thank you Mo, u the best!

Also, I’m not the biggest fan of McDonalds.
However I’d happily go grab a beer with the 3 former POTUS’s if the opportunity arose.

Nice!
(At least I would be afraid of being poisoned)
Do you think Trump gives AF
if they don't attend?
All 3 of those losers are the reason we have DT.
It was their job to make sure Chump didn't get into the
#WhiteHouse and they failed.
They need to stop upholding the “norms” because “norms” left the building in 2016!!!
Sarcasm detected!
I do hope that Hillary and Mrs. Bush do not attend the inauguration.
Nobody is even going to know or care if they don’t go to the lunch.
Every decent person should decide to stay home that day, with no warning, so that there are a ton of empty chairs in the shot.
But they will be there to support President Biden at least.
But they attempted only to support President Biden I guess. There is no other reason.
No matter what Felon³⁴ does, MAGAt Mike Johnson will never bring articles of impeachment against him to the floor.
The end.
Very good!
And I love it.
Just being civil to the thug is traumatizing enough!!!
I’m thrilled that our Presidents won’t be dining with the lying piece of traitor trash ~
😅

Be more like Michelle!
This act sends a huge message to Trumls camp and the world.

Highlight the photo opp on the newly established ’Contrarian’.
But they’re not doing the traditional welcome at the White House or the Naval Observatory, and not going to the lunch, apparently.
They are doing what they have to do, and that’s it.
I feel sorry for them, having to sit through this a second time.
We no long live in a world where etiquette matters!!!
They don't have to do anything. What is going to happen? Will their pensions be revoked???????
They could all call in sick.
Clearly the universe is pissed.
Biden should skip the circus as well!

That’d be great, boys…
