Let's All Go the Moooo-vies

Early Friday morning I checked the forecast for Inauguration Day in Washington and was delighted to see it was going to be witches tits cold. I chuckled and cackled and shared the news with all my social media chums.

It was brass monkey cold, I said, because God hates Trump.

I know that because it rained during the 2017 swearing-in ceremony. God did that, because God hates Trump. Later Trump claimed/lied that God halted the precipitation just long enough to allow him to place his tiny hand on the Bible, lie his fat ass off, and then ripped off a speech that even had that quisling idiot, Dubya, saying "That was some weird shit."

So of course it'll be really cold in Washington because God hates Trump. (And Reagan, too, as it turns out. 3 degrees below zero in 1985. But I digress.)

But, as we all know by now, the Inaugural has been moved into the well-heated confines of the Capitol.

So what about all of Trump's supporters, of whom will no doubt claim would have formed the largest Inaugural crowd in history? I mean the biglyest ever!

Anyone without a functioning cerebral cortex knows by now that Trump could give two shits about his idiot voters freezing their tiny testicles off in the cold, even if he took the oath in some sort of heated cubicle on the steps of the Capitol. Trump knows he doesn't need his supporters any more. He's King now, you see.

So now his voters, the one's who had sense enough to stay home, will remain snug and warm in their trailers on the 20th, gently caressing their assault rifles, if not a pliable first cousin, as Fox News remarks with glowing emphasis over every single burp or fart their Golden Child makes.

And God will laugh. Along with Martin Luther King.

---------------

Truth be told, Trump moved indoors because the could weather would significantly reduce the size of the crowd, making it pathetically small.

Bad optics, you know. Can't have that.

---------------

I'm disappointed in the decision to move the Inauguration indoors because I was kind of hoping that Trump would be so cold his chattering dentures would have made it impossible for him to complete the Oath of Office.

---------------

I honestly think the "go to the movies plan" is worth considering. Many people will have the day off, owing to the MLK holiday, so they might as well have one last brief splash of fun before all Hell breaks loose on the 21st, if not the 20th.

Trump is a pussy-ass turnip.

RFK will kill us all with his bronze-age medical beleifs.

Minnesota Republican legislators are huge assholes.

We wake every morning to the question: "Did he die yet?" I expect it to expand to : "Did they all die yet?"
What is it, 1491 days to go? Please, Rudy, take him out. (to the mall. I would never, never wish anything illegal, you understand.)

Don't count on it. Agribiz is dependent on those chemicals to make food edible to our tastes. and keep it cheap. Real food is always more expensive. And not enough families can afford much of it.

I attended the 2001 GW Bush anti-inaugural. It was cold and raining then too.

Why do news services insist on reporting large numbers as percents? It's just as easy -- and far more intelligible -- to say 7.7 times as much.

To pin responsibility, Democrats will need to radically step up their messaging, which is their biggest weakness. Then, they need to get the media to cover it.

Apropos this, I noticed that, whenever there was a campaign story on NPR, they always had a soundbite from Trump, but only alluded to Harris.

One good thing that could come from a Kennedy HHS would be getting all of the artificial colors, flavors, and unpronounceable chemicals out of our food.

We are going to have a population crash and we have chosen to do it the hard way. This sucketh.

ERA Amendment monkey business
Biden declares the ERA the law of the land — but it likely will not matter www.politico.com/news/2025/01/17/biden-era-amendment-004495
U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan has previously said that the ERA’s eligibility has expired, and could not be added now unless Congress acts. Congress, under control of Republicans, is unlikely to do so.
“The president is not going to direct the archivist,” the senior official told reporters, though the official later added that “the archivist is required to publish an amendment once it’s ratified, so the archivist is required to publish this amendment.”

Trump is a pussy-ass turnip.
What else is new? Favorite conspiracy; if he saw how small the crowd was going to be, he'd go back to Mar-A-Lago and run the country from there.

UnitedHealth, and associated bastard companies, marked up some drugs as much as 7700%.
Health care is not for everybody. Even a lot of the genuinely rich need insurance or traveling to another country. But the 1% get what they want, more money.

RFK will kill us all with his bronze-age medical beleifs.
The Bronze Age had better health care. Apparently he doesn't believe in humors, germs or evil spirits. Just in not spending unnecessary money on sick people.

Minnesota Republican legislators are huge assholes.
GOP politics at it's lowest. Using a one vote margin to control the legislature. It involved lots of irregularities and even more outright illegality. Since they don't own the courts, it will go back to 67-67 in a few months. And the gov is unlikely to help things along for the MAGAhats.

President Joe Biden calls for amending the Constitution to remove presidential immunity.
He also reminded up one person has been sitting on signing off on the ERA for all this time. More in my comment.

Ok, Lefty what flavor of pizza do you enjoy? The cartoon sure looks like pepperoni.

JimM

Wondering and worrying how long before there's an order to censor independent URLs, like my favorite, RagingPencils? Full force of the IRS perhaps as the bully? Arrests of those that hurt the feelings of the traitorous bumbling idiot soon in the WH?

Go to the movies? Uh, NO! I have no clue what's playing and don't feel the need to know. I save $$ by not going.

I am not flying the American flag on Monday. I won't dishonor a president like Carter for a petty, vindictive, tyrant, crybaby like the felon. I did think about flying a Canadian flag, but that may be seen as support for the so-called 51st state.

The felon already has a vagina. He named it Barron.

We arrested the man who owed the pedophile island, we arrested the woman who brought the young women to pedophile island to be raped. Why haven't we arrested the rapists?

Lefty: Here’s an idea Look, you’re not going to watch that fucking inauguration, so why not go watch a movie instead. It’ll be great. You can see something actually entertaining while you eat the pizza you snuck in under your coat. And if there’s enough butts in those seats then maybe the press will actually sit up and take notice. (Trump dumped as dems hit hot flix.) See you at the movies!
