Rep. Barbara Lee to skip Trump inauguration, vows resistance
The Washington Times ^ | January 12, 2017 | Seth McLaughlin

A Democratic congresswoman announced Thursday she plans on skipping Donald Trump’s inauguration next week as the 45th president of the United States, vowing instead to spend her time laying the groundwork for “resistance.”

Rep. Barbara Lee of California said she can’t stomach the idea of attending the Jan. 20 ceremony after Mr. Trump ran “one of the most divisive and prejudiced campaigns in modern history.”

“I will not be celebrating or honoring an incoming president who rode racism, sexism, xenophobia and bigotry to the White House,” said Ms. Lee, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Stupid dumbass. Ask her some simple questions, like what is Pi or how fast is light speed or how far you would go in one hour at 60 miles per hour. My guess is she would not get one of those questions correct.

Addition by subtraction.

That’s one less sour loser democrat face that the TV cameras won’t be subjecting us to during the inauguration coverage.

O/T, we can thank that fiasco over Ebonics in Oakland schools for turning my sister from a die hard lib to a conservative.

She visited us in August 1996, we had just moved to North Texas. She saw the new school my kids were enrolled at, her jaw dropped at the facilities.

When she returned to Oakland, she found out that her son's classrooms did not have desks, they were issued clipboards to substitute for desks. School officials got very defensive at her pointed questions, to the point where one response was, "that school in Texas is a "white bread" school."

My sister then explained that her niece and nephew were Hispanic, and over 50 different languages were spoken in that school. She shut 'em down, but good.

Is it possible that she can actually be a disgrace to the House? The House is pretty damned disgraceful as it is.

"It’s because he’s white, isn’t it?"

I was in a returns line at a big box store when the AA women in front of me was getting upset because they would'nt give her cash for the item she was trying to return without a reciept. Only store credit, store policy. Then she dropped the race card, "it's because I'm black, isn't it". It all went bad after that...

Hmmm...

That is a consideration.

But I think, even in the current House, she is a disgrace.

Win - win ..... her stomach will feel better & so will mine, not to see her scowling face. Resistance? She’s standing on the Trump Train track ... the headlight has appeared around the bend & the whistle is blowing. She’s dumb enough that she’s going to get run over.

She’s the same turd who was the only member of either house of the entire Congress to vote against supporting the troops as the US prepared to strike al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan.

A racist, Stalinist to the core. Her idea of utopia is North Korea with people like her and Zero running it.

An acquaintance of mine (Democrat turned Trump supporter) said he was going to put a Trump sign on his home to dissuade undesirables from moving in the neighborhood. I thought he was crazy but I guess he knows his party better than me.

The last straw came when she learned that there wouldn’t be an Ebonics interpreter at the Inauguration

She can just get Thamsanqa Jantjie to stand next to her so she can understand what is going on.
