Not seen so many members of Congress boycott an inauguration since 1861. Back then they were all Democrats too.

B F D More room for people who want to be there.

Good riddance.

[farming pharmer]

Their stink would be better somewhere else.

[Jim Robinson]

Zing...

[fwdude]

Petulant children by any other name....

So the children are staying home, big deal. They may as boycott the next four years.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Back then, they were committing treason and using race to divide the country too.

[Pox]

Non Essential Legislators.

[FrdmLvr]

Is this supposed to matter?

[Trump20162020]

I like how they keep a palpably-giddy running total of this, just like they did the national popular vote after the presidential election.

And it's just as irrelevant.

[ctdonath2]

Whatever happened to “reach across the aisle”?

[Conserv]

Like we give a rat’s ass

[Zeppo]

Did they publish a list of names?

I try not to give fake news sites like the Washington Post any of my mouse clicks.

[1Old Pro]

Crybaby childish sore losers. But we already knew that.

[Kickass Conservative]

The same group that walked out of Congress during the Clinton Impeachment. Yawn...

[dynoman]

Nice that these obstructionists identify themselves!

[M Kehoe]

Good. Less garbage for the Park svc to pick up.

Make seats available to military, firemen, police, etc. The. When these dems show up just tell them their seats are occupied. Make a list of those saying they will not show.
