Within just a few hours of President Joe Biden’s welcoming President-elect Donald Trump to a cozy two-hour Oval Office meeting (which honestly made me queasy), Trump made any right-thinking American queasy, too. He quickly nominated former Democrat-turned-quisling Tulsi Gabbard his director of national intelligence, accused pedophile Matt Gaetz as attorney general, and womanizing, serial liar, dead-baby-bear-defiling, whale-head-removing, worm-in-his-head anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of Health and Human Services.
That was just after he nominated Christian nationalist Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel.
What to do? Well, if Republicans decide to hold on to their power to confirm the president’s nominees—new Senate majority leader John Thune said he was open to Trump’s demand to make recess appointments—I hope they will not confirm any of them. Obviously, if you’re a Democrat, you make sure every Democrat votes against confirming them.
But before the confirmation dramas begin: Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff, former president Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton—and honestly, every Democratic member of Congress–must follow the lead of the late Representative John Lewis, who skipped Trump’s first inauguration, and decline their invitation to the inauguration on January 20.
“It will be the first one that I miss since I’ve been in Congress,” Lewis said in January 2017. “You cannot be at home with something that you feel that is wrong, is not right.” Lewis died in July 2020, before he could attend Joe Biden’s inauguration. But I know he’s fine with that. And if he were here now, I know what he would do. This is an ultimately inauthentic government, hateful of knowledge and science. And people. All but the people they see in their boardrooms.
Please don’t legitimize this, Madame Vice President.

Kumrade, the American guy beat your ass. lol
Hey bozo, it’s called “reaching across the aisle”
We need to make sure the SS keeps the Cheney “Endorsers” out. No free stuff for them. I hope President Trump will speak a tribute to Toby Keith. The only American not to shickenchit to go to his last inauguration. God Bless You Toby! This vet thinks about you every day. You’re missed.
The Lefty newswhore Joan Walsh weighs in...
The thing I like best about sore losers... Is that they lost.
Lol, same here.
That woman who wrote the article says not to legitimize the election. Just another way to deny what happened actually did happen.
In other words, an election denier.
Better silence her voice for spreading misinformation.
Not really; but it does bring to mind those now rotting in jail for expressing their opinions.
If the inaugural ends up being like a Trump rally with nothing but supporters and Secret Service attending, I’m OK with that.
Ha! This is about the hundredth article I’ve read since the election where a smug, self-important Leftist opines that some event or other will be absolutely ruined if she and / or other smug, self-important Leftists decide not to show up.
Pro Tip for smug, self-important Leftists: No one cares. No one.
But...but...unity.
She does know Kamala has to certify the election, doesn’t she?
I declare the writer to be renamed....
Karen.
Thank you for your service
So I have a cool Toby story for you. My sister and I went to his concert at Milwaukee Summerfest in 2003. This was after he did his many USO tours. Anyways we started talking with the two women who were next to us. Their sons served together and had met Toby. They moms never met before but their sons told them they had to see Toby in concert. So here I was tears streaming down my face while they told this story. And I felt so honored to be able to share this moment. Of course we supplied the drinks for the evening.
Toby ~ RIP ~ A real American hero
Sounds like something a catty, teenage girl might say: “We don’t like them, do we girls? So let’s not go to to their party, OK?”
Cheer: M I. S S. Miss it libs miss it!
All Libs should shave their heads and swear off sex.
Sex with a 17yr old is a lot of things, none of them good. However one thing it is not is pedophilia.
It’s called class, and no one ever said Liberals had any.
They all need to grow up
“Lefty newswhore Joan Walsh”
What she wrote has nothing to do with news. A diatribe by a spoiled baby with a lethal case of TDS.
(Nobody tell her that this crap is the reason Trump won. Let her keep talking and writing. Keep it up.)
