Attendees will include members of Congress, Supreme Court justices, diplomats and the public. Former presidents Jimmy Carter, George W.

[mewzilla]

Anybody seen Frank Luntz’s feet? Has he got his RWB Vans on...?

[defconw]

[Fishtalk]

Funny story.....

....so the last time I attended an inauguration, the only time now that I think about it, was....TADA....President Ronald Reagan!!!

Indeed me and a friend went to D.C. as part of some planned protest by women and we were all supposed to wear green. Me and the friend, who turned out to become my daughter’s teacher the following two years, ran around D.C. during the inauguration parade carrying five gallon buckets because we found them and needed them to stand above the crowd.

We made our way to the ramps off of the place where they swear them in and I was maybe 20-30 feet away from President Reagan and wife Nancy.

And though I was there in some sort of silly protest as I was a stupid women’s libber what knew nothing, let me tell you that Ronald Reagan was an amazingly handsome man and Nancy is a tiny women but as classy as they came.

So I got it into my head that I was going to shout bad things about Reagan and, heh, a couple of DC cops came up to me, turn me around to face the railing, kind of roughly, pinned my arms behind my back and told me, meanly, that if I didn’t shut up they would be snapping handcuffs on me.

Today go to hell I watch all those stupid protesters...and by the way not another woman showed up that day wearing green.

So I am talking to my mother-in-law now three or four husbands from that time. She tells me, after my story about Reagan, that she and her husband attended the inauguration of HARRY TRUMAN!

Wow! I was just intrigued. She told me it was her honeymoon and she and husband went to the inauguration while staying at a friend’s place. Her husband (fourth husban’d father) was in the military at the time.

Just a great story....both of us I’d argue.

Elizabeth Dole looking good. don’t know how much younger she is than Bob.

[posterchild]

IIRC it looks like the same hat he wore upon departure in 2009.

[stonehouse01]

“...CSPAN ...WTF...”

Heard it.

[polymuser]

Reminds me of Babs Streisand a bit.

[RegulatorCountry]

I’m sure she looked all wrapped up in a bow herself, presenting that gift from Tiffany to Michelle Obama. Kill ‘em with kindness and class.

[snarkytart]

lol it’s like 200 people awwwww poor radicals.

[mewzilla]

If those 68 ‘Rats refuse to show up and refuse to allow anyone else to use those seats...Oh, yeah. Keep digging.

[RummyChick]

UGH>>Debbie Wasserman whatever just showed up

[rdl6989]

Oh wow, Fox Business is showing Debbie Wasserman-Shultz entering. I didn’t expect that.

[Lakeside Granny]

That would be Brunnel Donald-Kyel she is a Democrat who got on the Trump Train early as he spoke to her.

She’s tired of being sold out by the dims and was a staunch Trump advocate through out the election.

[Jane Long]

A pro-Trump button???

Please keep me posted!! TIA!

[Windflier]

In hindsight, I believe Mccain would have been more harmful.

I posted that same thought on FR during the 2008 election, and was roundly criticized for it.

I don't think people understood how much OPPOSITION Obama would engender on our side. In the end, it proved to be a good thing, because it made us stand up and FIGHT.

[mewzilla]

Conway looked like a Grecian goddess last night. Just gorgeous.

My 12 year old son, completely unprompted, saw Wasserman Schultz and said “wow Democrats aren’t only stupid they are ugly.” LOL.
