You know unless that's the day he's washing his hair that is.
I'll bet he skips the inaugural church service as well, lest he erupt into a fireball once he enters the doors.
ReplyDeleteOH but he has doc anti-gay anti-woman pastors praying over him on Friday. I suspect the normal 60 minute address will be 29 minutes of Trump glorifying Trump. What else does he have? "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for Russia!"
DeleteAre you kidding? He goes to church to hook up with his mistresses. At least he did with Marla while at church with Ivana and the kiddies.
DeleteHis ego cannot handle being so disliked and the disruption he creates! He is a man that has to be in control - so that is why he will rarely do press conferences or appear in town-hall scenarios and take questions from fellow Americans!
DeleteHe spends most of his time in Trump Towers - with multiple security and in hiding! He is afraid to be out in the open!
He's already showing himself to be a disaster! He knows he cannot handle the role of potus! This is going to be extremely interesting to watch.
If he even takes the oath, he won't retain the office of the presidency for four years!
Plus, Trump is truly disliked by the many in America! That is killing his ego more than anything. He's just gotten angrier, nastier and reactive and he's not even in the role yet!
He will go down - one way or another - impeaching him is OUR option America!
MORAL? "Rev. Robert A. Franek" This is by design. Overwhelm and distract so the public can’t see that the swamp is not being drained but filled to the brim. Thus also the swift work of the Senate and the House in passing the budget resolutions to begin the process of repealing the Affordable Care Act. Overwhelm. Distract. None of this is by accident or happenstance.They have shown the American people their values and their desire to keep some facts hidden from the public with the passage of a bill that does not allow the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office to report cost analysis on their healthcare law.More the American people will need to make most vociferously the moral argument for affordable and accessible healthcare being a fundamental right of every citizen of this country."

Or being pee'd on that day?
ReplyDeleteNope, not gonna let the visual of what that hair looks like when wet pop into my brain.
ReplyDeleteYam is looking less orange than he did on the campaign trail. But a buzz cut by the time he waves from the door of his resignation helicopter is beyond the realm of possibility.
DeleteI am hoping for gale force winds on inauguration day just to enjoy the pics of his hat jammed down around his ears.
Another stunt down.
ReplyDeleteYou know that trip to the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture that President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team announced he would be taking in observance of Martin Luther King Day? Yeah, that’s not happening now.
This “visit” was never fully planned out and was removed from Trump’s calendar due to “scheduling issues,” senior level transition team sources told ABC News. “Senior sources initially said Trump would visit the museum, but ABC has learned that the visit was removed from his calendar due to scheduling issues and was not fully planned out.”
Trump will visit the museum later, after he is president (probably before he releases his tax returns, which is to say, possibly before never). ABC reported these sources said Trump would commemorate MLK day another way, but didn’t have any specifics on that yet. Perhaps he can spend MLK day walking back his false claims that he won Obama Democrats and that’s why Democrats are “mad”; after all, it couldn’t be the Russia Compromise or the Russia hacking of Democrats and Clinton that he publicly directed the Kremlin to do (why does anyone need proof of private meetings when Trump directed the Kremlin in public?).
On the same day that Donald Trump made a fool of himself by attacking civil rights hero Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) for being all talk, including racist stereotypes about his district’s “crime” (read with intended Nixonian dog whistle, or replace with modern version: “urban”), the Trump team brought cover with the announcement that Trump would be visiting the museum that prominently features Rep. Lewis’ civil rights efforts, which included bloodshed for freedom and equality; whereas Donald Trump is a draft-dodger.
The announcement of the trip to the museum was on par with the empty folders Trump offered as proof that he had separated from his business interests. Trump knows how to distract and offer sparkly disco balls for a story lede, but what he doesn’t understand is that being president isn’t like being the star of a reality TV show or posing during a ribbon cutting with a few words of cheap, transparent propaganda to praise yourself.

Conn. Republican arrested for grabbing woman’s genitals — his lawyer says it was ‘a playful gesture’
ReplyDelete...The incident, which took place in December 2016, began when the 57-year-old woman encountered von Keyserling in the hallway. The two had a brief political argument, in which von Keyserling remarked, “I love this new world, I no longer have to be politically correct.”
When the woman tried to walk away, von Keyserling allegedly reached from behind to place his hand between her legs and pinched her in the groin. He said “it would be your word against mine and nobody will believe you,” the woman claimed.

I think these asshats are confusing the term 'politically correct' with 'CIVILIZED'!
DeleteIf this guy brazenly does this in front of witnesses and a camera, can you just imagine what he's done in secret?
Trump World.
DeleteWe're all living in it now.
Maybe the martial arts will step up and offer free defense classes to women.
Maybe a trump world funded free concealed weapon course for women to defend against pussy grabbers. No means NO! right?
DeleteWe are ALL going to need a LOT more than martial art defense classes!
DeleteHow to safely and correctly handle your own guns comes immediately to mind!
I'm prepared due to having already taken lessons/classes with friends.
Doing so has truly made us all feel safer within our own homes and properties!
Suffice it to say that Trump's coming dictatorship scares the Hell out of us!
I think these asshats are confusing the term 'politically correct' with 'CIVILIZED'!

More like they are confusing politically correct with CRIMINAL
Israeli spies: Trump ‘golden showers’ dossier only one of many troubling reports being investigated

Someone must have figured out that MLK DAY would bring out The Blacks especially on MLK Day. He wouldn't DARE another angry protest, as it would most assuredly happen on this day. I am glad he has to alter his "schedule" because of the fear of protests. #notmypresident
ReplyDeleteYep, he's a coward. Just like Sessions last week when he didn't show up for one day of his hearings when people testified about his racism.
DeleteI can't help but wonder IF they cancelled him from entering the new historical structure?
ReplyDeleteGod only knows how much I'll miss the Obama's.
ReplyDeleteHell, at this point, I'd be happy with either on the Bushes or Reagan or Nixon . . .
Agree with you Old Redneck. Silly me...I thought Dubya was the worst GOP president EVER. Now, compared to Drumpf, he actually seems acceptable. I never imagined I'd ever say that as I hated what Bush II and Cheney did to our country.
DeleteYes. At least W had a heart and a sense of when to not say anything. And he could, in his bumbling way, console. He did care about the people. He did see himself as having a responsibility to show Dems and Repubs that he cared. None of these things are true for Trump.
DeleteI find it interesting that Ben Carson has been silent about this latest Trump misstep (to put it mildly). If not for the sacrifice of John Lewis and many others, Carson would have likely been prevented from attending medical school.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many very brilliant African Americans, but Carson just doesn't seem to be, and I have read things online for a long time now that do make it sound like he's overly praised.
DeleteIt's just as likely that he never was going to attend at all than that his attendance was cancelled at the last minute. I wouldn't trust anything that transition officials say.
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY with you on that thought, mo!
DeleteI read an article last night that he ought to go to the wreath laying, but, I thought, no way should he interfere, and so I thought maybe he understood that and decided to go to the museum instead. But of course people he's spurned would be there in big numbers and he'd be just as much a fish out of water, so his even going to the museum surprised me. Another possibility is that he had decided to go to the museum to show that he knows who Dr. King is, but then he read the articles that have been coming out saying that Obama recommended in Sept. that he go. Back when Trump was saying thatblacks have never had it so nad, Obama said of course they've had it much worse and a little girl could tell you that. And he said Trump ought to go check out the museum. Trump may have started reading the current references to Sept. and gotten pissed and said screw the museum trip.
Deletehe must not frequent museums - what a surprise! they're usually closed on monday's.
ReplyDeleteNot the Smithsonian.
DeleteTrump is as dumb as they come...proves himself so more and more as time moves on!
DeleteI'll bet he's never been in a museum in his life! He's not interested in our history or racial issues - it's extremely apparent!
Evilness, hate and fear is spreading throughout our country and it's all because of the devil himself - Donald Trump who will never represent me in any way!
and surprise donny - mlk transcends this bias-based, human construct called "race" that we still are stuck with. how about celebrating civil rights - which was his mission - and those who have worked towards it? you know, like john lewis? civil rights are rights for all people, regardless of everything they are and are not.
ReplyDeletehow about celebrating the 1st amendment and voting rights? mlk would approve, i think it's safe to say. and the rights of all who are eligible for it not to have their social security taken away or privatized? there really are endless choices to pick from. yes, celebrate that mlk is of african (and more than likely european) descent. go to the museum to celebrate black history month. but celebrate monday that mlk is a civil rights icon, no matter where he came from. he transcends melanin count and ethnicity, even though that is a huge part of his personal history. and apologize to rep. lewis while you're at it!
You're so right. And it's long killed me when racist whites trash the ACLU thinking it only is there for African Americans. And now, whites are trashing anything with the word "union" in it. Digging their own graves.
DeleteDidn't he do the same last year, too? Or was it the Holocaust Museum that he cancelled, too?
ReplyDeleteI vaguely remember a flap about him wanting to visit one of those museums, and then cancelling it, because they did not actually agree to make his visit into a photo-op...
Everyone needs to remember - and, especially the media and TV reporters - that when Trump began his campaign he came out as a racist very clearly!
DeleteIt's on video and there is NO way he can retract his statements. He is already creating chaos in our country and he's not even the leader as yet!
I, even more than a month or so ago, see fighting on our streets and neighbor against neighbor! Trump will call out the National Guard, cops and military to take control of all of us!
I see no other outcome and fear for our country!
He will never be my potus!
Trump had absolutely no idea who John Lewis is when he launched his idiotic twitter attack against him. When he found out exactly who he was insulting he cancelled his appearance at the African American History Museam rather than face displays honoring Rep. Lewis' heroic work in the civil rights movement.
ReplyDeleteNor did he have any idea what Lewis's district was like. Just assumed it had to be some hellish ghetto of tenements and crime, cuz, you know, black.
DeleteTotally agree with you two. Trump just humped into his usual attack complaint. He hadn't a clue.
DeleteTo whoever defended elitist Melania below, you have to be kidding. This woman is living her Pretty Woman days. Since her nude modeling and hooking up with a millionaire her life has changed. Yes she's going to have a makeup room second and I do mean second to none with her personal makeup artist living in the Trump hotel whenever Melania feels like going to Washington DC. I hope us taxpayers will not get stuck with the bill for flying her personal groomer from New York to DC, also stuck paying for her room and board.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous9:53 AM
To be fair, this is not info from Melania, it is a made-up piece. Fake news. There is a dressing room right next to the MBR in the White House -- Jackie used it as a dressing room.
Vogue:
Here’s What Melania Trump’s Glam Room Might Look Like
http://www.vogue.com/13522248/melania-trump-white-house-glam-room/
No, its not "fake news." The main premise (that Melania uses an hour and 15 minutes of "uninterrupted focus" for her makeup application) is sourced by her makeup artist. The rest is clearly stated speculation. That's quite different from "fake news."
DeleteExactly. There WILL be a glam room. The details are what are uncertain.
DeleteOh my, another fake story according to a Melania groupie
ReplyDeleteCosmopolitan-
"Melania wants a room with the most perfect lighting scenario, which will make our jobs as a creative team that much more efficient, since great lighting can make or break any look," Bryl added.
As for the inauguration, during which time the glam room won't be ready, Bryl is confident they can get Melania picture perfect.
Picture perfect to look like this?

After declaring war on Rep. Lewis, Trump is afraid to show his face at the museum. All hat, no cattle.
ReplyDeleteTalk, talk, talk, but no action, that's trump. Sad!

Is he still owner of the housing project that landed dad/him in court for discrimination? or is that in the museum already?
ReplyDeleteIt should be placed there if not there already! History needs to be factual!
DeleteTrump is a racist having declared so when in his campaign mode.
Rinse Pubis has threatened the head of the Office of Government Ethics.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/reince-priebus-ethics-careful_us_587b9be8e4b0e58057ff493e
"Incoming White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus warned the head of the Office of Government Ethics on Sunday to “be careful” in his criticisms of President-elect Donald Trump.
OGE Director Walter Shaub last week panned Trump’s plan to address his business conflicts as “meaningless,” marking the second time the director called on the president-elect to fully divest his assets before he assumes the presidency this week.
“The head of the government ethics ought to be careful because that person is becoming extremely political,” Priebus said on ABC News’ “This Week.”"
The PURGE progresses.

Of course, now that it's hit the fan the Drumpf toadies are saying they asked him to stay. Take that with a pound of salt.
I don't blame him. Bet he moves far, far away from D.C.
It is amazing the blatant LIES they keep telling and how they continue to disrespect the American public by assuming we as all as stupid as trump supporters.
Delete----------------------------
"I think it's incredibly disappointing and I think it's irresponsible for people like himself to question the legitimacy of the next United States president," incoming White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said of Lewis on ABC's "This Week," insisting that Republicans did not question the legitimacy of President Barack Obama's victory eight years ago.
Priebus later acknowledged that conservatives led by Trump himself spent years questioning Obama's eligibility to serve as president, suggesting he was not born in the United States.
Why isn't anyone standing up for the Ethics guy when he was absolutely correct in his statement regarding Trump?
ReplyDeletePreibus, Trump, Ryan and McConnell are not to be trusted and any statements being put out by the Trump 'groupie' should be discarded completely. They are lies and a total waste of their air!
Well he can now wear his white sheet and pointy hat for the inauguration.
ReplyDeleteAs an acknowledgement to African Americans, they are going to have Clarence (Oreo Cookie) Thomas swear in Pence.
ReplyDeleteIsn’t that special !!!!
Bwa ha ha. That means Thomas is going to have to speak in public.
DeleteAnyone notice how Trump is bending over backwards to use and invite as many African Americans as possible? Anyone think this wreaks of "protesting too much" regarding his discrimination against black tenants and the other lawsuits and citations?
In my opinion whether or not racist trump knew who John Lewis is, it is irrelevant. Any civilized person with decorum, let alone the president elect, should not be making personal attacks on a citizen for speaking their views.
ReplyDeleteIf trump didn’t like it he should have shut up, if it was so necessary to comment, he could have said I am sorry that he feels that way, but to attack him was reprehensible and he should apologize.
It is even more despicable watching the little trump flying monkeys run to the media and cry how dare he question the legitimacy of traitor trump’s presidency, we NEVER did that to Obama !! Not only is that an insult to Pres. Obama, but the American public.
And how exactly does one wash *road kill*?
ReplyDeleteOh shit... now I understand why he bleaches it.
Ew.
There are a number of pictures of John Lewis in the museum (you can do a search on the museum online). He's seen walking with MLK, helping a woman, getting beat, and more. If Trump went to the museum, people would be watching his reaction to everything, and to what is there about John Lewis. He'd feel like a fool walking around. And if nayone was there to recird things and ask him questions about his reaction to the museum, he'd sound dumb.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Trump never makes long visits anywhere. He's in and out, like when on the campaign trail and stopping at factories for a whole fifteen minutes. To really see this museum he'd have to give it a decent chunk of time, and no way would he tomorrow. He'd normally not do it, and he'd especially not do it on MLK Day weekend with hordes of people there watching.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this talk about changing how the press is handled and maybe leaving the briefing room. Millions was spent during W's second term to update the room. I remember what a big deal it was when it reopened and was more accommodating and mire high-tech.
What's the point if he's going to undermine, delegitimize and denigrate the real press and coddle to Breitbart and the rest of the Nazi press?
DeleteWhy show up for a asswhupping over and over again?
Here's the headlines: Trump/Spicer/Conway/"insert name here" tell more lies to the press.
