If Biden and Harris want to show up, that's up to them, to.

It's just a ceremonial transfer of power. *rump already showed how little respect he had for the office or a peaceful transfer of power.

It’s history. I wouldn’t talk about Kamala though. I think that could get ugly fast. Probably wouldn’t go black or anything but white or female or showing a disability or wear clothing that wasn’t rape proof. I wouldn’t wear a hat that said I was a Dem or a button that said peace. And I would be sure and take money because I’m certain he will charge people for the free event!

DJT didn't attend Biden's inauguration. Honestly, I don't want them to attend as it didn't hurt him. So I don't, see why it would hurt a Democrat.

Democrats should not, or maybe they will fear revenge and retribution. Now we have Senator Schiff, he hates him. He hates Nancy Pelosi. He's not going to defend the Constitution, probably shred it.

This is just sickening.

American Carnage Part Deaux.

It is up to Joe and Jill to attend. It was nasty that the doors to the White House were locked and no one to greet them.

The orange one could pull a God Father, "Today I finished all family business." Arrest a shit load of Dem elites on national TV.
