More than 40 Democratic lawmakers now skipping Trumps inauguration-- look whose name is missing
Here is the list. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/01/16/more-than-30-democratic-lawmakers-now-skipping-trumps-inauguration/?utm_term=.9c19a171b2cd
One name I don't see on there is Bernie Sanders. There are other sources saying he does plan to attend. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=Sanders+inauguration
What's up with that? How do the DUers who pilloried Hillary for agreeing to attend feel about that?
My own view on the subject remains unchanged. I really wish Hillary would not attend, and I don't understand why she feels compelled to do so. As for Sanders, I'm not surprised. I wonder, however, if some of his most ardent supporters are, particularly those who were so critical of Clinton's decision?

2. Bernie will be the Thorn in his side
And will get lots of press doing so too

3. Oh, publicity
that makes it alright then. What did you have to say about Clinton's attending?

27. Do Sanders haters really think he just wants publicity?
That he worked in Congress quietly and effectively for years, but is suddenly motivated by personal fame? Is that the BS that supposedly progressive detractors are actually alleging?

29. You will note
that FreakingDJ suggested the importance of publicity. Take it up with him.

31. He's getting a lot of publicity lately.
Maybe if he had significant publicity when he was running. We'd have a Democrat in office now.
Good to see someone who had been campaigning so hard continue the fight.
Too bad he and Hillary are attending the inauguration. It legitimizes it. If Bernie skipped, it would be no big deal. But here's Hillary's chance to say this election was stolen but... status quo.

35. I know
It sucks only being the politician with the second highest number of TV appearances in the country.
If the press did it's job, it would have covered him and only him 24/7.
It's good to see you are at least honest about maintaining a blatant double standard.
tecelote (3,630 posts) Tue Jan 17, 2017, 06:38 AM
36. I like Bernie and Hillary.
There's my double standard for you.

43. And the media coverage of Hillary?
Any thoughts on that?

84. Is Hillary out selling another book?
Sanders is on a book tour
Gothmog (35,039 posts) Tue Jan 17, 2017, 11:59 AM
67. Bernie will not give up his book sales to boycott the inauguration

4. Gotta get out and meet-and-greet.
Those books aren't going to sell themselves.

5. True
and apparently, according to another poster in this thread, he needs the publicity.

Again.

13. My, you are easily offended
What precisely constitutes "raging" in my OP?
NCTraveler (21,198 posts) Tue Jan 17, 2017, 06:41 AM
37. No clue how one would get to the thought of "rage"
Reading your op.

42. I take it as an indication
That any view other than absolute adulation is unacceptable.

82. And I Take That As An Indication. . .
. . .that any view other than absolute denigration is unacceptable.
Is there no middle ground?

34. How is it that people feel compelled to inform me
on what I myself wrote about in the OP, almost as if two dozen words were too much to read?
How about you? Are you looking forward to the festivities?

And on and on it goes; this is a pretty long thread, much squibble-squabbling, the primitives wiggle-waggling their armpits at each other.

By the way, I may have given the wrong impression, but it's late, it's cold, and I'm grouchy myself.
On this matter specifically, franksolich considers himself in 100% accordance with Jugs; her presidential candidate should've been the Democrat nominee back in 2008, but was rudely shoved aside by male chauvinist pigs afraid of strong, confident women and giggly-gaggly primitives all aflutter about having a "black" (quotation marks intentional) president.
And then this past year the male chauvinist pigs and the gimme-gimmie-gimme crowd tried to deny her again, and almost succeeded.
<<<doesn't blame Jugs the least for feeling bitter.

franksolich,
PhDD is irritable, grouchy, and needful.
Needful.
You know what needs to be done.

This is just DUlusional. Nobody pays one whit of attention to the opposition party Senators during the inauguration. Bernie may get a soundbite in on BSDNC and maybe someone at the WaPo will give him a one-sentence quote, but no one really lends any credence to this.
What nonsense.

What a miserable scrunt.

Every D member of the House and Senate could stay home for all I care. It's not like there'd be any surprise in their so doing. IRL, of course, I think Sen. Manchin of WV would attend. And IRL, I don't think Trump cares. about their futile tantrumming gesture, either.

The Hillary thing is pretty simple, DU idiots. It's more important for her to stay connected to the power brokers than to cater to your impotent temper tantrums. If she stays on the good side of the power people, she gets put on top of the pile and you tools will line up like a set of magnetic wrenches.

Seriously though, I don't blame her for being bitchy.
The election of Messalina Agrippina in either 2008 or 2016 would have resulted in unmitigable disaster for America and Americans--although surely no worse than what we've endured under Obozo--but I'm looking at this from her side, attempting to empathize with how she feels.
<<<does whatever it takes, to get along with people.
She got screwed, and it'd be unnatural of her not to be resentful.
She got screwed in 2008 when the Democrats, liberals, and primitives got attracted by this flashy new toy, a "black" man, and chose him instead of her.
And then she nearly got screwed in the earlier part of 2016, when the gimme crowd almost succeeded in getting that grouchy old sourassed sourpuss the Democrat nomination, but she dodged that bullet, a bullet she shouldn't have ever had to deal with in the first place.
She did however get screwed in that while Messalina Agrippina finally got that long-delayed honor due her a very long time ago, her candidate was so old and frail and ill she couldn't possibly survive the rigors of a four-year, much less an eight-year, presidency. (I'm still convinced she's going to keel over before Bill does.)
If I'd been screwed as much as Jugs has, I'd be a bitch too.

Shouldn't Bernie be giving his book away for free?

If anyone needs me, I'll be in the shed out back finding an icepick to shove into my mind's ear, since I will apparently never, ever get the sound of Billy Ray Cyrus singing "itchy bitchy twat" out of my head.
