Who else is not watching the Inauguration?
I told myself that if I ever wrote a book I would write one about the Trump years and call it "That was some weird sh*t" (quoting, ironically, George W. Bush after he listened to Trump's 2017 "American Carnage" Inaugural address).

I for one see no need on January 20th to listen to a rapist, yes rapist, r-a-p-i-s-t, insurrectionist, authoritarian, grifter, convicted con artist, liar, and generally all around awful human being. He will place his hand on a Trump bible and lie to protect, preserve, and defend the constitution, and then turn around and do everything in his power to destroy the constitution, like he did in his first term.

I'll probably be doing something many DU-Denizens don't, working.

Me too. Somebody has to do what it takes to get gas down below $2.00 a gallon again...

I don't know if there's any national organizing for this, but I plan on NOT spending a single dime for 3 days. No movie tickets, no takeout, no groceries, no gas. If you want to scare the incoming administration, stop spending money.

You'll just spend it catching up 3 days later. 

I don't watch democrats being inaugurated either, DUmmies.  Nobody cares what you do or don't do, but could you please come up with something more original than 50 root canal "jokes?"

Is that when your welfare check comes?

Why not do it for 3 weeks or months?

NOT spending a single dime

Years ago, didn't they attempt to crush the "Evil Bush Family Empire" with some sort of no dime day? If so, I guess it worked because Bush is no longer in office. This latest attempt by a DUmmie should work, too. It'll probably just take 4 years to feel the effect.

They tried it a couple of times. "Not One Damned Dime Day" is what they called it back then. Snopes.com claims it was a protest of the War in Iraq. NotOneDamnedDime.com (note the site type extension; not .org or .net) claims that "several million" in their first "protest" _{(read:pout-rage)} on 07 Jan, 2005, with "tens of millions more hearing" the voice of their little hissy fit.

In other words, it was your typical leftist - non-event - protest.

Ah, the golden age of CU and ridiculing the absurdity of the DUmp. Good times.

Hi5. I knew they had a slogan with it and thought "damn" was in it, but I just couldn't remember exactly what it was. I guess I unknowingly participated in it because, during that period, I didn't buy a single item that cost "one dime". Everything I bought cost a lot of dimes.
