I know a junior high band that might play for his inauguration if he would pay all their expenses...ahead of time.

Trump went on facebook and begged people to come to his inauguration. More bus-parking permits have been issued for the Women's March on Jan. 21 than have been issued for Trump's inauguration -- more than twice as many. Trump's team can't get any A-list entertainer to show up for his celebration.

Bikers, however, have promised to form "a wall of meat" around Trump for his Bigly Day. And the bikers are going to make Mexico pay for it.

And he's languishing at 40% approval rating. The lowest for any modern American president-elect. Of course, Trump is claiming those poll numbers are rigged.

A vengeful, pouty little man-child is about to take over the most powerful job on the planet and he's tweets about a parody teevee show and his tanking poll numbers.

You think his poll numbers are low now? Just wait until he's been in office a few days. He's going to reach "Cheney levels" in no time at all.

Many in US Skeptical Trump Can Handle Presidential Duties


When the Rethuglicans try to lie and spin this awful news for Trump, remember that we have truth on our side, not fantasy. Trump is coming into office as the new president with terrible, terrible favorables and trust. More and more people, including conservatives who voted for him are regretting what they did.

Of course, any news that suggests anything less than massive acclaim for him must be fake or rigged. It's the only way he can keep his Hindenburg-sized ego from crashing and burning.

Jerry: I know a junior high band that might play for his inauguration if he would pay all their expenses...ahead of time.

They better make sure the check clears before performing.

Shaw: Bikers, however, have promised to form "a wall of meat" around Trump for his Bigly Day. And the bikers are going to make Mexico pay for it.

I've seen pictures of those guys, and it would be more like "a wall of flab". But getting Mexico to pay for it is a smart move. We all know Trump won't.

The only reason any sensible person would attend this inauguration is out of curiosity to see if Trump makes an ass of himself again right in the middle of it.

I'll be at the movies with friends, and then I'll be getting ready for the Women's March @Boston Common the next day.

We know that Mr. Obama wrote most of his inaugural speech. Can anyone imagine what it would sound like if Trump wrote any of his?

We know the country is in better shape than it was when Mr. Obama took over the presidency in 2009. I wonder how long it will take until the Goopers run it into the ground and cause another financial disaster. It is a fact that that Wall Street and the economy always do better under Democrats.

Also, let's not forget that Trump promised that his health care plan would cover every American and would be less expensive than Obamacare. Let's see him deliver on that promise.

For those with a sense of what is really happening Trump's inauguration could well be the greatest comedy act of 2017. Or, it could be Greek tragedy. Possibly both.

We live in strange and interesting times.

I hope you'll have a blog report on the march.

With any luck he'll hire Melania's speechwriter. "Four score and seven years ago, I did a far, far better thing than I had ever done before, by taking up arms against a sea of troubles....." If he writes it himself, he'll make Sarah Palin sound like Churchill by comparison.

Trump promised that his health care plan would cover every American and would be less expensive than Obamacare.

All we know so far is that his plan involves insulting the pharmaceutical industry. That should sort everything out.

Anything like that will show up on YouTube, so there's no need to torture yourself with the rest of it.
