Thread: 18 House Democrats to skip Trump’s inauguration

Will seem more like a Trump Rally if they are not there.

What these people are doing is shirking their duty and sworn oath to stand behind the President of the United States, it is a disgrace. They should all lose their jobs! This is the disgrace of our government today in that they think they can do whatever they want and not do their jobs that they are well paid by the taxpayers for. Trump needs to drain the swamp of these kind of government servants we do not need them.

Perhaps he has been in DC too long and forgets that he, like the rest of us, is only entitled to one vote.

This is what I predict. I predict that after Trump takes office next Friday, the vast majority of the American People, US citizens especially but many legal immigrants as well, are going to see a President working feverishly, determined and fast, to fix our country to benefit all Americans. At that point, all the snowflakes, sore losers, socialists, race-baiters, Muslimites, ethnicity bearers, and other self-interest groups who survive on identity politics will become a part of history, like an old glove on display in a Museum, having lost all political relevancy in the United States.

I am just so excited about this amazing election, where my candidate, a person I've wanted to run for President since 1987, 30 years, 3 long destructive decades for our country, ran, won and will be inaugurated next Friday, that no one, not a soul, not John Lewis, not Jennifer Holliday, not Jake Tapper, not anyone on this forum, no reporter, no article, no media comment, no "intel" person, no "ethics" official, no one can mar the total enthusiasm I have for what takes place on January 20 with the swearing in of Donald J Trump as the 45th President of the United States.

We have been blessed with an enormous gift. No serious common sense person should ever kick a gift-horse in the mouth.

You have been a very faithful cheerleader Judy and for many it has been contagious. We all want to see President Elect Trump and the new administration succeed at putting America First. We want to see his promise to hire American First come true. I am not sure it has been the primary focus of any administration in recent decades or longer to focus on the citizens and what is best for us and the nation. We have been sold out to the international world and we have paid a heavy price.

We cannot sit back and be complacent. We must be vigilant in holding their feet to the fire as always.

It is now 23 Democrats who will not attend. A CNN Political Commentator mentioned their constituents may be offended and he referred to the undocumented and Muslims.

I just saw that on the news GeorgiaPeach! Well, I think that puts on display what kind of Clueless Self-Centered Congresscritters we have in DC. They're snowflakes unfit to serve the people of the United States, let alone their own districts. They are worried about their color, language, religion and kudos instead of our citizens, borders, jobs, security, peace and prosperity.

This inauguration will clearly be about far more than just the inauguration of Donald J Trump. It's about the future, instead of the past, it's about a new direction, a better course of new policies, instead of the failed ones that got US into the mess we're in, it's about a new hope of national prosperity and world peace, instead of the past of getting something for yourself at the expense of someone else.

It's about new relationships throughout the world that serve our interests while being fair to other countries, instead of one-sided agreements that only serve the foreign interest at the expense of the Americans.

This inauguration isn't for black civil rights leaders from the 60's, it's not about Muslim immigration lawyers, it's not about illegal aliens, it's not about overpriced health care for 30 million people underwritten by the rest of the country who can't afford their own, it's not about unions that force American workers to buy cars made in Mexico, it's not about any of that, it's about a New Day of great jobs, revitalized inner cities, higher incomes, lower poverty, zero illegal immigration, reduced legal immigration, education choice, great health insurance options of your choice, new infrastructure, and so much good news about winning that many will wonder why in the hell we didn't do these things before??!!

The answer of course is we haven't had a President for decades who knew what to do or how to do it who wanted to do it. Now we do. Lets make the most of these years that we can because there won't be another one in this century.

Yep, every liberal Hillary supporter can stay home and cry in their soup if that's what makes them feel better.

Six False Accusations by John Lewis, Hero-Turned-Hack

Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) is a civil rights hero. He is also one of the most partisan members of the Democratic Party, and frequently accuses his political opponents, falsely, of racism.

Lewis also uses his iconic stature to deflect criticism when he is called out for these false attacks, exploiting — and, arguably, demeaning — the civil rights movement.
Here are five of the worst recent examples of what has become, for Rep. Lewis, a shamefully routine practice.

2008: Falsely accused Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Gov. Sarah Palin of racism. Lewis attacked McCain and Palin, then running against Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) for president: “Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin are sowing the seeds of hatred and division,” he said, going on to suggest that the Republican ticket were creating the climate for racist terrorism. “[Democrat] George Wallace never threw a bomb … but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans … four little girls were killed on Sunday morning when a church was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama.” Years later, McCain still had not forgiven him: “I’ll never forgive John Lewis,” he told AL.com in 2013.

2010: Falsely claimed that Tea Party demonstrators said the “N-word” during anti-Obamacare rally. Lewis joined several other members of the Congressional Black Caucus in claiming that a crowd of thousands of Tea Party protesters on the steps of Capitol Hill had shouted the “N-word” at them when they walked through the crowd — apparently in the hope of provoking a reaction. “It surprised me that people are so mean and we can’t engage in a civil dialogue and debate,” Lewis claimed. But he never proved the accusation — and when Andrew Breitbart offered to donate $10,000, then $100,000, to the United Negro College Fund for any video evidence of the “N-word,” none surfaced — despite hundreds of cameras present.

2012: Falsely accused Republicans of wanting to take Americans back to Jim Crow. Lewis gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina in which he recalled being beaten by white racists, along with fellow Freedom Riders, in 1961. He concluded by implying that Republicans wanted to bring back those days of blood and hatred: “Brothers and sisters, do you want to go back? Or do you want to keep America moving forward?”


2016: Falsely compared Donald Trump to George Wallace. Reviving his theme from 2008, Lewis said that Trump reminded him of the governors of the Jim Crow South and the police who let dogs loose on demonstrators: “I’ve been around a while and Trump reminds me so much of a lot of the things that George Wallace said and did … Sometimes I feel like I am reliving part of my past. I heard it so much growing up in the South…I heard it so much during the days of the civil rights movement. As a people, I just think we could do much better,” he told the Los Angeles Times in an interview.

2017: Falsely claimed Trump is “illegitimate” because of a Russian “conspiracy.” Joining the tin foil hat brigade, Lewis claimed that Trump was a kind of “Manchurian Candidate” put in place by Russia: “I don’t see the president-elect as a legitimate president. … I think there was a conspiracy on the part of the Russians, and others, that helped him get elected.”
Update:

2016: Falsely claimed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) played no role in the civil rights movement. Lewis, a supporter of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s bid for the presidency, tried to trash Sanders’s civil rights credentials. “I never saw him. I never met him,” Lewis said. Proof later emerged of Sanders’s arrest in civil rights protests in Chicago in the 1960s.
