I know that. My post answers why.
Lol OK dude.
Sorry but your post is so fucking bad, especially the "puppet that got elected" bit that I don't have much more for you than that.
I hope you wake up someday.
I'll be driving several hours to visit my grandmother on Friday, so I'll probably listen to it on NPR. I think not watching/listening is a bad idea on the basis that we should use every tool we have (including Trump's own words) to challenge him, his policies, his needless "wag the dog" routine, his lies to the American people, and where the country goes over the next two years. Use Trump against himself, Republicans in office that support him, and try to show the opposite to those who previously supported him so we have a chance of righting the ship.
I don't think we can wait four years. We need to start tearing the man down and calling him on the shit he shovels from day one and that means knowing what kind of shit spewing from his mouth.

He's the President of the United States. We are well past the point of normalization. No matter what happens he gets a portrait, he gets a fucking Library, he gets put down in the history books, etc. I agree he must be challenged at every corner but that's why we have elections and all that time in-between. At the moment, he's just being sworn in a month after winning the election. He's allowed to have his one day. I won't be watching or attending, but he can have his shitty day.
After that, EVERYTHING is fair game.
I dunno, weather forecast said it was going to be 54 and sunny on Saturday. Hopefully the weather gods are with us one last time before it all turns cold again.
Wish I could come up with a snazzy sign slogan, have limited art materials here. :/

Option 1) people sit back and let him have a shitty day where he celebrates himself
Option 2) people kick and scream from day 1 and try to ruin his shitty day
which option is preferable to you?

then there should be no issue here - no, i don't have to wait for him to officially take office: i've had 18+ months of rhetoric, damage to trade deals, outright bigotry & misogyny, threats to NATO and horrific cabinet choices showing exactly where his priorities lie
it's also fine for you to draw some arbitrary line in the sand and say "no, this is HIS day, but after that we should do these things!" but you can't expect everyone else to abide that strange logic.
also for posterity: my prior post illustrated my reasons for said protest. i'm not concerned with "normalizing" things so much as the rest of what i & stumps said.
also this - i very much want him knowing his fuckery isn't tolerated, or welcomed. he can keep telling himself he won because of the people, and we can keep reminding him nah
Dude what the hell? That post was about my mate who was recruited by the "Revolutionära fronten" (translated to revolutionary front. Swedish wiki: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionära_fronten) which is/was a militant radical group. He got fucking brainwashed by them and is now in jail.

You can't ruin his shitty day, he's already won and he's a sociopath. He would likely take a perverse pleasure in the "cry babies" kicking and screaming as he steps inside their hallowed White House and proceeds to hang his portrait up while relaxing in his faux-gold chair right behind the Resolute Desk. He'll sit there idly content with the knowledge that no matter what, he won. And, nothing they can do can take that away from him at the moment.

That is cool, now i await for their "Rock Against Trump" compilation.
The person who gets a hissy-fit about every little slight directed at him? He will be the biggest crybaby when he sees that there are more protesters present than his followers.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.

This is ultimately what all of us should be doing. No matter where we are in the world.
I work for socially left man that also believes in climate change, and I manage about 12/35 people that he employs. I mean a great deal to his business and its functionality. He voted for Trump and is 100% behind him.
Do I dare release my feelings on Friday? How should I do it? He already knows I'm liberal.

Wow, I had no idea there were protests against Bush's first inauguration.
What's funny is back then, I wouldn't understand the outrage because Bush didn't do anything evil yet.
Whereas now, Donald Trump is already starting day one as a Russian operative who serves Putin's interests.
There better be lots of angry chanting when his motorcade starts moving through the streets.

Yes he is.
You don't get to close your eyes, cover your ears and go "lalalalalala". He's your president, deal with that how you will.
Yup.
maybe this is a forward thing to say but... I just really hope no one tries to kill him because not only would that be fucked up, and not a way to solve the problem, but it would give the GOP/altRight/etc even more power
dude should never even have been in the running for president as he's not only not qualified, but quite literally the opposite of everything a president should be. It absolutely baffles and terrifies me that he's made it to this position. The next few years and or future will not be a comfortable place for those that value knowledge, education, privacy, and fairness... let alone any kind of non-white minority.

I am all for puting a spanner in the works. There is too much complacency at the moment though, so it ain't going to make much of a difference. But if I was from the US, I would probably be out there.

Except that he literally is your president if you live in the United States. Like it or not it's true.

Many a chad was left hanging.
That said, Dubya hadn't made his country a mockery of the free world before taking office the way Trump has.
Hey, that's not fair.
I'm a centrist mostly (One of 5 people in the UK who still likes the Lib Dems) and that isn't how I feel at all. Trump is a racist demagogue and I would never apply The "both sides" nonsense to compare him to Obama. The right to protest is thankfully protected on both sides of the Atlantic.
The fact is however is that the howling of the right over Obama was just as protected, although racist asshats can go swivel.
If you want to protest against Trump, you have 4 years and hopefully no longer. Go out there and use your Democratic rights and let nobody tell you that you can't or shouldn't.
This is the same man who keeps whining about the popular vote win for Clinton being illegitimate even though he knows it's not. It bothers him so much that he didn't win the popular vote, he still cries about it. Donald has the thinnest skin imaginable, it will constantly bother him that there will be protesters outside the white house everyday for the rest of his term that he will not even focus on his job. I guarantee you, he will pop outside the white house and get into a pissing match with them.
I remember watching it live on Dish Network in 480i or whatever the SD standard for that was.
Well, almost live, i remember switching to the OTA broadcast and that being a second or two ahead of the satellite feed.
Seems like yesterday, not 16 years ago.
I mean, if they are like me, they would actually have the right the renounce their U.S. citizenship and therefore that cheetos sprayed nazi isn't their president. I'm actually considering returning to my home country and renouncing my citizenship, but that's a big decision to make and I need time to think about it. It all depends if the Democrats can win 2018 or not.

I would love for this to happen so so much
But I don't think the SS will let him do that
Fat Wreck said:
Hahaha nice! But on a serious note, that's a little vague. I assume they'll just keep all the proceeds in a piggy bank until something happens?
Then he'll get into a pissing match with them too.

I don't think the White House can survive a three-way piss-off. Or, at least not remain as a white house anymore

99% of the people saying "not my president" aren't going anywhere. Obviously everyone knows you're free to leave the country.

It isn't pointless. For one, it signals to Europe that the US is divided. That Trump doesnt represent all of us.
They don't need your approval fortunately.
Trump means a whole lot more to UK than you think.
A fascist being inaugurated? It's a show of detest, nobody thinks they're gonna show up and scream "I OBJECT" and ride off into the sunset with Bernie as president while the shrek soundtrack plays
Respect these nuts g

if secretary Clinton had won then I would be fine if repubs protested because that is their right as free Americans.
this is going to be the funniest thing I read all day and it's only 6am.

Republicans would have the right to protest just like the people who are protesting Trump's Inauguration. It's a right every US citizen has.
Trump is just as polarizing as Obama.
I keep telling myself it will be okay, we will make it through this but Trump terrifies me. The thing that's even scarier than him is that tea party bullshit finally has full control and they're going to implement austerity measures and give tax cuts to the rich.
As for watching the inauguration, it's not something I normally do. The only one I can remember is that we stopped school to watch Obama's in 08 which was cool. I was in high school and was just glad we got an hour or two break from school.
I got a flat tire yesterday. Thanks Obama. So I'll be at the tire store tomorrow during the timeframe of the inauguration. I imagine the TV will be tuned to this. I'm kinda interested in it being a trainwreck and that draws me to it tbh.

But why? I don't get your point.
ya'll should be proud and celebrating the fact that we have freedom and we get to peacefully transfer power to whoever wins the election every four years, something most people in the world would kill to have (like our ancestors in the revolutionary war did). or you can just kick rocks and whine about it instead.
