1. Same.

2. “This is a developing story and will be updated.”

   Is it really? What else is there to say lol.

   Good for her.

3. Dont blame her, she didn’t go to Carter’s funeral either. Seems she’s done her time with politics and is over it now. I’d probably be the same way after what she’s been through.

4. It’s not Trump attended Biden’s either.

5. As she should

6. But it’s ok to the republicans that Mercedes has barely been seen the last 4 years and not living with the marmalade maniac anymore.

7. I’m just wondering if Melania will show up. 

8. Feels like Trump destroyed the last bit of mutual goodwill and tradition between the two parties, especially since leaving office. This plus Abbott raising the flag for the inauguration tells me there’s going to be far more open animosity from this point on.

9. Good. Being the bigger person hasn’t been working out for us lately.

10. Trump skipped Biden’s inauguration because he was acting like a pissy child. Not going to Trump’s inauguration is 100% fair game.

11. I don’t think any of the former presidents should be there

12. It’s MLK Jr Day. Use it as a day to engage your community.

13. I’m also skipping it.

14. Yea I tend to not hang out at parties celebrating rapists/bigots either

15. I don’t really care, do you?

16. Inauguration being on MLK Day this year makes me so fucking sick

17. Remember neither Melania or Donald attended Biden’s.

18. This makes me respect her even more. All the wives should boycott. Don’t normalize respecting an insurrectionist scum.

19. Hey, me too! Anyone else skipping it?

20. Anyone who has any self respect would not be there.

    He is a pathetic self-serving man who will plunge us into multiple self made crises.

21. hoping for a beautiful day and even smaller crowds than last time.

22. Good. I get the impression she no longer believes her words “when they go low we go high”. Sometimes, we learn from failure. 

    Wish more Democrats were like this. For years, the Democrats have said Trump is a monstrous fascist, a racist thug who threatens American democracy. 

    Acting politely like all is normal just either shows (1) they never believed their claim, or (2) they just don’ care. Both are ugly looks. Showing up with a plastered smile is the very image of Vichy collaboration. 

23. Glad to see her going low!!

    And as a Black woman, I stand behind her!

24. Extend to them the same customs and courtesies Trump extends to Biden in 2020: none. Criminals don’t deserve respect.

25. I, too, will be skipping it.

26. Good for her. The time for the high road is long past.

27. I’ll be at work. If anything after his inauguration I’m tuning out of news and politics. Fuck MAGA and let them see how well it all works out for them.

28. Good! No one with class, dignity or shame should be attending this.

29. Everyone should skip it.

30. Pence shouldn’t go either, but we all know what a bootlicker he is.

31. Barack should skip it too.

32. Considering they are trashing tradition by spitting on the legacy of president carter I don’t think any of the presidents should show up

33. Absolutely good for her (and her mental health)

    I will be skipping too, but may catch the highlight reel on late night, should be a riot…

34. Why should ANYONE go? He broke his oath to the Constitution by trying a coup against the government. He should not have been able to run due to the 14th amendment. This inauguration is a farce.

35. Everyone who does not support Trump and does not support a fascist takeover of the United States should all skip the inauguration. Period.

36. When they go low, I’m going somewhere else.

37. Good for her. I’m skipping it, too. I wasn’t invited, of course, nor will I be traveling for it.

    I’m just not giving him my consideration that day.

38. Finally *someone* flipping this motherfucker the bird like he’s deserved his entire life. Rolling out the red carpet for him, Merchan wishing him “godspeed” in his second term, fuck that.

39. Good for her. I wish others would follow her lead

40. I would never go to my bully’s celebration either

41. Let’s be honest, he did literally call her a ‘monkey’- Fuck civility.

42. Mad respect Michelle Obama, mad respect.

43. More than a few folks using the example that Trump skipped Bidens as a reason for her not to go, which is fair.

    Let me remind you that, at no point, did a single person in trumps camp use civility or restraint or common decency when addressing the first black family to be in the White House. Trump et al, which includes any single person who supported him, consistently used racism, slander, outright lies and blatantly ignorant stories about the Obamas – at no point in time did donald trump call his people to heel and infact we all heard and watched him further those actions. To point a fine point on it: donald trump and his entire entourage are racist, sexist homophobic liars who’ve money and idiots to say whatever they want about whoever they wanted, and clearly got away with it.

    I wouldn’t blame Michelle Obama for showing up to spit on him and the abruptly leaving. I wouldnt blame her for showing up in a tshirt that had Thomas Crooks face on it. I wouldn’t blame her for showing up and punching him in his fat-makeup caked face.

    Anyone who doesnt go should be celebrated for standing up to that walking piece of shit.

44. Half the country will skip it.
    I have a new rule in my house. If the TV starts talking about Trump, change the channel and we take a shot. I don’t care if it’s 7 am /s
