The Inauguration

[Tank]

Going to be interesting to see how everything goes for this on Friday. Can't begin to imagine how much security will be there, and it'll be needed as there are plenty of threats to disrupt the inauguration itself as well as the parade afterwards. One group has put out a video calling people to action to disrupt as much as possible, citing all kinds of things (many of them erroneous) about what Trump will do as POTUS. Their claim is that the process of political reform isn't working through the vote, and they indicate they would have reacted this way regardless of who was elected.

The backlash against artists performing for the inauguration has reached ridiculous heights. Today, Andrea Bocelli pulled out after receiving death threats if he were to perform. What kind of morons threaten a blind man for performing? It's not like he was out there carrying the banner for Trump, nor were most of the others who have been singled out.

Have the people who cry with such loud voices about the need for ever-expanding tolerance lost their ability to do the same for someone they don't like? The bar of civility has not only been dropped, I fear it's been permanently destroyed.

Wouldn't doing all these things just make his point greater?  And well, he isn't really emotionally stable.  He could just go off the rails have have all protesters Clintoned.  Then have anyone protesting that Clintoned.

Would the threat be less serious if Bocelli wasn't blind? Asking for Stevie Wonder.

[Blarg]

No, the Clinton henchmen always sneak up from behind before popping a cap into the victims skull.

Democrats need to stop saying he's illegitimate. Perhaps an argument can be made that the election was tainted but that was to no fault of the Donald. By definition, his presidency is 100% legitimate. There's no evidence that suggests his campaign colluded with the Russians.

[the dude abides]

Scott Baio has received zero death threats because nobody remembers who the fuck he is.

You don't want to know what Trump will do when he sneaks up from behind.

That's what makes jogging in Fort Marcy Park so adventurous.

I'm going to cut America some slack on this one.  

Since about 48% of voters are either legally retarded, easily manipulated or just don't give a fuck, I'm willing to let the other 52% go apeshit.

It's not like some honest 3rd party candidate or an honorable outsider was elected.  America elected its biggest douchebag, literally its largest bag of douche, to be president.  Stop acting like the 52% are acting unreasonable.

We didn't elect Hilary.

Trump is on record making his move full frontal.

[mtangelsfan]

Its funny when the libs can't deal with a subject.

oh, and 52% aren't acting this way.  I didn't vote for Trump and I am not trying to censor anyone.

 

[arch stanton]

The libs? Are these the inhabitants of a particular North African country?

[mtangelsfan]

yes

Protesting Trump is fine. Death threats not so much so they don't get a pass.

I don't think we'll have 52% go apeshit.

We'll have about 0.001% go apeshit, mostly funded by George Soros and the DNC.

Lol. Did you copy that from an email you recieved?

[mtangelsfan]

What do you think about all this pressure, threats and all regarding the inauguration Glen?

[Tank]

i have no issue with people being upset with trump, though i doubt there are 52% of the citizenry who are being dbags about it. 

i think this is primarily from the anarchists crowd and *maybe* some BLM people. making death threats against people who perform is beyond a reasonable protest. people who have been asked to perform were not necessarily big huge trump proponents in this election. if someone doesn't want to buy a Bocelli album because of his performing at the inauguration, fine by me. but threatening his life over it? that's the kind of stuff that brings civility to an end, and we're all poorer for it. 

[Adam]

What is more illegitimate? Trump's election or Hillary's nomination?

[Tank]

hillary's nomination, hands down. all the political maneuvering behind the scenes  to hold down bernie and his supporters speaks loudly to this, not to mention all the emails with the DNC, the corrupt leadership they had, getting questions for the debate in advance, etc.
