Ya gonna watch Trump's Presidential Inauguration on Friday, January 20?

Well, are ya gonna watch?

After some reflection, I am going to ask THE MOD if this poll should go to IMHO. Just Wonder’in…

Love that the answer I actually thought is in the choices.

I plan to refer to Acting President Pence instead. I don’t like the guy, but he can at least be President.

Rockefeller’s, a lovely bank building that was a fine concert venue some years ago, has now resumed offering shows. They’re throwing an Inauguration Ball that evening. First band on the list: “The Satanic Overlords of Rock & Roll.”

My answer: “HELLO NO.” Besides, it’s a work day…

‘Trump’s Inauguration’ … still a ridiculous notion. Possibly the most fucked up thing I’ll ever see in my life.

Looking back, my norm is to not watch the swearings/inaugurations, at least not to watch them live anyway – made a deliberate effort to catch it in 2009 due to historic considerations but that has been it for a long time.

As long as clawing out my own eyeballs remains an option, odds are against it.

No. I think even my grandfather, who went to the Mall for every inauguration from FDR to Bill Clinton’s first term except when he was stationed overseas, would have sat this one out.

I’m fairly meh about inaugurations and the inaugural balls/concerts. I watched Clinton’s in 1992 but not 1996. I watched a little bit of Obama’s 2012 one. Mostly it depends on the quality of the musicians involved in the concert, which pretty much guarantees I won’t watch Trump’s apart from what turns up on the news.

I’m going to watch? Curious to see the tone he strikes.

I shall watch it with pleasure and satisfaction. <ducks>

I’ll watch it because I like seeing stupid people try to bullshit their way out of a book report for something they didn’t even start reading.

Lucked out – I’ll be at work, stuck in meetings all day, just by chance (almost never happens). My wife is mad at me – it won’t be quite as easy for her to avoid the whole thing.

No. I’ll be in the Bahamas with a lady friend. On the whole, I’ll bet I’ll be happier than most.

For what, Ted Nugent and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir?

Mind you, if they’re performing together I’d tune in to watch that.

Admit it, that would be one awesome duet.

Rule 34, indeed.

No, but I’ve never watched the inauguration of any of his predecessors, either. Since he had a much bigger impact on my life than any president, I was much more interest in watching the departure of our “sheriff” Joe Arpaio.

Yeah, I’d rather watch the ducks too. Birdwatching is fun.
