I plan on keeping my world free of Anusface for the next four years. No inauguration, no press conferences (if the pussy is ever man enough to hold one), no State of the Union, no nothing until the white trash is out of the White House. ---

Sir! As a proud member of the trailer-dwelling peckerwood community, let me advise that Il Douche is no more “white trash” than he is a “blue collar billionaire”! We don’t have all our teeth, but we have all our marbles! ---

> [@up\_the\_junction](#): > > ‘Trump’s Inauguration’ … still a ridiculous notion. Possibly the most fucked up thing I’ll ever see in my life. God, I hope so, but I bet it gets topped within 100 days. No chance of me watching but then again I’ve never watched any other either. ---

I don’t think I’ve ever watched one, so not sure why I would start now. > [@Lobohan](#): > > …Hillary is likely the most prepared person to be president on Earth… People here (or maybe it’s just you) keep saying stuff like that, and I don’t know where it comes from. One and 1/3 terms as a Senator and one term as SecState. Been out of government now or 4 years. Kerry and Biden have her beat, hands down, and that’s just off the top of my head thinking for 2 seconds. ---

> [@BeeGee](#): > > … I figure anything good will make the news … More to the point, anything good will make the SNL and late-night comedy sketches. I’m not going to watch it for the same reason that I don’t voluntarily expose myself to radiation, but January 20th is also the date that Bill Maher’s new season begins, and that I’m going to watch for sure. Bill Maher is like a therapeutic anti-Trump. ---

Maybe. It IS a chance to play “ **Beer Trump** ”. You have to drink every time The Dumbald restates the exact same point for two sentences in a row. (Twice if its for three sentences… and if he does four or more, you have to drink a shot.) Its a social drink if he says “Sad”. Or says YU-uuuge. Or Biggly. Or Unbelievable. Or touches his thumb to his forefinger as if he was saying “OK”. Or touches his thumb to his four fingers together as if to symbolize that yes, he is indeed… talking… or possibly making fun of the sign language interpreter. Or holds his hand palm out, finger pointed up as if he’s Trolling Jesus. Or does the mouth-closed pouty Douche-Face smile. Or twists back and forth with one arm raised like a cheap department store Santa that takes presents but doesn’t give them. ---

I think I’ll schedule a colonoscopy for that day. ---

I just checked the calendar and the 20th is on a Friday. I’m off work on Friday evenings, but that particular Friday I’ll be doing something else. ---

I tend not to watch shitty reality TV shows featuring washed up “B-” celebrities, so… no. I think it will be simply vulgar, showy and tasteless. ---

Any chance Alec Baldwin is the stand-in, and when the chief justice brings out the bible, it’s actually an SNL actor and they look at each other, then turn towards us and say: Ha, Ha, America… just kidding about the whole president thing.
