We will not watch. We will be riding our bikes trying to cope with the knowledge that our futures are in peril. We have started our resistance by deleting our Meta relationships, reducing purchases, stopped watching mainstream media, donating to people and animal charities, eating healthy, exercising, subscribing to this and other alternative media, shunning MAGA family members, etc. We will add more resistance as we learn more.

My goal is to be more impactful and less passive. But for now, I will not look at the bastard fuckface ever!

Perfect assessment of the current situation. What a complete shit show. Michelle Obama always a Queen. Could only be better if she was organising a dance party across town that drew a bigger crowd. God help us all

We don't get MLK day off at my workplace. I will be at work and definitely NOT watching. Not even a little. I still can't believe that we will have a criminal in WH. I still can't believe that for so many people the whiniest,full of grievances demented toddler is "manly man". I still can't believe that for so many people, dude who takes dump on gold plated crapper is a champion of a working man....

No way in hell I'll be watching. I stopped watching any cable news on 11/6/2024. The country is going to hell in a handbasket and there is nothing that can be done to stop it. We can resist, however, we have no control in any branch of the government. I am terrified for what is to come. This isn't a clown show, that would be harmless. This is a blatant FU America from all the people that voted for him out of pure rebellion and utter stupidity. They are as sick as DJT is.

Michelle is spot on. The democrats keep telling us to resist while our party’s top brass does very little of it. I fear it sends a message to the less informed that things aren’t as dire and dangerous as they are.

I’ll only regret missing it if he has a stroke during his “speech.” God help that teleprompter.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Judith! I appreciate your "tiny posts," lol.

But really, there are no tiny posts, just tiny minds. Yours is neither.

Don't forget it's also MLK DAY! I think I'll watch MLK/FBI instead of paying any attention to the ABORTION they will be broadcasting from D.C.

I won't turn on the televison that day. Instead, I'll escape into a good book. His voice sickens me even more than his disgusting blob of a body and his mango spray tan face. Ugh. Thank you for doing what most of us can't stomach.

Expressed with eloquence I couldn't manage, as my rage overcomes my logic! But, I, also, will not be watching/listening to this inaugural farce. I'll be doing something positive for my emotional & mental health. And wearing black in mourning.

Wear black Monday as we mourn the impending death of our republic.

On the hopeful side, it's supposed to be really cold and windy. Maybe his toupee will blow off or certain parts of his vile anatomy will freeze and snap off. A girl can hope!

I was soooo disappointed when I heard he was moving it indoors. I might, MIGHT, have watched just to see him suffer. Not really! He's such a baby. JFK's inauguration was colder and he gave that historic speech outside without an overcoat.

1st and foremost, I think that it's appalling that our Representatives and Senators think it's okay to go against tradition by raising our flags to full mast because the crybaby wants them at full mast. Who cares. President Carter was more of a man and a President than the crybaby ever will be and He earned having the flags fly at half mast. We have NO plans of watching even the start of it here, that means that since I have found out that the TV show I normally have on to help me wake up, is airing it, I will NOT be playing it on Monday. I will have DEFY on and watch whatever happens to be on there or I might even put on Pandora, but it won't be on any channel that airs that farce.
