Remember all the outrage over McConnell's statement it was the Republicans job to make sure Obama was a one term President?
ZitatA California congresswoman announced today that she would be "preparing the resistance" instead of attending President-elect Trump's inauguration.
Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) announced her boycott in a statement: "I will not be celebrating or honoring an incoming president who rode racism, sexism, xenophobia and bigotry to the White House."
“Donald Trump ran one of the most divisive and prejudiced campaigns in modern history," Lee continued. "He began his campaign by insulting Mexican immigrants, pledging to build a wall between the United States and Mexico and then spent a year and a half denigrating communities of color and normalizing bigotry. He called women ‘pigs’, stoked Islamophobia, and attacked a Gold Star family. He mocked a disabled reporter and appealed to people’s worst instincts. I cannot in good conscience attend an inauguration that would celebrate this divisive approach to governance."

Lee isn't the only Dem boycotting that day. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) said on the House floor Tuesday he's going to skip the inaugural because "I cannot bring myself to justify morally or intellectually the immense power we are placing in that man’s hands."
"I could not look at my wife, my daughters or my grandson in the eye if I sat there and attended as if everything that candidate Donald Trump had said about 'the women,' about 'the Latinos,' or 'the blacks,' the Muslims' or any of the other things he said in his speeches and tweets – that any of that is OK or erased from my memory," Gutierrez said. "We all heard the tape when Donald Trump was bragging – bragging! – about grabbing women by their private parts without their consent. It is something I can never un-hear."
Gutierrez plans on participating in the Women's March on Washington, along with his wife, the day after Trump's swearing-in.
Rep. Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) said she'll be skipping the festivities because going would "normalize" Trump's promotion of "bigoted, misogynist, anti-Semitic, and racist claims."
Lee, Gutierrez, and Clark ought to lead by making use of the handouts from The Center for Biological Diversity
Environmentalists Hand Out Condoms to Protest Feared Trump-Era Overpopulation Environmentalists Hand Out Condoms to Protest Feared Trump-Era Overpopulation By Bridget Johnson January 2, 201By Bridget Johnson January 2, 2017
An environmental group handed out 10,000 free "endangered species condoms" at New Year's Eve events and on college campuses nationwide to mark 2017 in a show of protest against President-elect Trump.
The Center for Biological Diversity said the condom giveaway was meant to highlight overpopulation amid fears of Trump policies on contraception along with fears of what could happen to protected wildlife species under his administration.
Quote: Cincinnatus wrote in post #3Sometimes the dramatic gestures of the anti-PEOTUS Trump organizations are just downright funny. This is one of those times.
Btw, does the distribution of the condoms indicate they are expecting their supporters will have sexual relations with the protected wildlife species?

bigoted, misogynist, anti-Semitic, and racist = in other words, republican
The absolute most bogus claim of that laundry list is: anti-Semitic.
They don't even listen to their own rhetoric anymore. Ivanka is married to a Jew, raising her children Jewish and they say Donald is anti-Semetic?
'Stupid is as stupid does' applies quite well to this one.
