Soooo a lot of people didn't like trump's twitter attack against Congressman Lewis. It looks like the displeasure made it's way to tiny hands.
"Congressman John Lewis should finally focus on the burning and crime infested inner-cities of the U.S. I can use all the help I can get!"
I get the part about crime infested but burning? He really doesn't have a clue.

Trump's tweet about how John Lewis is "all talk talk talk and no action" (or however he worded it exactly) is just astounding. I mean, either Trump has no idea who John Lewis is -- which wouldn't surprise me since he clearly has never read much of anything, and has no interest in learning things -- or he's just so much of a narcissist that he can't see past what he perceives as an insult. To say that John Lewis doesn't DO anything... well...omg. I love how the Twitter-sphere has been tweeting photos to Trump, photos of Lewis walking arm in arm with Martin Luther King, photos of Lewis facing down police guns, photos of Lewis being arrested, being attacked by dogs, etc. No action...? omg

Here is a list of who is performing at the inauguration on Fri...
Jackie Evanco, 16-year-old runner up on “America’s Got Talent” in 2010 singing “The Star-Spangled Banner”, closing out the inauguration ceremony. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, who’ve performed at Presidential Inaugurations in the past, confirmed in December, however it’s causing some strife among its members with one reportedly quitting. The Radio City Music Hall Rockettes will perform, but the organization’s decided to make it voluntary, with some members not wanting to attend. The Missouri State University Chorale, also performing, they confirmed in October before knowing who’d be President. And Caitlyn Jenner’s accepted an invitation to attend the inauguration on January 20, according to US Weekly.

And many of Trump's most vocal supporters do not like Caitlyn Jenner. At all. I won't type the horrid things they say about her.

Don't forget Cowboy Troy!!! I also heard a knock off Bruce Springsteen cover band will be performing. I wonder how Bruce feels about that. I can't imagine he'll be happy with someone singing Born in the USA at the ball. And if you really listened to the words of that song, it's anything but pro American. Oh and Jennifer Holliday was going to perform but had so much negative feedback from her fans, especially LQBTQ community, she made a public apology and backed out. Good for her!

It is very rare for me to actually hate people; I find it is rarely worth the energy. However I am seriously starting to hate Donald Trump. As I saw someone say earlier, John Lewis walked with MLK while Trump was endorsed by the KKK. That pretty much sums it up for me.

Disgusting and infuriating. Donald Trump needs to keep Congressman Lewis' name out of his mouth. He couldn't even dream of being the kind of man John Lewis is. I didn't know who Mr. Lewis was until I heard his history this morning. Very impressive. Tremendously. If you want a really nice way to learn more about him, the three-book graphic novel co-written with John Lewis about his life, was released around the holidays as a set.

I read tiny hand's latest tweet and it threw me for a minute. Maybe he is confused, mixing up his inauguration with the women's march the next day. And maybe he hasn't seen the list of entertainers.
But in all seriousness I would be very surprised if the number of people showed up to tiny hand's inauguration as they did for President Obama's first. I would say that about any of the other candidates if they had won instead of tiny hands. And if tiny hands doesn't have the crowds President Obama had it's really going to get his ego.
"Inauguration Day is turning out to be even bigger than expected. January 20th, Washington D.C. Have fun!"

I'm a fan of the The Piano Guys and was so disappointed to hear that they're playing at the welcome celebration on Thursday. There are a lot of unhappy fan comments on their Facebook page.
I just read that Jennifer Holliday backed out of performing and has apologized to her fans - I'm surprised he hasn't tweeted something derogatory about her.

This is one of the funniest things I have ever ever seen. I've tried three times and I can't get it to post the video here, but this is the direct link to the video on Twitter. It's called Life Accordion to Trump and is seriously hilarious. FOUND THE YOU TUBE VIDEO!

Bummer about the piano guys. I play cello, so I've really liked their music. I won't be able to listen to it without throwing up a bit, so I guess they're off the playlist. Oh well, I always liked 2 cellos better anyway. Mo' cellos, mo' bettah,

I'm sick as a dog and was just lurking because I was too lazy to log in. However, I went through the very strenuous and time-consuming process of logging in just to Like this link. And quote it. And whine about being sick. Pretty sure this earns me a bowl of (medicinal, because it will soothe my throat) ice cream.

I'm taking a "stay tuned" position on this one. I think there will be a Tweet about it eventually, even if it's a post-inauguration, "We had a tremendous event with all the best people. We didn't need Jennifer Holliday," sort of Tweet.

I know the times he was here, the local news reported that the crowds weren't nearly as large as he was making them out to be in the taped footage of him talking that they showed. Or maybe they are just part of the fake news machine too.

Because they dissed him and that is more important than his other tasks at hand.

Here is an interesting article..yes it's Michael Moore but he does have 6 awesome points...
Here’s why Congressman and civil rights legend John Lewis is right that Trump “is not a legitimate President”:
1. Nothing, including an arcane, racist section of the constitution, can change the fact that 3 million more Americans voted for Hillary than for Trump. It’s either a democracy or it isn’t. If he had won by 3 million, I would sadly admit that Trump is the President the American people wanted. But that’s not what happened.
2. He is not well and needs help. He has a number of serious mental disorders that make him unfit to hold office — and they are on display every day in one cringe-worthy tweet after another. He is a full-blown malignant narcissist. He displays sociopathic tendencies. He will say one thing and 30 seconds later say the opposite. He is disconnected from the truth. And he has a stunning lack of human empathy. These behaviors make him a truly dangerous occupant of the Oval Office.
3. The Russians interfered with the election in order to get him elected. Even Trump now admits as much. That alone makes the election tainted and should be voided. We spend trillions on ridiculous weapons and ineffective police state-style homeland security measures to defend us against those who would “destroy our way of life” — but we are to remain silent when a foreign government is caught trying to get THEIR candidate elected as OUR president? AND they succeed! This is a joke of monstrous proportions — and the fact that conservatives, Republicans and patriotic good ol’ boys are actively defending this foreign aggression into our country confirms to me what I’ve feared all along: that they really hate our form of democracy, our Bill of Rights, our belief that “All men (sic) are created equal,” our one person-one vote system, that whoever scores the most points wins and that people of all religions are welcome here. They don’t believe that, and I’d respect them so much more if they would just simply admit it.
4. The FBI clearly chose sides, and FBI Director Comey’s interference in the 10 days before the election most-definitely helped tipped the balance to the FBI’s preferred candidate, Donald J. Trump. That our own federal police would so brazenly attempt to throw the election to the person with the least votes is mind-boggling, frightening and must be stopped. Attorney General Lynch must immediately, today, appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate what to me appears to be a criminal offense. If this is true, I want to see FBI Director Comey in handcuffs and behind bars. Short of murder and a few other heinous acts, is there a worse crime in our democracy than the highest ranking cop in the land attempting to throw the election?
5. Trump has nominated in Rex Tillerson the most powerful corporate CEO in the world as “our” Secretary of State. Why would the quarter-billionaire head of the world’s richest corporation want a “government job?” So that he, a personal friend of Putin’s, can get the US sanctions lifted off Russia so that his company, ExxonMobil, can get back to their exclusive oil deal with Russia — which will eventually net ExxonMobil three TRILLION dollars. This is nothing less than a bold, audacious robbery in broad daylight — and it says a lot about you and me that they think they can get away with it.
6. Trump has potentially committed a number of felonies — and a felon simply can’t sit in the Oval Office (I can’t believe I even have to state that). From his admitted sexual assaults to whatever he’s hiding in the tax returns, to possibly evading taxes, to his committing fraud with Trump U, to his long list of conflicts of interest — the chance of us having to suffer through his impeachment trial in the Senate is just too much to bear.
Donald Trump is, as John Lewis said, NOT a legitimate president. He is unfit, unstable and was elected with help from the Russian government. John Lewis has announced he will not attend the Inauguration, and eight other members of Congress today have joined him. Call (202-225-3121) or write your Congressperson and insist he or she not attend the swearing in of an illegitimate president. It’s the least you can do short of standing in front of this runaway train. — Michael Moore

He needs to understand that he doesn't control the companies. He thinks he has control.
Can you imagine if Obama or Bush told Trump he couldn't build hotels in other countries?

No idea if this is true or not but it's still amusing:
If it's true and people are being paid to fill seats then in Trump's own words: "Sad!" If not. then it's still witty to think this tweet up
