Day 1, Part 2
By Mitch Berg
The last time I watched a Presidential inauguration live on TV was when Jimmy Carter was inaugurated. I was in junior high, and they wheeled a TV into our history classroom.
I missed Reagan’s (twice), Bush I, Clinton (twice), Dubya (twice), Trump’s first, and Obama (all three times).
I may break my streak today. Partly to see history. Partly because I’ve become an accidental, skeptical Trump supporter. Partly because, let’s be honest, I suspect some lefty is going to try something stupid.
And I don’t mean just this guy:
Speaking of danger: remember when George W Bush took office? And the departing Clinton staffers, in a fit of juvenility, pried the “W” keys off of all the computer keyboards in the west wing?
Biden’s pardons, and some of his other efforts to stymie Trump from the great political beyond, are like that – only actually damaging, as opposed to juvenile and spiteful.
So much so that even the elder statesman of “Never-Trump” is sounding off:
Side note: “Incandescently stupid” is going into my quick-reference lexicon.

I still remember listening to some of Obama’s first Inauguration while I was working. I turned it off during the invocation. The minister started listing off the different races by color, and then he kept going with colors that aren’t real. At that point I just concentrated on work.

Did I miss Day 1, Part 1?

Well. Now that Jonah has, hands on hips, harrumphed very loudly, he can get back to pointlessly hating on Trump.

Jonah is like the single woman explaining to her girlfriend why each of the men interested in her are unsuitable.
If only he was taller
If only he was funnier
If only he dressed better
And so its just her and Mister Whiskers living in the apartment.

Hey, my take is that Goldberg gets it right, and in doing so, he speaks to how seriously the Democrats actually take the Constitution and the limitation of the Republic. Trouble is we’re trashing our system of justice in doing so.
