The conspiracy theorist in me tells me that they want to get out of town to avoid something....and by that I don’t mean the inauguration.

This is an act of sedition to the legitimate authority and transition of power

American voters are also sick and tired of republicans who continuously act as enablers for the democrat party. Republican politicans who don't attend the inaugeration or who continue to repeatedly stab Trump in the back are an affront to the Republican Party and to republican voters.

I consider these Idiots Living off the Taxpayers, To have resigned their offices.
Meaning they will have to run for office if they want to serve again.
No Paychecks ,no benefits, Nothing...

There is no necessity that the event even be televised. George Washington’s wasn’t . .

In fact it would be kinda cool if Mr. Trump took the oath of office, thanked the justice who administered the oath and the people who had entrusted their safety to him - and said it was time to get to work, and walked into the White House.

When these same legislators come hat in hand to ask Trump to go along with their socialist schemes, I do hope he tells them not to let the door hit them in their back sides on the way out of the WH, to get out & stay out. For if he is illegitimate now, they have no reason to come to him seeking consensus later.

As a Congressman, don’e expect to get a lot done without the President’s consent.

The irony is, the President has the authority to appoint replacements until new ones are voted in.

Uh...didn't know that little diddy right there. So if they decide to sit things out when Congress actually sits to meet in order to stall a quorum, Trump can give them a deadline and then fill their seats with others? Wow. Now that I would love to see happen.

These clowns, as they themselves will sorrowfully see, have sunk themselves when the mid-terms roll around in 2018.
