It's really disgusting how the Democrats have become so small and petty that it won't participate in a quintessentially American event like a Presidential inauguration just because the man who won the election is a Republican. I doubt that's the reason. Bands have played for Republicans before. It's that he's a classless, foul-mouthed, misogynistic, corrupt, and perhaps racist jerk. Basically, he's what decent folks aspire not to be. He's being shunned for his ideas and his actions, which are things he could change if he wanted. Compare that to the typical Republican, especially in the south, who likes to bully people for what they are. No, we're talking about Trump here, not Waco Billy Boy Clinton. Yes, bands have played for Pubs before, but we never had as virulent a stream of racism, anti Americanism, and Marxism coming from the Dems before. They are truly insane at this point, and refuse to even accept that Trump won. They are trying to do by force what they couldn't do at the ballot box.

LOL. A lot of band/music types are classless, foul mouthed, and misogynistic. Particularly the rapper types. Under your logic, they should be breaking down the door to perform. True. But Trump doesn't want rappers at his inauguration, I'd bet. And many of the people who have turned him down don't fit your definition, at least not publicly. Most of the people that "turned him down" weren't invited in the first place.

He's got Tony Orlando! I think the last time I heard him was before the CD! His team now says it was close to signing a "big rock group" that is in the hall of fame, but when they wanted over a million dollars to perform, he scratched that so more money would be available for charity. Classic manipulation: designed to make him look like a good guy and, since he didn't name a name, make all the people who turned him down look greedy (despite the fact that seven figure fees are pretty common for "hall of fame" quality acts privately booked). But more fundamentally, since he didn't name a name, the story has low credibility. It's a manipulation of the same sort that convinced people to put him in office, probably by the same people.

Should a big name music group even be performing at what amounts to a civic event? An understated inauguration probably is for the best, even if it's being forced on Trump rather than his wishes.

I guess that's the choice of the president-elect. It is, after all, his celebration. But as a matter of taste, understated is probably better than raucous.

He's got Tony Orlando! I think the last time I heard him was before the CD! Wow! That's evocative ... memories of vinyl, 45's and valve radios are flooding back ... ♪ ♬ Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree ... ♪ ♬ It near brings a tear to the eye.

Maybe he likes Orlando's music. Who knows. Of course, you have no problem with "acts" claiming they are refusing to perform, even though they were never asked. As for charity, how much has The Felon spent on charity out of her billions from her slush fund? How many pairs of used underwear has Waco Billy Boy "donated"?

Well, at least that was music, as opposed to the dischordant, irritating, non music so prevalent today. I don't think there are more than 3 or 4 "musicians" that are popular today that could carry a tune in a bucket with a lid on it

Maybe he likes Orlando's music. Who knows. Maybe. I had no problem with Orlando's music back when he was popular. I may even have one of his tunes - I have some 70s compilation discs. But he's kinda dated. Of course, Trump is 70. Of course, you have no problem with "acts" claiming they are refusing to perform, even though they were never asked. As for charity, how much has The Felon spent on charity out of her billions from her slush fund? How many pairs of used underwear has Waco Billy Boy "donated"? I've never said anything one way or the other about acts claiming they wouldn't perform when they weren't asked. Frankly, that sounds like something Breitbart would make up. You have a link to a group that refused to perform, and proof they weren't asked? The Clintons are irrelevant and have been since November. When are you planning to stop harping on them? Are we going to hear about them the whole 4-8 years of Trump? Will you let 'em off the hook after they pass?

According to Trump, who should know, none of those that are refusing were asked, except Bocelli and Jennifer, both of whom withdrew because of death threats from the 'enlightened', and 'tolerant' Left. As for the Clintons, they aren't irrelevant until the investigations of their crimes is done. If Trump really wants to have credibility, he has to prosecute if the investigation shows they should be. Sessions will be willing, and if we are to return to a law and order society, they have to be prosecuted. There is enough evidence in the public sphere to warrant a grand jury at the very least.

Yeah, lynch 'em... who's got a rope? Ah, so you are, ideologically, a Democrat. That's been the method of the Dems since about 1840, and still is today. I never said lynch her. She did, however, break a multitude of laws, evidently committed treason, and sold her office both as Senator and Sec State. Those sorts of crimes can't be ignored if we even want to claim to be a 'nation of laws, not of men'. The only reason the LR media and the Marxists aren't calling for her to be hung is because she's a Dem. Of course, since she lost, and created much angst and weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth among the lightloafered and anti American crowd, she might just be blamed for it all, and thrown under the bus.

Lynching was how the Dems kept blacks intimidated and subservient. They didn't even take it out of their party platform until 1947. As for the "old West", it's how we built our nation. We didn't have the Romans to come in and show us how to live, and give us technology, we invented our own.
