    I'm still deciding. First I planned to be there protesting, then I said "Maybe I'll get my nails done instead," and now I think I might want to watch just out of civic responsibility. I feel like I should hear what he says firsthand instead of having it filtered. I do like the ratings boycott idea, though. That's a very good reason to not watch.

    That's similar to my perspective, what dreams. Kind of like jury duty.

    Your comments after the bolded part, I think the former outweighs the latter...seems more important to me.
    Does it matter what he says? Seriously. 10 minutes later he never said it and to show video makes you biased. or better yet , its fake news.

    What you want to watch is what Pence is doing. While everyone is concerned with the baby in chief, Pence is putting the agenda together.
    Don't you worry. I'm watching Pence and the entire Congress carefully. I'm starting a local "indivisible" group. Look it up. Indivisible.org. can't post links from my phone but posted it in Trump thread, to which nobody commented.

    Better question would be - have you ever watched one? Isn't it at noon? Don't you people have jobs? Oh, that's why you've watched the Democratic ones before....Seeing if they're giving anything away on that day.

    It's not a civic responsibility to watch the inauguration. Also, there will be a complete transcript of what he says. Yes, I agree that the ratings boycott is a good reason not to watch! ;) Reminder: If you watch it later online it won't be counted in the ratings.

    As I said, unless it's 50degrees and sunny, no way am I attending the inauguration. I'll probably catch glimpses of it from whichever viewing party I'm at, hopefully the Loews party isn't lame, otherwise I'll be forced to find another. I don't really want to be outdoors in the rain and amongst the fray. Seems like everytime I'm in DC which isn't often, it reigns. You can't imagine all the booklets pamphlets emails I received regarding the festivities whereabouts do's dont's etc. Truly unbelievable, whatever happened to the paperwork reduction act! Anyway wherever I land, I'm hoping that our "hospitality" is taken care of.

    We're hoping the DC Trump train later on, anyone ever ride Amtrak first class? I'm not sure what the difference is between fc and coach, free drinks?

    I'm thinking my weekend drinks of choice will be Bells Two Hearted Ale in honor of my fallen comrad Seth Rich and Black Russians. I prefer White Russians with organic milk, but cant bring myself to request organic milk, you know that old saying about choosy beggars.

    I haven't been to DC as a "tourist" in years, any sightseeing recommendations out there? I have a bag full of passes to choose from.

    I try my best!
    What's not funny was trying on my Tux, I haven't worn it in at least 3 years, wow! Scary. I've somehow developed Barry Bonds-head. It's like my skull continues to grow, certainly not proportionate to or because of the brains inside.
    I ended up renting a tux, looks like shit but don't all rental tuxs?

    If your near the Loews pop in look for me, White Russians on the donors, look for anyone that most resembles a team mascot.

    Anyway glad to hear your party affiliation hasn't yet impaired your sense of humor.

    I'd rather watch a marathon of Twilight, bad M Night and Transformers movies without Rifftrax commentary than watch it. I may skip work for a protest rally nearby at the colleges whether I grew up in Claremont,CA. It's worth losing $50 on the next paycheck to fight for this country.

    I'll make up for it with tax return money anyways.

    I actually like M Night movies - even the bad ones. :giggle:

    Yes
    All the posters in this thread that say no should watch it.
    That way you will hear it straight from the mouth of President Trump not regurgitated later with the spin of the press.
    All the no people will wait to read their favourite news source that comforts them after the event.
    All the no people should also watch it to spare other AMT posters the pain of posting you the information of what he said later.
    At the very least watch is before it makes headlines.
