Remember how funny it was that the biggest band they could book for the inauguration was a Bruce Springsteen cover band? It just got even funnier. They're not going to do it. Bruce Springsteen Cover Band Drops Out of Trump Inauguration Party
Maybe Russia will send over some entertainers. Too bad this guy is no longer with us, it would be the perfect Trump theme song, as it contains about as much actual coherence as one of Trump's insane word salad tantrums, performed on a set of cheap, empty facades.
Sadly, Eduard Khil a/k/a Mr. Trololo passed away in 2012. But this other musical legend is still with us, and I suspect he'd perform if asked:
Ahhhhh, Mr. Trololo. Some news show had a clip of him on a couple of weeks ago. I had seen the clip many times and just smiled, but my husband sat there with his jaw on the floor. "What is this," he asked. "Some Soviet-era variety show?" "THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS!!" I replied while LMAO, seeing his disbelieving face. And he said - I kid you not - "He should play Trump's inauguration."
I went for a run on the Mall today, and regardless of one's political views or musical preferences, the one certainty about the inauguration has got to be the abundance of port-a-potties. Arranged in pods of 6-10, they run on both sides of the Mall for the better part of a mile; I would guess that there are over 1,200 of them. It's looking like we'll have rain on Friday, but at least there will be plenty of places for people to do their business while they wait
Interesting choice of words, Vlad. Clearly I'm a-gonna need some more popcorn. Vladimir Putin of Russia says Obama admin trying to undermine Donald Trump and "fake news" spreaders "worse than prostitutes" - CBS News
After Thursday, I'm pretty much done with politics and regular news in general. Sure I won't be able to avoid somethings, but I'm going to stick to weather, sports and movie news.
My hope is that the press in general will stop being distracted by the shiny tweets and instead zero in on the things that really matter. And it would be nice if more journalists start holding him accountable for what he says, even if it isn't what's "in his heart."
Trump has found someone else to sing at the inauguration. Tiffany Trump to Sing "I'm Like a Bird" at Pres. Donald Trump's Inauguration
Here you go ... the latest on the Inaugural entertainment. Tony Orlando and Sam Moore, I am VERY disappointed. (Actually Tony is performing at the Salute to Our Armed Services Ball, so he gets a pass. Tony Orlando to Perform at Trump Inaugural Ball Sam ... notsomuch. Singer Sam Moore added to Trump's inaugural event )
Once again, the narcissism comes through. It's well known that Obama has a large hand in writing his important speeches (though he's secure enough to credit his team of speechwriters and, you know, acknowledge their existence). So Trump has to pretend that he's writing his inaugural speech. And he has to stage a photo. He just staged it at a desk that he would obviously not use to write anything (it's in a public hallway), using a writing instrument that one would obviously not use but must have been handy at the time. By the way, those folders at his press conference which he said were "just some of the many documents I’ve signed turning over complete and total control to my sons" - but were instantly tagged as fakes filled with blank paper by anyone with common sense and a set of eyeballs (in other words, he flat-out lied... again...) - are now being called a "visual aid" by his mouthpieces after a week of insisting they were totally real.
