Summary
Former Presidents Obama, Clinton, and Bush, along with Hillary Clinton, will not attend Trump’s inaugural lunch. Bush did not receive an invitation.
However, all three former presidents and their spouses, except Michelle Obama, will attend Trump’s swearing-in ceremony.
The inaugural lunch, a tradition since 1897, typically includes speeches and toasts for the new administration.
None of the living former presidents endorsed Trump’s candidacy, with Obama and Clinton actively campaigning for his opponents.
Trump didn’t attend Biden’s inauguration, why should Biden feel he has to attend Trump’s? (I know this is about the lunch, but still). Obama and the Clintons should take a pass too. They think they have to go to somehow prove something like they’re not petty or that the country isn’t really falling apart or whatever, but all they’re proving is that they’re A-OK with the rise of fascism in the US. God I wish they’d show some spine just this once.
Liberals have always chosen fascism over any kind of leftism. They would rather a Nazi than a socialist
I guess Obama saw people’s reaction to him joking around with him like old pals during Carter’s funeral.
It’s a big club and you aren’t in it
Did you expect Obama (of all people) to be unkind at another man’s (let alone a former president’s) funeral?
wish, not expect. what i expected him to do was order another drone strike on brown children. you know for old times’ sake
Order a drone strike at or during a former president’s funeral? I’m not following what you’re talking about. Are we on the same topic?
No.
That’ll show him!
I hope they survive, such bravery
Sarcasm?
The ruling class will face no harm, they’re all in the same club. They might tut tut and waggle their fingers but then they’ll retire to their gated communities.
Maybe more facetious than sarcastic implying they may perish skipping a lunch, but I don’t think /f is a common shorthand yet like /s
Our base is devastated to learn that we see the people stripping them of rights and money as good friends and colleagues, what do we do?
Release a story where two of the past Democrat Presidents won’t attend a celebratory lunch with the guy who we’re handing unimaginable power to!
That’ll show him!
I do wonder if there’s something up with Michelle Obama. The inaugural stuff is one thing, but I find it odd that she skipped Jimmy Carter’s inauguration.
I bet she simply didn’t want to be anywhere near trump at Carter’s funeral. Same here.
Trump could think this is a tragedy which calls for flying flags at half-staff
Half-mast*
/s
The fight against fascism begins.
Not with guns, or knives, or even pens, but with neglected big macs drying out on a chafing dish.
Oh no not the Inaugural Lunch!
dEcOrUm
What more endorsement does he need than the one gotten from the elections results?
i will also not be attending his inaugural lunch. i bet that will show him
Idk sounds like woke socialism to me
There’s no such thing as a free inaugural lunch.
Definitely attending the part that matters though. Gotta show solidarity among the ruling class! ✊
I’m sure they can go to McDonald’s on their own
Neither is Henry Kissinger, first time he’s ever missed one
He lived entirely too long.
Or maybe they don’t like hamberders. My first thought.
I’m sure they’re grown-ups and can get their own McDonald’s.
I still think about how cold all that is whenever I see this photo
Some of the best athletes in the US … being fed cold
McDonald’sWendy’sWhoa whoa, that looks like Wendy’s… Let’s not fuck around here man. Can’t pass that up
I can’t stand Wendy’s. It’s consistently bad every time I’ve eaten it.
Go to a different Wendy’s
I have, in many states. The fries are always old and too salty even fresh they’re still not great. Burgers are meh at best and the chicken nuggets are only good directly out of the fryer. Their spicy chicken sandwich is alright I guess but overall it’s just not good. I put it up there with Sonic.
What does “too” salty mean? Is that even possible?
fries are…too salty
That’s the best part lol
Sonic is 100% worse than Wendy’s.
Whoa whoa whoa. I’ll eat Sonic over Wendy’s any day.
Brekky burrito and tots? Sign me the-fuck up.Sonic has the greasiest subpar sandwiches out there.
They own the drink game though.
