Arriving in Florida a few hours before Biden's inauguration. It was one of the most childish acts in American history, neatly forgotten by the American press.

i give up. why "angst" that a human has better things to do than sit out in the cold and listen to a childish bully talk about wind mills?

Michelle Obama go to his inauguration since he insulted her so often as well as her husband. All the crap he threw at Obama when he was in office about his birth certificate.

and certainly not her time or respect.

MAGA attacks and disrespects Michelle Obama 24/7/365. MAGA can't stand the fact that Michelle Obama is more popular and respected than any of the creeps they allign with.

But MAGA has to actually govern now. I sincerely doubt they are capable and I look forward to them turning on each other. They live for hate and anger. It's all they are about.
