Kerry not attending inauguration, official says
2017-01-18
[MSN] Add Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, unsuccessful presidential candidate, and utterly failed Secretary of State...
 to list of those skipping the inauguration Friday.

A State Department official confirmed to Fox News that the outgoing chief diplomat "will not attend the inauguration."

The official did not give a reason.

At least 60 Democratic House politicians have already decided not to attend President-elect Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s inauguration on Friday. While Kerry’s reasons are unclear, the House Democrats skipping the ceremonies are doing so as a boycott of Trump.

#16  rjschwarz, Doubtful, since those Dems are grandstanding, they will lose face by accepting invitations.

#14  TW, I just tried your solution, I have been using the globe and chain icon which never worked for me. I tried removing the quotes and it still doesn't work. In the near future, I'll just past the link directly for now.

Sooner or later, I'll figure this our!

#11  It does indeed help, Seeking cure. Thank you.

[The icon Fred provides below the text box -- the little world sitting on two links or ski goggles -- occasionally doesn't work. When it doesn't, I take out the quotes around the URL, which has this far fixed the problem for reasons I won't try to guess; the inevitable heat death of the universe probably comes into play somehow. Are you first highlighting a bit of text to attach it to? Are you writing the HTML code yourself?]

#10  Seeking cure for ignorance, it would be interesting if Trump sent an invite out to a few to see if they'd reverse their boycott to see what whores they really are.

#9  Well it's partly an assumption, but mostly based on informed facts.

An example: href="http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/7661583/trump-we-have-the-biggest-celebrities-in-the-world-coming-to-inauguration"

Truth br told, members of congress are given tickets to attend, thus the comment by Trump that he hope those who are not coming will give him their tickets so he can invite others, so it's a tongue in cheek comment but they were just given tickets, not actually invited.

As for John Kerry, he's part of the previous administration, generally members from the previous administration do not attend the inauguration except those who may be part of the new administration (None AFAIK) or those who bought tickets themselves. The only person from the previous administration that will be there is Barrack Obama himself, It's doubtful his family will be there.

Hope this help. it's not all WAGs.

[BTW, I'm having trouble getting the inline http links to work properly.]

#6  John F Kerry is not attending because he wasn't invited

Is that an assumption, Seeking cure, or are you basing that on information? This is yet another area about which I am utterly ignorant.

#4  John F Kerry is not attending because he wasn't invited. Same thing with most of the democrats who are "boycotting" the inauguration, they weren't invited either. So they tried to put, to them, a positive spin on this non-invite.
