#2 Well, I looked in the dictionary for "'Sore Loser" and found a group photo of the DC establishment. Kerry was in the middle, why the long face Jawn?

#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.

#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.

#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.]

#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.

#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?]

#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!

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