I hope there is no Competing Concert for the Ignorgural

and this is from someone who will have NO PROBLEM cussing those motherfuckers out for the treason they endorsed. Yep. I said treason. Nope. I'm not even sorry. Yes, I will note your concern.

Quite, silent. Ignore their show. Don't compete with it. That gives it the "us or them", "this or that" binary stink they want.

Ignore that.

I hope that counter-Inaugural concert in Miami comes to pass and is a success. I have no love for the Donald and little but scorn for the fools who voted for him, but I think a counter-inaugural concert in Miami laden with the A-list talent that Trump and Pence weren't able to attract to their festivities is a pointed reminder of the feelings of most Americans towards Vladimir Putin's leading patsy. It may lack the potential for confrontation and violence that some on the extreme left (as well as Fox, Breitbart, and other propaganda purveyors) might savor, but it takes away attention from the Donald's show.

I just think, also, that if this concert doesn't happen, it will look like they failed again, and further detract from the truth of the matter regarding this election.

no harm in diverting attention from the donald.

As long as the diverting is done far from where donald wants everyone to look and it's made clear that it's separate from his crowning.
