I’ll bet the going indoors decision had much more to do with fear of a tiny crowd than worry about the weather.

Absolutely. The crowd optics would not have been to his his liking. We don't need another Sean Spicer, crowd size fiasco.

That was my thought too, it just hit me that's why he'd be okay with it, it makes sense.

I find it ridiculous that they want to ban TT because of a security risk and the next administration is much more worrisome.

I think that is simply an excuse. They're all jealous because TikTok is more successful than all of them. Why is the CEO of TikTok joining the parade of oligarchs at the inauguration? It's all so shameful. Knee bending abound.

I want to know why Governor Newsom would agree to raise the flags to full staff for Trump's inauguration.

I want to know too. The idea that Newsom would have to "bend the knee" for aid is disgusting. All of this quid pro quo is complete BS. The orange man has no heart, no empathy, and is an empty, soulless miscreant.

I think because he’s bending the knee for aid we really need the money here in California

I definitely agree the money is desperately needed, but I didn't think Newsom would concede on this issue I guess.

Part of me knows that's true. The other part of me feels like giving in to a narcissist is exactly what we should not be doing. But, thankfully I'm not in his shoes. Just worried and hoping for the best.

Had the same thought? Maybe he’s giving a little hoping for some compromise? Still pretty disappointing…

Cause he needs the federal money from Trump for the fires. T could cut Newsome off at the knees for being a naughty boy. Newsome cares about people. He wants CA to be treated fairly.

Same. If he changed his mind it means he got paid. And I will not be on tiktok if they paid him to stay. Everything is for sale with him. Hopefully no one offers enough for the nuke codes.

I agree. I'm hoping he doesn't get the position. It could truly destroy Americans health.

I wouldn't waste a penny on a ticket to his inauguration. He and the rest aren't worth the mud on my shoes.

I like what you’re doing here. But I’d like it so much better if I could read it instead of hearing you read it to me. A news digest that would take about 10 to 15 minutes to read is something I’d pay for.

They’re moving it inside so people don’t see the small crowd size. 😂
