Again, I look to 8 years ago, and how I would have felt if anti-Obama electeds had, en masse, boycotted. I would not have approved!

Anti-Obama electeds DID boycot his inaugurations. Someone linked to that article on fb earlier today.

My 'let's go along to get along' is all worn out. I'm happy to see who boycotts in the vein of 'okay then', we see you.

While I totally, and completely get the issue of 'respect for the office' over respect for the man, I believe we are in a singular situation now where the habits and protocols of the past could actually prove dangerous.

I sympathize with his general air of "No, this is fine, everything's fine, clearly I am succeeding and doing exactly what I meant to do."

"This is a TOTALLY comfortable position, I assure you."

Damn, Maru. You are a beacon of awesome in an otherwise shitstorm of a world.

Thanks, beekaytee. Insent.

The only thing better than a Maru video, is a Maru & Hana video.

This one is a thing of beauty: Swing and Maru

OMG MARU

I was going to clean my basement today. That is...not happening.

Well, now I'm torn on what to watch instead of the inauguration: a rerun of Pres. Obama's second inauguration, or Flash Gordon, which is on another channel. Dang.

Andi, insent...and good luck!

Do we have any wordpress gurus in the house?

I need to change my seven year old [myname].com template.

I love the current site, but I need so many changes I just don't think the old template can accommodate.

I found this one that I quite like.

Do you, or do you know someone who can, work with this kind of thing?

All I need is 1) an assessment of whether or not the theme is good and stable code, 2) a tutorial on how to back up the current site for safety and 3) the background set-up the new template.

I can do the migration of text with my minimal html skills, assuming the template permits that. I really want to be able to control future changes, including the graphics in the slider, etc.

My long-term web guy is nice, and quite reasonable, but not super responsive since I'm not a 'big fish.'

The 'reasonable' part is key too. My income has dipped precipitously and the image refresh is part of taking advantage of a GOOD thing coming up in a couple of weeks. I can, and will, pay what is needed but it will be a stretch.

All suggestions gratefully received!

If you are not available, or interested, do you have any trusted referrals I could explore?

I feel the opposite. I would not have approved had Democrats done this when Bush was elected as that was a legitimate win by an actual politician (one I massively disagreed with, but...). Trump is dangerous and he needs to be treated as the illegitimate POTUS that he is. To act as though any of this is normal is not acceptable in my eyes.

I'm with you. This should not be normalized. There's too much at stake and too much that's just WTF levels of shady and wrong.

We're not in a case of politics as usual. We're in a case of motherfuckers, show us some spine and some strength and resist, because there ain't no reasoning with the incoming shitshow.
