Give this some thought.
The situation won't get any better if people keep celebrating threats of violence.
If anyone wants to block me, get the name right -- mahatmakanejeeves.

As for an "investiture ceremony," I can't help but think of that scene in "Animal House" in which Kevin Bacon is undergoing his introductory initiation ritual.
Eeeek.
Thanks for writing.

Tomorrow we'll hear Trump whining about how the big bad violent Dems are forcing a cancellation of this walk (which I don't recall ever hearing about before either).

No seriously - they just can't abide all the protesters that would show up to heckle him. Resisting the right-wingers has become a national past time in Trump's America. It means we're spoiling their lawn parties, so hooray for the good guys!

Maybe the young woman they all "respected" so much would voluteer to come forward to shake his hand at the end, just as they used to shake hands with her in moments of greatest respect.
