Record Number Of Protests Planned Around Trump Inauguration
/
The National Park Service has credentialed a record 28 groups coming to Washington DC over inauguration weekend, compared to a typical five or six. Primarily representing groups opposed to the presidency of Donald Trump, the protests will be led by The Women's March, an expected protest of 200,000 women and their male allies.
The Washington Post reported on Friday that the city of DC has received requests for 200 bus parking permits for Inauguration Day. By contrast 1200 bus parking permits have been requested for The Women's March.
Republicans have struggled to fill their blocks of hotel rooms, writes Politico. The inauguration committee is hosting only three balls, a major departure from the usual eight to 10.

Dishing on Morning Joe: A Trump Crush Gone Bust But Will Joe's Musical Rain Money?
These days I try to watch 'Morning Joe' as little as possible. So I missed host Joe Scarborough's criticism of president-elect Donald Trump for his tweets against Meryl Streep's Golden Globe speech. Actually Scarborough delivered a strong message to Trump as Inauguration Day approaches: "Stop Tweeting!"
"Stop tweeting about Meryl Streep," the Republican former Congressman continued. "Stop putting words into the mouths of intel agencies. I'm serious, someone around him needs to tell him, give it a rest. Start preparing for your inauguration. Stop being so thin-skinned."
In the words of Vice President Joe Biden, who weighed in on Trump a few days ago pre-Street meldown "Grow up."
Scarborough's Trump tone contrasted with his and Mika's battle with fellow journalists last week.
