Went and booked a hotel in DC for Trump’s inauguration 😱😬🥶🥶🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Had a moment of brilliance & booked the next to the last room at all of $120 a night
It’s actually on a joint Army/Marine base that butts up to Arlington National Cemetery (and had a walk in gate, need to check on that)
Researching public transportation in DC now, I’m not sure I’m capable of all the walking required to attend Trumps inauguration but if nothing more it’s a excuse in mental masturbation 🤣🤣🤣

I agree with your wife. Attending that event will require a LOT of walking and standing unless you get seated in the VIP area.

There is nothing that would tempt me to ever step foot in that ultimate den of iniquity! Good luck brother!

There are a couple different metro stations in that area. As I recall, Rosslyn and Arlington Cemetery. I think the Arlington stop is closest then on to the Pennsylvania Ave stop. Might be a mile of walking on each end. But it is DC, you can get an uber to drop you door to door and there is a good chance the driver will be military working a side hustle. I am pretty sure I walked it a couple of times going to the hobby shop at Henderson Hall. Don't even know if that is still there, just remember walking through part of the cemetery to get to it.

we are really debating going, guess it boils down to my wanting to be a grain of rice in the bucket showing Trump some love and support
it’s a patriotic thing I’d really love to see the ceremony in person, experience the electricity
it’s stupid, but also emotional for some reason

I’ve reached out to a couple guys to see if it’s even possible to get up close in a VIP section
Will see what they say

From what I understand after 9/11 the gate between the cemetery & post was closed & now it’s only open certain times & for funerals & its 100% ID check both ways when open
im lucky to walk 600 feet anymore no way could I walk a mile
