His Will Be the Greatest Inauguration Spectacle

And by greatest, I mean lamest.
Donald Trump's inauguration festivities are nearly upon us, and the final lineup of performers—which includes Toby Keith, 3 Doors Down, and something called a "Sam Moore (of the duo Sam & Dave)"—reads like the saddest, weirdest Governors Ball lineup imaginable.

And don't forget Tony from Orlando.
With all the trouble that the Presidential Inaugural Committee has had booking acts and selling tickets, you would think that scoring a name like, say, Kanye West would be a pretty major get. And as luck would have it, Kanye, for reasons known only to Kanye, has expressed support for the president-elect in the past, even undertaking his own expedition to the top of Trump Tower last month.


Perhaps Kanye's reason for supporting Trump is that he's a publicity hound and Trump is the only president who would meet his own lame ass. But I digress.
Inauguration Committee Chair Tom Barrack Jr. : We haven't asked him. I mean, he's been great. He considers himself a friend of the president-elect, but it's not the venue. The venue we have for entertainment is filled out, it's perfect. It's going to be typically and traditionally American. Kanye's a great guy, we just haven't asked him to perform, and we move on with our agenda.
Kanye isn't American? That's news to me.

Trump's inauguration committee chair is named Barrack?
It's almost as if the man about to become President of the United States, who has spent decades trafficking in racist dog whistles and repulsive stereotypes, has decided on the eve of his presidential inauguration that he and his people won't even try to hide it anymore.
Oh, I think that bar has already been reached and passed.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
