Carter the only former president to confirm he's attending Trump inauguration: report
By Paulina Firozi - 12/22/16 08:54 PM EST

Jimmy Carter is the only former president who has confirmed he will attend Donald Trump’s inauguration next month, according to a report.

George W. Bush’s spokesman told Politico that he would not decide whether he would attend Trump’s swearing-in until the New Year.

Meanwhile, his father, George H. W. Bush, has decided not to attend the inauguration, a spokesman told Politico, citing the 92-year-old former President's age.

Bush Sr is getting pretty old and frail at this point.

Well, let's see ... I really don't see Billy Bob attending as he's still consoling Hil on her loss and that leaves W. Bush and H. Bush; they obviously are still a bit disappointed that Trump trounced Jeb in the primaries.  Sr., I can excuse because of his age, but "W' should at least attend even if for a short while to show party solidarity.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

I didn't know former Prezes were required to attend this event. I can't recall ever noticing them there before.

What about the Obamas?  Or are they going to be too busy looting the White House?

Yes he is.  I believe he and Carter are about the same age.  But last  time I saw Carter, he was still somewhat ambulatory.  Bush Sr. Is in a wheelchair.    I wouldn't expect Bush Sr. to attend.

Which ones?  The ones who attend or the ones who don't?

I always thought of Carter as the biggest American embarrassment.  Wonder if Trump extended a special invitation?
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
