Thousands of national guard troops say no, everyone’s pretty on edge. Definitely concerning - reports the FBI is re-vetting all the guardsmen to avoid an “inside man” attack.Am I the only one slightly concerned for Biden's welfare tomorrow?
I don't like it.....Thousands of national guard troops say no, everyone’s pretty on edge. Definitely concerning - reports the FBI is re-vetting all the guardsmen to avoid an “inside man” attack.
All good..."Thoughts and Prayers" will keep him safePence might have a bigger target on him though.
Yeah it's not great. Facing either an attempted attack or (more likely) some pretty severe fragmentation as thousands of MAGAs and Qanons realise beyond all doubt that Trump is no longer President and nothing is going to change that and that "trust the plan" isn't working.I don't like it.....
Nope. In a preferred Republican 2024 candidate just taken, Pence was still miles ahead at around 50%. Thankfully Cruz was 6% and Hawley 1%.Pence might have a bigger target on him though.
I like the "how did you guys get down there?" - "Use the stairs".The bit where they debate whether Ted Cruz is on their side, and then decide that "he would want us to do this" is absolute, unadulterated magic.
I think the New York tax investigations are first cab off the rank - but probably not before the Senate votes to either convict or not for his role in the insurrection.So how long after Trump leaves office before he or his Organization is charged? Will they give it some grace or just go hard straight away? And whats top of the list?
Tax fraud? Obstruction of Justice? Inciting a riot? Being too orange? Raping a 13yo girl?
Oh, forgot the hush money payments
Yeah maybe.. although the amount of dirty laundry that's now getting aired by disgruntled Republicans pissed they've lost the Senate and shocked by the Capitol riot might kill those chances. Also no way Trump is going to consider a coalition unless he's in charge.Coalition...
As has been said by many, we got lucky with Trump - the next authoritarian may well be competent...Yeah maybe.. although the amount of dirty laundry that's now getting aired by disgruntled Republicans pissed they've lost the Senate and shocked by the Capitol riot might kill those chances.

Still reckon the biggest danger in 2024 isn't Trump but some other conservative populist with a large following, like one of the Fox commentators or Joe Rogan hijacking the primaries...
I don’t think so. Trump had populist red neck appeal that a regular authoritarian wouldn’t be able to muster.As has been said by many, we got lucky with Trump - the next authoritarian may well be competent...
They had ignorance as their common factor.Trump had populist red neck appeal that a regular authoritarian wouldn’t be able to muster.
Chalk it up to a failed experiment.
There's still the inauguration to come..A little part of me is dissapointed this has all transpired so uneventfully.
