BE ALERT! Sunday, January 17th

The thought just occurred to me. Take a guess who the Secret Service might be thinking are the most likely threats now. My guess is -- and it's only a guess -- Republican lawmakers. As far I know, they'll be there, in the audience, just like they are every inauguration. If they actually are thought to be the major threat, it's almost humorous.
Nah, the major threat to the country is being inaugurated.:smirk:

That is also my suspicion. The amateurishness of the invasion last week makes me suspect a lot of these people are barely more than internet fantasists. But fantasists with GUNS, of course, because Amuurrica. So perhaps we are not entirely out of the woods yet. All it takes is one Lee Harvey Oswald....... with a Supremacist Beard.....

This guy is from the south and has the beard but does NOT fit the MAGA mold. Very sensible and centrist.

My only risk is that the possum might raid the
feral cats' food at nite. But they've never
threatened democracy.....they're very quiet.
A possum showed up in Brooklyn while I lived in NYC. I know coz it was a minor news item,,
as they called 911

A mountain lion ate someone's dog on the edge of
Manitou a few weeks ago. You ain't gonna believe
this, but I'm more impressed with a possum showing
up in Brooklyn.

That's quite a story. Only, I've never heard anyone
say possums were notable for preying on rats. I
wonder where they heard that? Or maybe they are,
and I've just never heard it.

I saw a wolf on a leash near the center of this city once.
It was heart wrenching in a way I would have never
expected it to be.

And actually mysterious. He was on a thirty or so foot
leash, and he came around the corner well before the
couple holding the other end did. I took one glance and
knew he was wild. I haven't much experience at all with
wolves, but if they're all like him, you can't miss it.

What got me -- it really affected me Audie -- was he looked/behaved
like the most lost thing I've ever seen, human, wolf, or anything.

People mistreat animals so horribly.

Especially in China

As another thread claims the disinformaiton with Trump off of Twitter and Facebook, Parler shut down, and Twitter clamping down on violators of their TSO's it appears that much of the communication of the extreme radicals has been disrupted. Even if they wanted to repeat January 7th it does not look as if they could pull it off. One thing that has not been commented on very much here is that there was an organized effort on January 7th. People came prepared with tools to break into the Capitol, handcuffs, and other materials that a person going to a demonstration would not need or use.
