Redstone isn't a completely crazy option, though. It is where some of the earliest space/rocket programs were done, and still has the sprocket center (with a dated science center, that still hosted summer "Space Camp" not too long ago) heck, they have a Saturn 5 on display there...
It is an area that still has a large aerospace tech presence, too.
The cost of living there is also a lot more reasonable than in CO Springs, with schools that are just as good. Also, while AL is a red state, Huntsville itself is quite progressive. I’d definitely consider living there.
ETA: While CO itself has gone blue, CO Springs is a VERY red area. I’ve only visited Huntsville a few times and never lived there, but it strikes me as a more progressive city than CO Springs.

Are y'all reading the article or just reacting to what I posted?

“President Donald Trump may hire a law professor who spoke at his rally before the riot at the U.S. Capitol to help defend him in an impeachment trial over a charge that he incited the violence, according to two people familiar with the matter.“
This dude just "retired" because people were calling for his resignation/to be fired.
An official said the assault on the video is separate from the ongoing investigation into the death of Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick, who was reportedly struck in the head with a fire extinguisher during the riot.

I was reacting based on what you wrote (and other things I have heard elsewhere). Just read the article, and nothing in it changes my opinion. Redstone is a reasonable fit for the mission.

Lady Gaga will sing the National Anthem at the inauguration. Jennifer Lopez will also sing, and Tom Hanks is going to host a special TV program where Bon Jovi, Demi Lovato, Justin Timberlake and Ant Clemons will perform.

Another Congressman, Adriano Espaillat, has covid-19. No word yet if he was in the safe room last week but he got his second vaccine dose last week, and it takes 10-14 days for that dose to do its magic. How frustrating. And he was there yesterday during the proceedings, I watched him speak.

That's kind of awesome!!! I will have to record it to show the kids later (which I was planning to do anyway). Does Kamala get sworn in as VP at the same ceremony? I really want to watch that and show my kids as well. They should replay it in PrimeTime. Bonus points since it will piss of T***p too!
Here's a non-paywalled version of the story. OMG I HATE THEM ALL SO FUCKING MUCH!!! I rescind my previous comment about considering a pardon. I want them all to rot in jail.

Can you share any details? I don't subscribe to the WaPo and would love to know more. lol
Kushners wouldn't let secret service to use any of their bathrooms. So they had to rent a space for 3K a month so security could use a nearby bathroom. At one point, they used Obama's garage, but Secret Service trashed it, so they had to move. At one point there was a porta potty on the sidewalk, but the neighborhood complained.
"The Obamas did not use the garage, so the extra traffic to and from the command post caused no problem. Yet this solution, too, was short-lived after a Secret Service supervisor from the Trump/Kushner detail left an unpleasant mess in the Obama bathroom at some point before the fall of 2017, according to a person briefed on the event. That prompted the leaders of the Obama detail to ban the agents up the street from ever returning.
The agents assigned to the president’s daughter and son-in-law began driving a mile to Pence’s home at the Naval Observatory, where they were allowed to use a bathroom in a stand-alone guard station. If they didn’t have time for that excursion, the law enforcement officials said, they relied on the hospitality of nearby restaurants."
I am disgusted, but not surprised, by Ivanka and Jared's refusal to let the SS use their bathrooms. I and J are foul human beings.
I AM surprised and horrified to think grown men employed by the SS wouldn't have the decency to be respectful of the Obama bathroom offered for their use. Talk about pigs.

Not really your point....but the SS has female agents too, and women can be equally nasty. Still, it’s awful that they made such a mess that they were banned from using that restroom again.
Marjorie Taylor Greene plans to file impeachment charges against Biden shortly after he is inaugurated.
"I would like to announce on behalf of the American people, we have to make sure that our leaders are held accountable. We cannot have a president of the United States that is willing to abuse the power of the office of the presidency and be easily bought off by foreign governments, foreign Chinese energy companies, Ukrainian energy companies," Greene said while appearing on Newsmax's Greg Kelly Reports. "So on January 21, I will be filing articles of impeachment on Joe Biden."

Excellent point.
That was sexist of me, but I promise you it stemmed from my assumption that men were guilty of trashing the bathroom, not that women can't be SS agents. lol Still problematic, and I won't make that mistake again!
The D.C. Attorney General's office has notified Donald Trump Jr. that it wishes to interview him as part of a lawsuit alleging that Trump's 2017 inaugural committee improperly funneled money to the president's business.

I love the parallel in the story. Obamas generously make a space for SS to decompress and use the restroom. Kushners no doubt have a large space and settled on a porta potty outside.
