The Covid memorial was so moving. We’ve been missing a moment of national mourning. I think we will need another once we have vaccinated most of the population, but this was needed. I was a sobbing mess during it. It was like the grief I’ve been building for my fellow Americans finally was “allowed” to be released.
It was so beautifully done-thoughtful and understated and eloquent and devoid of politics, with the grief and the lives lost front and center. After being gaslighted and flat out lied to about the virus all year, it felt like a validation of what we've gone through this year.
A part of me would like to see Biden stay off of Twitter and FB for a period of time after inauguration. Maybe the first 100 days? And stick to the traditional routes of communication with the country. It would be a real jab at how not having Twitter and FB does not silence a president and maybe a reset/reminder for how we can get official news from the White House.
But then I’m sure Trump supporters would accuse him of doing things secretly.
Going down in history as the most pathetic, butthurt loser. Lol
Don’t go away mad, don’t go away sad. Just go away.
Maddow said he was making members of the military attend the send off in the morning. Since he is still president at that time he can require them to be there. Other than that they are having trouble getting people to go.
Per Maddox Trump is planning on giving a speech tomorrow at Andrew’s Air Force base. No one cares about you dude. Just leave. I bet he speaks for over an hour rambling conspiracy bullshit. Or announcing each pardon.
He’s also talking about starting his own political party- the Patriot Party. Knock yourself out

Also all the “just you wait” people remind me of cults that say “the end of the world is on X day!” But then what happens when it doesn’t come to pass... a few wake up but many dig deeper.
The former mayor of our very blue city is asking Trump for clemency. She is jail for fraud and tax evasion. How will Trump view her - as a fellow fraudster he should let off or aN enemy democrat from a "terrible" city?
If she ever tries to run again, I really hope this gets thrown in her face. He is very, very unpopular here.
"Stephen K. Bannon – President Trump granted a full pardon to Stephen Bannon. Prosecutors pursued Mr. Bannon with charges related to fraud stemming from his involvement in a political project. Mr. Bannon has been an important leader in the conservative movement and is known for his political acumen."
Could he conceivably flee the country instead of going to Florida?
Also, after 12:00 noon, if he’s on AF1 it’s no longer AF1. AF1 is the plane the POTUS is on, no matter which plane it is. Once Trump is no longer POTUS, it’s just a fancy plane with a cool paint job, one that’s property of the US government and flown by a pilot employed by the USAF. A military plane that can be recalled from anywhere it might be, even mid flight. If he’s trying to flee somewhere else, all that has to happen is for POTUS, SecDef, Commander USAF or Andrews AFB to recall the plane and the pilot will turn the plane around and land where it is ordered. Trump will have no say in its flight orders as of noon because he’s no longer POTUS/CiC.
I don’t understand why you think suburbia would have fewer dangerous people? Suburbia is majority white. White people have proven they are dangerous.
My OP was about a specific incident. I understand that white people are absolutely dangerous and especially in areas like mine. However, I didn’t think the targets would be here, which I admitted was naive. There was a specific thing that I mentioned that made me realize it.
rubytue, that Twitter post of the TikTok vid is something else. "And who the fuck is Q?"
I honestly don't know which is a scary prospect: a) people actually believing the shit the far right peddles, or b) far-right-wingers believing that Q et al are purposefully messing with them. Both are legit terrifying.

I wish
The town hasn’t yet decided if they’re going to let him reside at Mar A Lago full time. As a club, they have a three week per year limit on residency. They’ve broken this for him in the past. From what I’m seeing on the news, support for him residing there full time is pretty split. I’m guessing they’re going to settle on some longer-term residency limit for him that’s more than three weeks per year but less than full-time.
At least until the DOJ offers him full-time residence somewhere...
