And how will this date be remembered? So many devastating possibilities aligning... The President demanding the VP to defy the Constitution so he can stay in power. Many Republican members of Congress rallying around this otherwise lame duck President, who would be otherwise be leaving office in two weeks, to impede the succession of power. Trump supporters rallying around the Capitol, some expected to be armed. Trump giving a speech in the morning and possibly joining his supporters. The leader of the Proud Boys arrested on weapons charges in DC and told to "stay away." A threat over the air controller frequency said a plane was going to be flown into the Capitol tomorrow, likely while the Congress is assembled to read the votes from the electoral college. This to avenge the killing of Iranian General Soleimani exactly a year ago. Kenosha Wisconsin likely to see rioting after no charges were brought against a police officer in a shooting last August. And there is always the Georgia Senate elections today, with results possibly not being known until tomorrow. Only the control of the Senate and a continuation of a checks and balance within Congress at stake. Any powder kegs I left out? Oh, maybe a stack of pardons to round out the afternoon?
Please refrain from m#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g up this thread and let's lock it for prosperity so we can see which of these possible timebombs come to fruition... In other words. please start your own thread.

“Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms.” – James Madison.
