The Establishment converted Washington, DC, into a fortress guarded by troops strewn about on cold marble floors because that looked more compelling than showing them in cots and sleeping bags on sleeping mats that every one of them was issued. This is supposed to send a message of strength and resolution in response to a small riot that would barely have made the papers last summer but is now three of the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse because it happened at the Establishment’s house instead of at Sen. Josh Hawley’s house, or your house. When it was your business on fire, it was a mostly peaceful protest, and you needed to get over it. When it happened to the people who let last summer fester, well, then it was an insurrection/coup/sedition for totally real.

Hence, they summoned more soldiers to Washington to make sure a ceremony that nobody but the elite cares about goes off A-OK. Just think of what those soldiers could do stopping the bloodshed in Chicago, where the average Friday night sees exponentially more carnage than what those goofs – who seem to include some leftists – committed on Capitol Hill.

Most important paragraph in the post.

I abhor any pomp and ceremony. I especially hate it when geared towards Marxist scum. Suffice it to say I won’t be viewing

I'm hoping for a nice celebration of sorts at the Southern Bridge (or what passes for the Southern Bridge these days) as the President of the United States arrives at his home.

President Asterisk? How fitting, (and pardon my French) considering how much said asterisk looks like an asshole!

Wasn’t there a movie ‘Heidi Goes Hawaiian’?

Think I’ll try to watch it. Or the Time Channel. g

[Seaplaner]

I will unfortunately miss the inauguration, as I’m committed to go skiing, play golf, do yardwork, or watch some old-but-great movies. (With the latest forecast info, I’m lucky enough to have options.)

[Rummyfan]

Hey, you guys have fun at the festival of Establishment onanism that will be the purported inauguration of that desiccated old weirdo, President Asterisk.

Establishment onanism.... exactly.
