Biden Inauguration Rehearsal Postponed Due to Security Concerns
National Review ^ | January 17, 2021 10:02 AM | EAD MCARDLE

A rehearsal for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration scheduled for Sunday has been postponed due to security concerns in the nation’s capital, according to reports.

The rehearsal will be held Monday instead, Politico reported.

Security has been boosted across Washington, D.C. since the deadly riot earlier this month at the Capitol. The Capitol complex has been locked down, and more than 20,000 National Guard troops are expected to be deployed ahead of the inauguration on Wednesday. More than a dozen D.C. Metro stations will be closed to the public in the days leading up to and following January 20.

The FBI has warned that armed protesters could demonstrate in both Washington, D.C. and state capitals around the country. The agency has observed “extensive” talk online suggesting the possibility of violence around Biden’s inauguration, FBI director Christopher Wray said.

“We’re concerned about the potential for violence at multiple protests and rallies planned here in D.C. and at state capital buildings around the country in the days to come that could bring armed individuals within close proximity to government buildings and officials,” Wray said last week.

Biden’s team has also canceled an Amtrak trip Monday from Wilmington to Washington due to security concerns in the capital.

“In the week since the attack on Congress by a mob that included domestic terrorists and violent extremists, the nation has continued to learn more about the threat to our democracy and about the potential for additional violence in the coming days, both in the National Capital Region and in cities across the country. This is a challenge that the President-elect and his team take incredibly seriously,” the Biden transition team said in a statement.

In other words, he could not read what was on the teleprompter.

I cant remember the whole affair, but I do remember they had to redo it because some legal eagle made/or asked, if he was actually sworn in legally.

That was 12 years ago. I fully expect Biden to screw it up.

And like you say. Roberts is a lying backstabbing sack of sh#t.

BTW, I think Trumps legal team screwed the whole election thing up. They should have also gone after those states for violation of the constitution by the Cabals in those states rigging the election by going around state legislatures.

Of course one state (Texas) tried and they said that suit had no standing.

This whole debacle can be set at the feet of the supreme court.

During all the rehearsals so far, the guy role playing Chief Justice Roberts says “I, Joe Biden” and Joe replies “No you’re not! I AM Joe Biden!”

It’s a huge stumbling block and they don’t know how to solve it.

Has the US ever done Internment Camps for a threatening group before?

Would never happen here, right?

Traitor Roberts turns out to be an anti-Constitutional, rule of man legal beagle.

Lame it is that he chose poorly to not address
Constitution election issues as the election commenced.

My daughter’s magnet school in Baltimore is holding “Inauguration Watch” sessions for all grades.

Postponed because he can’t handle it, he’s too feeble.

He’s probably in the hospital or something. I saw clips from Saturday, he’s not long for this world.

Take the mask off and have Susan Rice get up there, no point in pretending.

What are these drama queen lefties so afraid is going to happen? You know why the Virginia office of the FBI let slip their intelligence from Jan 3 and Trump’s offer of NG from the same date? Because those sellout liars at the weaponized top ignored it, downplayed it, and were probably blaming that office for Jan 6. Whatever this nonsense from the Obamaite FBI about attacks on all the state capitals and DC, oh *rolleyes* it would all be false flags, their own agents provocateurs. The 200 drunk sponges hypnotized by CNN are the only ones who believe in this current fake production.
