On another note, Biden ripped the word "Unity" right out of the GOP's arsenal today. The ball is now in their court in that regard (not that it hasn't been lingering there for four years).

I agree with everything except the thinly veiled part. And?

Oh just you wait for the "that's all CGI, Biden is actually arrested; the appearance of them being in control is just to keep the rabid left under control; Trump is still dictating things, you will see through great legislation, etc..."

I'd almost bet a dollar that tripe will be Q'ing up in the future.

I think we should run with this theory, flesh it out some:

Due to the traitorousness of the republicans, and the effect of the tribunals on democratic leadership, it was determined that the democrats would, under the control of Trump, become the Harlem Globetrotters of politics, and the GOP would become the Washington Generals, losing each election to the “liberals” who would then do wildly liberal (bleep) to hide the fact that Trump was directing it all. The public, unaware of the ruse, would revel in their healthcare and education and retirement benefits. Antifa would be neutralized and would beat up Proud Boys in carefully choreographed “fights” to keep the socialists fooled. Reparations for black people and open borders will complete the illusion.

Yeah, if you watch a speech about unity and think it’s attacking you as a white supremacist liar, you’re probably a white supremacist liar.

If I have it right there were 29 candidates running for president this election. I think the country picked the best man for the job at this particular juncture. I feel safe.

I have a feeling getting back on track isn't going to be as difficult as many believe. It won't be easy, just not as difficult as perceived.

I don't think there are as many Lindsey Graham's as many think. My gut feeling is some Republicans saw the damage done by Trump and will work with Biden to begin repairs. At least in the beginning. JMHO.

Dena Grayson, MD, PhD @DrDenaGrayson

@NSAGov’s General Counsel Michael Ellis—a last-minute appointment by Trump—placed on administrative leave due to allegations that he “mishandled classified information.”

Intelligence officials had feared that he would declassify sensitive #TrumpRussia information.


The one Pelosi sent the letter on, saying don't appoint him. Looks like Nancy knew what was up. Former aide to Devin Nunes.

Quote:
Catherine Herridge @CBS_Herridge
NEW: A source familiar with events tells @CBSNews
that recently appointed NSA General Counsel Michael Ellis was placed on administrative leave today because his appointment is now the subject of a DoD IG investigation + there is a separate, newly leveled allegation that Ellis mishandled classified information.

Reading all the executive orders passed today with the primetime inauguration in the background.

Interestingly, Pat was once in a band called "45 Grave". Apropos name. Their song "It's Party Time!" was in the 85 zombie flick and personal fave "The Return Of The Living Dead (Pt 1)" which featured punkers and punk music.

He sounds very derivative of Georg Ruthenberg.

I'd love to see a comprehensive QFTOS of Trump followers/QAnon believers just so we can enjoy some schadenfreude at their expense.

Another article I found on the Qmoron people’s reactions


https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/some-qanon-followers-struggle-inauguration-day-n1255002

Easy to laugh at these idiots. But the last part of the article is definitely concerning. Hopefully the Biden Administration can weed out these white supremicist terrorists.

Quote:
In the days after the Capitol riots, white supremacist groups expressly targeted "Parler refugees," or Trump fans who they believed could be radicalized after the conservative social media platform Parler was at least temporarily shut down and QAnon was banned from Twitter and Facebook.

"Focus less on trying to red pill [or recruit] them on WW2 and more on how to make them angrier about the election and the new Democrat regime," read a white supremacist recruitment message on Telegram. "Heighten their burning hatred of injustice."

I just finished watching the ceremony. Beautiful speech by the President. Perfectly worded, perfectly delivered...best I've ever seen him. We have a President again!

also...fist bump, fist bump, careful hug, fist bump, then in comes Garth "angel of death" Brooks handing out handshakes and breathy, full-chest hugs to senior citizens like it's a barbecue in 2019.

Hmm. Not sure whether this is a good thing or not.

Sure he didn’t help with the insurrection and all, but does that really mean he’s the best guy for that job? I’m positive Biden can find someone better right? Sorry if I don’t trust anyone Trump has touched. It’s like thinking Amy Coney Barrett is a good justice because she didn’t vote to overturn the election.
