I wish people would stop with the scary scenarios.
Another thread suggested that the 2700 NG members could point their rifles at the protestors. WTF?
The crowd is going to be made up almost entirely of women and children. Mothers, grandmothers, probably some great-grandmas. Unless some "outside agitators" show up on the fringes, there is not going to be "a state of emergency." It is going to be peaceful.

Here is a poll to DU (oh, just do it for fun!)

Four confirmation hearings are now delayed:

The delays represent a stumble for the incoming Trump administration, which has vowed to run government with a businesslike efficiency, and highlights how in several respects its preparation to take office is behind that of predecessors.

Have you heard about the new site, "Crooked Media"?
Looks promising! https://getcrookedmedia.com
On Monday, the three are launching “Crooked Media,” a political website that makes no bones about its opposition to the incoming president, and is designed as “ a place to talk about politics that informs, entertains, and inspires action.” Targeting Americans dismayed by Trump’s election, the former spokespeople and speechwriters are aiming to go around traditional media to reach young Democratic supporters.

I would like to know this, too.
I have been wracking my brains, trying to think of a good progressive in a safe seat, or in his or her final term, who could have shown some courage.
From now on when I see one of these feckless senators getting on a (twitter or FB) soapbox, my reply will be, "You could have stood against trump on Jan. 6 and you did not."
I do understand that according to the process, it would not have produced a different final result, but the required debate could have been informative for future historians. And it would have shown that senator to be a true patriot and person of principle.
