I am raising to 8

 I am raising to 9


I’m at 10 since Biden became the nominee. I might go up to 11 if this pessimistic behavior continues on this board...


All right now I'm at 7.25.

What happened?

What happened?

A failed half-assed attempt at insurrection.

I'm concerned about a full-assed effort that ends up with more deaths and possible delays in seating the new President.

 Just put the National Guard there with some real weaponry

 New York sent 1000 members of the National Guard to D.C. to remain until after the inauguration and New Jersey sent 500.

 Still gonna be 10. Don’t let the demons get you down.

They haven't decided if the Guard soldiers will be armed, according to what I read this morning.


The new President takes office on January 20th no matter what. He can be sworn in anywhere. No hoopla is required.

I believe that when Warren Harding died Calvin Coolidge was sworn in by his father at his father's home. I will check.

Here we go:

In front of a small group of observers, including Coolidge's wife Grace and United States Representative Porter H. Dale, his father, John Calvin Coolidge Sr., a Vermont notary public and justice of the peace,[4] administered the oath of office. The swearing in took place in John Coolidge's family parlor by the light of a kerosene lamp at 2:47 a.m. on August 3, 1923; President Coolidge then went back to bed.

Well, Rudy said it will be combat, and Trump said it will be wild, and the mob said it will be civil war, so let's arm our Guard members as if they were going into war.

Look, if any foreign head of state had sent a mob to storm the Capitol like this, we'd be dropping bombs right now.

 I think the outdoor inauguration should be cancelled.

Swear in Biden in the Capitol rotunda.  Members of Congress with leadership roles, Biden's cabinet nominees, Capitol police officers along the walls around everyone.

Donald Trump leaves White House by helicopter before dawn, so no cheering crowds for him.


Starting to creep up to an 8.5


I don't know, I'm still on the fence.


I'm gonna go out on a limb and give it a 10.

Call me crazy....


I gave it a 10 when a new security matrix completed download at 12:00:43 on my system.
