    Will you let your children watch the inauguration?

    Soldiers, protests, maybe a bomb or two.

    We used to play cowboys and Indians. Do kids pretend they are different factions of the Republican Party when they head out to play these days?

    Your Liz Cheney and I’ll be Ted Cruz. Count to 10

    I read there are more soldiers in Washington than Iraq/Afghanistan.

    It seems like this won’t be a joyous celebration of the transfer of power.

    Are democrats actually happy or Trump has screwed up so bad everyone is disappointed with America? Maybe in 4 years it will be a better time?

    You tell your kids it’s not a Trump or Biden thing. Pelosi, etc. etc.

    This civil unrest has been fomenting for years. Your kids weren’t even born in 2007. Won’t stop because of a new leader.

    It’s not really even just an American thing. But you don’t tell them that.


    I’ll start a new thread to explain about one million new unemployed and 20% unemployment lower wage earners. That has never played well in the course of human events.

    It’s easier for Americans to demonize some individual. Fail politicians are just the product of our culture.

    I agree with this. I recall during the push to spread democracy through the Middle East, my thought was why? A democracy is only as good as your populace. I remember arguing that on donkdown. First when bush was doing it, and I was just talking about the Arab spring in my thread where we were celebrating it. My thought at the time is they’ll just vote in a theocrat anyway? Here, there, anywhere, regardless of system, you’re only as stable or productive as your populace.

    You guys aren’t gonna like this.

    The only other member of this forum that I recall echoing my sentiment about the populace wielding pitchforks was MUMBLES. Around 2017. Coulda been before the election. Pitchforks was specifically used in a sentence.

    He’ll probably find it.

    Come forth and accept your prize.

    There will always be some demagogue who panders to those without. Hopefully the “withouts” are small in numbers.

    This time around it was Bannon funded by Mercer and all that shit. Trump was just a convenient pawn gone wrong. Penny for Bannon’s thoughts

    Some “Democrat” will have socialist ideas that are appealing next.

    It’s the way of the world.

    Do you think anything happens in DC come 1/20?

    I legit don’t. It feels naive, yet it feels like anyone wanting to cause issues will have to pass through 12 checkpoints.

    I’m less sure about elsewhere.


    Realistically, I think Trump walks away from the 6th if nothing further happens. I think the Senate impeachment and all that is simply held out as a threat. It never happens unless something else happens. Clearly extremists aren’t thinking people, but if you want Trump 2024, it’s much better if nothing occurs violent.

    I don’t think it matters whether there is violence or not. The damage is the sight of the National Guard and the narrative.

    Trump isn’t going away. Just read this board or look out your door. A switch isn’t going to be thrown Jan 20 and everyone sings Peter, Paul and Mary folk songs.

    The interesting thing is that he’s apparently cut off from the thing that made him. I have trouble with the particulars going forward.

    The Mercers gifted Parler. We will see.

    It really does circle around.

    I always argued the way to peace in the Middle East was to promote or subsidize industry. If a teenager has a job and some reason for optimism he is less likely to hold that grudge about our carpet bombing his family.

    Personally, I didn’t think it would be fair that Iraq should have a blue collar middle class work force and not the US.

    So now teenagers on both sides of the Atlantic want to bomb you.

    When the public learned of Nixon’s participation in Watergate they could not believe it. To that point the public generally trusted their leaders. Especially the President.

    I saw some documentary where a reporter went to bars in downtown Detroit or similar and the working guys refused to believe. Die hard Nixon supporters. Proud.

    Anyway, the public’s trust in government was permanently changed. Especially the youth. Voila, the boomers.

    The kids who witness this mess will also be affected. The whole culture will. There are cultural consequences.

    Bannon’s description of millennials is the most amazing thing to come out of this era. He’s not wrong.

    The Covid kids - that just ain’t gonna be good. Let them watch. I would pay money to hear Druff’s explanation to his son.

    So in other words you know you're full of shit.

    You're also a traitor, a cuck and an idiot.

    Won’t be watching. Never watch any of them. For the same reason I don’t watch award shows (Grammys, Tonys, etc). Boring television. Politician puts his hand on a Bible and swears to uphold an Oath he takes that he already has planned in detail the manner in which he will violate said Oath. Would rather watch paint dry.

    Very close. Apparently, I first mentioned “pitchforks” in February 2016, during the GOP primary.

    Absolutely not. Michelle Obama plans to come out transgender and Biden will be pardoning 25 sex offenders live. On top of it all bathrooms there will be unisex. This is the new America.

    It's more like make them watch it if they’re under 14. It's at least a new start and there will be a fly over by someone.

    Perry Como should be worth the watch.
