Once Trump leaves the Presidency on January 20th, he has no immunity.

This goes beyond Party-----Trump is a guy who WANTS to transcend party. He can be a very dangerous man if powerful people happen to listen to him.

But I believe that January 6th will go without a hitch.

In their heart of hearts, most people want to maintain the relative democracy of this country. They don't want a guy like Trump trying to screw with it.

Dominion Voting Systems plans to sue attorney Sidney Powell "imminently" for defamation, and it's continuing to explore similar suits against President Trump and others, company founder and CEO John Poulos told the Axios Re:Cap podcast on Monday.

They've been promising "wild protests" for a while.

We have to keep a watch on them----but I do believe they will huff and puff, and not be able to blow down the house.

There will be a lot of sulking over the next four years.

on Wednesday, the members of the Hawley-Cruz cohort will violate the oath of office in which they swore to defend the Constitution from enemies “foreign and domestic.” They are its most dangerous domestic enemies.

So, nothing really changed as a result of the election then, based on the last 4 years...

Members of the D.C. National Guard will respond when supporters of President Donald Trump protest the 2020 election results in downtown D.C. this week.

The D.C. National Guard will assist the Metropolitan Police Department with crowd management and traffic control, MPD’s acting chief, Robert Contee, said at a news conference Monday morning. The department is expecting a crowd larger than at two pro-Trump events in D.C. last year.

“Some of our intelligence certainly suggests there will be increased crowd sizes,” said Contee, adding, "There are people intent on coming to our city armed.”

A U.S. defense official said the D.C. National Guard members will not be armed or wearing body armor.

Anyone who carries a gun at a protest or within 1,000 feet of a protest will be arrested, in line with D.C. law, the acting police chief said. Police posted signs this weekend in Freedom Plaza, where protests are expected, warning about the law.

We will not allow people to incite violence, intimidate our residents or cause destruction in our city,” she said.

Officials will evaluate whether a curfew will be needed, Bowser said.

Police will increase their presence around churches after demonstrators previously destroyed Black Lives Matter signs outside.

In a message Sunday, the mayor asked people to stay away from the demonstrations and downtown area"

Federal law bars guns from being carried on U.S. Capitol grounds and in National Park Service areas such as Freedom Plaza, the Ellipse and the National Mall, Bowser’s office said Sunday. It’s illegal to open carry firearms in D.C., and D.C. does not have reciprocity with other states’ concealed pistol licenses.

The president said on Twitter on Sunday that he plans to attend the demonstration.

Supporters of President Donald Trump gathered for a wave of demonstrations in Washington, D.C., Tuesday, the day before Congress meets to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the Electoral College.

Crowds of people, many carrying Trump flags, gathered a block from the White House on Freedom Plaza early Tuesday afternoon to kick off an event that could draw thousands, organizers say.

A group called the Eighty Percent Coalition has promoted a rally on Freedom Plaza starting at 5 p.m. featuring speakers including Republican political operative Roger Stone and conservative radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

Several hundred supporters also planned to march from the National Mall to the U.S. Capitol.

Road closures and parking restrictions were put into effect early Tuesday and the clamp-down on traffic downtown will continue through Thursday.

Businesses boarded up, preparing for what officials warned could be a violent few days of protests like there have been in the past.

The House Sergeant at Arms warned Members of Congress to arrive early Wednesday and use underground tunnels to travel a few blocks between office buildings and the Capitol, instead of walking or driving. Such precautions are not common during protests, News4’s Scott MacFarlane reports.

The leader of the far-right Proud Boys group has been released after his arrest on suspicion of burning a Black Lives Matter flag last month.

Enrique Tarrio faces destruction of property charges. On Tuesday, a judge ordered him to stay out of Washington.

He has reportedly admitted torching a banner taken from a black church during a rally in December in the city.

On Tuesday, a judge released him on his own recognisance pending his trial.

The 36-year-old was also found during his arrest to be in unlawful possession of two devices that allow guns to hold additional bullets, a source told CBS News.
