Do we need to move the inauguration to a territory with less risk of insurrectionist traitors swamping it?


I think Biden being inaugurated privately his home or somewhere secure, would be best.

Unless he says "I concede", any call against violence is meaningless. He repeats his election fraud claims which shows he doesn't mean the words he says after.

He said that people should go home and have peace.

Not as often as he told them that the election was stolen from them and that he won in a landslide.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Ands, you shouldn’t be. This is just expected from him. He’s been doing this since he became president. It’s no surprise. Don’t waste your energy. His statement is in par with the course.

Partially because they get to hide behind the shield of alliances.

Also because they don't even meet their Nato commitments.

Great example of a fine democracy that upholds international agreements.
