I will be amused if more people turn up than for Trump's inaugaration.

Remember this story? Ignoring Trump’s Orders, Hoping He’ll Forget - Slow-walking or flat-out disobeying Trump’s fleeting obsessions has become common practice across various sectors of government.
Remember how Gary Cohn stole documents off Trump's desk to keep the US from leaving major trade deals? Remember how Don McGahn twice ignored direct orders to have Mueller fired?
The Trump administration is deeply dysfunctional, and it is important to remember that it's not just Trump, but also the low caliber people he's surrounded himself with.
Also, remember that the intelligence briefs Trump was getting was reduced to bullet points and pictures, because Trump couldn't maintain focus throughout detailed briefings with too much text. It's easy to omit important elements in those kinds of briefings.
Yeah, Trump is either incompetent at or just plain uninterested in his job.

I hate US-Roman Empire analogies. The Praetorians were an army unit. The Secret Service was, until 2003, a law enforcement branch of the Treasury Department. The USSS was created in 1865 to deal with rampant counterfeiting (about a third of all US currency in circulation was counterfeit at that time) and only began to provide protection to US presidents after McKinley was killed in 1901. The Secret Service has never attempted to impose a president on the nation, unlike the Praetorian Guard, which developed that into an art.

Sure, but I don't ever want to hear any Republicans derisively talk about a Democrat going golfing in the future. They've given up the moral standing to complain about such things, when they say nothing when Trump goes golfing as the death toll hit 250,000 people on his watch.

You have lofty expectations then.
I'm waiting for Biden to be criticized by them for going biking today at a DE state park near Rehoboth.

He likely won't--except by the right, probably.

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany claimed on Twitter that the crowd size was "more than one million marchers," but reporters on the scene estimated that there were "tens of thousands" of people at the rally.
