    And the saddest comment was from an elementary student in a school with a high percentage of immigrants and people of color: "It's been this way my whole life."

    I hope the transfer of power to Biden is done in a secret location with film posted to the internet. It can be done anywhere. Lynden Johnson's oath of office was in an airplane on the runway in Dallas.

    Exactly Wren! Biden should be sworn in remotely! No set venue, no announcement as to where it will be.... Because there are too many Trump supporters who are just itching to overturn this government! And all because Trump asked for this. I remember when Johnson was sworn in! Doesn't have to be a big celebration.... Just give us our new President!

    Wouldn't it be great if that was really sent by the FBI?

    Seth Abramson has done an in-depth reading of Trump's speech to his people on Wednesday...It's fascinating! Below is a segment where he talks about Turnip & Pickle--I mean Trump and Pence......I haven't heard Trump's 75 minute speech (ugh...) but Seth sure listened....

    Fake Viking guy has been using an alias. He turned himself in, but interesting that he's been photographed with Rudy before and a Russian guy at the insurrection. 🧐

    I gotta say, that crowd sourcing to identify Zip Tie Guy was insane. I caught up with it on a completely other forum, and then here I check in on BCO this morning and its been solved!

    I do wonder who got to Trump to finally get him to shut up and see sense (short of the Twitter being taken away) and at least give that statement conceding.

    I thought Trump's 'concession' looked like a hostage video. So very insincere, trying to save his butt from impeachment.

    I think it was the WH counsel who got him to make the video, but I doubt he's shut up. We just can't hear him! 🤣 For those who say Twitter is violating his 1A, WRONG! The president-in-name-only has a press room, and Twitter is a private enterprise.

    How about a throwback to when the White House was filled with goodness?

    You know, I sit here reading these things and it is so amazing and in the very worst way. Then again, our dread of the orange one began long before he and Putin made sure to steal the 2016 election. I too have great hope that Biden will swear in on a camera somewhere in a VERY safe place and we can see it on the news or Internet later.

    I'm also amazed at the amount of what I think may seem ( at any other time perhaps ) like nearly normal people are anything but. Reading Serenity and Trill's pieces just sends a chill down my spine. I just would like to know who is really nuts and do they need to be medicated and deprogrammed. It just astounds me.

    Obviously many of these people are being found -- they made it pretty easy, but I think they possibly did much of what they did for some bragging rights and also with the idea that the end result would be more to Trump's liking. They have never gotten it !! Trump can't protect as many of them as there are and for the most part -- he doesn't care for them anymore then he cares about anyone he uses.

    I read that it was Ivanka who got Daddy to make the video.

    This from Reuters:


    “Senior advisers Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, along with speechwriter Stephen Miller, counsel Pat Cipollone, chief of staff Mark Meadows and press secretary Kayleigh McEnany all pressed Trump to clearly state that he did not support the violence, the sources said.

    National security adviser Robert O'Brien was also among the senior aides who communicated to Trump the need to strongly condemn the Capital Hill violence before the president issued the video on Thursday, a source familiar with matter said”.

    I hope and even pray to God that we do not have a blood bath on Inauguration Day. Yes, I find myself praying about it.

    The insane part is, I’m not even being dramatic. It is a real possibility. Who saw the movie “The Dead Zone” with Martin Sheen and Christopher Walken? One of my very favorite films, but I well remember before the 2016 election thinking Trump was like Martin Sheen’s character. If you didn’t see it, I won’t spoil it for you, but there are chilling similarities between the real president and movie one running for president. And wasn’t the only person who thought that. There were others on the internet saying the same thing.

    Once all the information is gathered about this, I hope we will find out just what took place. I saw this meme and it was like the rally terrorists just knew exactly where to go. Just chance that no one ( Reps. and Sens. ) were actually in their path.

    Opinion: Punish Everyone Involved In Trump's Seditious Conspiracy Against The U.S.

    The real force driving the seditious conspiracy was every Republican echoing Trump's filthy lie that President-elect Joe Biden's victory was rife with fraud and corruption.

    The reason social media can lawfully ban anyone they want? THE 1ST AMDMT. FORBIDS ONLY GOV'TS. FROM INTERFERING WITH SPEECH! Social media are PRIVATE enterprises and therefore not constrained by the 1st Amdmt. BUT it prohibits a gov't. from intefering with the free speech of private entities & individuals...unless that speech is intended to cause commission of a crime.

    What I want to know is when the hell will Warnock & Ossoff be sworn in? They both won by margins twice as big as would rule out a recount. Both Loeffler & Perdue have conceded. GA is dragging its feet on certifying their elections (believe it or not, the deadline isn't even till 1/22, AFTER Biden's inauguration but could be done far sooner--is Raffensperger afraid of the MAGA mob)? It's outrageous that Moscow Mitch remains Maj. Leader. If a Mitch-led Senate sans Warner & Ossoff reconvenes 1/19, the trial could likely be rushed through without witnesses or even argument. I bet that's another reason why Raffensperger is dawdling--to prevent Trump from even the possibility of being convicted.

    It is not true that an impeached Pres. loses his pension & lifelong Secret Svce. protection after leaving office. Were that true, since he's already been impeached once, he'd lose those benefits as of noon 1/20. But Bill Clinton was impeached--and still has both those lifetime benefits. No, an impeached and convicted Pres. (even if convicted after leaving office) not only loses those benefits but is forever barred from holding public office--elected or appointed.

    And yes, even though he'd already be out of office and conviction wouldn't remove him, a President impeached before his term runs out CAN be convicted after he leaves office--because the "indictment" was handed down while he was still POTUS.

    True that an ex-VP, even one never impeached, loses Secret Svce. protection once out of office. So you'd think that--facing multiple death threats from MAGA morons who think he's betrayed them--he'd be eager to invoke the 25th Amdmt. and become an ex-Pres. at noon on 1/20, entitled to such lifetime protection. But here's why he's willing to take that gamble by not "taking the 25th:" HE DOESN'T WANT THE GIG. He's terrified of and confused by what he's supposed to do should he be sworn in. And why those Cabinet resignations? They don't want to go on record as trying to eject Trump--because they fear for their lives. They wouldn't be eligible for Secret Svce. protection anyway, but they don't want to leave the WH with targets on their backs.

    Republican Who Stormed Capitol Resigns from W.V. House

    Posted: 09 Jan 2021 04:33 PM PST

    Derrick Evans, facing federal charges for entering the U.S. Capitol with a mob, has resigned from West Virginia's House of Delegates. "I hereby resign as a member of the House of Delegates, effective immediately," Evans said in a one-page letter submitted to Gov. Jim Justice and the House. The House released another statement from Evans expressing regret. "I take full responsibility for my actions, and deeply regret any hurt, pain or embarrassment I may have caused my family, friends, constituents and fellow West Virginians," Evans stated. "I hope this action I take today can remove any cloud of distraction from the state Legislature, so my colleagues can get to work in earnest building a brighter future for our state. And more importantly, I hope it helps to begin the healing process, so we can all move forward and come together as One Nation, Under God.'"


    imageLike the many others -- if you think you are going to be successful in an endeavor apparently you can just partake of this endeavor rather fully. Un-fortunately, this did not go nearly as well as all ( the above named non-gentleman ) the rioter/terrorists planned. Little late to be getting down on your knees now yo-yo. I'm glad he is taking some responsibility, but frankly this healing process he is talking about gets to me as well He hopes we can all move forward and come together. One Nation, Under God. First off, you sold your soul to help a man who is deranged and does nothing but lie and foment trouble which he has been doing for yrs.


    Even worse and no matter which side they were on, there are five individuals who will be moving on to their graves. I'm sure that wasn't on your mind either when you chose to b a part of Trump's MAGA army. When you chose to fight the GOOD fight and take back your country from all of the people who chose to have Biden rather than Trump.


    You look on things as something being taken from you when it is a normal process which is in place to care for you and everyone else. Elections are never ( that is usually ) for just one side. They tend ( unless you elect a businessman who happens to be a lunatic ) to do something for everyone. A lot of times it is not enough, or in some cases, it favors a group that likely doesn't even need it, but it is not a one-sided thing. Nothing was stolen from you -- rather we chose someone we knew could do a much better job and not turn us into a dictatorship. If you really want to live that way -- there are several places on the globe that have dictators. Rather than disrupt what is working here -- pick out one of those. I'm sure since you want that, you and they could get along fine.


    It is a little too late to offer such a nice mea culpa -- otherwise, go get your mugshot and we will all hope you may have learned something valuable. I will forgive but I'll never forget -- and it will actually take a bit more than your oops I got caught speech to help me get to that forgiveness -- which I will do for my own peace, and not necessarily yours.
