There's actually a good bit of news in here.

One tidbit: Democrats expressed concern tonight that all members needed to go through a metal detector on Inauguration because they're worried a fellow member might try to assassinate Biden or Harris.

Do that and you might have a number of Republicans willing to throw themselves in the way of any line of fire to prevent a woman from being President.

Another VP would need to be selected and approved by Congress. Presidential succession only applies when all people above them die or are incapacitated.

when it comes to her potentially becoming President especially a strong and capable one like Kamala or like Hillary had the potential to be.

then the Whitehouse won’t be safe. Biden wouldn’t be safe anywhere. And if that’s true we might as well surrender to the terrorists because it means they won.

If Stenny and Nancy didn't have their phones in the Capitol, they wouldn't have been able to call the Governors of VA & MD to send their state national guard troops.

Dogs can very easily detect what the metal detectors can't. Also, sometimes dogs look more threatening than an officer with a gun and are a good back up to keep things from even starting.

Besides, dogs are Democrats too.

Officers can see more in the crowd. With horses most people tend to calm down because it is just the gift that animals have. The horses aren't showing their teeth and ready to attack on comand.

He claims to have been carrying a loaded gun at the Capitol while he was in the chambers

The group of GOP who would not wear masks Monday should not be at the Inauguration.
Madison Cawthorne should not be there because he had a gun on January 6 while in session.
That ditzy high school dropout should not be invited for revealing Pelosi's movements.
Any Senator or Congressperson who spoke at the Ellipse, not invited to Inauguration.

Their title (Rep/Sen) doesn't stop them from being insurrectionists.

and protected by the Secret Service and a justice that can provide the oath of office, just in case. Which brings up who is going to be the Senate President Pro Tempore under a democratic "majority"?

Lincoln or Jefferson Memorial? Top of the Washington Monument? VP residence?
