Extraordinary security measures are being taken in Washington, D.C., and across the country ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on Wednesday.

With the potential threat of more violence this weekend, businesses in D.C. are boarding up, the National Mall is shut down and the Pentagon has authorized 25,000 troops for the inauguration.

A stepped up security presence is also assembling at state capitols nationwide. The FBI has warned of possible armed protests at all 50 state capitols.

The Department of Homeland Security issued a new intelligence briefing that domestic extremists pose the highest threat to Biden's inauguration, a U.S. official confirmed to CBS News on Friday. Some extremists are motivated by the belief that Mr. Biden would be an illegitimate president, according to the bulletin.

It also mentions foreign adversaries amplifying disinformation in the run up to the January 20 inauguration and after the Capitol riots.

"Foreign adversaries" should be "adversary" in the singular.

They won't come flat out and say Russia.

I hope Putin and friends pay dearly for this.

1. Sanctions, sanctions, sanctions and more sanctions nt

3. Roll up their networks in the U S.

Especially the ones funding the militia whackjobs.

Investigate and prosecute all politicians at every level with extremist ties, and if connections to Russia are exposed, prosecute them.


Slap them with cyber attacks till they beg for mercy. (Trump decimated our cybersecurity apparatus.(

That might be a start.



It has to be so devastating that they lose any idea of ever doing it again.

4. Trump eviscerated

Our cybersecurity, counter espionage ability, basically tore down all our defenses against Russian malfeasance.

All of which can be rebuilt.

However-

If I personally am getting my ass kicked in a fight and am in a bad defensive position (back against wall, caught sitting down in a chair or booth, poor footing on gravel, etc.) I need to get one very solid, extremely hard blow or kick in to stop the attack long enough to give me time to change my defensive situation.

I'm guessing that applies on a bigger scale.
