It's incredibly strange, and sad, that this is our first real non-peaceful transition of power.
It really sucks.

I think a biden *cough* Harris *cough* whitehouse would be a nightmare, but I think a military coup would be even worse, how do you stop that trend once it starts...

In a national television interview, acting DC National Guard Chief, Major General W. Walker was discussing the guardsman's general preparedness for tomorrows activities in the capital. The interview is quite short but when asked if he had the resources he needed he then replied he believed he had everything needed for a peaceful transition to military power.

Peaceful in what sense?
Peaceful transition as government bodies exchange administrations?
Or peaceful from overwhelming suppression?
Edit: In my short 29 years, I've never seen a transition like this, with so many active military units on Capitol or national soil.
Or maybe its peaceful like those protests from last summer?

Quite right, it is and very true. Seems a lifetime ago we had "milk toast" inaugurations with puffy dresses and dapper suits and now we have 25k armed troops that have been given authority to use lethal force. It speaks volumes about where our country is headed if we don't course correct because rhetoric on both sides only seems to be escalating.

It must really suck to be that wrapped up in a lie. Look at the DC traffic cameras, there is no violence anywhere to be seen on the eve of the very transfer you're talking about. Anywhere.

What lie? There are 25k national guard troops in DC. It's a militarized zone. For an inauguration...That's not normal, fyi.
