The threatened massive protests over the weekend didn't materialize. There were apparently a couple of folks here and there but not much. A spokesman in Trenton said there were more skateboarders than demonstrators.
What, if anything, will occur tomorrow during the inauguration we will have to wait and see.
Trump is getting a sendoff at Andrews Air Force base after deciding not to attend Biden's inauguration. The report is that he will have a military band playing "Hail to the Chief" one last time. If it soothes his ego, I don't have a problem with it.
Most anyone in Washington of any importance, including Mike Pence and Mitch McConnell, will be skipping the ceremony to attend a pre-inaugural mass with Joe Biden.
Already it seems like breaths of fresh air emanating from DC. Biden has reasonable plans ready to go. Whether Republicans will get on the bandwagon or fight everything tooth and nail we shall see.
I don't expect them to roll over and play dead nor should they.
Actually, I expect progressives, complaining that Biden's plans don't go far enough, to be just as big a headache.
