When I went to DC fall of 2018, those ugly walls surrounded the place. That seems to be changing. Hope I go back soon.
In the first 100 days.
Doesn't clicking the "Watch" button do the same thing?
Biden brought The Muppet Show to Disney+. Promises made, promises kept.
I thought there was not going to be a parade

Actor John Wilkes Booth, an ardent supporter of the southern cause, listened in the crowd that day. Achorn says Booth thought Lincoln was a tyrant who should be removed. He killed the president a few weeks later at Ford's Theatre, but some suspect he tried to do it sooner at his second inauguration.
"He got a pass into the Capitol building and he used that pass to slip men behind Lincoln when Lincoln was walking out to the platform and somebody apprehended him," Achorn says. "God knows what would have happened if they hadn't. There's a lot of people who thought Booth wanted to kill Lincoln right on the platform in the way maybe like Brutus killing [Julius] Caesar at the Senate."
Good news: Senate Dems will introduce a sweeping pro-democracy bill today as the first bill under their new majority. Includes automatic voter registration, rehabbing Voting Rights Act, and more. It's the Dem answer to Trump's assault on our democracy:

I feel you. I'm not going to be able to truly relax until Thursday.I'm honestly terrified for tomorrow. I pray it goes off without a hitch, but there's this dread feeling that I just can't shake.
It feels like Election Day all over again, I remember expecting to see violence at the polls but afaik nothing happened (given that mostly Rs voted on Election Day tho)I'm honestly terrified for tomorrow. I pray it goes off without a hitch, but there's this dread feeling that I just can't shake.
And if so, you'll probably start seeing real cracks in how the filibuster is handled.

I'm not that worried. Now that all these Trumpers see that there are in fact consequences for their actions, I don't expect too much bullshit.
Its an all day event. The parade, swear in, speech, and farewell to the departing president is during the day but that's followed by galas all evening long.
I imagine this year will be much different with covid restrictions killing these events shifting the focus to the outdoor light show.

Kilmeade is among the six opinionators who will get informal week-long tryouts to become the permanent host of the 7 p.m. hour, which is being called "Fox News Primetime." Also getting a turn are business news anchor Maria Bartiromo and conservative Fox News contributors Katie Pavlich, Rachel Campos-Duffy and former congressman Trey Gowdy, as well as commentator Mark Steyn, a favorite guest of Fox ratings champ Tucker Carlson. (The names were first reported by the Los Angeles Times.) By trading an hour of news for opinion, the network quietly shifted the balance of programming, from one that gave a slight majority of its time to news — 11 hours compared with nine for opinion — to an even split. (Fox considers its afternoon panel show "Outnumbered" part of its news division, even though it often focuses on culture-war topics, like Monday's segment on "cancel culture," because lead panelist Harris Faulkner is a news anchor.)The prime-time shift has rattled some staffers at the network — "a message that they care about opinion more than news," said one news-side employee who was not authorized to comment publicly and so spoke on the condition of anonymity.There was particular concern voiced Monday when Bartiromo's name became public as a potential replacement, considering the criticism she has faced for comments she made questioning the legitimacy of the presidential election.Bartiromo's name and show were mentioned multiple times in a Dec. 10 legal letter from the voting technology company Smartmatic demanding the network retract "dozens of false and misleading statements regarding Smartmatic." In response, Fox aired a short segment that corrected falsities about Smartmatic on several of its programs — though when it was Bartiromo's turn to introduce the segment, she added as a postscript, "We will keep investigating.""It is ludicrous and disheartening that we are rewarding [Bartiromo] with a prime-time spot, knowing full well she is among the most responsible for propagating the big election lie," a second news division staffer said."Maybe they wanted that sizzling-hot opinion anger," said another.For current and former Fox News employees who spoke to The Washington Post, the switch to opinion at 7 p.m. was a sign that the network's news division has lost the larger battle to the opinion division, which generates far more viewers."They want to restore their conservative base. They're going to serve the people who brought them to the dance," said Carl Cameron, who spent 22 years as a reporter for Fox News before retiring as the network's chief political correspondent in 2017. "Conservatives are going to want to hear what's wrong with Joe Biden. It's easier for Fox to beat Newsmax and everybody else back into the woods than it is for them to try to compete with the real journalism networks."

And the filibuster, as it is, will die.

HR1 commeth!
I'm weirdly not worried about tomorrow. I think the militias are scared right now because of all of the arrests, and I think if/when they decide to strike again it's not going to be during such an obvious target like the Inauguration. The fact that the majority of the protests on the 17th were total duds after all the talk of a "martyr march" reinforces this imo.

That's the point, this is the counter to all the fraud they've been selling, properly presented they either have to allow it through or if not perfect reason to nerf the filibuster
It does:
The bill also seeks to restore protections in the Voting Rights Act that the Supreme Court gutted and to block states from disenfranchising felons. It would require states to adopt independent redistricting commissions, a strike at likely GOP efforts to gerrymander House maps in 2021.
