Hey @USMarshalsHQ, why would you post this now? You understand that people who follow QAnon believe Trump will be inaugurated on March 4?

(115,683 posts)It was changed to January 20 by the 20th Amendment. Nothing peculiar about this; they are just noting the anniversary of Lincoln's departure to DC for his inauguration, scheduled for March 4 as the Constitution provided at the time. But that date is why the Q-balls think Trump will be inaugurated, for reals this time.

(25,471 posts)Inauguration Day was March 4th until the 1930s. That's why they picked the day.
The Marshalls office posted it today because it's the anniversary of the event. It's "this day in history".
There is nothing wrong with providing historical facts, particularly on the anniversary of those facts. We're not going to purge history for a bunch of dipshits.

Get your lethal flagpoles and trDump flags ready to rumble,... some say it is going to be .... WILD.
Who ever from the US Marshal's Office posted this is likely a Oath Keeper Fascist and should be terminated from the government payroll.

(14,147 posts)The original poster at the US Marshal's Headquarters did not post that as a historical reminder of the date/day of Lincoln's inauguration.
It was a sinister post to call to arms the brethren of Fascist trDumpets. It was a Red Hat - Keep AmeriKKKa Great hat tip and salute to that Nazi cheerleading squad.
This a refresher and reminder of history,... like the display and parading of the Confederate flag has everything to do with grandpa's heritage and State's Rights issues,... and absolutely nothing to do with white supremacy or racism.
A flaming bag of bullshit,... is a bouquet of long stem red roses. Smell how pretty it is.

Just thought it was worth noting that the Feb. 23 tweet isn't a one-off. I don't think sinister intent ought to be attributed to it.

(This post is inaccurate, however. Lamon was not named a U.S. Marshall until after Mr Lincoln's inauguration.)
Nothing sinister about the post however.
Just too many drama queens on the web, that's all . . .
