What do you think will happen on Jan 6 of 2022?

We know Trump is planning to give an address, and Pelosi has call for a solemn observance. But what else will happen? Will the fascists declare a holiday and have more rioting? How will members of Congress behave outside of the Capital? How will the MSM observe the day?

I just can't believe that nothing significant will happen.

It would be so satisfying to see a thousand MAGAts assemble on the lawn there and the secret service would then shoot them with tear gas to disperse the scumbags. It would be especially nice if the media was there to report on it. Of course, it would wind up being ANTIFA and FBI plants trying to make the GQP look bad (I was going to say that would be Chuck Toad's reporting but I thought maybe I shouldn't be so mean).

9. Never ever snows in that part of FL, not even 40 years ago when it snowed in N. Fl annually.

Now, we didn't get much snow, but we got flurries every year. We haven't had any snow flurries even here since 1989 and no freezing days this year so far. Climate change is already here.

A tornado would be something to wish for, that could happen.

Okay, I've got it!



A sinkhole that quickly refills itself with all of Maga Laga in it, or whatever facility where the event will be held.

Management at the place where I was employed at the time were hyperventilating.
It took a special effort to keep me from laughing in their faces.

01-06-22 will be a non-event.

12. The observance that Speaker Pelosi hosts will be a dignified affair

The demonstration by supporters of the former guy will be . . . less dignified. And considerably smaller. The former guy will jump up and down squealing "Look at meeeeeee!" and will be more or less ignored by all media outlets except Fox.
