But it's okay for Trump to golf & complain about fashion magazines ignoring Melania. I may have a glass of champagne myself to celebrate this abomination of a President's last day in office.

I will be raising a glass with you Luzette.

January 20 2021 will be a truly great day for America, one of the most momentous in my lifetime - right up there with the signing of the Civil Rights Act, and maybe the day that Richard Nixon resigned.

I think there will many raising a glass when the day finally comes. Trump is so unstable now that I'm not going to breathe easy until he is completely out with no more threats & schemes to undo the election. It would not surprise me if in those last moments of madness he calls on followers to be violent.

Did you know that the original Enterprise is a fictional ship in a fictional universe, and that calculations of warp speed are not Star Trek canon?

Nothing wrong with a toast to celebrate removing evil from the Oval Office. Oh, and your classy comment is completely unwarranted as my toasting has nothing to do with COVID. I know COVID up front and personal...I’m a health care provider.

You are right anything is possible and there is no doubt he will do everything in his power to poison the well for Biden. He is like a vengeful adolescent.

There has been a threat of violence from the Neo-fascist Right for many decades. The FBI has always identified the far-right for the great majority of terrorist acts in the USA.

Point is that even if Trump dog-whistles for acts of violence, these were already on the radar long before he existed. With that being said there is little doubt that police agencies will be on high alert during the transition.

"A June 2020 study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) reported that over 25 years of domestic terrorism incidents, the majority of attacks and plots had come from far-right attackers.

The trend had accelerated in recent years, with this sector responsible for about 66% of attacks and plots in 2019, and 90% of those in 2020. The next most potentially dangerous group was “religious extremists”, the majority “Salafi jihadists inspired by the Islamic State and al-Qaida”, while the number planned by the far left had reduced to a minute fraction since the mid 2000s."
