I’ve made comments in the video feeds about the most likely out come. Some are predicting martial law and other similar things. I’m having trouble seeing how that would be legal and justifiable, particularly to allies.
X-22 and Dave Hayes talk about that stuff on rumble: https://rumble.com/embed/vaa03z/?pub=3cfc3
Hopefully we can handle a rumble link. Youtube may go down as a casualty of battle soon.
I think Trump and his team are banking on Biden and Harris making a big mistake between the 16th and the 25th. There are a lot of mistakes Biden and his people could make: Ordering police to arrest innocent people; shooting at rioters in the capital; communicating with China in a manner that is treasonous.
Trump and almost everyone have warned off Maga and patriots telling them to not go near the Capital. So if there are riots it will be the anarchist left verses the national guard. Also there are rumor’s (but only that) that any Trump supporting National Guard personnel have been screened out of the contingent sent to Washington. So anything that happens in Washington streets will be left on left or left on anarchists.
Everyone is boycotting the swearing in of Biden except a few RINO’s and Pence. I believe Pence has volunteered to take that terrible job to save others from it. As a Christian he has nothing to fear. His wife’s a historian so having the Pence’s covering the event will be significant. Pence’s decisions on the 6th were not a choice. The choices had been closed off by events of the day. The left found someone that could out play Trump and his team.
What ever is done must be justifiable to the majority of the population and the majority of the US’s allies: NATO, ASEAN, ANUS, etc. While some here dismiss foreign opinion it does matter. America needs allies, New Zealand has just left the 5 eyes treaty’s with the US and has embraced China. Australia, where I am, is standing firm. While some heads of state like Canada’s Trudeau are too far gone, the parliament is not and he is facing an election he does not want.
Biden, silicon Valley and the mainstream media are working hard to get to the point where non Maga Republicans, independent voters, libertarians, and even those that don’t vote at all are now seeing Trumps point.
We will never convince the left that Trump won the election, Biden is demented and a corrupt traitor or that the lefts policies are doomed. However if they had the numbers they would not have needed so much cheating.
Pelosi and the Democrats are projecting so much it lights up the sky. Metal detectors at the doors of congress to stop Republicans going into the floor of the house with guns. As if they think Republicans are going to have a battle in the congress like the one in 1866 or 1954. Historically the attackers are always on the left, democrats, pro slavery or communists anyway.
Screening out Republicans and Trump supporters from the National Guard units sent to Washington, is something that both sides might do. Since all of Maga has been warned off, it will be left on left and sending home Trump supporters means they can’t be blamed. The streets of Washington itself are now a trap for antifa, BLM, the pussy hat feminists and the rest of the left. If a mistake is made there, does it bring down Biden? Is it enough for military to intervene? It wont be Trump intervening. It must not be Trump intervening. Is the left divided enough in victory to act to bring about its own defeat?
That’s my take. Biden must make the next move and it must be a mistake.

Who knows? But great read.. Five stars from me
“…and sending home Trump supporters means they can’t be blamed.”
I don’t think you’re giving Democrats, the media and Big Tech as much credit as they deserve. They have already conclusively proven that they don’t consider evidence to have any bearing on whether they can blame Republicans/conservatives/Trump supporters.
Meanwhile, I feel compelled to share something I said on Quora, in response to a post expressing concern about the future of the republic:
The problem I see here is this:
“Hamilton addresses this, too, in Federalist #28. What has been called the ‘right of revolution’ may fittingly be invoked ‘if the representatives of the people betray their constituents.’ In such a case ‘there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government.’ “
When tens of millions of people believe that the crime of fraud has been perpetrated against them, and dozens of different courts dismiss all cases without ever examining the evidence, up to and including the Supreme Court of the United States, which has told those tens of millions, in effect, that it just sucks to be them because they have no standing to seek justice…
…in such a case, I cannot consider it unreasonable or irrational for people to conclude that “the representatives of the people have betrayed their constituents.”
Note that I did not say such a fraud had been perpetrated. That’s because it doesn’t matter, at this point, whether it was or not. People believe it was, and every court that has been given the chance has blown off the very idea of considering the evidence. That’s the part that can reasonably be considered a betrayal by their own government.
***
So… the only solutions I see are:
Have an official, legally binding venue in which to examine all the evidence and rule on it, rather than just thumbing your nose at the very idea.
Find someone that the left, the right and the middle all consider unimpeachably trustworthy (good luck with that one) to explain why none of that evidence is relevant, and that therefore it doesn’t matter whether it is examined and ruled upon (good luck with this one too).
Open the floor for resolutions concerning how the USA will be split into two or more countries, so that the two sides who are no longer on speaking terms will not have to put up with what they perceive as the criminal and treasonous activities of the other.
Prepare for another civil war.

Senator Ted Cruz suggested the first solution, and leftists all over the country are saying he should be punished for it, everything from being removed from office to being tried for Sedition.
The second solution… personally I don’t think such a person exists.
The third solution… if leftists are frothing at the mouth in outrage over the first solution even being offered, does anyone think they will go for peaceful secession? Anyone?
I would love to have anyone show me where I am in error with the above. I want to be wrong in my conclusions so badly I can taste it. I’m 62, I didn’t plan to spend my retirement fighting for my life in the war torn, banana republic remains of what was once my beloved home country.
I very much fear that I won’t be allowed any other option.
There are 16 states with veto-proof GOP-majority legislatures, 23 with GOP trifecta control (House Senate, Governorship). If you are fortunate to live in one of them, please find as many fellow residents as you know to join you in pressuring them – repeatedly – to pursue your first solution. Those of us stuck behind the Blue Iron Curtain implore you. Seems WAY too convenient that mere random chance caused the velvet rope ‘storming’ of the Capitol to begin precisely at the time the evidence of election irregularities began to be entered into the US Congressional Record. If there is to be any hope of national comity, this doubt cannot continue to fester under cover of darkness.
As to your last point, I used to believe in a red/blue separation until someone pointed out that our newly-formed neighbor, The Oligarch’s Fiefdom of Wokeness, would have the sovereignty to welcome the installation of CCP PLA bases within their borders. After realizing that, not so much. Bad enough that Trudeau has invited them over for winter training exercises, a permanent presence is suicide.
Vox Day guesses on a Double Envelopment in DC. That’s basically a rare historical battle strategy where you make the opposing army feel like they are winning and at the same time you encircle them. I personally have no clue and too little information to make a judgement for myself. As a foreigner I will just lean back and watch the show. I hope for the best since I much prefer America to be on top of the food chain though.
