Last time they rioted when djt was on his way out. This time they could riot on trDUMP's way back in.

They know their way around the premises. They could really tear the place apart.

Shock and Awe the US Capitol again MAGATs. Trash the place into a heap of smoking rubble in honor of the triumvent return of the Tangerine Traitor/Fuhrer.

The change was announced on official website explaining that change of venue was requested by President- elect and that their "tickets" would no longer allow them to even enter Capitol grounds. So they will have to go to the Capital One Arena in Chinatown area of DC to see the inauguration on a big screen.

.... can't the MAGA Goon Crowd attack the place with a couple of hundred drones like the Ukrainian military does ?

That would be a wonderful Shock and Awe - in honor of their Tangerine Messiah being inaugurated for term 2.0.

I'm sure security will be MUCH tighter tomorrow than it was on 1/6/2021. IF the goons were to try to attack the Capital (which I don't think they will), they'll be squished like bugs in short order.

I know Democrats who booked plane tickets and reserved hotel rooms before the election, but they insured the rooms were cancelable and the flights fully refundable. They cancelled everything last November. 😥

get refundable rooms/flights. Plus, they bought the expensive tickets that are now just 'commemorative'.

He'll stop holding rallies once the MAGAites realize how badly they've been conned and they begin carrying a scaffold for him.

I'll bet a helicopter landing pad is being built at Mar-a-Lego so Dear Leader can avoid the pitchfork carrying mob and fly the 30 minutes directly to Homestead Air Reserve Base, which would be the closest safe place for Air Force One to park.

Security will be (and no doubt already is) orders of magnitude tighter than it was on 1/6/2021. IF the goons were to try to attack the Capital (which I don't think they will), they'll be squished like bugs in short order.

Same thing if they start a riot at some other location in the area. Authorities in DC are probably constantly watching for trouble, with every law enforcement agency for miles around on alert.

I would not lose any sleep worrying about this.

They expected to gather on the mall and watch on big screens. Some will still mill around outside even though there will be no big screens. The vast majority will watch on tv or their phones. Those that were here to attend inaugural balls still will do so. The rest will go out to a bar and celebrate. A few will just go home. In the end they won't blame trump.

After spending all that money. And they will be told to shut up, settle and be grateful. And they will.

May the credit card bills last as long as Trump’s term, the interest be astronomical, and the payment serve as a monthly reminder of their idiocy and betrayal.
