Are you afraid of something happening on Inauguration Day?

You mean he gets shot or that he dissolves the Senate, sweeps away the last remnants of our democracy and lets the regional governors have direct control of their territories hoping that fear will keep the people in line?

 

No. US and Russian intel will be on top of things .

On a serious note... the commanding officer of DC (who is in charge of security for this massive event) has been asked to leave his position right in the middle of it, before the inauguration is completed. Just so foolish to risk security over I don't even know what.

 

Not really. Nothing happened in 2008 with all the talk. The left side is mostly all talk, The right wing nuts are much more likely to do something.

 

I mean it is always possible, I would be more worried about something happening to Hillary if she had won, but certainly insanity doesn't respect political divisions and doubtless there are a few of my fellow liberals just as nutty as the battiest Trump supporters.

Generally the secret service does a great job, but there are limits to how well anyone can be protected against someone willing to die.

I would say its a 10% chance someone tries something and is successful enough we find out about it, probably less than 3 percent any lives are lost and less than 1 percent President Elect Trump is harmed.

But I am still afraid of it because of the awful consequences for the country.

 

I am afraid of Trump officially becoming the President.

 

Not really. I mean, I expect a loud and hopefully only mildly violent temper tantrum from the left, but hopefully that'll be it and they'll get it out of their system and finally put losing the election behind them.

 

I think someone will get hit while blocking a street.

 

LOL, it's always hilarious when that happens.

 

I think Trump being President is way more harmful than something happening to Trump. We've had assassinations of Presidents and survived just fine, we haven't had an ignorant, thin skinned, capricious buffoon with his finger on the button.

 

I am curious about the button, if Trump just orders a sub captain to nuke say ISIS, is there check and balance in place to stop it or is the president's order all it takes?

 

No check and balance. Absolute power. Of course, human are involve, so they may flinch. It's a power that ah, shouldn't be so absolute.

 

Should be fun four years.

 

This is the plot of a TV show.

 

LOL - what? That is not remotely true, there is much worse that could happen to our country than something happening to that orange lying dirt bag.

The country would be just fine without him......and probably a lot better off.

I am afraid that not enough folks will turn out to protest, and too many Dmocratic officials will attend the inauguration of this this clown and it will help normalize Trump.

 

Nothing can normalize that man, he makes sure of that.

Denzel Washington will belay the order.

 

If the hateful rhetoric keeps coming out from the left then yes something will happen. We saw the same thing with the hateful rhetoric coming out of BLM and the bubble increase of violence against LEOs. There are crazy people out there who will listen to the garbage and act out. Your Oswalds, Sirhan Sirhan, James Earl Ray, types are out there.
