    Good morning, PFers!

    Today is Sunday, January 17th, 2021.

    In yesterday's posting, I noticed that on the day before, the acting Secretary of Defense, Christopher Miller, had a wide-off-the-offramp-veering half-presser on board his plane, which people essentially thought was batshit crazy and the OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT for which reads, after awhile, he said "blah blah blah".

    Yesterday, that same acting Secretary, who has now maybe been on the job all of 4 or 5 days (he is a Trump loyalist, to put it mildly), made a strange demand of the DHS that is sending up pretty little red flags all over:

    Acting defense secretary orders NSA director to immediately install former GOP operative as the agency’s top lawyer - The Washington Post

    People are not really sure what to make of this. The DOD does not have this power over the DHS, they are two independent-of-each-other-agencies. Oh, and you would think that Michael Ellis would have found time over 60 days to take a lie-detector test if he was really interested in the job. Hmmmm.....

    Yesterday was once again eerily quiet that the almost empty White House and until now, Trump has not yet released his final pardon list.

    What did happen yesterday is is began to sink in with the Average Joe that the US Government, under the Trump administration, lied brazenly to the American people about this actual number of vaccine vials it had in storage, ready to go into peoples' arms. Instead of the promised 100,000,000, it's only 30,000,000. This is going to make Joe Biden's life more difficult, no doubt about it. Even if he enacts the Emergency Defense Supply Act one minute after taking the oath of office, it will take more than one month for companies to retool and produce vials of the vaccine. So, there is absolutely not doubt in my mind that among soon-to-be former Trump administration officials, heads are going to roll (figuratively speaking).

    There have been warnings for days now that there could be armed attacks once again from the red-hatted MAGA sedition/treachery crowd, starting today, January 17th and going past January 20th. Police and national guard are on high alert in a number of state capitols, most prominently, in AZ, MN, WI, MI, OH, PA and GA. We can all hope that these warnings do not come to fruition.

    Since no one has offered to do it for him, Trump has ordered a full honors military send-off for himself on January 20th, in the morning, including a 7-gun salute. It's kind of sad when you have to demand that people respect you. Also, 7-gun salutes can be used for such occasions, but more often than not, they are used for funeral services/processions for high-level officials, so you kind of have to wonder where Trump's mind is these days.

    Guaranteed, once the USA has a new administration, we are going to be reading all sorts of hair-raising stories about the previous administration. A juristic reckoning is coming and I suspect that for a number of Trump bootlickers, things are about to get downright uncomfortable. Here's looking at you, Alex Azar.

    The good news is:

    in 3 days from today, on January 20th, 2021, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. and Kamala Devi Harris will be sworn-in as our Republic's 46th President and 49th Vice-President, respectively.

    So put toadies into place in DnD and the secuity infrastructure, have a big military send off on the morning of Jan 20th with a fly over of military jets flown by trump white supremacists that will attack the inauguration wiht missiles taking out most of the incoming government and trump declaring a national emergency since Biden wasn't sworn in and no cabinet members have been confirmed.

    Okay so I had just blazed a joint. Then I remembered Ivanka et.al are going to be in attendance. So that shoots that perfectly good conspiracy theory in the head.

    What does this have to do with DHS? You know the NSA is a DoD agency right? "including taking a polygraph test" is normal for NSA

    I'm sure enthusiastic volunteers can be found. The issue is the higher-ups.

    I hope they pass a law that will name some alternative successor other than Kamala to take over should Biden become incapacitated.

    I don't care what your political persuasion is, you can be right or left, but that woman is not qualified to be President, and with someone like Biden (who is more advanced in age than any previous president in American history) Kamala was a really questionable choice to be nominated to the stand-by position.

    I'm sure "they" will get right on that. But I share your deeeep desire to ensure only those who are "qualified" can be President. But you'll forgive me if I reject ethnicity as one of those qualifications. If a fat tub of lard reality tv ignorant blowhard is qualified because he's a rich boorish white guy, I'll take a career public servant and former California AG.

    I'd almost even take Opera over Kamala, for Vice President.

    That is absolutely correct. So, why did the guy never get around to taking said polygraph test? Why did he not do this?

    Also, the DoD is the parent agency of the NSA, but it not supposed to make personnel decisions. The reorganization of personnel decisions came with Bush 43 after 911. You know that, right?

    LOL

    You have some really weird wet-dreams.

    Kamala Harris is more than qualified . 81,284,778 million voters also said so. And btw, that 7.1 million more votes than loser Trump received, so to be crystal clear.
