What do you think happens on Inauguration Day?
He’ll have some kind of rally. It will be like the victimhood rally, depending on what happens to him, but if he’s just allowed to stay there, he’ll have some kind of rally, and that will help to kick off this next phase that we’re talking about. And it’ll be like super-dangerous grievance stuff, because now that he’s out of power, he’s going to be more unleashed and unhinged than ever. I hope people are realizing that. You know, I feel bad because people want to relax, because Biden’s coming in and we didn’t even get to enjoy the victories in Georgia, and instead they have to prepare themselves, to be ever more vigilant.

OATH KEEPERS, QANON AND OTHER EXTREMIST TERRORIST PEOPLE WILL BE ATTACKING LOCAL & STATE PUBLIC OFFICIALS.
FORMER CHESTER COUNTY PA SHERIFF CAROLYN "BUNNY" WELSH PRAISES OATH KEEPERS IN VIDEO BELOW
On Wednesday January 6th as the terrorist attack on the Nations Capitol began I wrote:
I don’t expect effective political assassinations today in Washington DC because of the high level of security. I do expect political assassinations of Republicans or Democrats almost anywhere else at any level of government. Happy 2021!
I can’t overstate that those same kinds of people, maybe not the same people because many are being arrested, will come to kill state and local government officials.
Most state and local government officials have zero 24/7 security.
And since they came to hang Mike Pence from a tree and take hostage & murder on video any Republican or Democrat they could catch it doesn’t matter what political party government officials belong to.
All local, state & federal government officials are now need security in case of kidnaping and or assassination attempts.
A radical and growing organization of ‘constitutional sheriffs’ is promoting defiance of federal laws it doesn’t like.

BECAUSE THEY CAME CLOSE TO BEING SUCCESSFULLY HANGING VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE AND CREATING EXECUTION VIDEOS OF OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS DOMESTIC TERRORISTS ARE PSYCHED UP.
OATH KEEPERS AND OTHER EXTREMIST TERRORIST PEOPLE WILL BE ATTACKING LOCAL & STATE PUBLIC OFFICIALS.
"Nothing appears to deter these extremists, who are currently basking in massive online adulation by their far-right brethren for the attack on American democracy as Jared Holt, analyst for the Atlantic Council, explained to Greg Sargent of The Washington Post.
“By all measurable effects, this was for far-right extremists one of the most successful attacks that they’ve ever launched,” Holt said. “This will be lionized and propagandized on likely for the next decade.”
Moreover, he explained, the insurrectionists’ success in overtaking the building will be a long-term talking point for the radical right: “These communities are discussing the attack as some sort of validation that it actually is possible for them to exert their power like this and achieve results. They’re talking about this as the first stab in a greater revolution.”
Certainly, the insurrectionists Wednesday had no doubts that they would be returning with even greater violence in mind. Multiple rioters verbally attacked police officers trying to hold the line, telling them, as one of them did afterwards: “Traitors get the rope. Traitors get the noose. Wait till we come back with rifles, motherfucker. You think that’s an idle threat?”
One of the Capitol invaders interviewed by Fischer blamed Mike Pence for the day’s violence, notably the shooting of an insurrectionist near the House chambers by a Capitol Police officer.
“We’re not putting up with this tyrannical rule!” he shouted. “If we gotta come back here and start a revolution, and take all of these traitors out, which is what should be done, then we will.”'

Insurrectionists didn’t just come to invade the Capitol, some were planning to take hostages
The people who besieged the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday were not merely rioters and insurrectionists. Some of them appear to have been intent on taking hostages and murdering them, and there are signs that the attempt was carefully planned out.
The support for an armed terrorist coup on the United States Government is horrifying.

And speaking of the 25th Amendment, what do you see as the best path forward, for both the immediate future dealing with Trump over the next couple of weeks and looking forward at the MAGAverse and how to deal with that over the next few years?
I think every day he stays there it’s like increasing danger. And it can get more dangerous than now because he’s going to be more inclined to do desperate things, to sell intelligence, to sell out people, to take revenge ― just suping up everything he’s already been doing. And so he shouldn’t be allowed to stay there.
This doesn’t depend on the government, but his Twitter account and other social media accounts should not be restored. It’s like just a tiny slap on the wrist that doesn’t teach anybody anything. That’s the same thing that happens to these extremist wackos, and then they get their accounts back and they start all over again.
He’s the far-right wacko in chief, and he should be de-platformed for sure. He’s the biggest danger to society we have. So going forward, I mean, unfortunately, I foresee a lot of turbulence, an attempt to make America as dangerous as possible and blame it on “antifa” and other groups; and a lot of extremism and domestic terrorism, all to create the need for “law and order” government so that Republicans can get back into power. I mean, I hope that doesn’t happen, but I could see that happening.
And that essentially is what you think is the motivation behind this campaign to blame everything on antifa?
A day before this happened, [the Trump administration] issued that weird proclamation about antifa being terrorists. And it’s like, what? Interesting timing. But luckily, the attempt to blame antifa hasn’t really stuck. I mean, I know it’s being circulated on right-wing sites, but the visuals are so compelling it’s hard to blame it on the left.

That feels like an argument for arresting him.
Yeah. He has to be removed. For the good of everyone
