B.I.B.

Captain
I think the act of Pence is significant. Under U.S. constitution the vice president ONLY assumes the presidency (the office) when the president is incapacitated, the mobilizations of national guard is the authority of the presidency.

This means few things.
  1. In the view of many in the U.S. power hierarchy (both parties), Trump is not holding the presidency anymore.
  2. The military agrees to this point.
  3. Incapacitation is apparently not due to health, but rather refusing to conduct the duty of maintaining order and law.
Point 3 is the lead for something later. Trump's deliberate not fulfilling duty of the presidential office is a crime that can be impeached during his time in office. And I don't think he can get away with it even after leaving the office. So there may be some drama ahead of us in the coming months. Get ready with popcorn and bears. :cool:
While I never watched the protest and invasion of the Capitol building? people have said that the police pushback was rather weak with some even high fiving with the protesters. The initial lack of security, in the beginning, makes one wonder if there was some indirect involvement by the higher ups.
