Joe Biden's Inauguration: 4am Sydney time/3am Brisbane time, Thursday 21 January, marks the culmination of the free and fair election that Trump failed to thwart.

Trump has organised 2 distractions hours before the Inauguration:

1. A military parade at nearby Andrews Air Force Base to which a Trumpster crowd is invited. The crowd are due to assemble from 11.15pm (Sydney Time) Wednesday 20 January. Trump may well do more crowd incitement. Trump's timing allows several hours for this crowd to travel to Washington, to do their worst during the Noon (US time) Inauguration.

2. Instead of attending the Inauguration (as is customary) Trump will fly from Andrews Air Base to one of his palaces, just north of Miami Florida. This will establish an alibi before the likely riot in Washington. It is also possible Trump may incite a crowd in the Miami area.

Additional scenarios to Trumpster violence in/around Washington are Trumpster Riots of Opportunity in US State Capitals and other major US cities. These may happen while most US security attention is focused on Washington. http://www.9news.com.au/world/fbi-vetting-guard-troops-in-dc-amid-fears-of-insider-attack/374127e2-e1dd-4685-9216-33b0c8660186

If any violence happens this will dominate Aussie morning news, on Thursday 21 January. The most sustained reporting for us, is likely to be "ABC America World News" 12.30pm Sydney time, on SBS TV. This will be immediately followed, at 1pm, by "PBS NewsHour" on SBS TV.

Here's hoping nothing violent happens.

"Here's hoping nothing violent happens."

Oh! Go on.

Hi Issy

What do you mean Muchacho?

Do you expect violence following Trump's Andrews Air Base Rally from 12 midnight (Sydney Time) today

or perhaps even want it?

Pete, maybe one of the avgas jockeys will "go rogue" and drop a nuke on Capitol Hill.. and another shoots down the 'Don' en route to Florida...problem solved !

Hi Albie

Even Trump (flying back to Florida in Air Force One) wouldn't deserve to be shot down. Also noting 20+ other people would likely be in the jet and a large crashing jet tends to kill people on the ground.

Washington DC is at the moment hypersensitive - so even a routine housefire, somewhere in Greater Washington area of 10 million people, might set off Inauguration Security alarm bells.

Plantagent, find out the politics of the murderer of Martin Luther King and you will know the Party of violence in the USA. Trump has named the 22 January the Sanctity of life Day, hardly a day of riots.
