37. They'll be ready. I'm 100% positive of that!

Mark my words: the security at the Capitol will be tight as a drum on January 6, 2025, and probably for a while leading up to it. I'm talking cops in full riot gear and the National Guard as backup.

Last time TSF blocked any help from the National Guard, remember? The Capitol Police were not expecting a violent, armed mob to invade the Capitol, and they weren't ready for it. When the violence broke out, TSF rebuffed their requests for help and made sure they didn't get any. That was what enabled the rioters to get in and swarm all over the place. That is NOT going to happen this time.

This time Joe Biden is potus, and he's going to be ready for anything Trump and his cultists might try to pull. IF they decide to try, they won't get very far. In fact, any would-be marauders may just back right off when they see what the security is like.

There may be some threats or even attempts at violence in some localities, and some local leo will probably be busy, but I believe the U.S. Capitol is going to be just fine. The certification will be completed on time, and nothing TSF does (or tries to do) is going to stop Harris and Walz from being sworn in on January 20.
