Hello Mrs. DSL!

[lineygoblue]

Where would they have it indoors that is big enough to accommodate a lot of people?

The second inauguration of Ronald Reagan as president of the United States was held in a televised ceremony^[1] on January 20, 1985, at the White House,^[2] and was repeated the following day, January 21, 1985, at the Capitol's rotunda. This was the 50th presidential inauguration and marked the commencement of the second and final four-year term of both Ronald Reagan as president and of George H. W. Bush as vice president. At 73 years, 349 days of age on Inauguration Day, Reagan was the oldest U.S. president to be inaugurated until Joe Biden's inauguration as president on January 20, 2021, at the age of 78 years, 61 days.^[3] This was the last inauguration to be held inside the capitol due to bad weather until 2025.^[4]

Trump moves it indoors...Progs say "What a pussy!"

Trump keeps it outside...Progs say "What an egomaniac who doesn't even care about the safety of the people!"

It’s probably harder to shoot him at an indoor event, too.

[Mike]

Hmm. Forecast is 25 and sunny. That’s not too bad. Oh well. Will it be televised?

[THE_WIZARD_]

Yes it will be televised. And yes the left is mad because they won't get a clear shot at him now.

Just thinking of William Henry Harrison...

Was he a threat to democracy?

[lineygoblue]

Probably better that its inside. He's already had two attempts on his life, and the inside venue will take away a lot of advantages some unhinged loony bird has.

If the Senate "confirmation" hearings are any indication of the selective outrage of the left, the Secret Service is going to have their hands full. The left is still going to call him a threat to democracy and a threat to the very existence of the country. Some loony is going to feel "justified" in trying to end the threat.

Actual Israelis not as enthusiastic for endless war as those around here. 72% support a ceasefire for hostages deal. Only 13% against.

Poll: Majority of Israelis support deal ending Gaza war for release of all hostages | The Times of Israel

I'll get back to this. It really is difficult to accurately gauge Palestinian support for Hamas. If that poll asks a straight forward question, e.g., "do you support Hamas?", you're more likely to get a response, "it depends." I'll try to unpack this later today. It is definitely not a binary response to that question.

Look into Israeli opinion while you’re at it.

[Dr. Strangelove]

What are you talking about, Jeff? The poll was of Israelis, not Palestinians. In the conservative district Netanyahu himself represents 56% were in favor of a deal, just 24% opposed.
