The "January Surprise," the assassination of Biden and Harris, Trump's final bid for power.

In a 12/25/20 post Carusoswi inquired: We all expected Trump to pardon his cover-up cronies, but Kushner and the Blackwater boys?

My reply: Blackwater's connection is thru the brother of Trump-appointed U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. Tho no longer CEO, her Brother can still muster loyal mercenaries. Carusoswi's question and watching the 1970 fantastic movie Neapolitan, started me thinking and giving chills and goosebumps.

Why Blackwater, simple? Blackwater is of course a mercenary group of well-experienced highly-trained and to-the-moment-equipped for the pay legal killers. They salute the money and enjoy the kill. Blackwater and the Proud-Boys will take part in The "January Surprise," the assassination of Biden and Harris, Trump's final bid for power.

The Proud-Boys will be the focus of a diversion for the Secret Service and DC Police. While diverted, the Blackwater group will open and their coats and assemble their gyro-stabilized Ai sighted rifles, and proceed to assassinate both Biden and Harris during the January 20th swearing-in ceremony. Both Biden and Harris will be on stage fully exposed; a simple effective plan for Trump's Nepolianic comeback. By moments, the legally required swearing-in will not yet have happened. In Trump's mind that makes a clear path to his "truly deserved" second term.

The plan is so audacious that there will be no adequate preparation. The US Pentagon/military has already, unknowingly, given their blessing by announcing that it is not their job to be involved in domestic politics. Once Trump has his continuation as "Commander & Chief" the Military will follow his orders. The Republicans in the Congress and Senate will be fully in charge because key or all Democrats will be arrested, the Republican votes will be unanimous backing Trump. The simple effective unexpected January surprise. Joseph Stalin could do no better and Putin's advice will be effective.

Well UHH people, is it possible, plausible, or simply a plot for a drama on TV? What will be his Waterloo?

At this point I would put nothing past him. He is a sick man who will do anything to remain President.

I certainly hope that on 21 Jan I can write, "Don, you were wrong. Thank God!"

But part of me also sort of hopes I can write, "Don, you were right... except for the ending!" because it just might take something this fiendish, ugly and cruel to put an end to the madness. Trump has lost it (election; mind; credibility; respect) and it is almost unfathomable that Republicans in Congress can't see the reality before them. These people are not supposed to be stupid; many have advanced degrees in medicine, law, economics, etc.

Today is the 25th... and it is time for the 25th!!!!!!!

Good God hope not. What would happen would make the Civil War of 1861 to 65 look like child play. His Waterloo will be on Jan.21,2021 at noon EST.

It is terrible that such a event is even being talked about in this country. Trump has changed the norm forever.

The 25th and the history of its use are discussed clearly here:

Let us not forget that Putin may supply doorknob goop to Trump at one of the private meeting they have had. The Whitehouse must be cleaned carefully.

March 2018: A Russian ex-spy and his daughter first came into contact with the nerve agent that poisoned them at their home, police have said. The highest concentration of the agent used against Sergei and Yulia Skripal was found on their front door.

don't give him any ideas... very much to your point however, we need the 20th to be behind us with a very boring transfer of power. It speaks volumes that we are even worried about events like this.

Very true. Only under Trump have we had cause to worry about a sitting President deliberately setting fire to our Republic.

So true, one of the independent new shows, Tom Hartman was saying that Trump has a standing independent army, the ones used to clear the streets so he could get the bible photo at the church. Hartman was saying that the police and Secret Service would be no match for the Trump Army and the courts would take months to debate and consider if it was a legal take over and the military would stand down forgetting their pledge to the constitution. Here in FL my neighbors are Trumpites and feel he was cheated by a great conspiracy!! My reply was conspiracies are hard to keep secret ... 50 states and they kept a secret conspiracy... no way...Three can keep a secret as long as two are dead.

And the house is going to be demolished and the space will be left and no house will be rebuilt in its place.

Just letting you know that I wish for your sake that your prediction comes true. I would love to see Nancy and Schiff be president and vice president.

This is the sort of liberal thinking that results in the Secret Service and/or the FBI knocking on your door. Let us know how it goes.

WABOBS, FUBAR in fact. You guys need to get a life beyond your keyboards.

Actually, with reference to such notions in the era of Trump I think SNAFU is the correct acronym.

To spend so much time on matters of a different country is beyond my comprehension, do you have any time left to worry about Canada and its problems.
