Out or curiosity, for those with kids old enough to understand, are you going to watch the inauguration live or delay it just in case? I am having Challenger flashbacks... My kids are 6.5 and a fresh 8. I will have it on in the living room but I imagine they probably won't pay much attention to it. Wednesday is when we usually do history so I'm going to try to do a little lesson explaining the inauguration and then tell them I will have it on.

My kids are 10 and 7 and will be at school. If they were home I would probably have it on, but I doubt they would sit and watch much of it. They have seen bits and pieces of the news from January 6 and we’ve talked about it.

My son is 5 and he’ll be at PreK, but I’d have it on. He saw a lot of the election news and then the insurrection as well. I was discussing with some friends that I may be too open with him for his age.

My kid isn’t old enough to really understand, but I have pics of him in front of the TV for both impeachments (my god), the Capitol invasion and Biden being named victor. You can see the scrolling announcements in each. So we’ll be watching so I can take another pic of him in front of the TV with Biden becoming CiC and ending this nightmare presidency.
Wednesday is our last day in quarantine, but I’ve been working this whole time, so I might take the day off.

We'll all be in school on Wednesday but I plan to show the inauguration events when we get home. We have a paper chain countdown and have been talking about it so I want them to see it. I also want them to see Jill Biden's speech! I am so terrified on what could happen on Wednesday. It's hard to believe that we're at the point where we need military to help ensure a peaceful inauguration day. It's something you think happens in lesser developed countries but here we are.

My kids have school, but they will be on lunch (we are virtual). DS1 has history right after lunch so I assume they will also be watching it there.

We're going to watch live with M who is almost five. The inaugural committee is hosting a curated livestream for kids, which seems like it might also have pre-recorded content. I think it'll be okay. It has to be okay.

I am having Challenger flashbacks... oh god, I didn’t think of that. I was planning to watch live with my 9-year-old, but maybe I need to rethink that. I was in 1st grade when the Challenger exploded, and have vivid memories of it.

Ugh. I've been worried about this. We already get gun nuts on a normal year. Add in the elevated tensions this year and I'm sure it's gonna be worse. Thank god we live out in the middle of an adjacent county, and neither of us have to go to work downtown today. MH's work is right downtown, only a few blocks from the capitol. They've already been told to avoid the area and don't go into the office for most of the week (most of them are already WFH, but the IT peeps sometimes have to go in).

I'm reading comments that it is a car fire and maybe/hopefully just terrible timing.

The face swapping is just.... .....wow. I mean. This isn't Star Trek people. I just can’t stop laughing at it. Putting aside the issues with an actual face transplant, they have two completely different body types. And Biden can walk and run, while Trump can’t even walk down a ramp. Or drink out of a water bottle. The person who posted that has to be trolling them.

What is happening? Why is this happening?* This should not be happening.
*not an actual question

MSNBC reporting it was a fire at a homeless encampment under a nearby bridge.

I still don't like the timing. During the rehearsal? You see the evacuation plan.

I am concerned about this. Richmond has always been a hot spot for this kind of bs.

In all honesty, I would like more investigation before leaping to conclusions. As I understand it, tours are often given to constituents. And, I would have thought a tour with nefarious purpose would have been more useful a week or more ahead of 'D' Day? To be clear, I'm not saying not to check carefully - but I don't like rush to judgment. Remember the cop that was first maligned for directing the insurrectionists? And then we learned that apparently he was exercising the coolest of minds under fire and executing a strategy to care for those representatives under his protection.

Except we already know that tours were expressly prohibited during the time of the alleged tour.
