Without explanation and just a week before inauguration, President Obama has suddenly announced he is removing the Major General in charge of the DC National Guard who helped plan and was set to oversee event security that day, effective right in the middle of the ceremony the very minute after Donald Trump is sworn in as president.
The termination is unprecedented and out of decorum with such a high state function taking place, raising serious concerns about the vulnerabilities and gaps in security on such an important day. Not saying that anything is going to happen, but it's hard not to notice and raise questions when the scenario is being made plausible.

Sloppy post, but the usefulness of this thread is an even larger question.

Give me a break, will ya.
You're crying into your milk about Hilary? Bless. Thank fuck she's gone, I say. A worse nightmare of imminent destruction I could not imagine than having her finger on the nuclear trigger.
The view you articulate seem to be that of a make-believe phantasmagoria world favoured by Walt Disney. The only advantage of such a false construct is that it allows simple people to simply avoid reflecting upon (and accepting responsibility for) the destruction and blood-letting that would've result from the continuation of the American Project to, er... Project the American Shadow in perpetual warfare thousands of miles away from home. That way the millions of deaths of "non-people" since 9/11 never really happened and never really were reported and so can be happily ignored - and therefore do not count interfere with righteous living of those at home.
God Bless America!
Just remember that it was in America that you were presented with the stark choice between a neoliberal future and a fascist future. There's no one to blame but yourselves for decades of shirking responsibility for the subversion of your political class and the shredding of your Constitution and other protections.
It happened on your watch.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
