Make sure you have your popcorn ready. I, for one, cannot wait for all of this to be over. ---

But you didn’t say who is going to be inaugurated! Unfortunately I have a very bad feeling that it’s going to be Donald Trump. ---

Hence the popcorn, regardless of who it is. ---

I would love to see a huge crowd form up on Jan-6-2025, right about to surge into the Capitol, and with thousands of riot police bracing for the fight - they suddenly slink away, “Teeehheee, jk.” ---

This isn’t a gameshow I can change the channel on, so no popcorn for me. The real game doesn’t start until the Inauguration is complete, and a lot of us don’t have the luxury of sitting it out. ---

I am looking forward to Election day, so I can watch Steve Kornacki. Definitely popcorn.🍿 ---

I don’t know if it was fake, or did Biden really say “Trump wasn’t at my last inauguration, which is ok, and I bet he won’t be at my next inauguration either.” ---
