Concerned about election unrest, Beverly Hills will close Rodeo Drive

Santa Monica Police chief stepping down amid anger over protests

This morning I researched Christmas Past, at least as it pertains to our presidential elections. I've always had a fascination with the decade prior to my birth so I viewed a YouTube video of the November 1960 election returns of John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon. CBS NEWS with anchor Walter Cronkite broadcasted results as they came-in, helped by a revolutionary transistor-powered IBM 7090 computer half the size of a room. It was still an era of B&W television with wholesome two-parent families and well-behaved children, huddled in their living rooms in front of a vacuum-tube magic box.

While I don't imagine that we as a society will ever return to that naive and idealistic "Camelot" Kennedy vision of America, neither did I think that our November elections would include a para-military ramp-up by police and (possibly) national guard. In Santa Monica (Ca.) Cynthia Renard, a PTA woman heretofore promoted from her bake sale duties to those impersonating a police chief, was unceremoniously dumped in-favor of someone who more resembles a macho, commando style Florida sheriff. Beware looters who try to rob an athletic store for Nike shoes or Dodger World Series memorabilia. Over in Beverly Hills an entire battalion of troops are preparing to cordon off a large perimeter of high-end stores on Rodeo Drive, reinforced by rotorcraft air power and cutting-edge EM 50 Urban Assault Vehicles. Los Angeles County Sheriff personnel have taken Advanced Officer Tactical Training Courses in how to fire rubber bullets with compassion.

All in advance of next Tuesday's elections.

I am getting concerned that there may be episodes of violence that may get out of hand. Tragic!

I'm expecting it to happen. So are the Cops, and so are many of the shopkeepers that I know in my neighborhood. They are preparing to board-up their windows and doors, once again.

:(

How Police, National Guard And Military Are Preparing For Election Day Tensions

The National Guard in some states will be in street clothes near specific polling locations, monitoring for any interference or violence. Upon hearing a code word like Rosebud texted on their cell phones, they will dart into a nearby restroom (there aren't any phone booths today) and change into their uniforms. We live in a chaotic time in America.

Should Biden win, and if the Republican Party actually cared about the survival of this country, they would already be preparing for the immediate enactment of the 25th amendment to remove Trump, along with handing him over to law enforcement for his numerous crimes. No lame duck session allowed. No chance for pardon. Man-baby is going to have an unprecedented raging tantrum if he loses and will attempt to destroy the country and everyone and everything before he leaves. If there is destruction, better him than the country. To that end, If Pence is a Christian in more than name only, he will do the right thing. It may be the one good thing he will do in his life.

Trump by his actions may give Republicans no choice but to take swift action if Trump goes off the deep end into a state where he truly can not tell reality from fantasy.

I've read so many articles from many people with educations and/or experience dealing with the mentally ill that I have concluded that Trump has multiple mental, and emotional issues.

Toward the end of WWII Hitler finally realized that Germany was going to lose the war. Hitler would accept the blame himself so he blamed Germany and ordered the total destruction of Germany.

The war ended soon after that. I have a fear that Trump may react in the same way if the results show that he lost, particularly if Biden wins in a landslide.

25A? That simply regulates the order of succession should the office of the presidency become extraordinarily vacant. The President either has to die, become incapacitated, or be removed from office for 25A to become relevant. Electing an alternative to the incumbent for the next term satisfies none of those. November elections never entail immediate removal from office of the incumbent. Biden being elected wouldn't mean that the President would be discharged from bringing the 2017-2021 term to completion.
