Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area

This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.

Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.

Rules for General Chat

  • Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.

  • Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.

  • Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome

  • Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment

  • Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.

  • Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)

  • If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.

  • Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving

In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Reading a few posts this morning has me thinking... I think most of us expect something to happen over the next few days. While there is talk the deep state can fight back after Trump's inauguration, their biggest leverage is disrupting the transfer of power. I don't remember who said to but someone recently stated, No threats on the radar for the inauguration, everything is looking great. Which is a red flag right there. Then, there was Jake Sullivan with this final statement at a recent press conference that just sounds like he knows something...

This morning we saw the ceremony is being moved into the Capitol because of the weather. Which we were all glad to hear from a safety standpoint. https://greatawakening.win/p/19A1QKhGjZ/bennyjohnson-breaking-presiden/c/

But this post indicates from the man that predicted Trump getting shot in the ear, that there will be attacks on multiple locations, including the Capitol. https://greatawakening.win/p/19A1QKgilk/-pastor-who-precisely-prophesied/

I'm putting some stock into it since he clearly had a vision of Trump being shot three months in advance of Butler happening. I had already been thinking Trump would do something as to not be outside the Capitol at noon on the 20th. Too much of a target. Maybe a prerecording of teh ceremony like they did with Biden. BUT, now that the inauguration is inside the Capitol, there are two pretty easy set ups to inaugurate him in a safe manner:

  1. Video the inauguration in advance and show that on TV, while Trump get inaugurated right on schedule for real at noon while in some other secure location.
  2. Build a replica of the Capitol to hold the inauguration at live. Probably a much bigger project to do it this way, but also an option.

Either way, Trump isn't at the Capitol when all hell potentially breaks loose.

Just a theory, but I do know if we suspect a problem, Trump's team has thought about it well before we did.

President Joe Biden, 82, “is totally dejected” and the White House feels “like a morgue” with a “glum atmosphere” due to President-elect Donald Trump’s imminent triumphant return, NBC News reported based on people who recently met with officials.

The mood at the White House reflects the state of the Democrat party, which is reeling from a landslide defeat to Trump and Republicans, who control Congress as well.

The shattered party does not appear to know why Trump won or how to prevent further Democrat defeats. It is in the middle of revamping its nine-year-old talking points that claimed without evidence that Trump and Republicans were racist, bigots, and misogynists.

In recent weeks, the bewildered party does not seem equipped to mount a strong resistance to Trump’s cabinet nominees, most of whom appear to be on a glide path to confirmation, although Senate Democrats might try delay tactics, moves that are expected but can be overcome with strong Senate Republican leadership.

NBC News reported on Biden’s mood at the “morgue’:

In the White House, the mood feels “like a morgue,” according to a person who recently met with officials there. Biden leaves office feeling he contributed significant wins for the country that Americans don’t appreciate. Privately, he has vacillated from feeling melancholy to resigned to angry to wistful as he reflects on his legacy, two people close to him said.

“He’s totally dejected and the people around him are, as well,” another person close to the president said. One White House official attributed the glum atmosphere to Trump’s impending return to the Oval Office and noted that Biden’s aides warmly reacted with cheers when he surprised them at a staff party earlier this week.

Another White House official depicted personnel as holding back on emotions until Jan. 20 actually arrives.

“It’s hard to reflect, it’s hard for it to sink in that we’re done here — until we’re actually done and out the gates with our stuff,” the official added. “That’s their mood … it hasn’t sunk in for people who are still here yet because we’re working until the last minute.”

Trump’s return to power is the greatest political comeback in American history. He overcame political opponents who tried to imprison him, bankrupt him, remove him from the ballot, and make him politically irrelevant by introducing a partisan committee to investigate January 6 — and whose inflammatory rhetoric created a ripe environment for two assassination attempts.

President Joe Biden released a statement Friday declaring that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) “has become part of our Constitution.”

Biden asserted that as of 2020, 38 states have ratified the amendment and stated it should now be recognized as “the law of the land,” according to a White House press release. The amendment is meant to ensure equal rights for men and women in the U.S., but some interpretations of the text have implied it would erase gender distinctions and grant abortion protections.

“The American Bar Association (ABA) has recognized that the Equal Rights Amendment has cleared all necessary hurdles to be formally added to the Constitution as the 28th Amendment,” the White House statement reads. “I agree with the ABA and with leading legal constitutional scholars that the Equal Rights Amendment has become part of our Constitution.”

“As Archivist and Deputy Archivist of the United States, it is our responsibility to uphold the integrity of the constitutional amendment process and ensure that changes to the Constitution are carried out in accordance with the law,” Archivist of the United States Dr. Colleen Shogan and Deputy Archivist William J. Bosanko said in a statement in Dec. 2024. “At this time, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) cannot be certified as part of the Constitution due to established legal, judicial, and procedural decisions.”

The National Archives informed the Daily Caller News Foundation that this remains their position and that “the underlying legal and procedural issues have not changed.”

“Equality is a fundamental promise of our democracy,” Vice President Kamala Harris wrote in a statement Friday. “That is why the Equal Rights Amendment belongs in our Constitution. It makes our nation stronger, and it is the law of the land because the American people have spoken in states across our nation.”

The amendment was passed by Congress in 1972 but failed to be ratified by the required three-quarters of states within the seven-year deadline.

Biden’s announcement was released as the president has only two full days remaining in office.

Former Democratic Missouri Rep. Cori Bush and Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley revived the push for the amendment in 2023, stating its necessity due to “Women and LGBTQ folks facing daily sexism, pregnancy discrimination, pay inequity, sexual violence, and persistent legislative attacks on our bodily autonomy.”

The ERA could potentially eliminate single-sex spaces --- such as bathrooms and locker rooms — as it does not define “sex” and could be interpreted to include gender identity.

Biden previously tried to rewrite of Title IX to include protections for “gender identity,” though this rule was ultimately shot down by a federal court in January and later revoked by the administration.

The White House did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.
