Please add to list?
Some are wondering whether he was sworn in in secret also because Justice Thomas was not at the Biden event, plus the sudden quick evacuation of SCOTUS that day, too quickly resolved to have been a real bomb threat, odd that a bomb threat was even considered with a city locked down for days.
Right. If there was a REAL bomb threat i have to say im concerned about our militarys opsec at any given moment. How do 30k troops not know about a possible bomb threat in scotus building after having been there for what a week at that point? To me thats more illogical than scotus being evacuated for specific reasons using that as a cover.
