The person who is second in command will move into leadership until the President can appoint a new AG. I would not worry about the National Guard not being able to preform their duty and carry out their mission.

Maj. Gen. was 65 years old and was serving at the pleasure of the President. 65 is a little long in the tooth for the military. I am sure he knew he would have to retire with the President.

Look into John Lilly of dolphin research fame, Gregory Bateson's "An Epistemology of Mind", etc

Nice Jason... and welcome...

Trump's inauguration might just be the one with the most number of negative firsts.

You mean like, President GoldenShowers' current negative rating of 51 percent?

Now that's one hell of mandate.

I will get back to you about this. I would not have chosen the "float" treatment. I know I need to bring some ear-plugs so the water won't drift into my ears and take my mind off of everything except my EARS!!!!! The reason I like headspace is because it is "guided meditation" and I never could do it by myself. I would constantly be saying to myself, "OK Relax! STOP THINKING! My foot itches! STOP THINKING! Relax! Push thoughts away! NO! You just can't do this!"

With headspace, the guy calmly helps you through it. Probably not for everyone, but I like it.

But I will report back on the floating thingy.

Sounds like an interesting space to ... well ... use your head. I'd never considered meditation as something that could be improved upon with technology, an app and some headphones, but I'm not the coolest kid in the bunch. I didn't even know about floating in hypersalinated water! Is swimming/floating in salty bodies of water (I recommend ones with big waves) comparable? ;-)

And Jason - thanks for this. Welcome to a sometimes crazy but always interesting spot named Dagblog!

True! I have a gift certificate for an hour's "floating" in hypersalinated water. That might be a good alternative, although I would have to take off my T-Shirt!

Actually, I think meditation would be a good use of that hour for all of us. May I recommend Headspace.com? I have no interest in it unlike dt and LLBean. Too bad for them that they got muddied by the genetic winner of the family name.

Head of D.C. National Guard to be removed from post in middle of inauguration

The U.S. Army general who heads the D.C. National Guard and is an integral part of overseeing the inauguration said Friday he has been ordered removed from command effective Jan. 20, 12:01 p.m., just as Donald Trump is sworn in as president.

Maj. Gen. Errol R. Schwartz’s departure will come in the midst of the presidential ceremony, classified as a national special security event — and while thousands of his troops are deployed to help protect the nation’s capital ....

Gen. Schwartz was appointed by GW Bush and is black.

Who will be put in charge of the DC National Guard?

There are protests planned....I am sure Trump and his supporters would love to see people beat up on the streets, he encouraged violence at his rallies.....and then there is the womens march the next day....

The nice thing about internet times is that if some major snafu or embarrassment happens, there will be gifs and videos of it in short order. You can let others prewatch it for you!

My gray t-shirt says "Not my President"

I have t-shirts that say "Don't Blame Me, I voted for Hillary"

"Don't Blame me, I voted for Clinton" shirts are on sale at the Baltimore-Washington International airport.

BTW Brotman will do the color commentary on the inauguration for channel 4 in D.C.

My son is going with the plan of turning his back on the "event,". However he is passionate like his mother, and I am worried that his deep-throated "BOOOOOOOO!!!!!" may get him arrested (or injured.

I want to not watch it, but I don't want to miss any major snafus or embarrassment. I'm still hoping that something happens and Hillary will be rushed up to the bible and get inaugurated LOL. LOL!

One thing donald trump doesn't realize is that you can't buy class.

Edit to add: I do plan to wear all black that day, including my new black T-Shirt that says;
