Loving the humanity of honouring those that have perished and suffered due to C19. It’s a brilliant idea and naturally it comes from the Biden brain trust.

So if Trump is still in the WH on 01/19/21 can we gather groups of hand bell ringers to serenade him at 5 AM? A Noreiga maneuver with some brass b-lls.

How did they get permission to use that land before Biden took office? Can someone explain the law to me?

It would undoubtedly be done virtually. Maybe something like how Dems put on their convention. That worked well but how it work outdoors is a good question.

Anybody or any organization can hold large scale rallies if they give the DC govt an application and enough notice. The Feds just rubber stamp local decisions in most cases.
