Grampy doesn’t like to be chilly.

knyteranger.bsky.social•45 days ago

... so the "man" that runs away from a rainstorm in France is afraid of the cold too ... it tracks ... fucking weak-ass dipshit ...

ksp-pt.bsky.social•45 days ago

What a fucking wuss!!!! Can’t believe this imbecile was elected again!!!! I’m going to crawl under a rock right now!!

blondegirllife.bsky.social•45 days ago

And he’ll still keep the $170,000,000 the billionaires boy’s club gave him for the inauguration.

blm8688.bsky.social•45 days ago

And in the 20s for JFK, also. I'm old enough to remember that.

Have you seen Governor Walz response? 🎤🫳

dvdrbnsn.bsky.social•45 days ago

There are plenty of hotel rooms still available.

Ginni Thomas must not be bussing them in.

Snowflakes

excannbiz.bsky.social•45 days ago

True. And now he can say that there were millions that wanted in the rotunda, but weren't allowed inside. He's such a wimp.

geekegirl.bsky.social•45 days ago

The outdoor crowds will still be there. I'm sure there will be screens.

DC and the surrounding areas are very blue. The only way to get a big crowd is to pull folks from far away.

I'm sure DC has a good idea of what the crowd will be based on hotel bookings.

silvermercury.bsky.social•45 days ago

Booking are low - 70%. They were 97% for Obama’s first inauguration.

suffernofools123.bsky.social•45 days ago

he’s a puss and is afraid his combover would get blown around

thebatshitsutras.bsky.social•45 days ago

We know how obsessed he is with ratings. Let's make it the lowest ever. Turn it all off for 24 hours. Let his tiny, sad little inauguration pass unacknowledged like a squeaky elevator fart.

lorawithano.bsky.social•45 days ago

Your handle got you a follow

tomshafshafer.bsky.social•45 days ago

So, all the parade units will march past an empty reviewing stand? Very symbolic of the next four years!

silvermercury.bsky.social•45 days ago

Rooms in DC are only 70% occupied for Sunday night and even lower for Monday night. They were 97% occupied the Friday before Obama’s first inauguration. This is all about minimizing being embarrassed AGAIN.

tardisneyland.bsky.social•45 days ago

I was there on the Mall in 2009. I was cold, but I lived 🥶🇺🇸

karmel-dahl.bsky.social•45 days ago

Yep, and we were happy to freeze that day!

debgen.bsky.social•45 days ago

It doesn’t matter as I won’t watch it.

kathykastenholz.bsky.social•45 days ago

Yep. It’s all about crowd size.

indiekater.bsky.social•45 days ago

Shrinkage from cold can only explain away so much.

marieinsedona.bsky.social•45 days ago

💯

pascalharlow.bsky.social•45 days ago

Just one stray fighter or bomber pilot. Just one dropped on target. A new day appears.

cabfranc.bsky.social•45 days ago

Hell freezing over.

thatmanglenn.bsky.social•45 days ago

I’m going with money laundering.

thatdale.bsky.social•45 days ago

Parade in an arena? That tracks: epistemic closure, going in circles.

southpawjc.bsky.social•45 days ago

Wonder how many paid actors will be there for Trump.

thieler.bsky.social•45 days ago

Isn’t it like million bucks to attend? Nothing says blue collar like that does haha

deano60.bsky.social•44 days ago

Is this the same guy who plans a “rally” the day before inauguration? They inside too?

ankhraven.bsky.social•44 days ago

We'll probably find out he wanted to move to Mar a Lago

b0ltme.bsky.social•43 days ago

Crowd estimate small, people aren't going to drive hours or fly to get somewhere and stand in frostbite level cold. Plus what happens to all those donations? It's not really a campaign contribution, so what regulations apply? Probably none. Probably all net gain for him.

scenicdecay.bsky.social•45 days ago

He’s worried about the 35 mph wind gusts overcoming his load bearing combover.

kenyoungblood.bsky.social•45 days ago

I'd wager a guess the reason is there's a credible threat being out in the open.

miriamlikespie.bsky.social•45 days ago

How come he NEVER talks about the shooter in Pennsylvania?
We never heard a word about it or got a doctors report on his gunshot wound. Oh right, he was never shot.

floydsmom2.bsky.social•45 days ago

brandnewdaycoming.bsky.social•45 days ago

Same low temps for Obama, Carter, Kennedy (plus a lot of snow) and Roosevelt. It's about crowd size.

andreataz4ever.bsky.social•45 days ago

atmosphericriver.bsky.social•45 days ago

Since winter storm Demi (aka Dark Brandon) is forcing Turd Pumpkin’s inauguration indoors. I’m sure Turd will call it proof that climate change is a hoax. I like to call it an act of God!
