Mother Nature Set To Crap On Trump's Inauguration
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
- "It's going to be very cold out there for any folks attending the inauguration," Eric Taylor, a forecaster for the National Weather Service in Sterling, Virginia, told Axios.
Air temperatures during the day on Monday are expected to be in the low- to mid-20s, Taylor said.
- Wind chill factors by about noon will be between 12ºF and 14ºF.

Maybe the mob will enter the Capitol Building to get warm.
Good day for the whiner protesters to break out their pussy hats
Contrary to protocol they're flying the flags at top mast, but I guess God doesn't suck up to Trump's requirements. That could be a surprise to a lot of Americans.
It doesn’t matter how cold it will be, it will be the largest attendance for an inauguration in history, probably millions will show up, it will be yuge, really yuge.
Then they can huddle together and share their body heat
Puke
Marjorie Taylor Greene has a plan for changing the weather using Jewish Space Lasers.
Trump thinks he can command the weather to change and it will.
He doesn't have that authority. The only person who ever had that authority was my dear, sweet grandmother who prayed for rain and got floods
LOL, being an expert in Rain Dances tell granny it’s not a jig but a two step when you want moderate rain.
LOL! Too bad she didn't know that at the time
You seem to be gloating those public servants (police, fire, rescue etc) and military service members will be standing for hours in the bitterly cold weather - simply because they recognize their responsibility to do their jobs.
The fact that the flags will not remain at "half mast" as tradition requires for the mourning period of a former president is the real tragedy.
I think its appropriate karma that Trumps ascension day will be bleak.
Of course you do, I would expect nothing less
Your choice of the word "ascension" is interesting in a Freudian sense
More like the religious sense. Many of his followers attribute God like and Jesus like qualities to him. Ascension can be a religious term.
So you are also looking at his inauguration as an ascension - interesting.
LOL!
I bet his cult looks at it like that! I might just watch to see if I can catch exulted and rapturous expressions on the cult's faces
I don;t think John is doing that. I know I'm not. I've had to stand at attention on a flight line in the hot Texas sun for a Change of Command ceremony. It was awful. I feel for the public servants. At least they know how to dress properly.
As far as the half-staff flag...it is a tragedy and pisses me off. Sarah Sanders followed DeSantis when the governor's office announced this morning that the flag would be full staff on Monday
The idea that I would be happy that people will be REQUIRED to be out in the weather for the inauguration is just ridiculous. But it is not uncommon at all for police and the military to be "out in the weather".
The day will be dreary on Monday, which will be an appropriate foretelling of the next four years.
No one but Trump would publicly notice the flag was at half staff . What other president would such a circumstance have bothered? None. Trump is a big baby. One day he will say "jump"! and half the country will say "how high".
And the other half will yell fuck you!
So did Abott in TX.
It will be interesting to see how the local bases and federal properties react.
If they are federal property do they have to adhere to a Governor's proclamation?
Likely not .
As someone pointed out , there is a federal law dictating the flying of the nations flag at half staff /mast . it was signed by Ike back in the 50s , but it is a law without penalty or punishment for not doing so , at least the law doesnt mention one .
And considering there is no penalty or punishment , i wonder , how many here would admonish me for flying my personal national flag at half mast, on my property , with no presidential , gubernatorial or legislative order to do so for a week when my father passed? Or would there be some sense of understanding?
I would have no problems with it. In my eyes you were honoring your father.
I will likely do it again when my mother passes as well.
i did catch some flack from a couple people when i did it for my dad , but once explained it was understood . the one that touched me was an old WW2 vet , he wasnt too happy at first and thought what i did was wrong , but after sitting down and explaining what was going on and why i was doing it , he went home and lowered his as well, he never met my dad , but he knew me . showed me i wasnt alone when i felt at my loneliest.
I think that is honorable and shows respect for your mother. Let's hope she has many more years
What other president faced inauguration during a time of mourning for a previous........well anything??
To be fair, it's only been a practice since 1954, Ike started the tradition.
Every Vice President who took the oath of office when their predecessor died in office?
You have been around for quite a few presidents and their inauguration. Which ones of those do you say would have been upset and complained about it if the flags were at half staff on the day they took office?
That comment shows a lack of knowledge, it wasn't a practice until 50's so your comment is wrong on it's face. and the only President to die in office after it became a practice was Kennedy, and the Flags were not at half staff at Love field, so an absolute failure of a comment.
We will never know now, will we............. Don't remember any nor the same circumstances.
This question has been asked and answered. But I will go look it up because that is what I do
Nixon was re-elected in November 1972. His inauguration would have been Jan 20, 1973. I doubt if even Nixon was that petty to insist the flag fly full staff
From their observed behavior, which other president (s) do you think would have publicly complained that flags were at half staff on the day of their inauguration?
6.2.15
I think we can observe previous presidents and reasonably conclude that none of them would have thrown a fit about the flag being at half staff.
If it helps you cope, sure why not.
flag appears at full mast for Nixons inauguration after Truman’s death.
Did Nixon throw a fit about it and caused them to change the position of the flag? I dont remember hearing anything like that, probably because in those days no one gave a crap. Trump is a big baby, just admit it and we can move on.
What an ignorant question, who ordered the flags at half-mast when Truman died? that may answer that question for you.
Flags had also been at half-staff when Nixon was sworn in for his second term in January 1973, due to Nixon having ordered them lowered after the death of former President Harry S. Truman.
Why are US flags being flown at half-staff on Inauguration Day? | AP News
I'm not answering such a stupid question.
Then why would you ask such a stupid question of Sean in the first place? why would Nixon whine about his own order?
I'm not sure the flag in Seans photo is at full staff.
It looks like it to me. Looking again at the photo I can't be 100% sure.
I enlarged the photo. It appears to me that the flag pole extends above the top of the flag itself, but it wasnt conclusive .
Surely you aren't going to ignore Truman and Nixon are you? (another question)
The practice started in the 17th century and was widely adhered to, President Eisenhower, in an attempt to unify the many variants just decided to write his own rules in March of 1954 by Proclamation 3044. Ike was very interested in flags and how they were used.
Later in 1959 he modified the Proclamation by Executive Order 10834.
Who gives a fluck about Love Field? Or what "rules" Texans ignore? Before JFK's body was cold, the flag
flying over the Senate was slowly lowered to half-mast at the Capitol on 11/22/1963.
It was then flown at half mast until 12/22/1963.
Kennedy was shot at 12:30PM CST and declared dead about 20 minutes later.
By 2:38 CST Johnson had been spirited to Love Field by Dallas PD hiding in an unmarked car,
to board Air Force One and take the oath of office.
I remember many people objecting to returning the flag to full staff and wanting to continue flying the half mast position. I don't remember anyone insulting them or threatening them with arrest.
Pathetic comment that steals from another poster, another absolute failure, as Truman was not Nixons VP. Your claim was every VP that took over for a president who died in office which was and still is a fact free comment. And Love field is where Johnson was inaugurated without any flags at half staff.
The governor of Texas was a democrat so one could understand why you would feel that way,
Did anyone say he was?
The claim was that other inaugurations have occurred when the flag was at half mast.
Bully for you. The inauguration was on Air Force One, an airplane, no flags in evidence.
By the time Johnson arrived in D.C. all of the appropriate flags were at half mast.
I live in Texas and many of my neighbors are still proud "we" killed Kennedy, lol.
Why do you bother?
[✘] But to answer your question, completely ignorant comments like you made need to be challenged.
This forecast proves that even the moronic left can be right once in a great while, with those temperatures in DC, it will be a cold day in hell when trump becomes President again.
By George, I think you've got it on that one
Oh well, they moved it indoors. Que the outrage by some one the left.
Trump announced that there were 350,000,000 people at his swearing in on the 20th.
It’s true you can count the people if you doubt Trump.
There will be 350 there this time. He's taking it inside because he's afraid of the cold.
I don't like the cold. Sorry but this is one decision he made that I think is actually a good one. It would be awful if people died of hypothermia at his inauguration
Knowing Trump, he's more afraid of there being vast empty spaces where the audience was supposed to be, not about anyone dying.
He had a couple outside rallies in Arizona where the temperature was over 100 degrees and people were dropping from heat exhaustion. Didnt cancel them.
Oh I know he doesn't care about people dying. It was just a comment
People were practically naked or in bathing suits.
Who wants to watch anyone bundled from head to toe get frostbite?
The Bears won the Superbowl in 1986. A couple days later they had a downtown parade and a rally in the plaza outside city hall. It was 5 below zero during the parade and there were hundreds of thousands of people there, including me. When you're happy you dont feel that cold.
It is going to be 20 degrees at noon on Monday in DC.
This is a similar temperature that occurs at football games in December and January across the northern parts of the country and hundreds of thousands show up for those games, which last a lot longer than an inauguration.
The idea that people will be passing out from frostbite is a little far fetched.
Wait. What? Is he importing people from other countries?
It seems rather fitting. The weather craps on Trump's inauguration just before Trump's craps on the country.
Morning...
If it helps at all we can send him over one of these..
An outdoor dunny...handy for all occasions no matter if it's hot or cold...
Glad it's not my photo..you could smell the old thunder box from here..
