Some commentary on Monday’s weather and a few other matters.
The wind chill at the 2009 inauguration for Barack Obama was about 14°F. He, his wife, and young daughters didn’t run inside the Capitol Rotunda, they just wore coats.🤷🏾♂️ pic.twitter.com/8TdfOa98xO

It's not the cold weather Trump's afraid of, it's the pathetic crowd size. There are plenty of hotel rooms still available for the loathsome piece of shit's innauguration. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇 pic.twitter.com/pQ5ecNmv93

In '61, John F. Kennedy was Inaugurated on the Capitol steps, in windchills of 7 degrees. It was almost as cold for Obama in '09.

In fairness, Trump IS more than 3 decades older than JFK & Obama were.
Or did he just fear small crowds? pic.twitter.com/3TFJil3HqF
Epic shade from Tim Walz on Donald Trump moving his inauguration indoors because he can't handle the cold.

Well the great thing about moving Trump’s inauguration to the rotunda is that all of his supporters already know how to get there pic.twitter.com/yjSPBcUJly

Remember - Grifter-in Chief. He sold 220,000 tickets to the inauguration.
However, our office is not aware of any refunds being offered by the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee for expenses incurred for the Inauguration. 5/

Remember too- Republicans who support Trump or his policies or appointments are enemies of Democracy. That is why we must apply Bulwark editor Jonathan Last’s first rule of opposition: “First: Do not help Republicans. Not in any way. On any issue. Republicans can’t pass a budget, or raise the debt ceiling? Tough luck. Do not provide them any bailout votes on any issue. Period, the end.” Write letters saying this to your elected officials and share this on all media, digital, print and social.
Enjoy MLK Day. Remember how great Americans can be.
