The weather is going to be the coldest in DC in 40 years, which coincidentally 40 years ago was the last time an inauguration was held inside.
This is some how a topic of much debate and pearl clutching.
ModPol has some sane takes but some major wingcucks.
Suddenly the people who've been asleep at the wheel the past 4 years are ready to meticulously inspect every daily detail of Trump. Buckle up!
trump gets two scoops of ice cream!
There was also a big deal about the Coca-Cola bottle, ignoring that the Coca-Cola company has been doing that since 2005. GW Bush, Obama, Trump (45), and Biden got customized bottles too.
Since Trump has a personal preference for diet coke, the company filled his custom bottle with diet coke. There were walls of articles and commentary about it, as if this was some sort of huge scandal.
I forget who said it, but someone somewhat high profile said the media is focusing on the wrong things about Trump. They're focusing on tabloid level things rather than serious things. But because both the press and social media spends so much effort on covering tabloid level things there's so much noise that if something serious happens people have long since tuned out.
If the people who've been meticulously inspecting every daily detail of the president the last four years weren't starting a 4 year sabbatical I imagine the new ones would've happily stayed in retirement. This is a silly thing to get outraged about though.
So close but wingcuckery
He's getting clowned by people who paid a fortune to see him outside. Now they won't see him at all and are justifiably pissed about their wasted money.
Do you have any examples of that from republicans? All the clowning seems to be coming from democrats. Are you saying there are democrats who paid a fortune to see him and are pissed they wasted their money?
Do you have examples of democrats clowning him?

Is this your first time on Reddit?
That's not an answer.
I gave you evidence. You've refused to do the same

You edited your comment and added some I see. Here you go, I assume the democrat vp candidate counts.

Also "MAGAers?" what a fricking r-slurred phrase.
Also by the way Waltz had his own inauguration indoors.
Politics of Course has to way in. Which is mindnumbling r-slurred.
He's not afraid of the cold, he's afraid of the crowd size. Imagine how few people were going to show up on a good day, then imagine how much smaller that crowd would be with weather in the teens. He's protecting his fragile ego, not his bone-spur-ravaged body.
This… when Kamala joined the race, I asked my Senators and congressman for tickets to the inauguration. About a month ago I received confirmation that tickets had been allocated for me, and I needed to confirm that I still wanted them. Which, I ignored, because I didn't want them. Last week, I received another email telling me that although I missed the confirmation deadline, they still had tickets and wanted to know if I wanted any.
I think they are struggling to fill the seats…
Get the tickets and don't go. Wasn't that a thing right after the election?
Stop the cap. 18 is fricking cold lmao
Where tf is 18 too cold to be outside a few hours? Arizona?
Gonna be below zero with the wind chill. Let's see YOU go stand out there for a couple hours. I do it every day regardless of the weather. It sucks when it's that cold.
I'm from the north so that's not a problem. But honestly it's probably for the best for it to be inside the capital. Trump supporters are really good at getting inside there anyway.
Okay. That's hilarious. Well played.
No it's not....Monday will be 25°F with 10-20mph winds so the "feels like" temp is 10-15°F. And with good winter clothes that's nothing. Still cold but there's no way windchill temp will be below zero.
don't think you understand the difference between wind and gusts.
on top of that, I expect it to be colder than the temperatures you said that I assume you got from a weather app or TWC or whatever. most apps forecast too high bias for arctic blasts, ECMWF, GEM, GDPS, EPS, CMCE, NAM and GFS models are all saying it'll be much colder.
It was 17° during Obama's.
What a snowflake.
Edit: correcting my memory - it was a low of 19°
3 days earlier, it was 8°
https://www.extremeweatherwatch.com/cities/washington-dc/year-2009
Bone spurs is the worst kind of crybaby snowflake.
Per Weather.gov, it was 28 degrees F for Obama's first inauguration, described as, "Filtered sun through the thin cirrus clouds. Breezy with northwest winds around 15 mph, gusting 20-25 mph. Wind chill values in the mid teens."
Probably where the 17 degrees is coming from.
Meanwhile, from Weather.com "The 2025 Inauguration will be ... sunny, with wind chills in the lower teens or single digits and winds gusting up to 35 mph in the afternoon. During the ceremony, the temperature will hover in the 20s."
The exact numbers may be incorrect, but it's not a bad comparison.
As I recall, it was 17° that morning.
https://www.weather.gov/lwx/events_Inauguration said it was 28F during Obama's first inauguration.
What was the low that day?
I remember it to be 17°.
I could be wrong.
This guy thinks the low of the day is relevant?
The thread is mainly boring wingcuckery but this important enough that arrr politics needs to talk about it twice
Wait until all his supporters at the rally are left stranded for hours and freeze.
It's almost like that's happened before!
I bet most of them won't even think to use the Subway. Despite the fact that the DC Metro is one of the best in the country, is fast, clean, Has connections to both nearby airports and can effectively move 150,000 passengers per hour, i'm sure many MAGAs are so afraid of the idea of public transit that they would rather sit for 4-6 hours in traffic trying To leave. Or even worse, wait for rideshare.
Plenty of people do that in SF too. Tons of people would rather be in traffic in their car than on public transport.
Yall are really clutching at straws aren't you lol. I have no skin in the game, but it's hilarious how stupid both sides can sound sometimes.
This never happened, he was 30 minutes late for a rally in 50 degree weather.
MTG about to claim Democrats set DC's thermostat low on purpose
Can we get an ice storm scheduled, too, president Biden?
You know the Quidiots are going to blame "the liberal Jew weather modification space lasers" for this
He'll say it was a sunny day - the nicest, warmest day ever. You've never seen such a beautiful day. He heard people saying it was the best day ever.
He'll probably in the same conversation say it was the sunniest warmest day, while at the same time use the weather as an excuse for something else.
Hopefully he'll do a William Henry Harrison.
He'd be a kitty if he didn't. Only a cuck wouldn't give the longest inaugural speech ever.
Hopefully he'll do a William Henry Harrison.
This people have never actually talked to a conservative.
Only because of the secret democrats controlled weather machine!
Honestly, the whole statement is so stupid. If we had weather machines and space lasers, Mar-a-lago would look like Independence Day meets Sharknado 365 days a year.
He will still claim two million attended.
Oh, I'm sure he will claim they were outside in the cold. But, Mr. Trump, I thought you were having this inside to protect all your fans from the winter chill.
Maybe credible threats of an attack on the outdoor venue?
Attack of the Snow! Close the sky border now frozen water is invading!
No one seems to be considering maybe shit scared of an assassination attempt.
Literally everyone in secret service would be there. He's just scared of the cold.

I wanna see Peach, Toad, and Donkey Kong representing the common folk with Bowser and Wario cracking their knuckles in anticipation in the background waiting for the billionaire bros to run to their rocket ships.
Lmao. I have coworkers who are obsessed with him, took time off work next week, bought plane tickets, and intend to travel from CO to DC to watch.
Get fricked fascists. Hope you don't get refunds.
Delusional
MarkMyWords is delusional as ever
He's moving his inauguration indoors because he doesn't want photos and videos of the minuscule crowd size.
I wonder if it is also related to security issues. Do Capitol police really want to protect this guy?
It's definitely a security issue, and I bet he's the one who requested the change. He's already had two attempts on his life as a candidate [by Republicans, no less], so a massive crowd, outside, filled with his nutjob supporters, and those who don't support him, is exactly what he'd want to avoid.
Yea 2 republicans tried to off him already… and this crowd will be filled with republicans… so definitely. Risk.
??? 2 republicans? The crazy hippy who wanted to shoot him over Ukraine war was a Republican now? You guys just love making shit up.
I thought it was because it will be easier to deal with a pants-pooping emergency indoors
While we would consider pants-pooping as an emergency, Donald Trump sees it as a mild inconvenience.
These people are obsessed with shit and piss.
AdviceAnimals appears to still get the Kamala Kash
Just storm the venue. Trump will tell you he loves you.
You're very special people. They said sir, sir, they're storming. They're storming the venue. Do you wanna know about storming? We had hurricanes, those are storms with tremendous wetness in terms of- and I told them- what if we launched nuclear? And that could sort of disrupt- but there are so-called science people that say sir, no you can't so when it comes to venues, we have some of the most beautiful venues
According to reddit 'this isn't inciting violence'
Too many Luigi's outdoors
"Too Many Luigis" sounds like a fantastic idea for a children's book!
Too Few Luigi's" is the prequel?
Reddit is really ok with terrorism
I bet it's because of security concerns.
Small crowd to begin with. It's a convenient cover-up for the excuse and lies that he'll put out soon.
Right? We will be hearing about the "hundreds of thousands of people" waiting outside because they wouldn't let them in. lol. Sad really
Yeah i was also hoping for another attempt by a much more talented marksman.
It's neat to see maga cry when the left acts like maga.....
It's because y'all know the left is morally superior so anytime there's a slight poke of fun, y'all like "omg so much for being loving" lol
24 degrees is so cold, real men don't like the cold
Morally superior? You mean the people upset that Florida made it a felony for a teacher or librarian to give porn to children?
I love the fact that Walz embodies all the masculine traits that conservatives wish they had. And he manages to do it without being a sexist or bigot.](https://old.reddit.com/r/minnesota/comments/1i3mcx0/governor_tim_walz_theres_no_such_thing_as_bad/m7qwsf9/?context=8)
As a country, we're really gonna be kicking ourselves for not giving him and Harris a chance
No truly masculine person believes that.
Walz is masculine? 
Now THAT'S a man of the people. As kids, my friends and I would sit in a fresh snow bank because it's comfy once you nestle in. Try it sometime.
AND insulating from the air being a real temperature compared to just ice lol
We could've had it all. I loved how frank he was on the campaign trail, and how much it upset Republicans. They couldn't stand being called with they were, weird and Skippy dipshits.
Are you living in reality? Walz was the weird one. Prancing around and skipping on stage with zest
I'm not American so can only provide an outside view and Walz was great - sincere, capable and honest. It speaks volumes about the people that preferred Musk, Vance and Trump.
The answer to that guy's question is "no, I don't live in reality" Walz was capable?
Walz is a real man - Trump - scientists are still trying to figure out his species
The species is "Minnesotan". It got up to 33° yesterday and I passed at least 3 cyclists on my 10min commute to work.
Yesterday was great. I took my dog out to potty in shorts, a tank, and sandles. Lol
This is classic toxic masculinity. Not what a "real man" does.
Walz is the opposite of any form of masculinity. He's the one who started the 'Weird' line of attack and acted like a catty mean girl.
If it's cold you go inside, why the frick does this matter?!
I like Tim Walz but this is beyond stupid. Telling people to challenge the weather is how you kill people. It's equally dumb when people say to work through the heat or wait out the hurricane.
OH MY GOD HE IS SO BADASSSSS!!!
Turnout is a funny thing for the election loser to criticize.

To prove how much of a tough leader he was, William Henry Harrison gave a massively long inauguration speech in the freezing rain
He died of pneumonia like 4 days later
It's going to 3 degrees there with wind chill. Trump is like 80. Yea I'd do it indoors too. Libs only care because they wanted to make fun of his crowd size
