You know me, I'm not the one to spread rumors, but...

would the leader of a movement who believes there should be more signs of masculinity in America agree to hold the inauguration indoors because of a little blizzard?

too coddled to deal with winter. Same for his VP who is still not sure yet who he is.

Any bets that the two cowards call off the presidential parade?

I pity the people who are attending. Indoors. They will be exposed to the FIC's stench. Outdoors, the wind would have dissipated it. That stench might be more harmful to people's health than the cold weather.

He's terrified his baldness and difference in skin tone will get exposed. For such a fugly asshole with no handsome qualities in his entire being, only hate and evil is a supperating wound on the American public and even the world. He would kill us all for his own glory and power from pooty.

Now subzero with wind, I am not so happy either, but really... what a wimp. LOL

The temperature at noon that day was 7 degrees. According to the National Weather Service the weather was Sunny, but bitter cold. Wind chill temperatures fell into the -10° to -20°F range in the afternoon. Reagan's inauguration was also moved inside the Capitol, the last one to do so until this year.

I honestly believe Trump is afraid of getting sick if it is outdoors (he's already clearly in poor health) - catching pneumonia would probably kill him.

He's also afraid of the bad optics of really small crowds because of the cold weather (they were already going to be small crowds - lots of empty hotel rooms available - but the weather will knock the crowds down even more significantly.)

genitalia as synonyms for cowardice??? It does NOT matter that the term was widely used when you were growing up. It was sexist and offensive then, and even more so now that most people know better. Your pre-emptive excuse is just that, an excuse for using a sexist slur.

From wiki:

A major winter storm occurred the day before the inauguration, with temperatures at 20 °F (minus 7 °C) and snowfall at 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) per hour and a total of 8 inches (20 cm) during the night, causing transportation and logistical problems in Washington and serious concern for the inauguration.

Kennedy did not wear an overcoat when taking the oath of office and delivering the inaugural address, despite the cold conditions of 22 °F (minus 6 °C) with windchill at 7 °F (minus 14 °C) at noon.

A panelist on the Roland Martin Unfiltered show called this latest election and "masculinity" mania by the right, " target="_blank">"The Empire Strikes Back for lame dudes."
These guys don't have "game"; they're the same socially awkward dweebs they were in high school. Now that they have money, they want to deny women, who can get their own money the freedom to be able to choose who they want to hook up with (which wasn't them).
By eliminating their freedom and their autonomy, they want to force them to choose out of dependence and desperation.
"Masculinity" is like "being cool"; if you have to declare yourself as such, then you 'ain't.
And the criteria is always changing:


And for those who are easily triggered by women doing their thing like "Zucky":

Some of his donors paid a million and they're still going to be watching through the Duped-a-tron.

They obviously expected something in return for those donation dollars, so we're going to see a lot of infighting in the next four years, as Trump realizes he can't please everyone.

But, sadly, he will probably distract them with more abuses to the blue states.
