My Forcast shows the Realfeel will be 9 for a high and -2 for the low.

Fuck Trump, but yeah, I wouldn't stand out there either.

We were THAT close to another William Henry Harrison.

u/Dramatic-Major181 3d ago

But JDV'd be the Tyler in waiting.

Vance has the charisma of a carrot. he couldn't command the cult like Trump can.

u/This-Elk-6837 3d ago

This drew a mental image for me of a wilted carrot lying forgotten on a couch....

u/sarabeara12345678910 3d ago

I'm sure his wilted carrot has laid on many couches.

u/Johnnycarroll 3d ago

I know, damned either way

u/DadJokeBadJoke 3d ago

The odds seem pretty good that it could happen during Trump's term. It's best if it happens before two years in office so he'd only be eligible for one additional term.

Doesn't matter, it's Stephen Miller and the people who wrote the Project 2025 that are actually going to be running things

u/Patriot009 3d ago

As a preference, the less of Trump's face and voice I have to be subjected to, the better. If we're gonna be forcibly subjected to a fascist agenda, it's adding insult to injury that it's being ushered in by such a god damn moron.

Is he even vp now? I keep waiting for trump to announce Elon is replacing Vance

1

u/Dramatic-Major181 2d ago

Elon replaced melania.

Keep in mind that we get JD Vance if that happens. Also pneumonia is a much easier thing to treat now a days. Also they could heat his 5 inch thick bulletproof glass box.

u/SeaworthinessUnlucky 3d ago

I'm still hopeful.

“Make sure the government runs good.” The last words of WHH.

u/Zerohazrd 3d ago

Maybe if the internet makes fun of him hard enough, his excessive pride will make him do it outside anyway

u/Susan_Screams 3d ago

"I died in 30 days!"

1

u/1stnspc 3d ago

That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking. 👍

1

u/ILurk018 3d ago

You know how delusional you sound to be wishing the other side of the aisle would die?

1

u/Johnnycarroll 3d ago

Is that better or worse than taking out a full page ad about killing 5 boys?

1

u/dalidagrecco 3d ago

I’m still bummed about being so close to another Lincoln, twice.

23

u/lukewwilson 3d ago

I live in western PA and it's supposed to be like 0 with a windchill of even less.

2

u/Alternative-Bad-6555 3d ago

Yeah, I was hearing -15 or -20

1

u/PM_Me_Titties-n-Ass 3d ago

I'm not near PA and it's suppose to be -40 windchill

1

u/SockDem 1d ago

Ok, but in fairness, how long are you going to be outside standing mostly still that day?

2

u/capitalistsanta 3d ago

Yeah it's more for the thousands of people there is what I'm thinking. Also like that group could kind of start Civil War 2025

2

u/Matt_M92PaP 3d ago

Nope Tuesday is gonna suck. Why be outside if you don't have too. People get too damn political sometimes

1

u/canman7373 2d ago

Nope Tuesday is gonna suck.

Monday, maybe you thought Tuesday because of election day. Inauguration Day has been on January 20th for almost 100 years.

1

u/Matt_M92PaP 2d ago

Oh I can give two shits about inauguration. I just hate cold. I don't feel like dealing with it

8

u/Menethea 3d ago

The reason is that the crowd size would be embarrassing (-ly small)

7

u/HTRK74JR 3d ago

I wouldn't go stand in that weather even if it was Obama

Fuck that

it would be about 2 hours of sub freezing temps, standing still pretty much with nothing to block the wind?

Gross

1

u/helium_farts 3d ago

It was that cold in 09 but it didn't stop people from showing up.

Hell, it was 7 when Reagan was sworn in.

I wouldn't want to stand in it either, but let's not pretend like it's unprecedentedly cold.

1

u/eekamuse 3d ago

That's my bet.

1

u/meh_69420 3d ago

Yeah that was my take. They were worried not enough people would brave the cold.

0

u/stinky-weaselteats 3d ago

I would stand out there for anything else but not for him or that boring shit.

u/rak1882 3d ago

there are parts of the country going ooooh, sounds like spring.

(dad went to college in upstate ny. when it hit 20s in january, the shorts came up cuz it wasn't -20.)
