      My crowd size is massive, it was just cold out!

      Anyone else remember that ’alternative’ facts was originally a response to crowd size at the first inauguration?

    We all know its really because he won’t be getting the crowds his fragile ego needs. This may be the first time a snowflake ever melted because of freezing temperatures.

      Maybe the 10 MAGA that show up will storm the building because the deep state is blocking their view? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Beautiful poetry that I will note and save … you are a genius with words.

        I was thinking communicable diseases. You know there won’t be a mask in the place, and people will be hollering and slobbering all over each other. The effect on fascism seems hard to determine from my perspective. Will more people die or become disabled? Maybe that slows the fascists down a smidge. Time will tell, my friend.

    Possibly a way to avoid smaller crowd stories, though I doubt it. He has many more fans now than he did the first time he got in.

    If an asteroid hit, that’d solve issues for a hell of a lot of people.

      While I doubt it will happen, I’d love to see this move indoors to a smaller venue and STILL be unable to sell out.

    I thought conservatives were all supposed to be tough and manly and shit. My small gay ass is sitting outside all day in 0 degree weather in a boom lift installing cams on the side of office buildings and this motherfucker can’t brave the cold for a couple hours or so?

    Coward… If you cant stand in the cold for 15 min. To give a speech you shouldn’t be able to do the job. If he is worried about getting harrison’d then wear a better coat.

    I thought he was a MAN.

    Indoors is woke.

    Can you imagine the circus if Kamala or Biden had theirs indoors?

    He’s for sure going to say that global warming isn’t happening because they had to move in from the cold.

            It involves reading this book.

            spoiler

            There was a familiar building on the junction of Broad Way and Alchemists. The facade was ornate, but covered in grime. Gargoyles had colonized it.

            The corroded motto over the portico said “NEITHER RAIN NOR SNOW NOR GLOM OF NIT CAN STAY THESE MESSENGERS ABOUT THEIR DUTY” and in more spacious days that may have been the case, but recently someone had found it necessary to nail up an addendum which read:

            DON’T ASK US ABOUT:

            • rocks
            • troll’s with sticks
            • All sorts of dragons
            • Mrs. Cake
            • Huje green things with teeth
            • Any kinds of black dogs with orange eyebrows
            • Rains of spaniel’s.
            • fog.
            • Mrs. Cake

            (It is later revealed that the missing letters in the motto have been stolen and repurposed for the sign over a salon elsewhere in the city.)
