Not the first time Nazis have been defeated by the cold.

Too cold for them maybe, but never too cold for the younger generation they would order to kill or be killed for their interests while they snuggle inside with hot cocoa.

When the rich wage war it’s the poor who die. And they will take advantage the poverty they keep us in to make us glad for it.

It sure would inconvenience and undercut rightwing messaging and underlying sexism if people were to normalize saying that the Republican Party is for pussies (yes, that term specifically)

Have any other inaugurations been held inside for the same reason? They're always in January. I can't imagine this is the first time it's been cold outside during one of these.

Edit: looked it up. Reagan's second inauguration was held indoors due to cold. Hes the only president with an indoor inauguration since they were moved to January in 1933. It was 7°F. That seems somehow ironic.

Not a problem: the US has figured out how to turn Greenland balmy and glow-in-the-dark some 65 years ago.

A polar land grab is consistent with their plans to accelerate global warming though.

Trump already setting up for his string of excuses why nobody shows up?

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think he's setting up to say: 'there were so many people we had to turn some away', while only having a tenth the capacity of a normal inauguration

They have to personally attend the insuguration.

There's no way they personally invade Greenland.
