10. She's absolutely right...
Snow would bring this damn coronation to a grinding halt. People lose their minds when it snows here.

7. this is true. maybe just a localized storm cloud there for the sole
purpose of raining on his parade?

8. nah...
I am hoping for record lows, single digits.
A nice, slow moving, wet slushy snowfall that's ass deep.
Maybe even mix in some freezing rain, or an ice storm or two.

I want it to be as uncomfortable as possible, and I want it to be as difficult as possible to get around in DC that day.

Do you think they have vetted every snowplow driver or minimum wage day laborer that's going to be swept from temp services across the city to wield a snow shovel?

I just want it to rain on the Boy Kings parade.
And rain hard.

Fuck' em and his stupid rich soulless friends and his waste of time and money party.

For I am spending NOT ONE DAMN DIME (on that) DAY!!!!!!!!!!

9. The sky becomes pitch black at noontime.
Lightening - Full moon - 100mph winds - Wolves howling - The ground shakes.
