So being outside over age 50 at 24F is suffering to you? Skiing is great 24F & I'd still be doing it now at age 76 if not for a bad knee I just had replaced. I have friends my age still skiing, one age 82. I was shoveling snow at 20F a week back. LMAO.

What this says to me that we should be concerned about Trump's health in general & whether he'll make it 4 more years. Here's hoping he does but this move doesn't inspire confidence. He should move the Oval Office to Mar a Lago if a mere inauguration is a concern. I mean it takes 5 minutes.
LMAO Good Lord.
 
Want to see some of what is going on?? In Korea.... Watch a little, watch the police... Note: This is in Korean so...



This is happening now and has been... Seeing a lot of buses, people brought those in so protesters can get out of the cold for a bit. People donating all sorts of food. The bad thing though. No guns to combat guns....

I worked alongside Korean marines for a couple of months. I saw them do things you would think no human could do to another.
 
Hopefully the Capitol police doing unlock the doors and let everyone in.

Libs need to unwad their panties about the Inauguration being indoors.

It likely has as much to do with being easier to secure than the weather.

The Left has been praying and hoping for a Trump murder for a long time. They’ve even come close to getting it.
vh wanted it too. I called him out THAT day on his bullshit. That is why he put me on ignore LMAO!

Edit: notice he laughed at your comment ... he is in thick with the left on that. Net, he is an a$$hat.

The inauguration is more than likely being moved indoors for security reasons. Weather is just the excuse, IMO.
Leftists are triggered and big mad. They are likely to try anything.

Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of MAGA folk planning on seeing the inauguration. If what you say is the case, they should of taken it inside weeks ago. Face it. It's always all about Trump & HIS comfort & to hell with anyone else. I assume they're canceling the parade too because it's unsafe for those performers, right? Or is the parade going to go thru the Capitol Rotunda? Suckers!

Yes Sir, and Korean Marines take pride in their status like none I have ever seen. They take that to the grave. (Many soldiers do but they wear their service like a tattoo.. A body tattoo...Korean Marines, not all branches.). I spent three years in Korea 2012 to 2015. I worked right alongside the Korean soldiers and Korean Marines in several areas but not all the time but I interacted nearly daily with them. Used to once or twice a week buy a young soldiers chow at our dining facility. Cost a couple bucks but I made a couple friends there and it was a decent time interacting. I was usually behind one of them and I'd just reach forward and say "I got it" and point to his chow then me.) The Korean civilians I worked with though DANG do they drink... I will stop...
 
First of all….Im not MAGA. I’m just anti Liberal.

Second…please don’t deny that the Left wants him dead. You will look foolish.

Sometimes I think you are here just to troll. I already know your schtick is to be a contrarian. But whatever.
He refuses to acknowledge Trump has a much greater threat of assassination, and that Inauguration Day is a particularly high profile/high risk event given those who are desperate for Trump to not be sworn in may see it as their best and last opportunity.

I believe the changes to Inauguration Day proceedings probably have elements of both security and comfort as driving forces.
 
Was reading an article the other day about the Biden admin placing some obese woman from the Kamala campaign into a role that they’d argue can’t be fired by Trump.

Aside from the bullshit of them planting someone, that person deserves to be fired simply for being such a loser they’d allow themself to be used as a pawn in the political game.

The sole reason they were hired in that role is so the Dems can sue Trump when he fires her on day 1. It’s like the lunatic lady who made up the stories about Cavanaugh, or the crazy lady who ripped the plot of a law and order episode to make up a story about Trump.

These people are such goddam losers, yet such important cogs in the democrat machine.
Move the position to Ukon Alaska. If they want to keep their job then move just like tons of Americans have to do every day.
 


I think Bessent ends up being the star of the cabinet. I've heard several people who were skeptical of him became huge fans after talking to him. Super smart dude and fairly based politically. He definitely sees some of the problems and isn't just "saying the right thing".
It also shows the difference between Republicans and democrats.

If he was a Democrat nominee all we would be hearing about is how he's a gay dude. Yet nothing, and we don't care, bc we want qualified ppl, not just ppl that can check boxes.
 
What's the non-starter is parents needing to tolerate public school systems incompetence unless they can afford to do otherwise. Why that's acceptable to you is disgusting. Ad nauseum ain't going away.
There’s no way to determine the efficacy of private schools in this state because they don’t take the same assessments. However, there’s plenty of data to show that most private and voucher have little effect on performance enhancement on the students that go there from other states.
It wouldn't be raining at 24 degrees.
Inclement weather is what I was referring to.
 


I get the feeling the warnings of terrorist attacks caused this more than the weather.
If anything, they recognized how small the outside crowd was actually going to be (Regardless of tickets authorized.) & didn't want to be shown up by Obama's largest ever crowd size for a second time. But of course super-MAGA you would claim to feel that way. LMAO.

I'll go with that by letting only 1K people into the Rotunda, Trump can keep it as elite as possible while the working men & women who he claims he loves & who were taking off work & paying to come & see him get screwed over. Who cares though. Suckers!

Want Civil War? Murder Trump on Inauguration Day and that will happen.
 
We aren't building starter homes either. 1br and 1 bath homes for people starting out. Everything built now is 3br 2 bath or bigger.

Just saw one go on the market in Lexington for 220k. 1B 1BA. What's sad is that most can't afford a 150k starter home, much less a 220k. There also isn't the return on those 1B 1BA that you used to get because they sit on the market longer with the higher valuation.

Truly first time homebuyers that don't have help from the parents ALREADY couldn't afford a down payment, but now their closing costs are higher, and their payment with PMI just isn't possible. Add to that LOANS ARE NO LONGER as CUSTOMIZABLE for situations as they used to be. Can't do a "low closing cost loan" if you don't offer it to everyone, but not everyone is in the same boat.

Builders also aren't building as many multifamily properties as before. Theres too much competition from apartment and other rentals to bother with it.

There's simply not the profit margin in those as their used to be because land/development prices have shot up, and the loans lower end buyers need are a complete PITA to get past appraisal and inspections. Better to build higher on the same footprint or build on larger lots for a premium price point.

It's also hard to keep laborers, and keep costs down per property, and meet deadlines.

People are putting larger down payments and having to jump through much fewer hoops on non-starter home price points and floor plans, so there's less lending risk and quicker, more hassle free processing of the loans. A buddy just told me it took as many as 6 months after completion to close a new build starter home that had a contract on it well before it was finished, and that was 5 years ago. Prices have since approx doubled on that price point, leading to fewer prime, eligible buyers.

At those price points, it's so much cheaper to rent an apartment in some places that people won't pull the trigger on a purchase, but the rents are high enough that they really can't save for a down payment like they could 10 yrs ago. Now that COL is so high and wages are no where near responding, it's not worth it for most builders

Where did I say I don't think many on the Left want him dead?

Many here claim that Trump is looking out for the common man and then he pulls this schtick, showing his true colors. I don't want them to forget this phony act.

BTW, since it's too cold at 20-25F to stand outside for 5 minutes to be inaugurated in front of 10's of K people who were traveling to see the event, shouldn't he issue an EO banning sporting events when the temperature is below freezing? I mean 50-80K attend 3-4 hours long football games in zero degree weather. Isn't that way more dangerous than this weather and short time? Whole thing is total bs.

Why shouldn't parents be able to decide what's best for their kids instead of government? I thought the idea was to have less government. Or are you a lib?
 
^^^^

Again….i don’t think it’s the weather solely or even the main factor.

But announcing that they can secure indoors better probably isn’t too smart if you are the ones doing the securing.

Demonstrations and interruptions can be controlled better. And you know as well as I that there will be both present. Hell, it was hard enough to just get thru the confirmation hearings.

Just my opinion
