It’s supposed to be the coldest inauguration in 40 years, maybe some of the parasites will die.

I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I won't be attending the inauguration.

I wouldn't attend it even if I thought it was the best president ever being inaugurated. High of 24 in D.C. on Monday, low of 9. I hope Trump and his supporters all get frostbite.
