Get a water balloon and fill it with skunk musk ... basically skunk feces or the anal glands of a dead skunk

let it sit in the sun for an afternoon before you use it.

throw it anywhere near the parade route

the stink will last for days

I like the way you think but am horrified by your potential skunk-harvesting techniques.

In northern Ontario, on average I'll notice at least four or five skunks a summer that have been hit on the highway. It's not on purpose, it's usually accidental, especially at night. When someone hits a fox or raccoon, no one ever notices ... but if they hit a skunk, it will stink up that section of highway for about a week and everyone will notice.

What's the skunk to water balloon ratio for this operation?

Can lightning disable a tank? I don't want the crews to get hurt but four or five M1 Abrams stuck in the middle of Constitution Ave would make for some fucking GREAT b-roll for the nightly news.

I'm more interested in whether it'll disable a particular president. See the secret service try to prevent that act of god

Give him a really tall metal chair to watch it from.

[–] HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

Maybe somewhere high up so he can see better. The top of the Washington Monument for example...

Aw. TFG has such bad luck, no one has suffered like him.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can't he just sharpie away the thunderstorm?

[–] NChiwana76@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Maybe he can nuke it.

Cancel his parade and force the withdrawal of troops from LA? But that'll make Trump sad.

Mother nature says "no!"

This is the inauguration all over again. This idiot thinks he has massive support from the people for his garish displays, until it gets close to time that will reveal how broadly hated he actually is, then either he or his team change things up to protect his fragile ego.

may be cancelled over thunderstorms
