March 4th should be most famous as the anniversary of this event:

“March 4th, 1873 — Ulysses S. Grant’s second inauguration — still stands as the coldest March day on record for Washington, and it was a wintry disaster. Just how cold was it? Look at it this way: the recorded temperature at noon was 16°F. Wind gusts of 40mph created a wind chill of "-15° to -30°F." The inaugural parade sent many frost-bitten cadets to the hospital. And forget about having any music to see them off — the musicians' breath froze in their instruments and they were quite unable to play.

“The inaugural ball was even worse. It took place in a temporary structure not designed to withstand the cold. Guests arrived and kept their overcoats firmly wrapped around them. They must have looked quite silly as they stiffly danced to whatever music the musicians could coax out of their frozen instruments.

“While they were dancing, dead birds fell on their heads. (Yes, you heard that right!) Hundreds of canaries in cages had been hung from the ceiling above to add a cheery atmosphere with their song, but any of the little birds that hadn’t frozen to death were obviously too cold to sing. The dead ones slipped from their perches and fell on the unfortunate dancers below. Even the refreshments offered the guests no relief. The champagne was reportedly frozen solid and one guest "claimed the coffee turned to frappe."

I have really no proper emoji reaction for the above anecdote. Interesting. Kind of morbid and sad, but interesting. I wonder if Grant was drunk.

Only the best for everyone.

still better than Columbus Day

If these lunatics attack the Capitol, it is not their fault - it’s a protest, it’s not their fault it’s the police that aren’t properly prepared, or they are over prepared and it’s a cover to gain control, it’s not their fault it’s liberal media and Dems, 

Probably missing a whole slew of things here.

But most importantly it’s not a problem and the Dems and BLM caused it.

When you search for moths for a conspiracy theorist and only find one in the mirror.

Not one canary was harmed in the failed coup.

It truly was a beautiful ceremony.
