Biggest D.C. Snowstorm in Years Threatens to Derail 2024 Election Certification as Congress Flees Capital Despite Advisory to Stay

What else can go wrong? 😔

The foot of snow is for the mountains far from Washington DC. I am sure DC will get 5 inches or less.

Why would they leave washington because of the threat of a snow storm, when their job is to be there to be in Congress?

The new session of CONGRESS were just sworn in. WHY would they leave town to be intentionally absent?

All the reports we’ve seen are saying we will have between 6 and 10 inches.

The real problem here is usually ice.

WHY would they leave town to be intentionally absent?

To delay certification. They hope they can come up with four years of delays.

Lighten up, Frances.

For the 20500 ZIP code area, today’s forecast is 35F and overcast. Tomorrow’s forecast is 30F with 3 in of snow. Partly to mostly cloudy for the next week.

Take a few deep breaths, Jim. It will be business as usual (for DC).

Just re-convene in the western white house at Mar-A-Lago Florida.

Uuuggggh! Dumbocrats and RINOs using the weather as an excuse to stop Trump’s certification. Hopefully, this is a “members-present” exercise.

My thoughts also.

Mar a lago is the place you outta to be, just load up the limo and move to Trumps retreat!

WJLA TV weather is forecasting 4-9 inches of snow for the DC Metro area from tonight (Sun) through late tomorrow (Mon)

I'm going over to Monkey Werx US to see if there has been any cloud seeding near the Capitol.

When storm systems move through one of our cloud seeding project areas, a solution containing a small amount of silver iodide is burned from ground-based generators or released from aircraft. Upon reaching the cloud, the silver iodide acts as an ice forming nuclei to aid in the production of snowflakes.

The new session of CONGRESS were just sworn in. WHY would they leave town to be intentionally absent?

So they wouldn't have a quorum in Congress thus not being able to Certify the election.

Nothing that an AWD or FWD car can’t usually handle.

Is someone just being dramatic?

To save, ya know, democracy and all

I don’t see a lot of information on this, but in a joint session, the quorum needed is apparently a simple majority of each chamber.

I don’t know; apparently some here suspect there are people trying to upset the final certification. It seems to me that would be hard to do if not impossible.

That's no excuse. Anyone not on hand to vote, given the warning and the relative ease of transportation in 2025, is an Insurrectionist trying to destroy Our Democracy, and should be hanged.
