The shot I saw of DC showed clear, sunny skies. I remember hearing on the news two days earlier that the weather might put , " a damper" on the protest...a forecast of minus 300 and showers of bullshit were expected...okay, I exagerate...but it was a dire forecast.
Now, I'm your garden variety conspiracy nut...I mean these people are so obvious by now you just know you can't believe them. Most weather info comes from government satelites...wouldn't it be a low level enough thing to take a worse case scenario for the forecast that day?
If it had snowed and been miserable the same would hold...the same attempt to discourage turnout...I mean the man won Florida by cheating outright...so cut us nuts some slack here.
They've addmitted to "thinking" about a disinformation campaign here and said they were doing it in Iraq...so why not give a bad forecast, even if you have to read the charts "wrong". Oops.
I'd do it if I was in their place...I'd have to be that way to GET into the place these crumbs now occupy.
