A tweet from the White House heralding a snowy D.C. has people scratching their heads as the city stews in unseasonably warm, snow-free weather.
“First snow of the year!” the official account tweeted on Sunday night with a photo of snow sprinkling over the White House.

The tweet was met with a wave of confusion pointing out that it was a little over 50 degrees in the city at that time, with no snow in sight.
It wasn’t even the first time the White House had posted the photo this weekend; the Washington Post pointed out that it had posted the same photo on Facebook with an identical caption on Friday–and it hadn’t snowed in D.C. that day either.
According to the Post, the White House on Sunday tweeted, then deleted, a link to the image on Flickr explaining that the photo was taken “during a snow flurry” on Tuesday, which was shortly before Iran had fired missiles at Iraqi bases holding U.S. troops.
Thus the strange posts on Friday and Sunday were likely a result of the original post being delayed on D.C.’s actual “first snow” day.
Little wonder: when your head is that far up your own (or someone else’s) ass, how are you supposed to know what the weather outside is doing??
I’ve never seen such a bunch of screwups. There’s not one I’d hire to work in a school district PR shop or write a press release for a company that makes knife sharpeners. If you’re not “detail-oriented” enough to ask yourself if it snowed today or not you’re not suited for the role.
Apparently, this White House has an awful lot of time on their hands. If they were actually doing the people’s business they wouldn’t be tweeting nonsense at all, but what do you expect?
From TPM’s morning rundown this is today’s schedule for the Bambino in Chief:
That’s a whole lot of nothing tRump’s doing today. More time to send his minions to tweet nonsense and more time for himself to tweet bullshit when the feeling moves him.
And this is what we’re paying him for? Lunch with his VP so they can get their lies on the same page, and taxpayer money to disrupt a championship college football game with the SS in tow, thus making it even more complicated than it normally would be regarding security at that event. This is truly how he spends every day not working though. Eh…Maybe we’re all safer this way.
In fact, quite a few of them shouldn’t be allowed on school property without supervision.
Goes to show how gullible and stupid they think we are.
