For a White Christmas  

Comedic “journalist” Dunn Lemming went into a laughing fit after saying, “So you want a White Christmas? You’re not getting it this year because POTUS, that Chump, is mad at all of you. He told the Weather Service he didn’t want New York to have a White Christmas.”

Waving her hand over the socially-distanced crowd, Rep. Allie Oakland-Curtis cried out, “All of you out there, you’re not getting a White Christmas this year.” She stretched her hand out, palm up, and looked at the sky as though expecting something. “See, no snow.” Lowering her gaze, her eyes swept the audience. “Wanta know why? I’ll tell you why. That man in the White House, that Chump, he had the Weather Service stop all snow until after New Year’s so we won’t have a White Christmas. He’s punishing us for electing Harris - I mean Biden (well, what’s the difference?). It’s time we let them know that we’re the ones who are mad, really mad!”

That night and the following day, comedians and pundits were mocking Lemming and the Congresswoman. References and allusions were made to fairy tales, sorcery, superstition, and witch doctors. However, her accusation gained traction among some segments of the population.

Two days later, protesters filled the street in front of the National Weather Service offices. They carried signs reading “LET IT SNOW” and “NO SNOW? OH NO! WE WANT OUR SNOW.” When crews from several television networks and the Washington Post had set up shop, the protesters began chanting and singing, “I’m screaming for a White Christmas.”

Now the country was divided among those who thought the President had the power to have the weather manipulated for political purposes and those who slammed this as a crazy, irrational notion. Many politicians worried about the prospect of unrealistic expectations should they ever gain the White House.
