Discussion: Trump's Inauguration Had A Lot Of Open Space Compared To Obama's (PHOTO)

Isn’t that what he projected at the RNC? Awful cities and roving bands of criminals?

Yup. All Trump needs is a terror attack, all he doesn’t need is a state like China or Russia doing something…

Trump supporters could not attend the inauguration. They were all working at their new factory jobs that he created today.

Trump: This is expected. My target audience is Electoral College and not the common masses. I am just too smart for this country.

The Twitter is full of wingers claiming Dems/liberals don’t work but that tactic doesn’t work when W. had his.

Don’t know. Unattributed in the video and I don’t watch CNN so I didn’t recognize the voice. Suffice to say, as you so succinctly put it, “some moron”.

Is this a real tweet or fake tweet?

No need to pollute the coverage with fake stuff, Trump real news is bad enough. Additionally, what in Trump’s plan is beneficial to the “forgotten man.” Why is non of the coverage asking this question? The Wall Street Journal person on CBS’s coverage talked of how change will happen for the forgotten person in optimistic terms but did not mention any policy other than ones that would be harmful to the comman person as she listed executive orders to be rolled back and ACA repeal

Come on! That’s not a fair comparison! I mean, they had to reserve space for the tanks and rocket launchers, right?

“The Washington metro system reported that 193,000 metro rides had been recorded by 11 a.m. ET on Friday, versus 513,000 by that time during Obama’s 2009 inauguration.”

“It was my understanding there would be no math.”

I think there are just as many people on the right. That’s just what lily-white people look like when they crowded together.

Maybe all of the 390,000 were from California so they don’t count.

How sad, Donald resorts to lying.   That may indeed be the standard of his admin.

“He didn’t really offend people” is one hella low bar to measure whether or not a speech was unifying. Damn, I hate it down this rabbit hole.

Following up on my unscientific poll of earlier in the day, based on what I saw at lunch, somewhere north of 60% of the people who ate lunch downtown in my conservative center-right city got up this morning and decided to wear black. There was no social media call, no movement. Just people getting out of bed this morning and, whether consciously or not, deciding to dress in the color of mourning. (Albeit also the slimming color that goes with anything.)

So, in all seriousness, people, go read Josh’s editorial–the best effing thing he’s ever written for my money–and then, as we pull ourselves together and begin facing the darkness, remember that we aren’t a town, or a county, or a state. We are a nation and we are already in the majority in that nation. On Day One. A majority already growing and seemingly ready to seize on any form of peaceful resistance and join any expression of opposition that comes to their attention.

They want us to think that doesn’t matter. That it doesn’t matter to them and it shouldn’t matter to us. They will be telling those in the minority that it isn’t true, that it’s fake news because har har har these are the same polls that said Hillary was going to win.

They will do immense harm before we stop them. We will have another conservative majority on SCOTUS, with someone more extreme than Scalia making five. Public lands will be handed over to oligarchs, regulations will be gutted, climate change science sent down the memory hole. Accept that now. We will lose many fights between now and 2018. But we are the majority and that matters.
