They see a picture of the inauguration from the sky and of course, they immediately proclaim it to be fake. And if they say it's fake, it...must...be...fake, and then all opposition gets ignored.

9. blue sky reflected in the water? No. Yesterday's photo from EarthCam has a freaking TIME STAMP.
And then reality hits...

10. Oh bullshit! We all saw it LIVE yesterday, and it was empty. And Trump at the CIA huge disaster
So the fascists will be claiming that his speech was hacked -- the REAL speech was all about the sacrifices the CIA has made, not TRUMP's Time Magazine covers! Lmfao

14. Facing the Washington Monument...
With a fish-eye lens. Can't really see the long part of the mall, but you can see some of the white fooring. So it's a deceptive picture. Could be authentic but doesn't show the long part of the mall clearly. I do see the white areas behind the people gathered in the front of each section. Can't compare to the '09 pics taken from other end.

Unless it was for a democrat or leftist cause then it is 2 million people. My goodness get with the pogrom.

One of the odder traits of a true primitive is to look right at something and then declare it wasn`t there.

They were lying. And in typical Trump fashion... now President Trump fashion... he hit back at them. The MSM are beside themselves. The GOP president is supposed to ignore our lies, damnit! and this asshole ain't doing it!!!
Every time he does that his supporters are cheering him on.
I predict the MSM is going to have a long 4 and possibly 8 years.

KW needs to get a new monitor/display and actually look at the picture:
1.) The reflection is gray;
2.) The sky is very obviously cloudy;
3.) Supplemental lights are on.
Now, had DU-folk cared enough about learning the truth, they could have found this WashPost picture from "Inauguration 2013" (the search phrase I used on Google):
(https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://img.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/files/2013/01/capitol-inauguration.jpg&w=480)
Unlike that picture from Inauguration Day 2017, in 2013 they had blue skies with light cirrus clouds. So the pic DU-folk hate is not from 2013.
And here is a Guardian pic from "Inauguration 2009" (my search phrase):
(https://static-secure.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Books/Pix/pictures/2009/01/23/obama460.gif)
Again, blue skies with light cirrus clouds; again, the pic DU-folk hate is not from 2009.
What DU-folk hate is these two things:
1.) As evidenced by the crowd, Trump is very popular;
2.) Prog protesters were, at most, a minor disruption, distant from the Inaugural and unable to keep most of Trump's supporters away from the ceremony.

More in a separate thread. But let Ralphie hit you DUmmies with a clue bat since yours truly was in attendance at both the Inauguration and the Saturday "whatever goofball protest" that was. My boots were on the ground at both.
Both events were wall to wall people. Incredibly well attended. Who really gives a flying poo exactly how many people were there?
As I said above, much more in a separate thread soon.

Who cares what crowd size was? Republicans control the White House, both houses of congress, a majority of state governments and soon the United States Supreme Court. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

It's definitely been a media hit job for some reason...
That being said, why were the streets so empty for the parade? do most people usually skip that and split town or ?
I've never been to one, ever. I've been in DC a few times, but never even been to the capitol area where all this stuff is at

Heard locally that a lot of government employees took Friday off. And lots of other locals got out of town.
Was my first visit here since I was young. The trains were certainly packed, all day both Friday & Saturday. Haven't been in a car since my own on Thursday at the airport.

For one thing, the luncheon went a lot longer than it normally does.

For all the lurking DUmmies, take this little bit of information back under your rock with you. Most of the between the coast people that elected Pres. Trump to office are either not big crowd people or have to work. Plus the fact it only takes two people the new president and the justice reading the oath. So for the s**thead DUmmies do us all a favor and go hug a root and :bigbird:

That is the point, to be sure, but when the MSM get caught in lies like this, they need to be hammered. Why forgo that kind of fun?

I don't know why they keep trying to say he is not. He won the election!
-
Funny, the DUmmies are concerned about crowd sizes now. During the election they said the yuge crowds Trump produced and the pathetic ones Hillary drew did not matter.

I don't know why they keep trying to say he is not. He won the election!
In all seriousness,

I went around this barn a couple of times yesterday with a FB friend yesterday when she posted the supposed side-by-side pix of one of Obama's inaugurations and the one from 2017 showing the near empty Capitol Mall. As of last evening she hadn't come to the place of acknowledging that some media person(s) had lied and she had trusted the lie because it fit what she wanted to believe. I don't know whether, right now, she can come to the point of questioning WHY MSM folk are lying so often (e.g. the Slime mag "reporter" who falsely claimed Trump had removed a bust of MLK from the Oval Office; or the GoldenShowersgate claim that one of Trumps lawyers had traveled to Prague to coordinate with Russia, when that lawyer had not not been to Prague) and of realizing that the MSM are utterly untrustworthy in all they report about Trump.

This is w-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-y far off-topic, but damn it, it's something that's bothered me since I was kid, something that's bothered me for decades.
For millennia, Egypt always fed itself--and sometimes much of the rest of the world--because the Nile River once a year overflowed its banks, creating the delta (the green area on the map).
Then some long-ago third-world despot, Camel Nasser, got this idea of building the Aswan Dam, so as to stop all that. (I think his real objective however wasn't a dam; I suspect it was more to get western greenbacks into a Swiss bank account.)
So the dam was built, so as to keep the Nile River from overflowing and providing all that wonderful agricultural terrain. Why did they want to dry up the delta?
The only thing worse than an advanced society ****ing with nature is a third-world country ****ing with nature.
